The cost of a corporate bus rental for a private event shuttle, for example, or hourly transportation at your wedding. However, we understand events and hourly trips don’t always happen within a few hours. Multi-day events can also be quoted at an hourly rate as a convenient option for organizers to keep attendees on schedule and traveling comfortably to multiple locations! And our team will also work with any group to make any other package options possible — even including custom packages for one ways and two ways! When you call our team at 781-715-2198 for a quote or use our quick online pricing form, tell our reservation specialists if you need a charter bus or minibus hourly rental and how long you’ll be traveling around town in Cambridge.
Seasonal Pricing
It’s important to remember that like so many other destinations around the U.S., Cambridge sees spikes in price and demand depending on the season. If you plan to rent a charter bus in Cambridge during the busy summer or around spring/autumn holidays like St. Patrick’s Day and Thanksgiving, you’ll want to reserve early. Getting an early start to reserving your Cambridge bus rental ensures your group will find the best selection of available buses and pricing. Whenever possible, we highly recommend groups call between 3-to-6 months before their travel date if it falls between the months of April and October.
Pickup & Drop-off Location, and Bus Availability
Availability is a big thing when it comes to pricing your bus rental. Our team at Charter Bus Rental Company Cambridge has partnered with local transportation providers to offer customers a huge selection of charter bus rentals in cities across Massachusetts, New England and the entire US (including nearby locations like Framingham and Lowell!). Keep in mind, though, that booking a charter bus outside of larger cities will usually have limited options. Charter Bus Rental Company Cambridge strives to connect you with the charter bus closest to you or to your preferred pickup or drop-off locations. But if the closest charter bus or minibus happens to be a few hundred miles away from where your start and end cities are, you may run into an additional “deadhead fee” for the added miles required for your vehicle to travel to you. To eliminate “deadhead mileage” whenever you can, rent a charter bus from the largest or closest bus company in your area.
Bus Model & Type
One of the most obvious determining factors influencing charter bus pricing will be what kind of bus you rent, how large or small your vehicle is, and any additional premium features you want onboard. The options for bus rentals in our network include party bus rentals for 10-50 people and other fun, exciting vehicles for transport like shuttle sprinter buses, limousines and charter bus options, with each costing more per hour or per day than smaller shuttle buses or minibuses. Full-size coach buses can include several amenities for comfortable, long-distance rides, but this comfort usually comes with higher prices, too. But the only way to truly know the right model of bus for your group’s needs—and at what price!—is to speak with a reservation agent about the details of your next trip. When you rent a charter bus in Cambridge, your dedicated reservation specialist will use this information to determine the right size of charter bus, and how much to quote for the service. You can also use our online quote tool to view different pricing options on the various buses available.
Day of the Week & Travel Rates
Party and charter bus rentals in Cambridge may differ in price during weekends compared to weekdays. Most bus rental companies charge an increased per-hour or per-day rate on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays compared to Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. Your Cambridge bus rental’s weekend price goes up simply due to increased demand for bus rentals during these popular nights for going out, celebrating weddings, and holding private parties and events.
Time of Day and Charter Bus Demand
Rent a bus or charter a bus during the day and usually get a lower rate than renting at night. This goes for charter buses and minibuses alike! Evening and nighttime hours, when most party buses, shuttle buses, and other motorcoaches are booked for social outings—cost more due to increased demand and limited availability. You’ll have more pricing options during daylight hours than at night. However, depending on your event’s schedule (especially if it’s a big gathering) you may not always have the flexibility to shift your event from night to day. We recommend checking your event schedule to determine whether reserving a daytime charter bus would reduce costs, save money, and if it would be practical for your travel group. Our team are experts in price flexibility — even helping those with flexible bookings.
Your Bus Rental’s Amenities
The amenities aboard your bus rental won’t majorly influence your rental costs, but the best way to find out how much more it would be to have additional features is by letting your representative know. Charter Bus Rental Company Cambridge prides itself on transparency in pricing, so we always work to ensure our quotes include any features you think you’ll want. Tell us if you’d like amenities like DVD players and TV screens to watch movies and videos, extra outlets to keep devices fully charged, free Wifi, an on-board restroom or luggage trailer to keep your things tucked away, ADA-accessibility equipment, or anything else. Our network and connections with local bus companies is huge. There are so many options to pick from, so it’s almost certain we’ll find something that suits your group’s needs!
Budgeting for Your Trip: Additional Expenses
Your Charter Bus Rental Company Cambridge quote is an estimated guess, so your actual costs will be tailored to your travel needs. However, most of the things that can throw your pricing off will happen on the road. Road tolls, overnight driver accommodation, parking fees and permits, or sudden stops and route deviations can all add up quickly. So plan your itinerary and stick to your schedule. To budget for additional costs, factor those costs into your trip expenses before renting your Cambridge charter bus. You can also ask about any discounts. Oftentimes, charter bus rental companies provide lower rates if you prepay in advance or book at least 6 months in advance. The additional savings can really help.
How to Save Money on Your Charter Bus Rental
Saving money on a Cambridge bus rental can be easier than you might think! Take a few minutes to read over these easy and practical budgeting tips for planning a group trip:
Don’t change your passenger count or add destinations without letting your rep know. Adding an extra row of passengers or even a few extra destinations along the way may require the need for a different bus model and could potentially add mileage and drive time to your journey, increasing your quote significantly.
Reduce any “deadhead” fees whenever possible. (Deadhead refers to mileage accumulated by your driver to bring the vehicle to your designated pickup and drop-off destinations, even before anyone’s on board. It’s best to rent your bus rental near your starting location or in a town or city near where you’re headed.
Book in advance. This ensures availability and better pricing.
Check with your start and end destinations for complimentary overnight stay options for your driver or even parking options. Hotel rooms, parking permits and gas can cut costs. Every penny saved counts!
And if you’re staying at a hotel or another venue, let your group’s coordinator know you’ll be traveling with an oversized vehicle to inquire about any potential parking fees. Sometimes larger motorcoaches are even able to park for free!
