Charter Bus Santa Clarita has a huge network of charter bus companies we partner with throughout California, and each provider will determine charter bus pricing a little differently. Here are some of the top factors to keep in mind before calling us or using our quote tool.
Your Trip Itinerary
Your total bus rental costs are often influenced by whether or not you’re quoted by the day, by the hour, or by mileage. Smaller trips around town (or in the local area) are often calculated by the hour, while bigger road trips lasting multiple days are more often quoted by the day. If you aren’t traveling long distance but will need transportation services for multiple days in one area, such as a week-long convention, your rate will usually be by the day, or mile, not by hour. And don’t worry about not getting your full hourly money’s worth! In case your hourly excursion takes less time on the road than anticipated, a Charter Bus Santa Clarita representative will work with you to figure something out! Don’t forget about things like tip and parking fees, as well as meal stipends and per diem costs for your driver and passengers during long trips away.
Traveling During Popular Seasons
One of the major determining factors in how much your bus rental will cost in Santa Clarita is based on seasonality, or, when you’re looking to book transportation. If your travels will take place around events or happenings in your city, you’ll probably see a higher demand for local bus rentals—making it both harder to book and increasing overall pricing. Make sure to book well in advance (at least 6 months prior) during the most sought-after travel months for the best possible price.
Location and Pick-Up Spot
Booking a bus rental in Santa Clarita can come with unexpected costs based on where the buses are stationed. For example, if the provider needs to drive their bus rental from Los Angeles or Anaheim before beginning your service in Santa Clarita, that may result in an increased total due to deadhead costs. Or if your pick-up spot is in an area with low demand, where buses from our network tend to be fewer, availability and rates may be more impacted when you are trying to reserve on short notice. It’s always a good idea to book your bus at least 3 months in advance to maximize the number of vehicle options to choose from.
Bus Model and Number of Travelers
Before requesting a free quote for a bus, be sure you have an accurate headcount ready so we can determine the best type of charter bus or minibus rental for you. Depending on how many passengers you have, your rental may be significantly less expensive if you can choose a smaller model that’s more suited for you. Once your passenger count is finalized, Charter Bus Santa Clarita can determine your final bus rental price depending on whether you rent by the day, hour, or mile. Your charter bus rental pricing in Santa Clarita can also depend on whether you rent a new and/or luxury bus model. Our network includes luxury coaches with plush leather wraparound seats, hardwood floors, and entertainment features. The amenities a charter bus includes will influence its pricing.
Day of the Week and Rentals
Want the absolute BEST price? Book your trip or event on a weekday and beat out the prices of weekend charter bus rentals! It can be tempting to always rent buses for events that may be occurring on the weekends like weddings, birthday celebrations, and other get-togethers — but if possible, try to reschedule to Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday to make your party bus rental more budget friendly. Most charter bus rentals are more expensive during the weekend when they are popular for special events and celebrations. Booking on a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday to get a better daily or hourly rate for your Santa Clarita charter bus rental. Charter Bus Santa Clarita can also help you find party bus rentals in Santa Clarita — they have amazing features and are perfect for weddings and proms!
What Time of Day Are You Traveling?
If you can plan your group trip in the morning or afternoon hours, you’re much more likely to pay lower hourly and daily charter bus rental rates. Most charter bus rental providers raise their prices after 6pm to cater to party bus customers and other special events like weddings, proms, concerts, and bachelor(ette) parties. If you can’t move around when your event starts and ends, you may want to consider finding venues where parking fees won’t be added to your total budget and inquire about special overnight parking options for your driver, so that additional charges aren’t tacked on at the last minute.
Amenities for Charter Bus Rentals
There are multiple amenity offerings that charter bus rentals can include, and many of them come at no extra cost. Most of the buses in our network have standard amenities like AC, cushioned and reclining seats, overhead compartments, a PA system, and more! However, some amenities like WiFi and TVs may cost additional fees to use. Party buses come with their own set of premium amenities that may increase the price of your rental. Upgraded interiors, onboard dance floors, LED lights and bars can give passengers a more luxurious and fun-filled experience during their travels. Talk to your rental expert about the special amenities that can be available on party bus rentals.
Additional Expenses For Your Trip
Your final bus rental quote will include most of what your group trip will entail, like driver costs and travel fees. There are also a few other factors that may not be included but you’ll have to include on your budget, which is always better planned earlier in advance! Your quote will likely not include driver tip, gas, parking fees, and overnight accommodations like hotels for your driver during a multiple-day charter. It’s always easier to make a good itinerary for a group trip if all potential costs are factored in.
Cost-Saving Options for Santa Clarita Bus Rentals
Want to save money while renting a charter bus or party bus rental in Santa Clarita? That’s one of Charter Bus Santa Clarita’s specialties! We work with every customer individually to determine their transportation needs and can work with your travel budget. Before you call us for your free quote, there are a few things you can do to streamline the booking process and ensure you save as much money as possible. Consider the following before getting started:
- Keep that group count correct. Are you confident your final passenger count is accurate? Make sure everyone has RSVPed and let your Charter Bus Santa Clarita representative know the exact number of passengers. That way, your charter bus rental quote will include a bus that comfortably accommodates everyone in your party. If you add people last minute you may need a larger bus. And removing people at the last minute could result in overpaying for too much bus space.
- Reduce those stops along the way. Is it possible to reduce the amount of locations you are booking? If so, doing so will cut down on the deadhead miles accumulated without passengers. It’s usually more economical to pick a venue close to where your charter bus provider is located. That way, there won’t be any miles added when your driver needs to head to your pick-up destination, which could increase the price.
- Reserving well in advance. Reserving a charter bus or party bus rental as early as possible, at least six months before your trip, is one of the easiest ways to ensure you get the lowest rate possible. The sooner you reserve the best rate and bus possible!
- Less nights and fewer rooms mean more money saved. When you have more than one day of transport needs, book a bus company that doesn’t need to drive far to pick up and drop you off to reduce potential costs of hotels. We also recommend working with your itinerary to reduce the amount of time your driver will need accommodation so that you don’t overpay for extra nights.
