Charter Bus Troy works with many different bus companies across Michigan, 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 Itinerary and Length
Troy bus rentals are priced by the hour, day, or mileage, depending on your specific travel plan. One-off trips that are short, 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 Troy charter bus companies require a minimum of five hours. But if your journey requires less time on the road, your Charter Bus Troy representative will work with you to figure something out that meets your schedule and budget.
Group trips and occasions that span multiple days — such as a week-long work retreat at The Henry Ford or a sports tournament that takes several days of driving between Michigan and Ohio — are typically charged by the day. If you’re not traveling over a long distance but your group trip needs transportation locally for multiple days in a row (like shuttling guests between hotels for a wedding weekend), your rate will also likely be based on daily charges. Long-distance road trips where you won’t be staying in one spot for too long will be charged by mileage. To ensure the bus rental pricing quote you receive reflects your itinerary, make sure you have every drop-off and pick-up location planned out, with addresses.
Insider Tip: Don’t forget to factor in additional costs for tolls, overnight lodging for your driver, meals for everyone onboard, and event tickets. It’s always easier to calculate a budget if you’ve written all your projected costs down.
Travel Dates and Seasonality
Another thing that impacts the cost of your bus rental is the time of year you are traveling. Some times of year, such as April, May, and June tend to be more expensive for Troy charter buses due to limited bus availability. The increased demand in bus rentals for these months is due to various events and happenings, such as proms, school field trips, wedding ceremonies, bachelor parties, and more.
If your trip happens to be around a major event or a popular sporting event, demand may increase, making securing a Troy charter bus rental more difficult and pricier. 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. And for easier budgeting, don’t forget to factor in costs like tolls, and overnight lodging for your driver.
Pickup and Dropoff Locations & 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), Troy 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 driver 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.
Insider Tip: Charter Bus Troy has a statewide network of more than 1000+ buses, so we can often pair you with the closest bus company to your destinations to minimize deadhead costs.
Bus Model, Type & Size
The most obvious difference that will influence your bus rental cost is the type of bus you’ll need to book, along with what special amenities you need on board. 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 motorcoaches, but it depends.
Insider Tip: Need to make sure everyone stays comfortable throughout your trip? Request a charter bus with extra legroom! Most buses include about 30-39 inches between the seats, but you can even request additional space for passengers who may need to use a wheelchair or a walker. And for extra fun, consider a party bus rental instead!
Weekday vs. Weekend
Weekend rentals (Friday, Saturday, Sunday) are generally more expensive than those booked on weekdays (Monday-Thursday). When there’s less demand for Troy bus rentals, like during weekdays (and as long as you aren’t booking around an event 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.
Pro Tip: Every high school in the USA holds their prom on Fridays and Saturdays from April to June (and there are more than 27,000 total high schools in the country!). This is the busiest and most expensive time to rent a bus and we very very heavily advise you to book early if you have an event during this time. This will help you get the best rates and avoid running into any sold out dates.
Morning vs. Night
Looking to save a few bucks on your Troy bus rental? Try booking a daytime trip! Because charter buses & 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.
Pro Tip: 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 and Features
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.
