Charter Bus Rochester Hills works with many different bus companies across Michigan, and each provider has slightly different rates. But generally, pricing is determined by whether your group is quoted by the day, hour, or mile based on what kind of travel plan your group has in mind. Whether it’s local or you’re headed across the nation, our reservation specialists will make sure you get the very best rate possible. The other way is to use our easy, 30-second online quote tool where you can browse pictures & pricing right from your phone!
How Distance & Time Affects Pricing
Rochester Hills bus rentals are priced by the hour, day, or mileage, depending on your specific travel plan. One-off trips that are short and sweet and don’t leave the city the bus is stationed in (aka local trips) will be likely calculated by the hour. Multi-day trips, on the other hand, are typically charged by the day. Or, if your travels take you over a long distance, it’s possible that your bus rental pricing will be calculated based on the number of miles traveled. And if you’re looking for a different package like a one-way or a round trip, our team is always happy to help. Just reach out and tell us about your trip, and we’ll help you plan a charter bus rental that works best for your passengers!
How Seasonality Affects Pricing
Another thing that impacts the cost of your bus rental is when you are traveling. Some times of year, such as April, May, and June tend to be more expensive for charter buses due to limited bus availability. The increased demand in bus rentals for these months is due to several events and happenings, such as proms, school field trips, wedding ceremonies, bachelor parties, and more. Major events like local festivals and sporting events can also cause a spike in price and lower availability. If your trip happens to be around a major event, demand may increase, making securing a bus rental more difficult and pricier. Always check your city’s event calendar before finalizing your travel dates. It also helps to have your itinerary completely finalized when you call so you won’t be subjected to additional charges for unexpected mileage. And if you don’t find the right bus, our team can put together a custom transportation plan for your needs.
Pricing Based on Location & Availability
If your travel itinerary includes a start point in an area with low availability (usually the case for groups traveling in less-populated areas), pricing can increase. Additionally, if you are trying to book in these areas with short notice, your rate may increase due to less availability.
And speaking of less availability, you may encounter additional fees if your driver has to drive a long distance from their base in order to meet you at your start point. This mileage that accumulates with no passengers onboard is known as “deadhead.” To reduce this cost, try to reserve a bus from a charter bus company that operates near your group’s pickup or dropoff location.
Bus Types, Sizes & Pricing
The most obvious difference that will influence your bus rental cost is what type of bus you’ll need to book, along with what special amenities you need on board. A smaller party bus can typically seat between 10 to 20 passengers, while some of the larger options in our network can accommodate over 40 people. Luxury buses, which may have features like wraparound leather seating, hardwood flooring, and more, will come at a higher price than more standard bus models. And as you can imagine, newer nicer buses will cost more than older models. On newer party buses, you may find additional amenities like Bluetooth speakers, Smart TVs and more that older models don’t always have.
A full-sized motorcoach may be your best choice for long-distance trips, though if you are sticking to short-distance local travels, consider renting a minibus instead. Minibuses usually have lower hourly and daily rates than motorcoaches, but it depends.
How the Day of the Week Affects Pricing
Weekend rentals (Friday, Saturday, Sunday) are generally more expensive than those booked on weekdays (Monday-Thursday). When there’s less demand for bus rentals, like during weekdays (and as long as you aren’t booking around a holiday), you’ll often be charged a lower price. On the other hand, on Friday and Saturday nights when there’s a higher demand for buses—companies usually raise the minimum rental hour limit and charge an increased rate per hour to meet that demand. If your celebration can be rescheduled to a day earlier in the week, consider celebrating Tuesday or Wednesday to get the best rate.
How the Time of Day Affects Pricing
Looking to save a few bucks on your bus rental? Try booking a daytime trip! Because charter buses & party buses are so popular for nights out, weddings, bachelor/ette parties, and concerts—most companies charge higher hourly rates during the evening (past 6pm) to meet the demand. Fridays and Saturday nights are typically when bus companies see the highest volume of requests, so you’re almost guaranteed a higher price when reserving a ride during peak weekend times. Certain days throughout the week, like a Monday or Wednesday afternoon, may even come with a reduced minimum number of rental hours required for your reservation.
Amenities and Pricing
Many amenities, such as WiFi, plush seating, and ADA-accessible features, come standard on each bus model. Other amenities, like onboard restrooms, televisions with DVD players, and electrical outlets might come at an additional charge. Let your reservation specialist know if you’d like to make any specific requests, and we’ll make sure those requests are reflected in your bus quote.
Extra Costs to Keep in Mind
Your quote may not include road tolls, tip and parking fees. Be prepared to pay these out of pocket while traveling, or ask your representative if those can be included when you book. You may also be required to pay for lodging and other accommodations for your driver if your trip will last longer than a day. Please call us to confirm exact pricing.
Saving Money
Want to save a little on your next bus rental? It’s much easier than you might think! Here are a few tips to get the best possible price on your rental!
Have a finalized headcount before you book. Adding people may require a larger bus and increase your cost, and removing people could mean you overpaid for a vehicle that’s too big for your group.
Reduce deadhead mileage by booking a bus that’s already located in the city you are leaving from. (Remember, deadhead refers to mileage that accumulates without passengers.)
Book early, especially during the busy months of April, May, and June.
Reduce the number of hotel rooms you need to book for your driver. Choose a destination city near your start city and reduce the amount of days you need your charter bus rental to avoid additional costs for lodging.
Find venues with easy parking access for oversize vehicles and inquire with your hotel about complimentary parking options for your bus.
