Several variables affect the cost of renting a shuttle bus in Santa Fe: trip duration (hourly vs. daily), total mileage, number of days, vehicle size (seating capacity), pickup location relative to dispatcher base, and demand during peak seasons. Major events like Indian Market, Fiesta de Santa Fe, or Balloon Fiesta can increase rates due to limited availability.

It’s best to book your shuttle bus at least four to six weeks before your trip to secure the vehicle you want at the best price. If you’re traveling during a busy time—such as the Santa Fe Indian Market, Fiesta de Santa Fe, or around major holidays—availability can become extremely limited, and prices may rise due to high demand. In those cases, reserving two to three months ahead is strongly recommended. Last-minute bookings are possible if vehicles remain available, but selection and pricing will be less favorable. Once you know your date and rough headcount, contact us immediately to lock in options.
