Charter Bus Flagstaff works with local limo and party bus companies to give you the most accurate, instant quotes based on your travel plans. When you contact our team, we’ll be more than happy to provide you with a free, personalized bus rental quote. When determining the final price of your bus rental, we take several factors into account, a few of which include trip distance, seasonality, bus model and type, time and day of the week, and more.
How Far and How Long Are You Traveling?
The first thing we’ll have to think about when you call to book is where exactly your group will be traveling. Hourly pricing is generally used for trips that begin and end in the same city, aka local trips. Multi-day trips where you are traveling long distances or using the bus for multiple days are typically quoted by day. Your bus driver has to adhere to specific regulations regarding driving hours and rest time. On any given day, your driver is allowed to drive for no more than 10 hours. For every 10 hours they drive, they’re required to take an 8-hour break before they are allowed to start driving again. If you will be on the road for multiple days or traveling a long distance, keep this in mind when planning your itinerary.
Seasonal Changes and Surges in Pricing
Peak tourism season in Arizona, and especially Flagstaff is during the months of April through June, and September through October. These timeframes are when many festivals, conventions, and events take place, resulting in increased bus rental demand and fewer buses being available. You’ll want to call to reserve your charter bus or mini bus as early as possible to get the best price available.
Another factor that may affect availability is when big, local events are going on. For example, events like the Overland Expo West, an annual outdoor trip gathering, take place at Fort Tuthill County Park in Flagstaff every May. If your trip occurs near this event, you’ll definitely want to book early.
Location and Availability
If your trip has you starting in an area with lower bus availability, bus rental pricing can increase. This is usually the case for trips that take you to or from more remote, rural areas. Pricing will change depending on if your trip is a one-way or a round trip. One-way trips may be more expensive than round-trips. To get a better idea of how this affects the pricing on your charter bus, ask your reservation specialist.
What Kind of Bus and Amenities Will You Need?
Naturally, the type of bus you’ll need to book—along with what amenities are on board—will change how much your bus costs. Minibus rentals in Flagstaff cost a little less on average than a full-size bus, and smaller groups may want to consider this if they are looking to save money.
Another bus type to consider is a party bus. These party buses are great for bachelor and bachelorette parties or a fun night out on the town, but their extra amenities (like neon lighting and premium sound systems) cause them to cost about the same as a charter bus.
Day of the Week Changes to Pricing
Did you know that weekends are almost always more expensive than weekdays for booking a limo or bus? That’s because Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays tend to have more events, like weddings, school dances and concerts, than other days of the week. If you’re planning a private event that doesn’t require a specific day like a family reunion, try to have your outing earlier in the week. Not only will this reduce your costs, but also make sure you can get a room at the hotel of your choosing with available bus parking.
Time of Day Changes to Pricing
Like weekdays, daytime rentals during normal business hours generally cost less than evening, night, or weekend rentals. Charter buses and party buses tend to be in their highest demand after 6pm because that’s when events like weddings and nights out on the town typically begin. So, to get a cheaper rate for your trip, plan to leave early in the morning or during the daytime!
Amenities That Influence Bus Rental Costs
Amenities on charter buses such as WiFi, reclinable seats, and ADA accessibility are usually free and are designed to keep your passengers comfortable while on the road. Other amenities like a lavatory, TVs with a DVD player, and power outlets might come at an additional charge. If you want to see what kinds of amenities are available for your trip and how they will affect pricing, give Charter Bus Flagstaff a call at 928-569-4640.
Additional Costs
On top of the cost of your bus, you’ll want to keep other expenses, such as tolls, road parking fees, and driver gratuities in mind. Most charter bus quotes do not include these costs because they vary, and you will need to pay for them at the time of your event. To avoid these extra fees, you can seek venues with ample, free parking and try to avoid routes with toll roads. Don’t forget to tip your driver either. Gratuity isn’t included in your charter bus rental cost, but it’s good etiquette to give a tip to your bus driver at the end of your trip if you are happy with their service.
Cost-Saving Travel Tips
Want to save money on your bus rental cost, while also ensuring a seamless trip? We have some tips for you here. Whether you’re headed to the mountains with a school field trip group or planning an out-of-town sporting event, following some of these tips will make your Flagstaff charter bus more affordable than you thought possible:
Book in advance, especially if your trip is planned for peak season.
Reduce deadhead costs by asking if there’s a bus rental company closer to your pickup and drop-off points.
Make sure you have a finalized headcount before you rent so you don’t need to book a larger bus later.
Book during the day or on a weekday.
Find venues, hotels, or other destinations that offer free parking to your group when you arrive. The Lowell Observatory, for example, has free parking for guests and charter buses. If you can book accommodations at a hotel that has on-site bus parking, you can leave the bus there throughout your group event and avoid downtown parking fees.
