It’s best to book your charter bus as early as possible—ideally 3 to 6 months in advance—to ensure availability and get the best rates.

For major events like University of Nebraska game days or large festivals, book even earlier if possible. Last-minute rentals are possible but may be more expensive and have limited vehicle options.
