Pricing isn’t always the easiest to navigate—but we’re here to help! Charter Bus Rental Company Elizabeth works with many different charter bus providers across New Jersey, with each one setting its rates. How your group will pay often comes down to if you want your quote by day, by hour, or mileage and it’s calculated by where your group is going and how long the bus ride there will be.
How Far and How Long Is Your Trip?
Hourly prices are better for groups who will need their buses just for a couple of hours like if you’re doing a shuttle for an event to a couple venues right in town. Rates based on a full day of service are ideal for groups who will use their ride for several hours during the course of a day or maybe even multiple days (such as multi-day corporate events and sporting tournaments). Prices based on the total distance or mileage traveled are suitable when trips span multiple cities and passengers aren’t staying put. And if your itinerary takes you outside of Elizabeth and New Jersey — no worries at all! We’ve also worked with clients to transport groups into nearby cities like New York City and Philadelphia.
Time of Year for Your Trip
Elizabeth charter bus rentals vary in cost based on time of year, just like that. The months of April, May, and June are some of our busiest periods, resulting in limited availability, which may translate to higher pricing for your Elizabeth bus rental! This increased demand for bus rentals in the warmer, fairer-weather months is generally due to an increase in graduations, private celebrations like parties and weddings, youth sports tournaments, and more.
Supply and Demand in Your City
Bus rentals in Elizabeth may see a surge in price, or an uptick in demand during busy periods, such as high-volume tourism or special holidays like Memorial Day, Labor Day, Fourth of July, St. Patrick’s Day, or any of those calendar events. Demand for private ground transportation may even change if there is a big event going on such as the NY/NJ Super Bowl, the Grammys, the VMAs or anything in between. Big events, especially for larger or more high-profile gatherings may limit transportation availability in your region or increase your bus rental price. It never hurts to look at a calendar of local events and go from there. Your Charter Bus Rental Company Elizabeth representative can definitely help with that!
Bus Model and Size
It goes without saying that pricing is going to vary based on the type and size of bus you book with us. A party bus or large charter bus is the right size for groups, long-distance or out-of-state travel. If you are looking to minimize the price point of your group transportation package, consider booking a minibus rental. A party bus may cost more per hour or per day compared to other vehicle options like the mini bus or the charter bus, and if a newer party bus has premium amenities like an improved sound system, Bluetooth connection for your playlist, and an LED light show, the price may increase.
Day of the Week When You Travel
On high-volume weekends (particularly Fridays and Saturdays), bus providers often charge a little bit more per hour compared to daytime travels during the week (Sunday through Thursday). They do this to maintain and accommodate the high amount of transportation requests they receive — but Charter Bus Rental Company Elizabeth is here to make the experience easier with 30-second quotes and a great team of reservation agents! Plus we have tons of more options you can’t find anywhere else! On peak Fridays, Saturdays or even prom/homecoming (which most US high schools hold their dances on weekends from April-June) companies often need to increase the hourly rate of their rentals. Some also need to change their minimum hourly requirements to make more room for everyone, and we definitely recommend calling 3-6 months in advance to make sure you don’t run into any roadblocks.
What Time of Day Will Your Trip Begin?
If you want to lower the cost of your trip and make sure your budget is planned out perfectly, consider traveling in the daytime! Since buses and party buses are popular picks for late-night happenings such as clubbing, parties, and sporting events or for night out of towns, your hourly rental rates may cost a little more during the evening to meet the high demand. We’ve even heard some party bus rental companies raise their minimum hourly rentals on some peak days, but Charter Bus Rental Company Elizabeth makes it so easy to see instant availability and pricing on our quote tool! If you’re looking for transportation and can switch up your itinerary for a morning or daytime activity like a wine tour instead of a night club hop—you’ll likely get a better rate. Some companies even lower their minimum rental rates on week days so it pays to be flexible if you can!
Charter Bus Rental Amenities
Charter buses and minibuses come with a bunch of amenities, free of charge! You get to decide which amenities you’d want for your next trip! TV screens and a DVD player and a WiFi hotspot may also be included depending on the make, model, and size of bus you select with our reservation specialist! Be sure to let us know which features are important to keep you comfortable on the road—like reclining seats, undercarriage storage, onboard restrooms, and more! Rest assured your charter bus quotes will always include the small comforts that make any group trip a breeze and will be reflected in your quote.
Projected Additional Trip Costs
Your 30-second quote can include any additional expenses such as fees, tolls and the tip for your bus driver. That said, Charter Bus Rental Company Elizabeth may not include event tickets, snacks, drinks, or hotel rooms for overnight stays. Be sure to let your rep know about what costs and fees are/aren’t included so there won’t be any extra charges or overspending, just like that! Plus, our reservations team can give you a breakdown of what your charter bus or mini bus rental includes when you book a bus through us!
A Few Cost-Saving Tips
Want to save money on your Elizabeth charter bus rentals, minibuses, or party buses? Our customer care team is here to provide some of the best tips to keep your group travel as stress free and smooth as possible! Just follow the steps we’ve outlined here to keep your ride as comfy and on budget as you’d like:
- Get everyone together at once: Plan out your headcount well in advance, or at least a couple of weeks before your event. This way, you can ensure your passengers won’t pay too much by reserving a bus rental that’s too small. The opposite of this is that if you get something much too large, that will also cost more money!
- Plan for where to get dropped off and picked up: If you’re able to avoid getting dropped off in the city center, you’ll likely avoid paying more money! Since bus traffic can be hard to deal with, plan to be dropped off somewhere less crowded and within walking distance of your spot. (Plus, getting to enjoy a walking tour on a fair day might help everyone see more of your city!)
- Reserve ahead of time. Reserving your bus well in advance will ensure your rates stay low and we are able to find the bus that fits you at the best price point! The closer you are to an event or trip, especially one in busy summer and spring months or for major holidays like Labor Day and Memorial Day the less availability may be there and higher prices.
- Pay for your driver’s lodging and expenses. To avoid being hit with a fee after your trip, reserve their lodging needs beforehand with the help of our reservations team, who can help you hash out a budget for each driver’s hotel/meal costs and even parking!
