Bus rental prices depend on a few things, such as the type of bus, the time of year, where you’re going, and more. We’ll go over each factor below, with tips to help and things to avoid. In addition to the factors mentioned here, also consider how many people are in your group—the bigger, the better since cost per person decreases with a bigger group. Finally, also think about the time of day you are traveling. The roads tend to be much more crowded between 7 AM–9AM and 4PM–6PM.
Trip Distance and Duration
Bus rental companies charge by the hour, day, or mileage depending on the length of your trip. Short trips, such as those from your hotel to a local event in Sandy, would get billed by the hour. A trip from Sandy to Salt Lake City (about 20 minutes) could be calculated this way, too. Now, if you’re taking a long trip across the state (like a weekend trip from Sandy to Zion National Park), then expect to be charged by the day or mileage. Hourly rates usually start at $90 and can go up to $200+ per hour. A rental for a full day can cost anywhere from $600 to $1,600+, while mileage-based rentals typically cost between $2 to $5 per mile.
Time of Year
Travel costs tend to increase when more people are traveling, such as between Memorial Day and Labor Day. Due to an increase in tourism and family vacations, rates can be up to 25% more expensive during these popular “busy” travel months. For the smallest possible price on bus travel, book between September and March after summer vacation season and before spring break season.
Starting Location
Your location also comes into play when pricing rental services. Costs are often higher in large cities for several reasons, such as an increase in tolls, parking, traffic, and mileage.
Rural towns and counties, on the other hand, are much easier to navigate than areas like Salt Lake City. Additionally, smaller communities tend to have less traffic, and buses will be parked closer to your pick-up and drop-off spots — reducing mileage and costs.
Toll Roads, Parking Fees, and Other Travel Expenses
You’ll be charged for parking permits, and even sometimes HOV/HOT lane fees (high-occupancy vehicle/high occupancy toll lane fees) when renting a bus. These charges may be added to your total fare or you’ll have to pay these fees directly at the venues and parking lots.
Driver Shifts, Hotel, and Gratuity
When booking a bus, you’re also paying for someone else to do the driving. Bus drivers are required by the U.S. Department of Transportation to take an 8-hour break after driving 10 hours. When traveling longer than 10 hours, bus companies must utilize two or more drivers, increasing your trip’s price. Additionally, you may have to pay for the driver’s hotel, meals and per diem (daily accommodation spending allowance), plus a gratuity.
Type of Bus
Prices can depend on the type of bus you reserve, ranging anywhere from bare-bone yellow school buses to luxury entertainer coaches. While choosing a school bus for a class trip makes sense, your attendees may want more amenities.
Peak vs. Off-Peak Travel Times
If traveling during peak traffic times (7 a.m.–9 a.m. and 4 p.m.–6 p.m.) your costs go up since it may take longer for the driver to get to each destination. Additionally, traveling at less crowded times lets your passengers relax and enjoy the scenery without worrying about the driver’s schedule.
Cost Saving Tips To Consider
There are a few ways you can make a bus rental more affordable. First, finalize your itinerary and provide your representative or driver with all relevant information to reduce additional travel time. You can also opt for a round-trip starting in the same location. If your driver starts and ends at the same place, such as at your company’s parking lot, you’ll reduce charges from mileage or driving time.
