What Factors Influence Brandon Bus Rental Pricing?

The biggest price determinant is the pricing plan you’re offered when you call. Whether your group gets a price by day, by hour, or by mileage will impact how the pricing is determined and how much you’ll pay.

What Impacts Trip Costs?

Whether your charter bus cost is calculated by the hour, by the day, or by mileage is based on what kind of trip or event you’re planning. Short, sweet and to-the-point trips in and around Brandon will be quoted by the hour. Multi-day events are usually charged by the day, while long-distance trips tend to be quoted by mileage. There may also be certain packages like one-ways or two day trip rentals — just contact us to learn more!

How Does Time of Year Impact Costs?

Peak event times like school dances, sporting events, graduations and wedding can be super busy — and often means there are less buses available which causes prices to go up slightly. We encourage you to reserve your bus as early as you can — ideally six months before your trip is scheduled to start — if you plan on traveling during peak season for these major events, and closer to three months ahead of time if your trip dates fall during a less busy part of the year.

Finding the Best Location and Availability

Availability matters, because when fewer buses are available at your start city or end point, you may be charged an additional cost. You may also encounter extra fees if a driver needs to travel a long distance to meet you. We recommend you book with a charter bus company nearby to cut down on this deadhead mileage!

Which Bus Should I Book?

Choosing the right type of bus will depend on the specifics of your group trip, from how many people are tagging along to what type of event or excursion is filling up your itinerary. Our 10 to 50 passenger party buses are ideal for fun-filled celebrations, like a wild and memorable bachelor or bachelorette party to keep the group together while bar-hopping along Ybor City, and most come with amazing features like bar areas, lounge-style seating, Bluetooth/AUX hookups for your playlists, laser lights and much more. You can also opt for the fan-favorite 18 to 35-passenger minibus rental to shuttle your wedding party between destinations on the big day and skip parking. Both options make exploring Brandon a stress-free affair.

We also offer full-sized, coach-style charter bus rentals to help large groups transport comfortably. These larger vehicles also include an on-board restroom and even luggage compartments for long-distance adventures to Disney or a baseball game down south to cheer on the Marlins. Larger buses accommodate groups of up to 56 passengers with ease, while our minibus rentals are ideal for up to 35 passengers each.

How Does Day of the Week Impact Price?

Weekend demand is always going to be greater—with bachelor(ette) parties and weddings galore filling our schedule—so buses booked Friday, Saturday, and Sunday will almost always be priced at a higher rate than similar bus rentals booked Monday through Thursday. In most cases, you can expect lower prices on weekdays if there isn’t a major event or high demand happening nearby.

Planning Around Time of Day

While most charter bus services and bus companies charge by the hour, by the day, or by the mile—some may incorporate time of day into how rates are assessed. A party bus at night will almost always be a higher cost, as they’re popular for nights out and bar-hopping. Reserving your charter bus or minibus shuttle earlier in the day or in the afternoon could potentially help you save a few bucks on your bus rental costs.

What Bus Amenities Are Available?

While every bus rental will come standard with a bus driver and amenities for climate-controlled cabins, features like free WiFi and reclining seats for added comfort and overhead storage racks may also available as standard amenities. If you have something else in mind, like an onboard restroom or PA system, or a particular seating arrangement to keep passengers together—just let us know! Each additional feature can impact your final quote, so ask about your additional amenity needs when you call.

Planning for Additional Costs

Toll fees and parking aren’t always included in your initial quote and you should plan to cover any fees like this while on the road, especially if you’re crossing the bridge into Tampa or St. Petersburg during peak tourist seasons.

And if your bus driver happens to stay with your group overnight, you’ll also want to cover their meals and hotel accommodations to help ensure they can feel comfortable while on the road. We highly recommend that our customers include additional expenses like these while creating a budget for their group trip, as well as be ready for those fees while traveling with your bus!

Cost-Saving Tips for Charter Bus Rentals

When reserving your bus, always be honest about the number of travelers and make sure you have a firm number before reserving a charter bus or minibus rental. Having extra passengers may mean that you have to rent a larger bus than you need. Or if you don’t have enough passengers, you could end up paying for seats that are unused!

Another tip is to avoid picking up passengers where another bus company might already be. Picking up a party bus in a city with low demand might mean that a driver will have to travel extra miles, adding deadhead to your tab. The easiest way to avoid this is by calling Charter Bus Rental Company Brandon for a party bus rental in nearby major cities. Our huge network covers more than 20,000 US cities.
