Charter Bus Anaheim works with transportation providers across the state, and each may have different rates. Pricing depends on a variety of factors, such as how far your group is traveling and for how long, as well as the time of year, type of bus, day of the week, and day of travel.
Factors Affecting Distance and Trip Length
Anaheim bus rentals are priced by the hour, day, or mileage, depending on your specific travel plan. A local trip—one that is short and sweet and doesn’t leave the city the bus is stationed in—will be likely calculated by the hour. If you need a bus for multiple days in a row (like shuttling guests between hotels for Coachella), your rate will also likely be based on daily charges. Group trips and occasions that span multiple days—such as a week-long convention at the Los Angeles Convention Center or a sports tournament that takes several days of driving between California and Nevada—are also typically charged by the day. Longer-distance 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. And remember, if you need to add any additional stops to your itinerary, this could cause a change in the final cost since your driver may be paid for mileage or hours driving.
Seasonality
The demand for buses in Anaheim depends on the time of year. Bus providers tend to have less availability in certain months like April, May, and June due to prom season, graduation season, and the start of summer vacation. The price of your Anaheim bus rental can also increase around major events like the annual NAMM Show, WonderCon, or Natural Products Expo West. Make sure you check local calendars when planning out your Anaheim trip so that your travel dates don’t fall on a busy event. It also helps to have your itinerary completely finalized when you call so you won’t be subjected to additional charges for unexpected mileage or an altered schedule. When your trip isn’t around a major event, you may even be able to get a reduced rate on your bus rental!
Starting Location and Bus Availability
If you’re planning a trip that begins in a less-populated part of Southern California with low bus provider availability (such as Palm Springs or Big Bear), your pricing will likely increase. It also increases if you try to book your bus rental in one of these areas at the last minute due to even fewer available buses. If your bus driver has to drive a long distance from their base to pick your group up at your specified pickup point, you’ll likely pay an extra fee for this. This fee is called “deadhead.” To reduce or eliminate the deadhead cost, rent a bus based in the same city or a nearby town as your group’s starting point. Charter Bus Anaheim works with tons of different party bus, charter bus and minibus operators in Orange County, and throughout the state to offer you a solution for every group, so if you’re in a unique location and not sure what options are available, we’ll be happy to help!
Bus Model Type and Size
Another factor that impacts your bus rental pricing is what kind and size of bus your travel group is renting. The smallest option in our network is an 18-passenger minibus, while the largest option, a full-size charter bus, can accommodate up to 56 passengers. The 15 to 18 passenger minibuses are usually quoted starting at $150, though the price per hour can go up to $430 or more. A 20–24-passenger mini bus typically ranges in price from $150 to $440, while larger minibuses for 25 to 35 passengers range from $150 to $450 per hour. If you need a bigger ride, the hourly rates for a 40 to 50-passenger charter bus rental range from $170 to $480 and the 50 to 56 passenger charter bus rental rate usually starts at $180 to upwards of $500. Larger vehicles like entertainer coaches cost anywhere from $315 and up to $550+ per hour and daily rates start at around $3,500 up to $5,000 and more. If your group is looking to be economical, yellow school buses can be the perfect option starting at $145 to $450 per hour, and shuttle buses range from $155 to $450 an hour. We also have party buses of all sizes to help you enjoy your next trip even more!
Day of Travel
Renting a bus over the weekend costs more than one you rent on a weekday. From Friday to Sunday (peak times for events like parties and weddings) bus companies tend to raise their prices since the demand is much higher. If your travel date falls on a day where bus providers are in high demand, your minimum rental hours will likely be increased, which will also increase your overall cost. For example, if you’re trying to rent a party bus for prom, you may encounter a minimum rental time of 5 to 6 hours because so many high schools have their prom on a Friday or Saturday night between April and June. If you have a prom date that falls on a Wednesday or Thursday, though, you may be able to reduce your rental time to 2 or 3 hours and also get a lower hourly rate due to decreased demand.
Time of the Day
As with the day of the week, your bus rental prices may also fluctuate based on the time of day you’re traveling. Just as with the days of the week, some times of day are more popular. For example, most proms are held in the evening. For this reason, you may pay more for a Friday evening bus rental to pick up your prom date from their house at 6 p.m. than you’d pay to pick them up earlier in the day. If you’re headed to a sporting event, the times of pickup and dropoff are not always up to you. But if you are renting a bus for a day trip, consider exploring your destination during the day rather than at night. This would save you money on your hourly rate while also reducing traffic congestion on your travels to and from your destination.
Bus Amenities
Your chosen bus amenities may cause a small change in your rental price, although not always. Many additional accommodations and features will come standard at no extra cost, such as plush seating, WiFi connectivity, power outlets, and ADA-accessible features. If you are renting a large full-size charter bus, amenities like an onboard restroom and undercarriage storage are included as well. Other upgrades, such as onboard TVs with DVD players or a PA system, might increase your cost. In order to get the best quote on your Anaheim charter bus rental, call 657-202-6120 and speak with a reservation specialist to learn which amenities are included with your bus and what additional perks might cost extra.
What Costs Aren’t Included
Your bus quote may not include toll and parking fees. This is generally determined by the route your driver takes, and parking or toll fees are likely paid for as they occur. Any costs associated with your driver or any overnight stays also aren’t included in your quote and will be handled during the booking process. If you are booking a charter bus for longer than a day, you are legally obligated to provide your bus driver with hotel or lodging arrangements. Need to make changes to your itinerary? This may come at additional charges so it’s always best to have your trip or event details finalized when you call. Our representatives are also happy to chat about ways to make your trip more affordable. With flexible packages for one-way trips, round trips, hourly, multiple day service — we can create a custom travel solution for you.
Budget-Friendly Charter bus Rental Tips
If you’re trying to save some money on your charter bus rental, it’s easier than you might think! Here are a few tips to get you started:
- Finalize your itinerary before you call to get a quote. This eliminates mileage and other additional fees for any extra stops your driver may need to make, and you’ll never pay for a bus or amenities you don’t need.
- Reduce deadhead costs. This refers to mileage or time where your bus isn’t traveling with any passengers, and it can be avoided by booking your rental with a bus company located within the city you are departing from.
- Book as early as possible. Availability during busy times such as summer months, weekends, and holidays, tends to be limited and may lead to increased prices.
- Reduce the number of overnights for your driver if you can. This cuts out the additional cost of having to book a hotel room for your driver every night. Book round trips or combine your destinations into a one-day trip. You can also rent a charter bus from a company located close to the city you are ending your trip or event in.
- Book a bus with the right seating capacity for your group. If you overestimate your headcount, you may be paying for seats you don’t need, and if you underestimate, you will be charged more for additional accommodations. For smaller groups, a mini bus rental may be a better option for you than a full-size charter bus.
- Try to find a venue, hotel, or event space that has free parking for charter buses or consider these locations.
