Charter Bus Milpitas works with bus rental companies throughout California, and each provider has slightly different rates. But generally, pricing is determined by how long you’re traveling and what type of bus you rent.
Trip Details and Duration of Travel
Milpitas bus rentals are priced by the hour, day, or mileage, depending on your specific travel plan and need. One-off, short, local trips will be calculated by the hour. Most charter bus companies charge a minimum number of hours, but we are happy to work with you to find a custom package that suits your needs and budget! Group trips and occasions that span multiple days—such as a week-long family vacation at Yosemite National Park, or a weekend sports tournament—are typically charged by the day. If you’re not traveling over a long distance but your group trip needs transportation locally for multiple days in a row, like for a multi-day wedding, your rate will likely be based on daily charges.
Long-distance road trips where you won’t be staying in one spot for too long will be charged by mileage. To ensure the bus rental pricing quote you receive reflects your itinerary, make sure you have every drop-off and pick-up location planned out with addresses. This helps us determine the most accurate mileage of your journey. And for transparency, don’t forget to factor in additional costs for tolls, overnight lodging for your driver, and any special event or occasion tickets.
Time of Year for Your Trip
Another thing to consider when looking at the price of a bus rental is when you’re traveling. Some times of year, such as April, May, and June and into the summer tend to be more expensive for Milpitas charter buses due to limited bus availability. More and more groups are looking for buses at this time for graduation parties, prom, and other summer events, so this increases the demand and can lower the availability of bus rentals. If your trip happens to be around a major event or a popular sporting event, demand may increase, making securing a Milpitas charter bus rental more difficult and costly. Always check your city’s event calendar before finalizing your travel dates. It also helps to have your itinerary completely finalized when you call for an instant quote so that you won’t be subjected to additional charges for unexpected mileage down the road.
Pickup & Drop-off locations
If your travel itinerary includes a start point in an area with low availability (usually the case for groups traveling in less-populated areas), Milpitas bus rental pricing can increase. Additionally, if you are trying to book in these areas with short notice, your rate may increase due to less availability.
And speaking of less availability, you may encounter additional fees if your driver has to drive a long distance from their base in order to meet you at your start point. This mileage that accumulates with no passengers onboard is known as “deadhead.” To reduce this cost, try to reserve a bus from a charter bus company that operates near your group’s pickup or dropoff location. Charter Bus Milpitas has a statewide network of charter bus and mini bus rentals, so we can often pair you with the closest bus company to your destinations to minimize deadhead costs.
Bus Model Type and Size
The most obvious difference that will influence your bus rental cost is what type of bus you’ll need to book. Charter Bus Milpitas can provide a variety of vehicles, including mini buses, party buses, sprinter vans, and even charter buses, and each type of vehicle has different pricing. For example, if you rent a charter bus, a full-sized motorcoach may be your best choice for long-distance trips (since they have restrooms/luggage compartments). However, if you are staying local, you might consider renting a mini bus rental or a shuttle bus rental instead! If you rent a party bus, a smaller party bus can typically seat between 10 and 20 passengers, while some of the larger options in our network can accommodate 40 to 50 people. Luxury buses, which may have features like wraparound leather seating, hardwood flooring, and more, will come at a higher price than more standard bus models. If you need a lot of space for large groups, such as for school field trips or groups that have a lot of luggage, a 56-passenger charter bus rental may be best since it offers an onboard restroom and an undercarriage for luggage. However, if you are sticking to short-distance local travels, consider renting a minibus instead. You can rent mini buses from 15-passenger to 35-passenger models depending on your exact needs. Need to make sure everyone stays comfortable throughout your trip? Request a charter bus with extra legroom! Most buses include about 30-39 inches between the seats, but you can even request additional space for passengers who may need to use a wheelchair or a walker.
Day Of The Week For Your Trip
Weekend rentals (Friday, Saturday, Sunday) are generally more expensive than those booked on weekdays (Monday-Thursday). When there’s less demand for Milpitas bus rentals, like during weekdays (and as long as you aren’t booking around a holiday), you’ll often be charged a lower price. On the other hand, on Friday and Saturday nights when there’s a higher demand for buses—companies usually raise the minimum rental hour limit and charge an increased rate per hour to meet that demand. If your celebration can be rescheduled to a day earlier in the week, consider celebrating Tuesday or Wednesday to get the best rate.
Time of The Day For Your Trip
If you are looking to save a few bucks on your Milpitas bus rental, try to book a daytime trip! Most companies charge higher hourly rates during the evening to meet the demand for charter buses for nights out and celebrations. Certain days throughout the week may even come with a reduced minimum number of rental hours required for your reservation. You can find exactly what you’re looking for on our quote tool.
Bus Amenities To Choose From
Many amenities come standard on each bus model. This includes amenities such as free WiFi, climate-controlled cabins, plush seating and more. Other amenities, like an onboard restroom or DVD player, televisions with DVD players, and electrical outlets might come at an additional charge. Let your reservation specialist know if you’d like to make any specific requests, and we’ll make sure those requests are reflected in your bus quote.
Extra Costs To Consider
Your quote won’t include things like road tolls, parking fees, or a driver’s tip (which is typically 10-20% of the total bill). You may also be required to pay for lodging and other accommodations for your driver if your trip will last longer than a day.
Ways To Save Money on Your Trip
Want to save a little on your next Milpitas bus rental? Here are a few tips to get the best possible price on your bus rental. Have a finalized headcount before you book. Adding people may require a larger bus and increase your cost, and removing people could mean you overpaid for a vehicle that’s too big for your group. Reduce deadhead mileage by booking a bus that’s already located in the city you are leaving from. Book early, especially during the busy months of April, May, and June. Reduce the number of hotel rooms you need to book for your driver. Find venues with easy parking access for oversize vehicles.
