The cost of a Tacoma charter bus rental is determined by many factors specific to the needs and transportation requests of each group or event. A Bus Rental Company Tacoma representative will explain pricing based on when you’re traveling, how long you’ll need a bus rental, and which type of vehicle will best meet your needs.
Trip Details
Bus Rental Company Tacoma can handle trips of any distance! Pricing depends on whether you rent by the mile, hour, or day. For example, short, local trips around Tacoma will be quoted per hour, with most starting at a five-hour minimum, while multi-day trips are typically charged by the day. Long-distance travels across Washington state, between states or multiple cities will most likely be charged per mile. Need a personalized itinerary? No problem! Just let our team know.
Seasonal Costs
Bus rental rates vary based on factors such as the time of year and availability. Spring or summertime events and outings coincide with times when charter bus demand is extremely high, and that generally coincides with when the costs of bus rentals go up. This means that you’ll often see higher pricing during months like June and July. This is something to keep in mind when planning your event around a wedding, field trip, or large festival like Taste of Tacoma or summer music festivals. If you’re flexible on scheduling, you can look for off-season travel dates, or even weekdays as opposed to weekends, so you’ll have a better chance of booking in a less expensive period.
Where You Are Booking
We offer service in every single city in the state—so if you need to find Burien minibus rentals, are booking charter bus travel in Lacey, or live in Lakewood and need a lift, we can offer an estimated, personalized quote within minutes. Finding a vehicle in a smaller, or less congested area can sometimes be challenging because these locations have a lower density of available buses, but that doesn’t mean it’s impossible. If you try to book a bus or limo last-minute, you also might have less options and more expensive rates. As a general rule of thumb, call early to get the best bang for your buck.
Vehicle Type and Count
The most important factor affecting the pricing of your bus rental is which type of bus you need. The buses in our network can come in multiple sizes, seating up to 56 passengers in a standard-sized charter bus or between 18 and 35 passengers on minibuses. If you’re looking to rent something smaller, we can arrange a sprinter van for trips like your wedding or prom or a weekend getaway with friends to a nearby winery. Larger groups would benefit from renting one of the full-size charter buses, while smaller groups or groups that need something quick will be best suited to one of our smaller-sized vehicles.
Rental by Weekday
Another factor impacting what you’ll pay depends on the day of the week. Because Friday and Saturday tend to be the busiest for events and outings, you’ll often see an increased per hour or even increased daily pricing, making your charter bus rental or other bus rental service more expensive. Certain days and times may come with a required minimum number of hours to hire your bus, which means your trip may take up more time than you’d thought.
Price Determined by Time
If your business needs corporate event shuttles or employee commuter transportation, you’ll want to consider booking earlier-in-the-day for more affordable pricing. Since events like proms, homecomings, and concerts typically happen around or after normal business hours, most transportation providers see a higher demand for their services. Because of the elevated需求 , you can expect higher hourly rates.
Features and Amenities
Bus Rental Company Tacoma offers a wide variety of amenities in order to make sure your trip is as comfortable and enjoyable as it can be! Buses can have leather or cloth seats and much more, and can be equipped with premium amenities such as reclining seats and WiFi, and larger buses can include onboard restrooms and undercarriage storage as well. Certain amenities come with an upcharge, like for example an onboard restroom, while others (like Wi-Fi) are already included.
Additional Fees
On top of paying for the bus rental, you’ll also be responsible for fees such as driver gratuity, tolls, and parking at sites and venues. While most services include road tolls and parking permits in your charter bus rental quote, you’ll need to tip your driver at the end of your trip after they’ve done a great job of getting your group everywhere on time, comfortably. Your driver will also appreciate it! Driver gratuity isn’t often added to the quote, so remember to budget at least 10-20% for this fee.
How to Save
With all of the factors affecting the pricing of bus rentals, you may be wondering how to make your trip more affordable. Here are a few tips, but be sure to call or just use our quote tool to get pricing instantly:
- Be flexible with your itinerary to avoid busy travel dates. If possible, book your trip during the week instead of the weekend, and even consider scheduling during the workday or at a time before or after peak traffic.
- Book in an area near you. Or at the very least, look into whether meeting your bus rental at a more populated spot could lower your rate. By choosing to meet your bus rental at a more central spot, you can avoid additional charges for your driver’s travel time and fuel. You can also coordinate with your driver at no additional cost to set up different pick up points, depending on your group’s needs.
- Use one larger vehicle instead of multiple vehicles, since that will be more cost-effective. For example, for a group of 60 people, renting one charter bus that holds 56 people would be cheaper than renting two 30-passenger minibuses, or multiple sprinter vans.
- Negotiate with your hotels and venues to see if any parking and lodging fees can be waived at your group’s overnight stops.
