What are the Factors Influencing Trenton Bus Rental Pricing?

The cost of your bus rental is dependent on several things and can’t always be calculated without your specific trip information. In order to get a personalized quote from Charter Bus Trenton, you’ll need to gather a few things first: total passenger count, pick-up and drop-off locations with addresses and times, dates of travel, and what amenities you want on board.

Trip Distance and Duration

Charter Bus Trenton offers customized charter bus pricing for your trip, no matter the distance! Local trips around Trenton will usually be priced hourly. For trips out of town or that include multiple days of travel, pricing will be calculated based on mileage or by the day. For example, groups traveling to nearby cities like New Brunswick, Princeton, and Philadelphia, would want a bus rental priced by mileage. However, a corporate group traveling from out of town for a conference will more likely be charged by the day. If your group wants to spend a few days at a regional event, like the annual INKcarceration Music & Tattoo Festival in Mansfield, Ohio, your bus driver may have to be booked for an overnight trip, which can come with a few extra costs such as lodging for your driver. It’s a cost that’s not always thought of.

Time of Year

Charter bus pricing also changes depending on the time of year. Generally, certain times of the year like spring, summer, and around big holidays tend to be pricier due to the higher demand in bus rentals. This also means limited availability for buses. Call as early as possible to the bus and price you want, because buses book fast!

Location and Availability

Availability plays a huge role in the overall pricing of your charter bus, too. If you are traveling to or from an area with low bus availability, it can drive up your price. It also helps to book ahead of time to get the best price possible. If you need a bus at the last minute, the cost may be higher than usual. When you book with Charter Bus Trenton, your reservation specialist will always work with you to find a bus rental with the most optimal combination of pricing and features.

Bus Type and Size

One of the main factors that go into determining your charter bus price is the type of bus and size you rent for your trip, as different models vary in price. For example, if you have a large group of 56 or less, then a full-size charter bus is the most comfortable option. If you only have 20 passengers, it’s best to book a minibus for your trip instead. While mini buses and charter buses offer similar amenities like overhead storage and reclining seats, charter buses offer amenities like a restroom on board and undercarriage storage. However, they may be pricier than minibuses. We also offer various other types of buses like school buses, party buses, sprinter vans, limousines and more.

Day of the Week

Prices are generally lower on weekdays compared to weekends. There is often a higher demand for a bus rental on weekends, which can mean limited availability and an increase in pricing. Booking on a Friday or Saturday night often comes with a raised minimum rental hour limit, meaning your charter bus rental will be more expensive.

Time of Day

Evening hours are generally pricier than daytime. This is because times are typically used for events like dances, weddings, concerts, and other popular events. Booking your event at an earlier time may help you save on your bus rental. Try scheduling a morning company meeting or early afternoon wedding for a lower charter bus price.

Bus Amenities

Each bus rental from Charter Bus Trenton will include standard amenities such as reclining seats, AM/FM radio, overhead storage, and personal climate controls. There is no extra charge to request special amenities such as WiFi and an on-board restroom. We also provide accessibility accommodations to make traveling comfortable for everyone in your group. Charter buses with ADA-compliant features include wheelchair ramps, seating for mobility devices and additional hand railing.

Additional Costs to Consider

Your Charter Bus Trenton charter bus quote may not include certain costs, so be sure to consider how much money your group is planning to spend on travel expenses. These include things such as road tolls, parking fees, your driver’s tip (typically 15-20%), lodging, food and drinks, and event tickets. Our charter bus rental pricing guide is an easy to read tool to better understand charter bus pricing.

Cost-Saving Tips

Need to save some cash while still enjoying premium quality group transportation? We get it, so try these tips to help you get the most bang for your buck with your Trenton bus rental.

Plan your headcount in advance, then stick with your initial estimate. Too few passengers and you might have overpaid for a vehicle that’s too big. Too many passengers will require booking another bus, which will increase your cost.

Reserve a bus from a company based in Trenton, or near your group’s point of departure, in order to cut down on additional mileage without passengers (known as “deadhead” in the industry). Book early, especially if you’re traveling during the busy season.

Plan your route ahead of time, including pickup and drop-off times, to keep on track and ensure your driver arrives early to each stop. Choose a destination city that’s close to your pickup city, or shorten the number of days you need your charter bus to reduce how many hotel rooms you have to book for your driver.

Reserve venues or hotels with parking for large vehicles and ask about complimentary parking when you book your group accommodations.
