What are the Factors Influencing St. George Bus Rental Pricing?

Bus Rental Company St. George works with many different bus companies across Utah, and each provider 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 your group has in mind. The price per hour is usually only used for local trips that last several hours. 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

St. George 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 St. George charter bus companies require a minimum amount of hours, but if your journey requires less time on the road, your Bus Rental Company St. George representative will work with you to figure something out that meets your schedule and budget. Group trips and occasions that span multiple days are typically charged by the day. 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 bus rental is when you are traveling. Some times of year, such as April, May, June, September, and October tend to be more expensive for St. George charter buses 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 local events can also cause a spike in price and lower availability. Always check your city’s event calendar before finalizing your travel dates. It also helps to have your itinerary completely finalized when you call so you won’t be subjected to additional charges for unexpected mileage.

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), St. George charter bus 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 transportation has to travel a long distance from its base in order to meet you at your start point. This mileage that accumulates without 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/restrooms/more), though if you are sticking to short-distance local travels, consider renting a minibus instead. Minibuses usually have lower hourly and daily rates than St. George motorcoaches, but it depends. Newer, nicer buses will cost more than older models. On newer party buses, you may find additional amenities like Bluetooth speakers, Smart TVs and more that older models don’t always have.

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 St. George bus rentals, like during weekdays (and as long as you aren’t booking around a local game day or a 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 Tuesday or Wednesday to get the best rate. Every high school in the USA holds their prom on Fridays and Saturdays from April to June. This is the busiest and most expensive time to rent a bus.

Time of Day

Looking to save a few bucks on your St. George bus rental? Try booking a daytime trip! Because charter buses and party buses are so popular for nights out, weddings, bachelor/ette 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 to get a cheaper rate for events like a concert or a sporting event with set times—but an outing to a winery or birthday trip 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 offer discounts if you prepay or book your bus at least six months in advance! Just ask your Bus Rental Company St. George representative if you qualify! Your quote may not include road tolls, tip 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.

Cost-Saving Tips to Consider

Want to save a little on your next St. George bus rental? It’s much easier than you might think! Here are a few tips to get the best possible price on your rental! 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. Reduce deadhead mileage by booking a bus that’s already located in the city you are leaving from. Book early, especially during the busy months of April, May, and June. Choose a destination city near your start city and reduce the amount of days you need your charter bus rental to avoid additional lodging costs.
