What Affects the Price of a Charter Bus Rental?

When it comes to booking a charter bus rental in Birmingham, there are several factors that will influence your final cost. Here’s what to consider when you start budgeting for your next group trip:

Time of year: Busier travel seasons in Birmingham may lead to increased rates for bus rentals, so keep that in mind if you plan to travel in the summer or during a major event like a festival or game day.

Duration of your trip: The longer your bus rental is on the road, the higher your final cost will be. That’s why we typically recommend reserving a bus rental for multiple days if your itinerary has a lot of driving time—it’ll be cheaper than renting by the hour.

Type of bus rental: Different types of bus rentals come at different price points, depending on their size and onboard amenities. For example, a 56-passenger charter bus is more expensive than a minibus, while a fully loaded charter bus with a restroom, WiFi, and power outlets will cost more than a more basic coach bus rental.

Distance traveled: Heading out of town for a long-distance road trip? The farther your bus rental travels, the more it will cost to rent. For trips outside Birmingham, it may be cheaper to book a bus rental by the mile rather than by the hour or day.
