What Are the Factors That Influence Orem Bus Rental Pricing?

There are numerous factors that influence pricing that may be adjusted after getting your initial quote. Pricing is influenced by bus availability, trip duration, pick-up and drop-off locations, and more. Keep in mind that rates may change during your trip. For example, additional mileage may be incurred if you add stops to your itinerary or if you need to change your drop-off location. Additional fees may also need to be incurred for parking or toll fees. Just talk to your reservation team if you need to make a change to your trip plan and they’ll re-calculate your quote.

The Distance and Cost of Your Trip

Orem charter bus rentals are charged either hourly, by the day, or by mileage. Short trips within the Orem city limits that don’t include a lot of stops or don’t extend over a long period of time will typically be charged by the hour, with the amount of time including pick-up, time spent at destinations, and drop-off. The number of hours on your trip will affect your overall cost of renting a bus. Some bus companies require a minimum of four or five hours to book, and if your trip is less than the required minimum time, you’ll be charged for the minimum hours.

Multi-day trips are charged by the day. This is usually for longer excursions like trips to Yellowstone National Park and events like conventions or sports tournaments across the state . Be sure to include overnight lodging for your driver and miscellaneous costs for meals and refreshments while you’re at it.

Trips calculated by the mile are usually for those touring destinations across Utah. To ensure you don’t incur additional fees, make sure that you have all drop-off and pick-up locations specified when discussing your itinerary with your reservation specialist. This will provide the most accurate quote, so you won’t be blindsided by unexpected costs at the end of your Utah tour.

The Time of Year

Pricing is affected by demand, so prices for charter bus rentals and party buses tend to increase during the busy season for events such as weddings, graduations, and sports travel. Spring months in April, May, and June are when most of these events take place, so it’s a good idea to book at least six months in advance for the best possible price point. Prices and availability can also fluctuate around the time of local or state events and festivals in Orem. For example, charter bus prices could increase during the Utah Valley University homecoming events or when the summertime Festival of Colors is held in Spanish Fork, as the demand for motorcoach transportation could increase.

If your trip falls during or around one of these events, you should consider calling as far ahead as possible to get the best price and avoid having to change your trip dates due to sold-out bookings.

Location and Availability

If your travel plans begin outside of Orem or if you are traveling to a distant or small town, prices can increase. Your trip cost will go up, because the bus company needs to account for the cost of getting your bus driver to your starting location before even starting your tour or event. This can also include additional lodging costs for your driver if you need your bus for multiple days.

It can also increase the cost if your charter bus has to travel from somewhere further away in order to meet you at your starting destination. When the driver has to travel to your pickup location with no passengers on board, this is known as “deadhead mileage.” The best way to avoid this mileage is to book a bus that’s already located near your starting destination.

Bus Type and Capacity

The type and size of the vehicle you book will also affect pricing. For example, an 18-passenger minibus rental will likely be cheaper than a 56-passenger charter bus, since the larger charter bus can include more amenities, like an onboard restroom and undercarriage storage space. And if you need something different, such as a party bus rental with a wet bar, mood lighting, and leather wraparound seating or an entertainer bus with bunk beds and a lounge area, your rental price will probably be higher. Your reservation specialist can walk you through all the different options available to rent in the Charter Bus Orem network and discuss the amenities they can offer.

The Day of Your Trip

As we’ve already mentioned, charter bus rental pricing can be more expensive if you are traveling during a peak period like during the summer months or if your trip falls during or around a large state or local event. This is also true for what day of the week you are traveling. Most customers prefer to rent buses for the weekend (Friday, Saturday, Sunday) than during the week (Monday through Thursday). The higher demand for charter buses during the weekend means an increase in rates and less availability of vehicles. If you are booking your Orem charter bus rental for the weekend, it helps to call us as far in advance as possible, ideally six months or more, to get the best selection and rates.

The Time of Your Trip

Just like weekends can lead to increased charter bus rental prices, so can what time of day your bus is running. The demand for vehicles is typically higher after 5:00 p.m., especially on weekends during prom season. The increased use of charter buses for nights out, weddings, private parties and celebrations, and more during the evening mean higher rates. This is also true for school dances like prom and homecoming. Most proms and homecomings take place during the busy months of April, May and June and if your school doesn’t start planning transportation early, you may find it impossible to get a charter bus rental.

If possible, plan your group travels for the morning or afternoon to avoid any price increases or limited options.

The Amenities of Your Charter bus

All charter buses include features that ensure you and your group have a comfortable trip. These features include cushioned and reclining seats, overhead storage, climate controls, and more. You may also request other amenities, such as WiFi and onboard restrooms for larger buses. Just be aware that some additional amenities may increase the cost of your bus rental. Talk with a reservation specialist about amenities available for your Orem charter bus rental, and if you need something specific, they will try their best to find the right bus for you.

Extra Costs You Should Consider

There are some extra costs that may not be included in your estimated bus rental quote, such as costs for parking, road tolls, and your driver’s tip. It’s important to take note of these additional costs when crafting your budget. For overnight stays, you’ll also have to book overnight accommodations for your driver in addition to paying any overtime expenses.

How to Save on Your Trip Cost

Looking to save a little on your next Orem bus rental? Try to reduce the number of hours you’ll need your charter bus by choosing destinations or venues with plenty of convenient parking and easy access. If your driver has to circle the parking lot several times, it will increase the amount of hours you’re billed for. Call hotels, wedding venues, or wherever you are going to check for convenient bus parking options. Most hotels will also have free rooms for drivers when they book group accommodation. Call your hotel and ask about room blocks and bus parking options to reserve with your lodging. Also, ensure the venue has sufficient loading or unloading areas for your charter bus. And lastly, the more passengers you have, the more affordable the cost becomes per person, so pack in as many friends and colleagues as your charter bus can hold!
