Charter Bus Rental Company Chesapeake works directly with a network of many local bus companies — each company sets its own prices — but there are certain factors like if you rent by the day, hour, or mile that every transportation company must consider.
Factors Affecting Your Trip Price
When getting a bus rental estimate, we look at several different factors. Based on these travel factors, trip prices may vary slightly.
Trip Distance and How Long You Need The Bus
Charter buses can be charged by the hour, day, or by the number of miles traveled. Most companies require rentals for a minimum number of hours, and if your event needs less time on the road your rental expert will work with you. Multi-day or long-distance trips are typically charged by the day, while short and sweet trips may only be charged by the hour.
Time of Year You Booked Your Bus
You’re likely to encounter higher pricing and less availability around certain dates—like April to June and national holidays and holiday weekends, due to special occasions like proms and school field trips and graduations, wedding ceremonies, or bachelor parties! If you absolutely need a charter bus rental during this busy time, we’ll do our best to connect you with the right ride.
Location and Local Events
Events like birthday parties at popular bars on Granby Street during peak nightlife seasons will be more expensive than renting during less popular hours due to limited availability and higher demand for services. This is similar to what is called surge pricing on apps like Uber and Lyft.
Bus Type and Its Amenities
Luxury, or new buses with updated interiors and amenities (WiFi, flatscreen TVs, lavatories etc.), are usually more expensive than standard, base model vehicles. Additionally, larger vehicles are often more expensive because the total cost of ownership and upkeep of the vehicle is more costly than smaller minibuses.
Your Day of Travel
If your trip takes place on a Friday or Saturday, odds are you’ll encounter higher charter bus pricing for hourly rates. We typically recommend renting between Monday-Thursday instead to get the best rate. Of course, you don’t always have an option to choose what day you want to travel, especially for things like a prom dance or your friend’s birthday celebration.
Traveling at Different Times
Peak times to rent a bus like a Friday night, during the after-work happy hour crowd or bar/club scene from 6pm to the early morning hours, come with increased rates to cover high demands and lower availability. Daytime rentals often mean lower rates.
Features On Your Charter Bus
Along with the model and age of the bus, what amenities are on board also have an effect on your rental rate. Usually, restrooms and WiFi can have an added cost to your trip but are almost always worth it, especially for longer journeys! Your group will enjoy personalized onboard entertainment and the comfort of a restroom.
Additional Things to Plan Your Budget Around
Don’t forget to factor in any overnight driver fees, parking costs, road tolls, and gratuities you may need while traveling. To ensure your driver or drivers are refreshed during a long-distance trip, some itineraries may even require 2 or more to be booked and will change your final trip price. If you know ahead of time what your additional costs may be, it’ll be easier to plan.
