Call Now: 350-217-6400What are the Factors Influencing Stockton Bus Rental Pricing?
Several factors go into how we create our bus rental pricing at Charter Bus Stockton. Your total bus cost will depend on factors like trip distance, time of year, availability, the type of bus, amenities, driver needs, and the day of the week. Read on to learn more!
Travel Time and Distance
Generally, we calculate local charter bus rental pricing per hour, meaning you’ll only be charged for the hours you spend traveling. Long-distance charter rentals across state lines are more often charged per mileage, where rates fluctuate depending on how many miles your trip will span. Multi-day journeys are usually calculated by the day, where your quote will reflect each day your bus or buses are needed. The more accurate you are when requesting your rental and getting a quote, the less you are likely to run into overages at the end of your trip.
When You Need Transportation
Peak travel seasons, holidays, game days, graduations, proms, concerts–any big events you can think up are usually the most expensive time to rent a bus, due to high demand and limited supply. Generally, prices tend to be higher from April to June and in September and October. If your trip falls within this window, you should call us at least 6 months before your planned event to make sure you’re securing a bus at a good rate.
Location and Availability of Buses
In places where there are a limited number of bus options, or buses that offer your special requests like ADA-compliant features, or if you’re booking last minute during a busy season, your quote may reflect that. Also, keep in mind that if your pick-up or drop-off point is far away from the bus company, your quote may be higher, since your driver will travel to meet you with no passengers aboard to share the mileage cost.
Vehicle and Features
Your cost will likely change if you rent a full-sized charter bus, minibus, party bus, or a sprinter van. The cost of your bus rental can also fluctuate if you request additional features or services. For example, most buses come with air-conditioning and reclining seats as standard, and some even have WiFi as an added free feature. If your passengers need onboard restrooms or power outlets to stay productive during a corporate event, those additions could increase your final price.
Rental Needs During the Week
When we calculate your costs, our agents will consider which day of the week you’re traveling to provide the most accurate quote for you. If your group’s travel dates are midweek, your rental cost per hour is likely lower than that of a weekend group trip. In our experience, bus rentals tend to have lower minimum-rental requirements for daytime and mid-week bookings when there’s lower demand.
Best Time to Travel by Bus
Since most parties and special events happen in the evening, like weddings or concerts, bus prices tend to be higher from early evening to very late night hours. If you book during non-peak hours for events like a school field trip or museum tour, your rate may be lower. It’s always recommended that you let your Charter Bus Stockton representative know the time of day you’ll be traveling so your quote is accurate!
Available Amenities On Board
Your party, event, meeting or field trip will surely get even better when your bus includes amenities tailored to your experience! A small party bus will likely include a sound system and ambient lighting to party on the way to a baseball game, while a business shuttle bus could have additional WiFi, power outlets, and USB ports for passengers to stay connected or catch up on work on the way to an industry event. Need an ADA-accessible vehicle to accommodate members of your family, school class, or corporate team? Charter Bus Stockton buses and sprinter vans also offer ADA accommodations!
Other Expenses To Keep In Mind
Your party, corporate, or wedding event won’t always be over after your final drop-off. Remember to factor in additional event costs like overnight accommodations and per diems for your driver during a multi-day bus trip and tip for your charter bus driver (about 10-15%). You should also take event ticket or admissions costs, catering and venue expenses, and other additional fees that don’t always come with a charter bus rental service into consideration when setting a budget for your trip or outing.
Save Your Money with These Tips
Are you on a tight budget but in need of reliable group transportation for you and your party? Well, when you rent a charter bus or party bus in Stockton with Charter Bus Stockton there’s so many ways to save. Make a list of cost-saving strategies to save money on your trip by renting your charter bus rental in advance, which is recommended 6-9 months in advance.
