Bus Rental Company Tyler works with many different bus companies across Texas, and each of our partners has slightly different rates. But generally, pricing is determined by whether your group is quoted by the day, hour, or mile based on what kind of travel plan you have in mind. The price per hour is usually only used for local trips that last several hours, while multi-day trips are more often quoted by the day. And there are also special packages like one-ways and round trips that we also offer. Again, this all varies depending on many different factors—now let’s take a look at some of them!
Trip Distance and Duration
Tyler bus rentals are priced by the hour, day, or mileage, depending on your specific travel plan. One-off trips that are short and sweet and don’t leave the city the bus is stationed in (aka local trips) will be likely calculated by the hour. On average, most Tyler charter bus companies require a minimum amount of hours, but if your journey requires less time on the road, your reservation representative will work with you to figure something out that meets your schedule and budget. Trips that span multiple days are typically charged by the day, while long-distance road trips where you won’t be staying in one spot for too long will be charged by mileage.
Time of Year (Seasonality)
Another thing that impacts the cost of your Tyler bus rental is when you are traveling. Some times of the year, such as April, May, June, September, and October tend to be more expensive due to limited bus availability. The increased demand in bus rentals for these months is due to several events and happenings, such as proms, school field trips, wedding ceremonies, bachelor parties, and more. Major events like the Texas Rose Festival can also cause a spike in price and lower availability. If your trip happens to be around a major event or a popular sporting event, demand may increase, making securing a bus rental more difficult and pricier. Always check your city’s event calendar!
Location and Availability
If your travel itinerary includes a start point in an area with low availability (usually the case for groups traveling in less-populated areas), your Tyler bus rental pricing can increase. Additionally, if you are trying to book in these areas with short notice, your rate may increase due to less availability. And speaking of less availability, you may encounter additional fees if your operator has to drive a long distance from their base in order to meet you at your start point. This mileage that accumulates with no passengers onboard is known as “deadhead.” To reduce this cost, try to reserve a bus from a charter bus company that operates near your group’s pickup or dropoff location.
Bus Type and Size
The most obvious difference that will influence your bus rental cost is what type of bus you’ll need to book, along with what special amenities you need on board. And since we have sprinter vans, minibuses, party buses and charter buses, you’ll have lots of options to choose from. A full-sized motorcoach may be your best choice for long-distance trips (since they have luggage compartments and restrooms), though if you are sticking to short-distance local travels, consider renting a minibus instead. Minibuses usually have lower hourly and daily rates than motorcoaches. Regardless, we have an online quote tool that can show you live pricing and availability of all the options available for your date—so comparing the different options is easy!
The Day of the Week
Weekend rentals (Friday, Saturday, Sunday) are generally more expensive than those booked on weekdays (Monday-Thursday). When there’s less demand for bus rentals in Tyler, like during weekdays (and as long as you aren’t booking around a major holiday), you’ll often be charged a lower price. On the other hand, on Friday and Saturday nights when there’s a higher demand for buses—companies usually raise the minimum rental hour limit and charge an increased rate per hour to meet that demand. If your celebration can be rescheduled to a day earlier in the week, consider celebrating on a Tuesday or Wednesday to get the best rate. Prom season is always the busiest time of year, with very little availability.
Time of Day
Looking to save a few bucks on your Tyler bus rental? Try booking a daytime trip! Because charter buses and party buses are so popular for nights out, weddings, bachelor/bachelorette parties, and concerts—most companies charge higher hourly rates during the evening (past 6pm) to meet the demand. Fridays and Saturday nights are typically when bus companies see the highest volume of requests, so you’re almost guaranteed a higher price when reserving a ride during peak weekend times. Certain days throughout the week, like a Monday or Wednesday afternoon, may even come with a reduced minimum number of rental hours required for your reservation. You may not be able to change your schedule for events like a concert, but a trip to a winery could be more affordable in the daytime!
Bus Amenities
Many amenities, such as WiFi, plush seating, and ADA-accessible features, come standard on each bus model. Other amenities, like onboard restrooms, televisions with DVD players, and electrical outlets might come at an additional charge. Let your reservation specialist know if you’d like to make any specific requests, and we’ll make sure those requests are reflected in your bus quote. Some providers even offer discounts if you prepay or book your bus at least six months in advance! Just ask your reservation representative if you qualify! At Bus Rental Company Tyler, we want to make sure you have everything you need for a comfortable and enjoyable trip, and we are happy to work with you to find the perfect amenities.
Additional Costs to Consider
Your quote may not include road tolls, tips, and parking fees. Be prepared to pay these out of pocket while traveling, or ask your representative if those can be included when you book. You may also be required to pay for lodging and other accommodations for your operator if your trip will last longer than a day. It is customary to tip your operator 5-10% of the total rental cost for a job well done. While this is not required, it is a great way to show your appreciation for their hard work. Please call us to confirm exact pricing and any additional costs that may apply to your specific trip, as every rental is unique.
Cost-Saving Tips
Want to save a little on your next bus rental in Tyler? It’s much easier than you might think! Here are a few tips to get the best possible price on your rental. First, have a finalized headcount before you book. Adding people may require a larger bus and increase your cost, and removing people could mean you overpaid for a vehicle that’s too big for your group. Next, book early, especially during the busy months of April, May, and June. Also, try to find venues with easy parking access for oversize vehicles and inquire with your hotel about complimentary parking options for your bus. Finally, be flexible with your dates if possible, as weekday rentals are often cheaper than weekends!
