When it comes to renting a bus in Manteca, there are a few variables you need to consider when planning. A handful of factors that will determine pricing include the duration of your trip, your start and end location, how far in advance you book, the time of year you are traveling, what kind of bus you rent, and if you need any additional amenities.
Trip Planning and Duration
How long is your trip? This is where the concept of bus rental pricing is typically explained as either by the hour, by day or by mile. Single day trips or outings that don’t extend beyond the city limits are usually charged by the hour. A common requirement is a minimum number of hours to rent a bus for your trip. Your Charter Bus Manteca reservation specialist will explain these details at the time of booking. If your travels take more than one day, such as a trip from Manteca to San Francisco, we’ll calculate your charter bus rental quote by the day.
If you are traveling over a very long distance between cities, such as a group of music fans attending a multi-day concert in cities along the west coast from Los Angeles to Seattle, your quote will be assessed by the mile.
Don’t forget to factor in additional costs like admission tickets, meals, or souvenirs that you might want to get while you’re at your final destination when building your budget. It’s always better to overestimate expenses than underestimate!
Time of Year
When your trip occurs is another factor to consider. Generally, charter bus rentals are more expensive during the spring, early summer and fall months due to high demand and limited availability. High schools around the country book their proms and homecomings from April to June, which drastically increases the demand, while September and October are also popular times of the year due to fall weddings, festivals, and the beginning of football season. If you’re planning a bus trip during these times of the year, it’s recommended to book your bus at least 6 months in advance. The same rule applies to peak tourist seasons. If you’re traveling to a popular destination in the winter, we also recommend calling us at least 6 months early.
Start and End City
Your travel plans will take you from one destination to another. These destinations may be within the same city, or across state lines. In either instance, Charter Bus Manteca has your group transportation covered in the US, and in California!
If your trip spans multiple states or is further away from your starting location, your price quote will change to reflect that distance. This cost associated with traveling without passengers on board (as the bus is driving to your pick-up location) is referred to as deadhead. To reduce this fee, we recommend booking a bus that is located in the same city that your group’s itinerary will depart from. Charter Bus Manteca works with a wide network of charter bus companies, so we can almost certainly find you a bus rental closer to your departure city to help reduce the deadhead cost.
Bus Size and Passenger Count
The size and type of bus that you rent will influence the cost of your bus rental. If your group is relatively small and you are staying within a short distance of Manteca, like to a local winery or sports game at nearby Big League Dreams, our charter bus rental specialists will likely recommend a compact minibus rental. Minibuses are more affordable than full-size charter bus rentals, they’re equipped with plenty of comfortable amenities, and easier to navigate than large charter buses.
If you’re with a larger group, you may need to rent multiple minibuses to accommodate everyone. However, multiple bus rentals will significantly increase your rental cost. A more economical option in this case is to book a full-size charter bus rental, which can hold up to 56 passengers. Or, for a more unique and personalized experience, we also offer specialty charter buses for private occasions.
In general, filling as many seats as possible will help you get the most value out of your bus rental. The fewer seats you leave open, the less you’ll pay per person.
Days of the Week
When you’re booking a bus, it’s important to know which days of the week and what times are most convenient. Prices can fluctuate depending on these parameters. Prices are typically higher on the weekends due to high demand, while on weekdays prices may be lower or come with a reduced number of minimum hours.
Some bus companies don’t offer day or hourly rentals on Friday and Saturday nights because they’re often booked for overnight events like prom and weddings. And since they’re so popular for nights out, our party buses and limousines are nearly always rented out every weekend as well!
Time of Day
The time of day that you rent your bus will impact your rental prices. Similar to weekend bookings, prices for trips during the evenings may be higher due to limited availability or high demand. A charter bus or minibus is ideal for transporting passengers to weddings, sporting events, and parties at night, so if you need a bus rental on a weekday or weekend after 6 p.m., it will be more difficult to find and more expensive.
Bus Amenities
Some of the best features for comfort and convenience come standard on most of our bus rental options, like air conditioning and heat, plush and comfortable seating, a PA system, and overhead storage. But you can also enhance the amenities of your bus rental with additional features for an upgrade, such as TV monitors, DVD players, and free onboard WiFi, depending on the model. Additionally, if you have passengers that will require accessible transportation, you can request an ADA-compliant bus rental at the time of booking at no additional cost.
Additional Costs to Consider
Your price quote includes the total cost of your bus rental and the services of your bus driver, but there are a few extra costs that you should also add to the budget for your trip. These fees are generally for expenses incurred while you and your group are on the road, such as road tolls or parking permits at some locations. If you’re doing an overnight or multi-day trip, you will also need to provide hotel accommodations for your driver(s). Be sure to let us know at the time of booking if your trip will include parking or lodging for the driver(s). That way, we can include those charges in your quote.
It’s also generally expected that you tip your bus driver if they have given great service. For a private charter bus rental or minibus rental, an appropriate tip is between 15% and 20% of your total charter bus cost. Groups splitting the total cost of the charter bus rental can tip their driver at the end of the trip by collecting cash ahead of time and putting it in an envelope to hand to the driver.
Cost-Saving Tips
When it comes to group travel, budgeting is a big part of trip planning. Here are some of our favorite tips for keeping costs down when you rent a charter bus with Charter Bus Manteca.
Fill all of the seats. If you don’t need all 56 seats on a full-size bus, consider renting a mini bus to accommodate your smaller group. The larger the bus rental, the more expensive it will be.
Reduce your deadhead. If you can reserve a bus that’s in the same city where your departure is, you can significantly reduce any additional fees accrued while the bus is on the road.
Book in advance. Charter bus rates are always higher during busy travel times of the year, like spring and fall. When you call to book your bus, we recommend calling as far in advance as possible to give yourself the most options and best rates.
Reserve parking ahead of time. Ask the locations on your itinerary about group discounts or reduced parking fees for charter buses.
Avoid additional nights at the hotel. Ask your hotel about discounted or complimentary rates for bus drivers when you book a room block to help cut down on lodging expenses for overnight or multi-day trips.
