What are the Factors Influencing Meridian Bus Rental Pricing?

Charter Bus Rental Company Meridian works to make your budgeting process as simple as it gets. Each factor influencing your quote is personalized to the specific details of your Meridian group transportation and event needs. We have years of experience helping groups book transportation services – so you can trust our team to find the most affordable bus for you!

Mileage and Time

Bus rental pricing is usually determined by whether or not your quote will be calculated based on the day, hour, or mileage your itinerary calls for. One-off events or trips throughout Meridian will be charged an hourly rate. Groups traveling throughout the Treasure Valley or outside of the area for multiple days or longer distances can be quoted by day or mileage. Our team at Charter Bus Rental Company Meridian will assist you with planning your trip and getting you an estimated quote! Be sure to have a complete itinerary with all destinations and event addresses, including hotels where your group will be lodging, if applicable. This will help us calculate an accurate quote, and we can provide even more custom packages including round trips, and one ways so you can get your ideal trip itinerary. And we also offer free quotes — so call us today!

Peak Seasons for Renting a Bus in Meridian

Some times of the year, like April, May, June, September, and October, can get exceptionally busy for travel companies like Charter Bus Rental Company Meridian. These months have big events like graduation, wedding season, company retreats, school trips, and more. Because of this high volume, prices can sometimes fluctuate for charter bus rentals during this time, as well as a decrease in availability for buses. To avoid a surge in prices and decrease your risk of not finding the right bus for your needs, we recommend calling well in advance of your trip to book your charter bus in Meridian.

Starting Location and Vehicle Availability

When booking a charter bus in Meridian, you may find yourself charged additional fees if your driver has to travel a long distance. The mileage that your bus driver travels before picking up your group is referred to as “deadhead” and is not usually included in your quoted rate. It also depends if you are traveling across state lines as this can incur deadhead and increase the costs. We recommend starting and ending your trip in a central city like Meridian to avoid additional fees from our partners.

Bus Model Type and Group Size

As part of our process of quoting and booking a charter bus, we take into account the type of bus your group needs and the size of your bus, too. Party buses are popular picks for bachelor(ette) parties and corporate excursions, but minibuses might be better for brewery tours and small-scale local transfers. Regardless, larger buses will likely have a higher rate, even if the event itself won’t take up much time. That’s why at Charter Bus Rental Company Meridian, we recommend calling us for a free and personalized quote. You can trust our team to provide you with the most cost-effective option! Whether your group is large or small, we’ve helped find the perfect bus or fleet for corporate event planners, large sporting events, convention centers and stadiums, and much more.

Day of the Week

Booking a party bus or charter bus during peak weekend nights—such as a Friday or Saturday between 6pm to 2am—can also drive up your rate. Most charter bus companies charge an increased hourly rate and increase the number of hours you must rent to keep up with demand during the busiest party times of the week. When renting a bus in Meridian for something like a wedding or corporate event, we recommend shifting earlier in the week when possible. Having your reception on a Thursday instead of a Friday will likely decrease the cost per hour as well as lower the required rental time.

Time of Day for Your Event

If your trip doesn’t depend on a certain time frame, consider booking a daytime event or outing! Charter bus pricing and minimum rental time frame tend to increase when you book a ride during the evening (past 6 p.m.), so an afternoon birthday party or shuttle service can save you a few bucks! Even moving your wedding ceremony a bit earlier in the day may get you a lower price and a shorter required rental period, allowing you to keep more money in the bank.

Amenities You Can Book Onboard

When you book your bus rental, you have options to choose amenities that your passengers may find comfortable and convenient while traveling. Choose to equip your bus rental with WiFi so your passengers can watch movies, listen to podcasts or music, and more! You can request personal climate controls so that nobody feels too hot or too cold, power outlets for electronic devices, and additional amenities to make your memorable, all provided upon request.

Things Not To Forget About

When building your budget, consider the following additional expenses: road tolls, parking permits, tips for your bus driver, lodging for your driver if you need an overnight trip, and other additional costs like event tickets and food. We provide the price of your bus rental upfront—with down the road—when you call us at 208-517-1810 or when you use our price tool.

Tips for Saving Money

Trying to book the best charter bus in Meridian that also meets your budget? Here are a few tips to get you started!

  • Finalize your passenger headcount. Changing the number of travelers can increase or decrease the type of bus your group needs, making your rate increase if a larger bus has to be booked or even decrease.
  • Organize your entire trip plan before you book with destinations, addresses, pick-up and drop-off times, and requested amenities. This will ensure a swift booking process as well as an accurate quote.
  • Book early, at least six months ahead of time, to minimize price increases and less availability.
  • Check venues or hotels for possible parking options. Some may offer oversize parking, while others may charge an additional fee.
