Several major factors can affect your bus rental price. When you go to finalize your trip, be sure you have these key details in place to get the most accurate quote possible. These factors include the length of the trip, whether you’re including overnight travel, how far the bus company you choose is, and of course, how many buses you’ll need.
Trip Distance and Duration
How far are you going? How long will you be there? The distance of your trip and its total duration both influence pricing. Long-distance, overnight trips are typically billed on a per-day basis, whereas local Palm Bay shuttles will likely be charged hourly. There may also be minimum hour requirements for short trips.
Time of Year
Bus rental prices increase when demand increases and decrease when it’s slow. Peak seasons for group travel are in the spring and summertime. You may have trouble booking a bus due to lack of availability.
Bus Type and Amenities
Your price will fluctuate with what you need. School bus rentals are usually the cheapest, but you’re sacrificing amenities that come standard with Palm Bay charter bus and minibus rentals, like air conditioning, TVs, and DVD players. If you have a large group, it’s more cost-effective than renting multiple vans. Larger bus rentals, such as shuttles accommodating up to 56 passengers, tend to be more expensive.
Starting Location
Where is your group meeting? Do they need to be picked up at multiple locations? The bus company will charge you for additional mileage (called “deadhead”) to get a bus from its headquarters to wherever your group’s starting point is. Minimizing this distance can help lower costs and optimize your time.
Additional Fees
Bus tolls and parking costs are often charged to the customer and aren’t always stated in a quote. Check with bus rental staff when you finalize pricing, and ask upfront whether or not your reservation includes parking at your destinations.
Overnight Stays for Drivers
Bus drivers are required by law to take a rest break after driving for 10 hours straight. If your itinerary includes more than 10 hours, the bus company has to pay for the driver to stay at a hotel.
Number of Drivers
If your trip requires more than 10 straight hours, an additional driver can be arranged to split the driving. Most companies will charge, sometimes several hundred dollars, for this service.
Gratuity for Your Driver
Similar to restaurant dining, bus drivers may accept a gratuity at the end of your service. It is not mandatory but can be appreciated, depending on the service received.
Tips for Saving on Your Bus Rental
Now that you understand the main factors that increase (and decrease) costs, consider these tips to help your trip stay within budget:
- Set a detailed itinerary to minimize additional mileage fees.
- Book early to have more options and lower costs, particularly if your event happens in the busy spring or summer months.
- Lower deadhead costs by picking up your group as close to the bus company location as realistically possible.
- Contact destinations beforehand to determine parking permit and fee policies.
- Request a discounted driver hotel cost or explore rooms that include flexible or multi-person occupancy options when you call your hotel.
