Call Now: 810-406-1370What are the Factors Influencing Flint Bus Rental Pricing?
Flint bus rental pricing varies, much like charter bus pricing in any city! Several factors are taken into consideration, such as: the type of bus you charter, the time of year, your route, any extra travel costs such as tolls and parking fees, and costs for your bus driver. When you call to book your charter, your reservation agent will break down all these expenses so there aren’t any surprises on the day of your trip.
Trip Length and Time
Most charter bus companies require a minimum number of hours for a bus rental, which is usually around five. If your trip takes less time, your agent may be able to waive this requirement, but this isn’t guaranteed.
Longer trips are generally calculated on a daily basis or by total mileage. If you are going on a multi-day trip, such as a sports team tournament, expect your charter bus price to reflect the number of days. Your price quote will also include the overnight costs for your bus driver, which is usually the price of a 3-star hotel room.
It’s also important to note that if your itinerary changes after your charter bus is booked, you may be charged for any additional mileage or duration of time on the road.
The Season
Charter bus rentals vary according to the time of year. Demand for party buses tends to go up during popular travel seasons like summer (May, June, and July) and around the holidays. With increased demand, supply tends to go down, so rates for minibuses and charter buses are likely higher during this time period.
You’re less likely to find high demand in January and February, so your prices may be lower. During off seasons, there’s more availability and your prices may be lower.
Your Pickup Location
Charter bus providers in smaller towns such as Flint, Michigan may charge a premium because they often have fewer vehicles. Availability of buses is also a concern. To reduce the cost of your bus rental, try to organize pickup in a nearby bigger city, like Lansing or Detroit.
You may also be charged a deadhead cost if your start city requires your driver to travel farther to reach you. Deadhead refers to the mileage that accumulates while your driver heads to your pickup location. Reduce deadhead by renting from a charter bus company close to your pickup or dropoff location.
Bus Models and Amenities
When you book with Charter Bus Flint, your charter bus rental will be custom-tailored to the needs of your group. This includes choosing the best bus type and size to fit your passenger count and any amenities your group may require. Our fleet includes everything from 18-passenger minibuses to 56-passenger charter buses to luxurious entertainer buses. Just let your agent know if you need a full-size charter bus or mini bus rental and we’ll be sure you have the bus that meets your needs.
If you’re planning a wedding or corporate party, the 30-50 seater party buses are a great option for smaller groups and they come equipped with plenty of special features to get the party started. This may include amenities like tinted windows, lighting systems, and sound systems. We also offer standard charter buses that are great for large groups of 56 or more, with options for added amenities like reclining seats and onboard restrooms if that is something your group needs.
Day and Time of Your Trip
When you rent a bus, prices are higher during peak hours on weekends (Friday through Sunday). If your group can travel earlier in the week, you’ll often receive a better rate. Your group can also cut costs by traveling during the day.
Most charter bus rental companies charge extra during peak evening times because of heightened demand, usually starting after 6:00 p.m. If your group isn’t required to be on the road after 6, consider traveling in the afternoon or early evening to get the best possible rate.
Additional Services and Amenities
Most amenities come with the bus you rent and don’t affect the total price, including features like reclining seats, WiFi, A/C, and even ADA compliance features. Other amenities, like TVs with a DVD player or onboard lavatories, may come at an additional charge. If your bus has a restroom, you can always make use of that restroom to tidy up during a long day of traveling or while preparing for the next event on your itinerary.
Additional Costs
Your charter bus rental quote may not include every possible expense, such as parking fees, tolls, and a tip for your bus driver. Gratuity for your driver isn’t required, but it’s appreciated if they provide good service. We recommend bringing cash to tip your driver. You can also ask your representative how to send a tip if you prefer not to use cash.
Tips for Saving
Need to keep costs down? If you have a large group, try to fill as many seats as possible to get the best per-person rate. If your group has fewer than 40 people, consider renting a smaller mini bus.
Reduce deadhead mileage (remember, deadhead is mileage the bus incurs without any passengers on board) by chartering a bus that’s located where you will be leaving from. When your driver has less distance to travel before meeting you, your quote will be lower.
Booking your trip in advance can also get your group discounted rates, so call as early as possible. Booking at least six months before peak travel season will ensure you get the best deal. It’s also a good idea to lock down an itinerary before calling so your trip won’t be hit with unexpected fees later on.
