Charter Bus Frederick partners with multiple Maryland bus companies, each with different rates. Pricing usually depends on if you are quoted by the day, hour, or mile based on your trip needs. Several factors impact your personalized quote.
Trip Distance and Duration
Bus rental rates vary based on how far you’re traveling and how long your trip is. Short, local trips are usually calculated by the hour, with many Frederick charter bus companies requiring a 5-hour minimum. Multi-day trips spanning longer distances are usually billed by the day or mileage. To ensure your quote is accurate, finalize your itinerary with all pick-up and drop-off locations before you call.
Time of Year (Seasonality)
Bus availability can get a little dicey around busy months like April, May, and June due to big events like graduations and weddings. This can impact charter bus pricing, as prices may increase when buses are in high demand. Always check local event calendars to ensure you are booking outside of large events if possible.
Location and Availability
Booking a bus rental from a remote location with less availability may also affect pricing. Rates can also be higher if you book on short notice, especially during busier months. If your driver has to travel a long distance to meet your group, you’ll also be charged extra mileage.
Bus Type and Size
The type of bus you need will be the biggest influence on price. If you’re traveling with 10 or 15 people, a smaller sprinter van will cost less than a full-sized charter bus. However, some charter buses are required to have specific features like an onboard restroom and storage space, which can make larger charter buses a must. Just contact us if you have questions.
The Day of the Week
On average, charter and party bus weekend rentals are more expensive than weekday ones. Fridays and Saturdays usually see a higher demand for bus rentals, especially after 6 p.m., so many bus companies will charge a higher rate per hour during this time.
Time of Day
Similar to days of the week, time of day affects the price of your bus rental, with early morning through midday rentals usually costing less than afternoon or evening trips. If your event or trip can be adjusted to take place during the day, you may find cheaper rates during off-peak hours.
Amenities for Your Rental Bus
Many amenities like overhead storage, WiFi, and a PA system are included in your bus, regardless of what kind of bus you rent. However, you may want to add premium amenities like TVs with DVD players, additional bathrooms, and leather seating. Some requests may come at an added cost, but your representative can confirm this when you call.
Additional Costs to Consider
Your price quote will not cover parking fees, road tolls, tips for your driver, food and drink, and hotel costs for overnight or out-of-town trips. When planning your budget, add all of these items, plus a 10%-20% driver tip to make sure you aren’t breaking the bank.
Cost-Saving Tips for Charter Buses
Want to keep charter bus costs down? There are a few tricks to getting the lowest rate for your trip. Try to plan your trip outside of busy times such as April-June or when major events are taking place, and make sure you book at least six months in advance. Reduce the deadhead mileage (miles traveled without passengers) by finding a bus company close to your pickup location. Choosing the correct bus size for your passengers can also make a difference in cost—too many seats and you’ll overpay, too few seats and you’ll likely have to make a last-minute switch-up.
