Charter Bus Sandy works with many different bus companies across Utah, and each provider has slightly different rates. But generally, pricing is determined by whether your group is quoted by the day, hour, or mile based on what kind of travel plan your group has in mind. The price per hour is usually only used for local trips that last several hours. Multi-day trips are more often quoted by the day.
Trip Length and Travel Times
Sandy bus rentals are priced by the hour, day, or mileage, depending on your specific travel plan. One-off trips that are short and sweet and don’t leave the city the bus is stationed in (aka local trips) will be likely calculated by the hour. On average, most Sandy charter bus companies require a minimum amount of hours, but if your journey requires less time on the road, your Charter Bus Sandy representative will work with you to figure something out that meets your schedule and budget. Group trips and occasions that span multiple days—such as a week-long family reunion at Snowbird Ski Resort Or a sports tournament that takes several days of driving between Utah and Idaho—are typically charged by the day. If you’re not traveling over a long distance but your group trip needs transportation locally for multiple days in a row (like shuttling guests between hotels for the Sundance Film Festival), your rate will also likely be based on daily charges. Long-distance road trips where you won’t be staying in one spot for too long will be charged by mileage. To ensure the bus rental pricing quote you receive reflects your itinerary, make sure you have every drop-off and pick-up location planned out, with addresses.
Time of Year and Seasonal Demand
Another thing that impacts the cost of your bus rental is when you are traveling. Some times of year, such as April, May, June, September, and October tend to be more expensive for Sandy charter buses due to limited bus availability. The increased demand in bus rentals for these months is due to several events and happenings, such as weddings, school field trips, wedding ceremonies, bachelor parties, and more. Major events like the Sundance Film Festival and Real Salt Lake game days can also cause a spike in price and lower availability. If your trip happens to be around a major event or a popular sporting event, demand may increase, making securing a Sandy charter bus rental more difficult and pricier. Always check your city’s event calendar before finalizing your travel dates. It also helps to have your itinerary completely finalized when you call so you won’t be subjected to additional charges for unexpected mileage.
Location, Starting Point and Bus Availability
If your travel itinerary includes a start point in an area with low availability (usually the case for groups traveling in less-populated areas), Sandy charter bus pricing can increase. Additionally, if you are trying to book in these areas with short notice, your rate may increase due to less availability. And speaking of less availability, you may encounter additional fees if your driver has to drive a long distance from their base in order to meet you at your start point. This mileage that accumulates with no passengers onboard is known as “deadhead.” To reduce this cost, try to reserve a bus from a charter bus company that operates near your group’s pickup or dropoff location. Charter Bus Sandy has a statewide network of more than 5000+ buses, so we can often pair you with the closest bus company to your destinations to minimize deadhead costs.
Vehicle Type, Size and Amenities
The most obvious difference that will influence your bus rental cost is what type of bus you’ll need to book, along with what special amenities you need on board. And since we have party buses, sprinter vans, minibuses and charter buses, you’rsquo;ll have lots of options to choose from — but we know that can be difficult to weed through! To help with the searching process, Charter Bus Sandy has a quick 30-second online pricing where you can instantly see availability, pricing, and pictures for your travel date. From their you can easily browse different model options like Ford Transits, Mercedes Sprinter Vans and more with a variety of features like leather seats, wet bar areas, colorful laser lights, custom sound systems, TVs and much more. A small party bus that seats 15 people might be perfect for a bachelorette party headed to Park City for the weekend, but you can also book a 40 passenger party bus for your wedding party and family to get to the ceremony in style!
And for Sandy charter buses & minibuses – a full-sized motorcoach may be your best choice for long-distance trips, though if you are sticking to short-distance local travels, consider renting a minibus instead. These smaller shuttles are perfect for small events, company gatherings, and weddings, especially during the summer. Minibuses usually have lower hourly and daily rates than Sandy motorcoaches, but it depends. Need to make sure everyone stays comfortable throughout your trip? Request a charter bus or minibus with extra legroom! Most buses include about 30-39 inches between the seats, but you can even request additional space for passengers who may need to use a wheelchair or a walker. We also have ADA-accessible options too! And we offer a variety of yellow school buses as well. School buses are usually more affordable than a standard motor coach and can come equipped with a variety of amenities and features, like extra seating for up to 47 passengers, overhead storage and even a PA system.
What Day You Travel
Weekend rentals (Friday, Saturday, Sunday) are generally more expensive than those booked on weekdays (Monday-Thursday). When there’s less demand for Sandy bus rentals, like during weekdays, you’ll often be charged a lower price. On the other hand, on Friday and Saturday nights when there’s a higher demand for buses — companies usually raise the minimum rental hour limit and charge an increased rate per hour to meet that demand. If your celebration can be rescheduled to a day earlier in the week, consider celebrating Tuesday or Wednesday to get the best rate. Every highschool in the USA holds their prom on Fridays and Saturdays from April to June (and there are more than 27,000 total high schools in the country!). This is the busiest and most expensive time to rent a bus and we very very heavily advise you to book early if you have an event during this time. This will help you get the best rates and avoid running into any sold out dates. We’ve serviced proms for years so let us be your guide and help you get the ride you need.
What Time of Day You Travel
Looking to save a few bucks on your Sandy bus rental? Try booking a daytime trip. Because charter buses & party buses are so popular for nights out, weddings, bachelor/bachelorette parties, and concerts, most companies charge higher hourly rates during the evening to meet the demand. Fridays and Saturday nights are typically when bus companies see the highest volume of requests, so you’re almost guaranteed a higher price when reserving a ride during peak weekend times. Certain days throughout the week, like a Monday or Wednesday afternoon, may even come with a reduced minimum number of rental hours required for your reservation. You may not be able to change your schedule to get a cheaper rate for events like a concert or a sporting event with set times—but an outing to a winery or a trip with friends could be more affordable in the daytime.
Additional Amenities Onboard Your Bus
Many amenities, such as WiFi, plush seating, and ADA-accessible features, come standard on each bus model. Other amenities, like onboard restrooms, televisions with DVD players, and electrical outlets might come at an additional charge. Let your reservation specialist know if you’d like to make any specific requests, and we’ll make sure those requests are reflected in your bus quote. Some providers offer discounts if you prepay or book your bus at least six months in advance. Just ask your Charter Bus Sandy representative if you qualify! And be sure to let them know any preferences for onboard amenities to make your ride even more relaxing or productive. You can request buses with features like extra legroom for tall passengers, a PA system for on-the-road announcements, or WiFi and power outlets to keep everyone connected while traveling.
Other Costs to Account For
Your quote may not include road tolls, tip and parking fees. Be prepared to pay these out of pocket while traveling, or ask your representative if those can be included when you book. You may also be required to pay for lodging and other accommodations for your driver if your trip will last longer than a day. Please call us to confirm exact pricing. The total cost of your Sandy bus rental will depend on factors like your trip, when you’re traveling, what amenities you request, and even more. That’s why it’s best to call us at 385-449-6315 for an estimated bus rental quote. Our reservation specialists will be available 24/7 to help you get an all-inclusive price quote in minutes!
Tips to Get the Best Price
Want to save a little on your next Sandy bus rental? It’s much easier than you might think! Here are a few tips to get the best possible price on your rental! Have a finalized headcount before you book. Adding people may require a larger bus and increase your cost, and removing people could mean you overpaid for a vehicle that’s too big for your group. Reduce deadhead mileage by booking a bus that’s already located in the city you are leaving from. (Remember, deadhead refers to mileage that accumulates without passengers.) Book early, especially during the busy months of April, May, and June. Reduce the number of hotel rooms you need to book for your driver. Choose a destination city near your start city and reduce the amount of days you need your charter bus rental to avoid additional costs for lodging. Find venues with easy parking access for oversize vehicles and inquire with your hotel about complimentary parking options for your bus. Your Sandy bus rental will also be operated by a bus driver, and we can always work with your group and budget. Each bus will have features, so don’t be afraid to pick and choose the amenities that best suit your group. All you need to do to get an estimated cost estimate for your Sandy bus rental is to have your itinerary and travel info ready when you give us a call. A Charter Bus Sandy team member will make sure that everyone in your group has the most comfortable and enjoyable travel experience.
