What are the Factors Influencing San Angelo Bus Rental Pricing?

San Angelo bus rental pricing depends on several factors, which we’ll get into below. Keep in mind that your instant online quote will reflect your specific itinerary and headcount! A few things to keep in mind that could fluctuate your cost include the time of year of travel, the day of the week of travel, the duration of your trip in hours or mileage, and where your bus will be when picking up and dropping off your group. Just use our online tool to get your instant quote.

Time of Year

Time of year is one of the biggest factors impacting pricing. Supply and demand economics dictate that prices increase during high travel seasons such as Prom or Sporting events, leaving companies to raise their rates in order to get the most value to the limited number of buses they can provide. Peak months you’ll want to consider when planning your travels that could affect your cost include March, April, May, June, and December. Traveling during slower periods or during non-peak months (January, February, and July) can help lower your overall pricing.

Trip Duration

The length of your charter bus rental is another factor in the final cost. Shorter trips will typically cost less than longer ones. For example, a charter bus rental that takes your wedding party from their hotel to the San Angelo Country Club is going to cost less than a three-day excursion to popular Texas destinations like Austin, College Station, and San Antonio.

Short trips around town are determined by the hour, whereas longer trips consider both hours and mileage into the cost calculations. Contact our professional reservations team 24/7 for more information, or request an instant online quote.

Day of the Week

Day of the week can also play a role. Just like time of year, prices fluctuate by bus and vendor availability and are usually higher when they are in demand, such as on weekends during peak season.

Conversely, if you are looking to get a more affordable trip together, consider doing it during off-season on a weekday, like Monday, Tuesday or Thursday. However, if your plans must be over the weekend, consider booking a multi-day trip, like a trip to the San Antonio River Walk or Six Flags.

Passenger Count

When possible, filling every seat gives less per person when it comes to the price and offers a lower cost overall than if you were to book more than one bus.

For example, let’s say you’re taking a large group of 250 to an event. The most affordable route would be to book four 56-passenger charter buses or three 56-passenger charter buses and one 35-passenger minibus. Though you may need to slightly upgrade bus sizes, you’ll see more pricing value and can accommodate additional guests in your buses.

Pick-Up and Drop-Off Locations

One other aspect of pricing that is often overlooked is where the driver will be between trips or at the beginning and end of your itinerary. If you are booking a shuttle to and from larger events, like a concert at the Foster Communications Coliseum, traffic and available parking will be factors as your driver needs somewhere to wait before picking up your group. The further from a venue your bus needs to be, the longer the trip will take, which can increase your rate.

If you’re hosting or attending an event out of town, you’ll see higher bus cost and quotes overall, and there are a few reasons why. First, your reservation expert needs to factor in the distance between the transportation company’s office and your pick-up and drop-off location, also known as deadhead miles.

Additionally, some prices are influenced by where the bus is and where it needs to go after you’re finished with it, known as deadhead expenses. Many drivers also need a hotel arranged if your trip is more than eight or so hours since federal regulations require hours of service break for drivers.

Here’s a handy chart that summarizes all of the elements discussed above:

Factor How it affects pricing Time of Year Peak months (April, May, June, March, December) will have a higher price tag, especially during the weekends. Trip Duration The longer the duration, the higher it will cost. Day of Week You can find a lower price during the weekdays rather than weekends. Passenger Count The cost is lower when more people/guests fill up the seats. It also drives a lower cost per person than a smaller bus. Pick-up and Drop-off Location The location of the bus will impact your pricing. A bus further away may cost more and need to include deadhead mileage. It also costs more to pay for shuttle buses that move a bus between locations. Drivers can usually do 10 to 12 hours at most, especially if you cross state lines, so longer trips require more than one driver and this will increase your price. If the trip time requires them to take eight or so hours off, you may also have to pay for their hotel room. Vehicle Type Party buses are more expensive due to amenities. Basic charter buses will often be less.

10 Ways to Save on Your Bus Rental

Now that you know what can cause a bus rental price increase or decrease, you’re all set to get quotes and book your San Angelo bus rental. Here are a few ways you can use what you’ve just learned to help maximize your budget and get the most value for your trip.

Make a detailed itinerary so there are no charges for extra mileage between stops or detours to other stops.

If possible, book your bus at least three to six months in advance. This will be especially important if your booking is during prom, wedding season or in December.

If you have a bus nearby, you can reduce deadhead costs by getting your bus in the same location.

Ask about available overnight bus parking.

If you need a hotel for your driver, ask hotel booking agents about any deals or offers they can give you during the booking process.

Book the right bus size for your group to get the best pricing.

Avoid one-way bus rentals if possible, as you could be charged for return fees or deadhead costs.

If you’re flexible in your time of year for travel, consider booking it in slower periods where your rate will decrease.

Keep your trip as short as possible because if you need a trip that takes multiple days, you may have to consider additional fees, such as hotel fees for your driver or an additional driver.

If you fill as many seats in your bus it will cost less per person and you can split the costs among passengers.
