Charter Bus Rental Company Edinburg works with many bus companies around Texas, and every provider has unique rates and packages. But generally, your final bus rental cost in Edinburg is determined by a number of factors that vary from trip to trip. Let’s take a look.
How Far and How Long You’re on the Road
When you book through Charter Bus Rental Company Edinburg, you’ll either be charged hourly, by mileage, or with a per-day rate. Most one-off events and trips in and around Edinburg can be easily calculated with an hourly charter or party bus rental cost. A trip from Edinburg to McAllen for a high school football game, for example, would likely be calculated hourly. Most charter bus companies have a set number of minimum rental hours for short, local trips. For example, they may require a 5-hour minimum but your trip ends up lasting only 3 hours.
If your trip or event will take several days (such as an out-of-state sports tournament or an academic competition with trips to other Texas cities like San Antonio or Corpus Christi) you’ll likely be charged a flat rate per day. However, if your group’s itinerary takes you to several destinations in a short amount of time (like an overnight band tour across Texas), your pricing will be based on mileage.
Insider Tip: Your bus rental quote won’t include certain travel costs like overnight accommodations for your driver or additional parking and toll fees. Be sure to have those in your travel budget, as well as meals for everyone on board!
Time of Year (Seasonality)
The bus rental rates in our network are impacted by the seasons of travel, whether you’re planning a sports team charter bus rental to an out-of-town tournament or a wedding shuttle bus to a beach venue. Keep in mind that from April to June, bus availability decreases and prices tend to increase due to spring events like proms, graduations, and formals. The same is the case during the busy summer months for vacations and events like family reunions and weddings. For any trips around these times, make sure you call for a quote at least six months in advance, and maybe even more than 6 months for major holidays.
Pickup and Dropoff Locations
Another factor to consider when assessing bus rental prices in Edinburg? The location your trip is taking place. Like many industries and business, the party bus, charter bus and minibus rentals in our network are also impacted by the current supply chain and inflation issues. While many vehicles are becoming available during this time and things are slowly easing back to normal, you may still notice an increase in pricing in areas where it may be more expensive to book. We recommend booking as early as possible to get the most ideal pricing. Those looking to travel to areas less populated may see a spike in pricing as well as availability issues since charter buses aren’t as abundant in these locations.
If your travel includes a pickup location in an area where bus availability is low—such as Edinburg during spring and summer (but less of an issue if you’re planning a McAllen charter bus rental), which is in the same county as Edinburg, or even a Corpus Christi bus rental—or you book with little-to-no notice, you may be charged a premium. You may also want to minimize how far your bus has to travel before picking up any passengers to minimize deadhead miles. Keep your transportation efficient when you rent a bus that operates nearby. You’ll want to minimize any mileage that accrues while a bus isn’t filled with passengers because it will inevitably add to your total costs.
Insider Tip: We partner with over thousands of party bus, charter bus, and minibus providers throughout Texas and the country. It’s not unusual for us to connect passengers to vehicles in other nearby cities!
Bus Type, Size, & Amenities
Along with time and distance, what model and size of bus you choose will also impact your cost. And when you rent a charter bus with Charter Bus Rental Company Edinburg, you’ll be able to request amenities and features that best suit your passengers’ needs. Most standard models, for instance, have about 39 inches between each row of seats, but you can request a coach bus or minibus with extra legroom, with up to 56 inches! (Perfect for when a passenger is in a wheelchair or other mobility device.)
Larger groups of passengers or those with specialty equipment and gear like military and government organizations and sports teams may want to consider full-sized charter bus rentals since those offer an undercarriage luggage bay and parcel racks within the cabin. On the other hand, if you’re looking for something that can comfortably transport a smaller group, say under 35 people, then our compact minibuses are a much more affordable option for those planning local travels.
Amenities like flat-screen TVs, DVD players, free WiFi, and power outlets can increase your rental fees. Just say the word and we can even book you a charter bus with ADA accessible features.
Insider Tip: If you book a full-sized charter bus and your trip happens to take you over a long distance (or if everyone plans to hydrate exceptionally well!), you’ll want a model that includes an onboard restroom—especially if you need to minimize pit stops! Just be sure to let your reservation expert know!
Day of the Week You’re Traveling
If possible, keep things flexible for day-of-week travel! Generally, your Chicago bus rates are higher on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights than they are during the week (Monday-Thursday). If your trip can be adjusted to another day other than those, you may be able to get a better rate! Keep in mind that during days with higher demand like Friday and Saturday nights, charter bus companies will usually implement a higher minimum number of rental hours or miles required for these nights than other days of the week, and the price for hourly rentals tends to rise as well. So if you can plan your event or excursion for a Monday or Tuesday night, for instance, you may be charged less overall for your party bus or charter bus rental. Insider Tip: Every high school in America has prom or graduation on a Friday or Saturday night, from April-June—and there are nearly 27,000 total high schools throughout the country. This can severely limit your chances of getting a party bus for prom during these days since they sell out super fast, so it’s HIGHLY recommended you book well in advance.
Time of Day You’re Traveling
Just like the day of the week you travel, the time of day of your travels can also affect pricing too. When there’s less demand, say, on a Wednesday afternoon compared to a Friday night, charter bus companies will often reduce the number of minimum rental hours or miles required, as well as the overall cost. Charter Bus Rental Company Edinburg recommends booking your bus rental service before or after peak traffic times whenever possible, usually before 4pm or after 7pm, though if your outing is during off-peak times—like in the middle of the workday, on a Wednesday afternoon or even during less popular months like July and August (outside of those summer vacations!)—your chances of being charged less are higher.
Enhance Your Trip with Custom Amenities
Want WiFi so your passengers can share photos on social media while en route? A built-in restroom and reclining seats for maximum comfort for long trips? Electrical outlets so no one’s phone dies during a road trip? Extra storage space for your sports team’s coolers and gear? The Charter Bus Rental Company Edinburg network of charter bus rentals in Edinburg offers tons of options and perks that will take your trip to the next level—whatever you think your guests will love, our team can make it happen!
There are also many party bus upgrades — and did we mention our limo service in Edinburg? Party buses and limos can offer everything from bars and laser lights to the ultimate luxury features in our fleet. You can choose amenities and features like WiFi, fiber-optic lighting, premium leather/couch seating and a sound system with AUX hookups, DVD players, etc. Just let your rental specialist know when you call and book. They’ll work their magic and get you the perfect ride and perks to make your next event or trip even better.
Most standard charter and shuttle buses come with climate control, plush seating, and luggage storage. You can also request a charter bus rental with ADA-accessible features at no additional cost. Some amenities such as WiFi, restrooms, and onboard entertainment can affect charter bus rental prices, but if you tell your rental representative about your amenity needs, they’ll do their best to include those requests when getting a quote for you.
Additional Costs
You’re likely still wondering: “how much is a charter bus?” After speaking to one of our representatives about your itinerary and transportation needs, you’ll get a free, personalized quote—one that won’t include every single cost. Usually, additional expenses like toll fees, parking permits, and parking fees must be paid by your bus driver during travel and will be due out-of-pocket once the trip is over. The same goes for overnight accommodations and meals. If your driver needs to stay in a hotel overnight or if your itinerary includes more than a day’s worth of meals for the driver, you can expect those costs once the bus returns.
Get the Most out of Your Bus Rental Budget
Want to save a little cash on your next charter bus rental? Keep in mind these helpful tips to make your next trip a little more budget-friendly. Every penny counts!
Give your reservation representative a finalized headcount so they can choose the right type of bus or party bus. Adding or removing passengers last-minute may change what type of bus you need.
Reduce your deadhead mileage by renting a bus in the same city you’re leaving from. Most charter bus companies in our network require a mileage rate to pick up passengers at different cities. Deadhead miles refers to when a charter bus is traveling to the pickup location.
Book early, if possible. Limited availability means increased prices.
Keep your itinerary local when possible to reduce how many days you need a bus driver and charter bus.
Coordinate with venues and hotels in advance to ensure they have parking available for oversized vehicles and see if any hotels or venues offer free bus parking.
