Charter bus rental costs depend on a few different things. Keep these factors in mind as you budget for your next big Rhode Island trip.
The time of year: As buses are mostly used for school field trips and other similar travel outings, the price of bus rentals will decrease during months school is out.
Trip length: Bus rentals are priced by the hour, day, or distance. For Pawtucket bus rentals, you can expect to pay by the hour. Longer trips, like those with multiple days, may increase in price.
Number of passengers: Buses come in different sizes and passenger capacities, with some fitting 15 passengers versus 55. The larger the bus, the higher the price since there are additional amenities offered and the bus has to pay for fuel. You may be more inclined to rent a smaller bus for a school fundraiser with 30 people rather than spring for a larger 55-passenger charter coach bus.
Trip Length
One of the biggest factors impacting bus rental pricing is how far and how long you’ll be traveling. Typically, buses are rented by the hour, day, or mileage. Most rentals in Pawtucket and around Rhode Island are priced by the hour. It can be similar in price to calling an Uber or Lyft, only for far more passengers!
If you have a longer trip spanning a few days with multiple stops, such as a weekend youth group retreat, you’ll probably pay a higher price. Cross-state trips or trips outside of New England will be priced by the day or mileage.
You can customize your trip, including how many stops you want to take.
Time of Year
Bus rental prices can change with the season. When demand is high, prices increase (and vice versa). The months of April, May and June are more expensive to rent a bus because schools are in session and in need of chartering buses for grade school trips and sporting events.
Weddings and other large events also tend to happen more often during the summer months, so buses tend to be more expensive to account for this demand. On the other hand, January, February and the summer months of July and August are the least expensive to rent a bus since there are fewer school activities and cooler weather.
Your Pick-Up Location
If the bus rental company needs to pick up your group in a city besides the company’s headquarters, your cost will increase. You’ll be charged the extra mileage it takes the bus to travel from the company’s headquarters to your starting location. This “deadhead” cost is usually unavoidable, as it’s meant to compensate drivers and cover fuel usage while they drive.
Deadhead isn’t just for pick-up locations and can also come into play with your drop-off location as well. The further you want to travel by bus, the more you can expect to pay.
Additional Route or Travel Fees
It is highly unlikely that your Pawtucket travels will include highway toll charges. However, it’s something to be aware of when you’re venturing outside of Rhode Island.
Parking permits are another cost to think about, especially if your trip includes destinations like event centers or local sports arenas. It’s best to check with the venue ahead of time to see how much parking will cost (and where you’ll even be able to park a bus.)
Driver Shifts and Their Hotel and Food Costs
Bus drivers must take a break after driving for 10 consecutive hours, so if your trip requires drivers to be on the road for longer than that, you’ll need to pay for more than one driver and cover any additional costs.
Additionally, you will need to cover the cost of a hotel room for your driver.
If you are booking a multi-day trip with stops at restaurants or food venues, you should consider covering your driver’s expenses during these meals.
Lastly, most services include a gratuity for your driver.
The Type and Size of Bus You Rent
Bus Rental Company Pawtucket has buses in all sizes, from compact minibuses that accommodate 15 to 25 passengers to full-size charter buses that fit up to 56 passengers. Obviously, the bigger the bus, the higher the cost. Renting a smaller minibus, compared to its larger charter bus counterpart, can drive savings.
You may also want to take special vehicle requests into account (such as ADA-compliant features, onboard restrooms, or WiFi connectivity) when determining your bus type and size, as costs vary.
When determining what type of bus to use for your group rental, always use the number of passengers, time, and budget to guide your decision-making.
Cost-Saving Tips for Bus Rentals
If saving money or maximizing ROI is top concern, plan ahead to keep costs low. Try limiting your travel time and distance to avoid paying for more than one driver, and park at one location (like a designated hotel) for pick up and drop off times. When traveling, consider staying at a hotel that offers their own parking and shuttle buses.
