Charter Bus Folsom works with many different bus companies across California, 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. Many other factors are taken into account, but here are some of the main ones.
Distance and Duration of Your Trip
Folsom charter bus rentals are priced by the hour, day, or mileage. One-off trips that are shorter and stay local will be calculated by the hour. Most companies have a minimum of 5 hours, but if your journey requires less time on the road, your Charter Bus Folsom representative will work with you. Multi-day trips—such as a week-long family vacation or multi-day trips out of Folsom—are typically charged by the day. If you are traveling for multiple days, but are staying in Folsom (like if you are shuttling guests for a weeklong business conference) your rate will be based on daily charges. Long-distance road trips where you aren’t staying in one spot will be charged by mileage.
Time of Year You Are Traveling
Charter bus rates are affected by seasonality, with some times of the year tending to be more expensive. During busier months, like April, May, and June, you’ll find rates tend to be higher. This is due to limited bus availability, higher demand, and more events. (Think graduations and prom). If your event or trip is flexible, book your charter bus rental during the off-season (January, February, and July).
Bus Availability
If your itinerary includes a start point in an area with low availability, Folsom charter bus pricing can increase. Additionally, if you are trying to book in these areas on short notice, your rate may increase due to less availability. The farther out you book, the better, especially during busy times like summer. This mileage that accumulates with no passengers onboard is known as “deadhead.” To reduce this cost, try to reserve a bus from a company that operates near your group’s pickup or dropoff location. Charter Bus Folsom has a network of more than 5,000 buses, so we can often pair you with the closest bus company to your destinations.
Vehicle Type and Size
You’ll have tons of vehicle options to choose from with Charter Bus Folsom ranging from a 10-passenger sprinter van to large 50-person party buses. Full-size motorcoaches, which can have up to 56 passengers and amenities like restrooms, will likely cost more than minibuses or party buses — and larger party buses will likely cost more than the smaller sizes. Luxury vehicles with premium features like leather seats also tend to have higher rates. If your itinerary requires an on-board restroom or undercarriage for luggage storage, a full-sized motorcoach may be your only option, which will also increase your cost.
Day of the Week
Weekends (Friday, Saturday, and Sunday) are generally more expensive than trips booked Monday through Thursday. When there’s less demand for Folsom bus rentals, like during weekdays, you’ll likely be charged a lower rate. If your itinerary can be flexible, consider having events or trips earlier in the week, which will increase your chances of paying a lower price.
Time of Day
Party buses and charter buses are popular options for events and trips after work or school, so it should come as no surprise that bus rates are often higher in the evening (after 6 p.m.). Most transportation companies also raise their minimum hourly rental time limits and have an increase in price per hour during these peak times to meet the high demand. If your event has no time requirements, try to book a charter bus in the middle of the day.
Bus Amenities and Enhancements
If your group needs any special amenities like a TV monitor with a DVD player, an AUX or Bluetooth-enabled sound system, WiFi connectivity, power outlets, or an onboard restroom (just to name a few!) let your reservation specialist know. These features may increase your total bus rental price.
If anyone in your group has a disability, our ADA-accessible buses have features such as wheelchair lifts, widened aisles, and wheelchair-securement spaces to keep all your passengers comfortable. Luckily for your group, you can reserve a bus with ADA-accessible features at no additional cost, as long as you give our team enough notice.
What are the extra costs?
Your initial bus rental quote will generally only include the base price of the bus, fuel, and the cost of your driver. Anything outside of our control, like toll fees or parking fees and permits (parking at venues isn’t always free), will typically not be included in your quote. Don’t forget to also add in your driver’s tip and hotel costs (if needed for multi-day trips)! Although gratuity is never required, your driver will appreciate a tip of 15-20% the total cost if they have provided exceptional service.
Cost-Saving Tips for a Folsom Charter Bus
Here are a few ways to reduce the cost of your Folsom charter bus rental:
Book in advance. The farther out you book, the more chances you have to book a more affordable bus.
Pick a local transportation provider to avoid deadhead charges, which are fees that accumulate when the bus is moving without passengers. For example, if your group departs from a city with no charter bus companies, your starting location is too far from the nearest bus company, or your bus has to travel more than 50 miles from the last destination on your itinerary before heading back to their company, these are all examples of deadhead mileage.
Confirm your headcount before booking. Choosing a charter bus that can fit every single passenger comfortably is always a good idea, and also makes a big difference when it comes to cost.
