Charter Bus Rental Company Costa Mesa works with different charter bus providers around California, meaning pricing structures can be a bit different between all providers. But on average, charter bus pricing will include the costs of travel time, mileage, and the services of a driver. Party bus pricing usually entails the number of hours you rent a bus for and what special features or amenities you’d like for the bus. Other kinds of pricing structures like weekend vs. weekday rates may apply.
Factors That Influence Trip Distance and Time
For short-distance trips, the charter bus and party bus rental pricing may be calculated by the hour. Longer journeys to Las Vegas or Yosemite National Park are usually quoted per day instead of hourly rates. Additional miles can be added to a quoted rate to include mileage to and from venues across the state during a multiple-day excursion, so make sure your itinerary is complete.
How Time of Year Impacts Bus Costs
Just like resorts and hotels, many bus providers increase pricing during busy travel times. Bus rental pricing will likely be increased in Costa Mesa for holidays like Memorial Day, 4th of July, and other major travel holidays. It helps to get your price quote as early as possible and finalize your itinerary as early as possible before booking.
Impact of Pick-Up Location and Available Buses
Bus rental availability can be limited around Costa Mesa, even during the slow season, but if you contact us early—we can work to find you what you’re looking for. If you’re flexible and your pick-up and drop-off points can change, Charter Bus Rental Company Costa Mesa can try to find you better availability and rates by changing start locations. If a bus has to deadhead between their hub location and your pickup spot, additional miles and fees may be tacked onto your rental quote.
How Bus Types and Sizes Affect Costs
Not all vehicles cost the same amount! When booking your Costa Mesa bus rental, the total price of your rental is greatly impacted by the type of vehicle that is booked — from 56-passenger coach buses costing more than minibuses, and more. And just like booking a car rental, if you want all the fancy features and top-notch bells and whistles on your ride, be sure to make requests for what you’ll need for comfort and convenience. Keep in mind that more high-end party buses and buses with an onboard restroom will usually be more expensive to reserve. Ask your representative about special amenities like extra legroom and ADA accessibility! We have lots of options, even more not listed online. We can provide an ADA-accessible coach to your special events such as prom or wedding without any limitations.
Weekday and Weekend Costs
The cost of renting a charter bus or party bus in Costa Mesa can fluctuate depending on the day of the week. Weekday rentals from Monday to Thursday can often include reduced hourly rates and a lowered minimum rental hour requirement. The party bus and charter bus costs will also be higher when demand is greater for special events such as concerts, sporting events, weddings, proms, or homecomings.
Pricing Fluctuation Based on Time of Day
For those seeking the best bang for their buck when renting a bus, reserving one for daytime hours (before 6 p.m.) is usually an easy way to get a better deal on party buses and charter buses. Most providers charge higher hourly rates in the evening (especially after 6 pm!) since these buses are popularly booked for nights out, but some also reduce the minimum hourly rental requirements when booking for a time earlier in the day.
Extra Bus Amenities and Their Costs
Most providers include WiFi, ample seating space, overhead storage and power outlets for mobile devices as standard amenities, which means they come at no extra charge! You may have to put down an additional deposit if you request to rent additional party-related amenities such as Bluetooth/AUX speakers, karaoke machines, or fiber optic lighting. A larger deposit covers any wear and tear incurred from high party-volume or excessive usage.
Understanding Additional Bus Rental Costs
While we always want to be as clear as possible, your original quote for your trip won’t include everything you’ll be responsible for covering during travel. We strive for price transparency, but here are a few additional things you can expect to pay on top of your Charter Bus Rental Company Costa Mesa quote for your Costa Mesa party or charter bus rental. Costs that are the passenger’s responsibility include tip for drivers, parking permits, entrance tickets to events, food and drinks onboard, etc. — so just keep these all in mind when planning out your budget!
Cost-Saving Strategies
When it comes to renting a charter or party bus, it’s always easy to find ways to reduce costs and get the best possible rates on your trip. Check the times and dates of local events before locking in travel plans. Reserving buses in Costa Mesa around big events and conventions will surely inflate rates and limit availability for larger groups. Call to make your Charter Bus Rental Company Costa Mesa reservation during the work week. Booking your trip on a Tuesday afternoon or Wednesday morning is one way to take advantage of any specials and lowered rental minimums.
