Use of chartered bus

City of Yokohama, Transportation Bureau's chartered buses can be selected from limousine type, chartered car, reddish, and route buses!

Last update date December 18, 2023

Usage fee

Fares and fares are calculated by adding "hourly fares" and "kilometer fare" by applying the "time and kilometer fare system".
For detailed fares and fares, please contact us.

・Hourly fare (* 1) + Kilo fare (* 2) = Fare

  • ※1 hour fare = (running time + 2 hours) x hour unit price
    The "time fare" includes the forwarding time from departure to return in addition to the actual time for passengers to board. In addition, it is stipulated that one hour before and after the driving time is required for "rolling calls and inspection".
  • ※2-kilometer fare = travel kilo (km) x unit price
    The “kilometer fare” means the distance from departure to returning to Japan.

Other precautions

  • The minimum driving time is 3 hours. Even if the actual driving time is 1 hour, it will be treated the same as the driving time of 3 hours, and an hourly fare for 3 hours will be incurred.
  • Fractions of running time are rounded down for less than 30 minutes and rounded up to 1 hour for more than 30 minutes.
  • Fractions of mileage shall be rounded up to 10 km for less than 10 km.
  • There is also a discount setting. Please contact us for more information.

  • Expenses other than transportation will be actual expenses, and we ask our customers to bear the burden. Examples of actual expenses include toll road usage fees, parking fees, crew accommodation fees, etc., which will be required separately depending on the itinerary and request details.
  • In addition to the "time fare" and "kilometer fare", the following rates may be charged depending on the situation.

    Late night and early morning service rates: When driving or inspection time occurs between 22:00 midnight and 5:00 early in the morning

This is a method in which the crew pays cash on the day of operation. The flight attendant will bring you a receipt.
I'm sorry, but we don't have any change.

Delivery at a later date

After the middle of the month following the service day, a delivery notice issued by Transportation Bureau will be mailed.
Please bring this "Delivery Notice" to your bank and pay.
You can pay at any bank, but fees are free for the Bank of Yokohama or MUFG Bank.
