Several factors go into figuring out the price of your bus rental. For starters, are you traveling just a few hours around Kissimmee, or taking a trip to a theme park in Orlando? Or are you renting a bus to Miami for your bachelor party? Here’s an overview of how distance, time, and type of bus affect charter bus rental pricing.
Trip Distance and Duration
How long you’ll be on the road can directly affect your total bus rental cost, especially when choosing between hourly and daily bus rental rates. Shorter trips, such as a shuttle service to Disney World that takes no longer than a few hours or transporting your wedding guests between hotels and the reception, are quoted by the hour. When booking an hourly bus rental, there’s usually a minimum rental time to keep in mind – around four hours on average. But Kissimmee Charter Bus can work with you to figure out the best solution for your group if your itinerary requires fewer hours on the road. Larger events that span several days, such as academic trips or large company outings, are usually calculated by a daily rental cost. Multi-day rentals can include overnight accommodations for drivers at no additional cost.
Booking your bus for a long-distance road trip? Rates will depend on how far you travel. These road trip adventures are often calculated per-mile, based on gas costs and driver expenses. For instance, if you are making a long-distance journey from Kissimmee to Miami for a night of bar-hopping or to catch a game at Hard Rock Stadium, your rate will likely be determined based on the mileage your bus travels. It’s always best to have a concrete itinerary ready before booking in order to ensure the most accurate cost possible.
Time of Year (Seasonality)
Kissimmee, as a major tourist destination in Florida, sees tons of large events each year, from sporting events and concerts to amusement parks. Peak seasons vary by event location, but as a general rule, you’ll find higher demand and limited availability in spring and summer when kids are out of school, from late September to November (aka the tail end of hurricane season in Florida), and during holidays. Popular dates include weekends around Halloween, Valentine’s Day, and New Year’s Eve. Busy seasons often come with an increase in pricing and may require booking up to a year in advance for events that fall during a peak travel period like New Year’s Eve or Valentine’s Day.
Location and Availability
The availability of your pickup location can directly affect how much you pay for a charter bus rental. If you are booking in a small, sparsely populated city or rural location, you may have less options and as a result, your cost may increase to accommodate the bus traveling to you.
This is known as deadhead mileage. Deadhead is mileage that’s added onto the beginning or end of a trip due to a driver needing to get from a dispatch garage to a passenger pick-up point or back to the garage from a passenger drop-off point. If the location of your trip or event doesn’t have a large network of local charter bus companies or local drivers, be prepared to encounter extra costs related to this.
If possible, have a designated pick-up spot that is closer to a charter bus company’s depot or find a venue for your event with easy access to parking and roadways for oversized vehicles like charter bus rentals. This will also help you save on costs related to hourly rates and parking passes.
Bus Type and Size
What type of bus you need to book can make a big difference in price. For example, full-size coach buses will be more expensive to rent because of their size. Charter buses are equipped for long distance travel, offering onboard restrooms, luggage bays, and more. And when a bus can accommodate up to 56 passengers, it comes with additional fuel costs. These add up to an hourly rate that can sometimes cost as much as $100 more than minibuses.
When you are trying to save money on your charter bus rental, try to find a vehicle that best matches your group size without being too small or too large. Don’t feel stressed out about figuring out which bus to rent if you are not familiar with the nuances. At Kissimmee Charter Bus, we always provide tailored travel plans, and we’ll be sure you are matched with the best bus for your trip.
The Day of the Week
Weekday rentals for charter buses in Kissimmee are more likely to be cheaper than weekend rentals because there is less demand for charter buses during the week (especially during off-season). On the other hand, a charter bus rental in a major metropolitan area such as Chicago or New York City could have an increased price point on weekdays due to regular commuter demands for the bus. These buses are often booked for shuttle service to events or as recurring employee shuttles to companies. However, the weekend tends to have an increased bus rental demand throughout Florida and will also likely be more expensive for buses.
Another reason for the weekend rates to be higher for your charter bus? You’re also more likely to experience rush-hour traffic on Thursday and Friday afternoons, as well as on Monday mornings. If possible, plan to travel on a Tuesday, Wednesday or even Saturday. This will save you time as you dodge the gridlock of rush hour commutes.
Time of Day
Booking a charter bus in Kissimmee for a night out on the town will typically be more expensive than booking for a daytime trip to nearby attractions. On Fridays and Saturdays, the cost for booking a charter bus is at its peak due to events such as wedding, sporting events, concerts, and general nights out. Prices also typically go up past 6pm as demand increases. The cheapest time to book will be weekdays in the daytime.
If you’re scheduling an overnight trip or booking during a peak season like prom or a holiday, a charter bus can increase in price because it also incurs additional driver and bus costs. Make sure you call Kissimmee Charter Bus and finalize your event date with us as far out in advance as you can, so that you will be able to receive the best rate on your bus rental. And remember—no matter what kind of trip you’re planning, our reservation specialists at 407-593-6615 are always available to assist you.
Bus Amenities
Every charter bus or minibus will be decked out with the latest upgrades. For those longer trips to Tampa or even a day out at a theme park, we recommend you check your itinerary and decide which bus amenities your guests may want. Most full-size charter buses come with onboard restrooms and luggage storage as standard features, while minibuses generally won’t include them. But you can still reserve a larger minibus model or pay an additional fee for an onboard restroom on certain minibuses. This will make your trip to nearby Florida cities easier!
Some of the more basic features a charter bus includes are reclining seats, climate control, PA system, and AM/FM radio. For an extra fee, you can often also add a DVD player, televisions, WiFi access, power outlets and USB ports, cup holders, and a variety of other options depending on your chosen model. Each charter bus has slightly different packages and available add-on features. When you call Kissimmee Charter Bus for your rental, we can walk you through your charter bus options. Just tell us what you want and need, and our reservation specialist will do their best to fulfill those requests!
Additional Costs to Consider
As you book your bus rental in Kissimmee, we will provide you with a full breakdown of the cost, or extra costs. The Kissimmee Charter Bus team only includes the price of your bus and the bus driver’s services. For overnight trips and extended events, you may want to also consider the following additional costs:
- Parking fees
- Road tolls (if you’ll be traveling on a toll road)
- Overnight hotel accommodations for your driver(s)
- Meals for your group and driver
- Entrance fees (theme parks, stadiums, museums)
These costs will depend on the locations on your itinerary. For example, a parking pass at Walt Disney World will be more expensive than parking in a lot at SeaWorld Orlando. Check out costs for events, tickets, and parking as you build your itinerary. Once you know your group’s final cost for the event, it’ll be easier to organize your overall trip budget.
Cost-Saving Tips
When planning your trip to Kissimmee, we want to make sure you’re having fun and getting the best deal possible, which is why we’ve compiled some of our best cost-saving tips to ensure that you get a smooth ride at a great rate.
Get a good estimate by knowing these time factors:
Avoid booking around major events or sporting events. Demand for buses will be at its peak around popular events and holidays. If your celebration can be scheduled to take place at another time or on a different day, do that! For instance, try celebrating a birthday on a weekend other than Labor Day weekend or try throwing a company party in February.
Consider traveling during off-season months. Booking your charter bus in the off-season can help save you money, as companies have a lower demand during those times. In Florida, off-season months for tourist attractions are September to November. This changes a little for college events, though. The months of June and July—when schools are generally out of session—are also considered off-season for campus transportation.
Reduce deadhead mileage by booking a bus that’s already located in Kissimmee. (Remember, deadhead refers to mileage that accumulates without passengers. This extra mileage comes with the additional costs of gas, driver time and bus wear-and-tear. To minimize this expense, book your charter bus through a company that operates in the same area as your pickup location—which shouldn’t be a problem when you rent a bus through Kissimmee Charter Bus!)
Rent a charter bus that accommodates your group perfectly. Don’t book a bus that is too big or too small, as this will cause you to pay more for unnecessary seating or have your group split among multiple buses. Your Kissimmee Charter Bus reservation specialist will work with you to ensure that you rent a charter bus that accommodates your entire group comfortably.
Tip: Get the best possible bus rental price by booking at least six months to your trip! This is especially true for traveling around holidays or big events.
