There’s more to pricing than just choosing an 18-passenger minibus with or without a bathroom. We use several things to help you get the best price and experience possible, whether you’re looking for a charter bus rental in Saint Paul or a Coon Rapids mini bus rental from one of the companies in our network. Our factors include mileage, time of year, pick-up location, driver accommodations, and additional fees, and these can all affect pricing.
Distance
Bus Rental Company Plymouth works with bus companies operating locally in Plymouth and near Detroit and across the state, and even in other states like Ohio to find you the perfect vehicle. How far you’re traveling is one of the most important factors. A quick trip to the airport will cost a lot less than a journey to Ann Arbor lasting multiple days. Additionally, if your trip starts or ends outside of Plymouth,—Say you need a bus rental to Eden Prairie—you’ll be charged for the extra miles it takes your bus to get to that spot and then return to Plymouth. We call this “deadhead,” and the price of it depends on how far your group is traveling and traffic.
Time of Year
Prices depend on demand. Holidays, graduations, and major events, like Detroit’s Movement festival, will likely have inflated prices because there are more customers looking for rentals and fewer buses available.
This peak season tends to occur in the Spring and Summer when school is out, and there’s good weather. Companies often book fewer buses for private events and organizations during Michigan’s cold winters. Now that you know this, the best time to book a bus is in the winter and fall — when demand is less than supply, and prices drop accordingly. Another tip is to book your bus at least six months in advance if you want the best rate.
Pick-Up Location
If your group is coming from several locations, there will likely be a price increase due to the extra time and distance between pick-up locations. A small bump might happen for two locations only a few miles from each other. A larger increase can happen for longer distances. For example, a price increase is likely if your staff needs to be picked up at their homes from several suburbs in and around Plymouth, including Canton and Northville.
Driver Accommodations and Additional Fees
Bus drivers are generally limited by how often and how long they can drive in a day. According to federal regulation, drivers are required to take an eight-hour break after being on the clock for more than 10 consecutive hours, and a single driver is not allowed to drive more than 60 hours over seven days or 70 hours over eight days. So it is required that we hire an additional driver for an hourly rate for itineraries that exceed a 10-hour time frame and these costs will be calculated into your quote. It can add a few hundred dollars to your rental, but with your group’s comfort in mind. It’s worth it for peace of mind.
If your driver will be away overnight or for multiple days, hotel accommodations must be factored in. It is possible to lower these costs by negotiating with your hotel when booking group blocks. Parking fees and tolls will depend on the venues and roads in your itinerary. Some venues and private lots have special parking permits that vary depending on location, vehicle type, and event type.
Type of Bus
The type of vehicle you select will influence your total price, and there are a few different factors to consider. How many seats do you need? What extra amenities are you looking for? Does any member require ADA features?
Renting a bus for local trips vs. traveling multiple days will affect what you need. If you are a wedding party touring a few venues, you likely won’t require the same bus type as colleagues on a business trip and may even consider a Chrysler 300 or another luxury sedan rather than a coach bus.
The number of passengers on your rental will affect your rate as well. When choosing a bus for your needs, it’s important to think about the total number of people you’ll need to transport to find the perfect match. For example, your family reunion with 60+ attendees likely won’t fit in the same bus as your team of 30 employees.
Cost-Saving Tips to Consider
Worried about breaking the bank while you search for the right bus? There are some ways you can save money while still getting the best bus for your next trip. Save money by choosing a bus in your pick-up/drop-off location so there’s zero additional costs. Also, aim to pack as many seats as possible in a single vehicle rather than renting multiple minibuses or full-size charter buses to reduce costs.
Some hotels give discounted or free room rates to bus drivers of large travel groups and businesses. You and your bus driver can save by reducing the cost of accommodation for events lasting overnight or multiple days. Check for similar discounts and deals for parking at venues. It’s possible to reduce costs if you pre-purchase or submit requests for group rates in advance. As parking permits tend to be expensive, especially for locations in crowded city centers. Booking early gives you more options and will likely save you money.
