Charter Bus Rental Company New Haven works with several Connecticut charter bus providers to give you the best price and transportation for your next trip. Pricing is typically dependent on different factors that will help determine how much your New Haven bus rental will be.
Factors that Determine Trip Cost and Duration
The duration of your trip, your travel dates, your pickup/dropoff city, and the type of bus you rent will determine what your personalized bus quote will look like. Buses can be booked by the hour, by the day, or per mileage, and the cost of hourly local trips typically run cheaper than multiple day rentals and long-distance charter bus quotes. Most Connecticut party bus companies have a minimum amount of hours that you can rent, but even if your journey is only a couple of hours, your Charter Bus Rental Company New Haven representative will work with you to fit something within your schedule. Discuss your ideal itinerary with a rental expert, and we’ll make sure you have the perfect bus rental quote for your trip!
Time of Year That Affects Pricing (Seasonality)
Along with the cost of your charter bus, you also need to account for additional costs, like hotel and travel expenses if your trip is longer than a day. Discuss your trip plan with a Charter Bus Rental Company New Haven representative to figure out the ideal budget for you and your passengers. Generally, we’d recommend booking your bus between 3 and 6 months before your departure date, although if you’re hoping to travel in April, May, or June, we recommend calling at least 6 to 9 months in advance for the best prices. These months see the highest demand for bus rentals and limited bus availability could drive up prices for your New Haven trip or event.
Locations, Availability and Pricing
When deciding when and where to travel to, consider planning your trip or itinerary around less popular locations with lower demand to ensure the best availability. Or, if your event must take place around high-demand seasons and holidays, be sure to contact us at least six months in advance—that way, you’re sure to be in our bus’s seats when you want.
Bus Types Available and Sizes
Along with having multiple vendors to choose from, Charter Bus Rental Company New Haven also provides various types of buses, each of them available in multiple sizes. Minibuses are perfect for shorter distances and groups with 35 people or fewer, while charter buses accommodate up to 56 and are best for big groups and those traveling long distances like touring Yale or UCONN with your high schoolers. Newer buses and special bus models with premium amenities like leather wraparound seating, hardwood flooring, wet bars, HD monitors, and more tend to be priced slightly higher due to low mileage and premium quality. Luxury buses may start at $300-$350 an hour on weekdays and may go up from there.
Pricing Based on the Day of Your Trip
Weekend bus rentals, including Friday, Saturday, and Sunday travel, tend to cost more than rentals from Monday-Thursday. If your plans require weekend transportation, we recommend calling Charter Bus Rental Company New Haven well in advance—at least six months prior—for optimal pricing and availability. If you can’t choose weekdays and need to book closer to the weekend, we recommend booking as early as possible. Weekend pricing may also increase for certain occasions like holidays.
Time of Day Affects Price of Rentals
Peak party and travel hours fall in the evenings when events happen. Because of high party bus and charter bus demand, evening rental services cost more and may require that you rent for a longer time.
Bus Amenities
On most of Charter Bus Rental Company New Haven’s buses, you’ll find amenities such as air conditioning, comfortable seats and restrooms (in large models) at no additional cost to make your trip a comfortable and efficient journey. Each Charter Bus Rental Company New Haven bus comes with a driver.
Other Trip Costs
Be sure to incorporate the cost of road tolls, overnight lodging for drivers during overnight trips, passenger meals on the road, and gratuity when calculating a budget for your bus trip. In most cases, you’ll have to coordinate and handle these expenses while traveling.
Money-Saving Travel Tips
If you’re traveling with a group on a budget, it’s never a bad thing to save a little on costs here and there, especially if that money is going toward a fun part of the trip. Make sure everyone pays on time and accurately so that there isn’t anyone holding back funds. Also, you don’t want any late additions who don’t pay their share or any last-minute opt-outs, as this will cause unnecessary headaches and extra expenses for your fellow passengers. You’ll also want to avoid additional unexpected stops for food or restroom breaks to keep additional mileage to a minimum. Most venues and convention centers will provide parking areas with ADA accessibility. Always let venues know if you have an ADA-accessible bus rental in your group. And always ask for a free quote before making any firm decisions.
