2. Charter Bus: What Choices Do I Have?

If you’re responsible for making sure a large group of people, such as a church group, youth organization, or tour group, need to get somewhere; you have a few options available. One thing you might think of doing is designating drivers among the group to take people in cars. For a very small group this might be feasible, but things get difficult when you find yourself trying to organize a dozen different vehicles and get them all to the same place without incident – not to mention splitting gas prices.

Then there’s public transportation. In many areas, busses and trains and taxis will take you all over a city – but have you ever tried getting fifty people to the same place in a single public bus or train? Because of the chaotic nature of such endeavors, you’re bound to lose a few people along the way. Again, with a small group it’s quite possible to use public transportation, but not if you’re responsible for a large number of people.

What else can you do? Is there anything, or are you just going to have to accept the curse of disorganization and difficulty? Actually, there is a fairly good answer to the mass transport question – and that is to rent a bus. For a total of around eight hundred for a fifty-passenger bus – sixteen dollars per person – you can get transportation for your entire group. And if you’re willing to pay an extra twenty or thirty dollars an hour (usually with a four hour minimum), you can even hire a professional driver to take care of getting you places and handling such an unwieldy vehicle in traffic.

3. Types of Charter Bus Rentals

There are plenty of types of bus charters out there, each designed for specific purposes. Are you looking for a bus for tours? Just rent a tour bus. Are you looking for something a little more luxurious – maybe to let you emulate the rock star culture of today’s musical elite? Why not rent an entertainer coach or a limousine bus and ride in style – have a party that goes places? You can even, if you wish, rent specialty bus charters, like school busses.

For these different types of bus service, you can obviously expect to pay different rates. A tour bus is cheaper than an entertainer coach simply because it isn’t as elaborate. Make sure you know before you begin your trip what your passengers expect and what you, as the trip organizer, are willing to pay. Research your charter bus rentals and know the rates available in your area. If you don’t have a bus driver license, consider hiring a professional bus driver. Most bus charter services offer drivers at reasonably low rates, so if you think it will help, ask around and see what the rates are in your area.

4. Finding the Right Bus Charter Company

When you’re looking for bus rentals, the first thing to do is decide what exactly you’re looking for in a rental. Are you just going to be driving a few hours from and to a function? Are you going to be conducting a tour? Are you going to throw a party? Outline your schedule, whatever that may be, before you begin the search. That way you’ll known exactly how long you’ll be gone and what to look for in terms of a rental bus and a driver.

Once you’ve decided on a purpose and itinerary, it’s time to start looking for a charter company. Some bus companies, like USA BusCharter, are nationwide and offer service across the country. Others might be local to a particular area – check your local yellow pages for “bus charters” or “bus rentals” and make a few calls to compare rates.

Another simple method for finding local bus charter services is to use the Internet. Get online, log onto your favorite web search engine, and type in something like “bus rentals Houston” or “charter bus Seattle” or whatever city you need bus transportation in. Google, in fact, offers a service called Google Maps, which may be used to find services in a given area – it even gives you contact phone numbers and locations by map where you can contact the bus rental services.
