Charter Bus Rental Company Long Beach works with a network of different bus providers to provide all-inclusive pricing that’s tailored to you. Each charter bus provider has different pricing structures. So it’s a hard question to answer! However, generally, each bus is quoted hourly, per day, or per mile – but to get an exact quote, it’s best to give us a call. We’ll be glad to provide you with pricing based on your specific needs! And when you are ready to plan your itinerary and budget, Charter Bus Rental Company Long Beach will be with you every step of the way!
Travel Time and Distance
Your Long Beach bus rental will either be charged by the day, hour, or mileage. Local trips—pick-up and drop-off in the same city, less than a day long—are priced hourly. Keep in mind that your bus will have a minimum of hours your group is obligated to pay for, no matter if you travel fewer hours or not. If you’re planning travel for several days across a short or long distance like a tour or wedding transportation, you’ll most likely be charged a per-day rate. In other words, if you need your Long Beach shuttle running throughout a few consecutive days to take convention guests between hotels and event venues—expect a quote by the day rather than by the hour. When you provide us with your itinerary—that includes every start and end point with addresses— we’ll give you an estimate of what you can expect to pay per day for a charter bus. Road trip on the mind? A road trip typically spans several stops, across longer distances. For events like this, your trip will be calculated by mileage. Charter Bus Rental Company Long Beach breaks down all the expected costs before you sign on the dotted line, including expected toll rates, and more! When you work with Charter Bus Rental Company Long Beach, you’re working with the very best in the group travel space!
Time of Year and Rental Demand
Prices of your Long Beach bus rental are subject to change by the time of year you reserve a bus. There is a higher demand for Long Beach buses in spring, summer, and early fall months, typically increasing the cost of bus rentals. The busiest travel months typically fall in April, May and June—and during this time, you can expect most events, especially weddings, happen on weekends like Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Holidays are also worth considering when estimating your trip cost. Holiday weekends are when we tend to see a surge in the need for buses. Some major days include New Year’s Eve and Day, Christmas Eve and Day, Memorial Day, and Labor Day. Charter Bus Rental Company Long Beach is always available 365 to get your free price quote. Just fill out the online form in just seconds — and for major events during a busy season like a wedding, you can make sure you have the most accurate pricing quote if you finalize your passenger count and itinerary. Give us as much information as possible to receive the most up-to-date pricing plan for you.
Starting City and Bus Availability
Bus rental prices are affected by pick-up and drop-off locations. The Charter Bus Rental Company Long Beach team will work with you to arrange pickup spots as close to your requested location as possible, but some areas may not have oversize vehicles due to traffic restrictions or lack of adequate parking near your destination. To get around this issue, we suggest planning your start or end points in accessible areas for charter bus and minibus rentals. Some places to consider near or in Long Beach include Anaheim for Disneyland, LA for Universal Hollywood, or Palm Springs. Each of these places include nearby hotels with ample parking. If your pickup location has limited charter buses available, we’ll find a nearby transportation provider so we can find the perfect bus for you. And of course, please allow Charter Bus Rental Company Long Beach to help you make a plan by working with our specialists! We’re committed to offering exceptional group transportation service.
Bus Type and Number of Passengers
The type of bus and size affect your overall rental costs. Small and mid-sized groups would benefit the most from a minibus rental because it’s an efficient way to travel through Long Beach city streets without sacrificing comforts like reclining seats and a PA system. Large groups or those looking for premium onboard entertainment and extra space will want a larger charter bus. Charter bus rentals have more leg room and an onboard restroom. To keep costs as low as possible, it helps to reserve your bus at least 6 months in advance, finalize your passenger count, and shorten your trip. Groups with lots of extra luggage should opt for a charter bus rental with ample undercarriage storage. And if there is no parking available at your destination venue, a smaller minibus rental may be better than a full-size coach bus.
The Best Day of the Week to Book
Looking to save a little on your charter bus rental in Long Beach? Plan a weekday outing! Charter bus rates are typically more expensive during the weekend. This is because events like weddings tend to be hosted on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. If possible, it will benefit your wallet when you organize events earlier in the week, and earlier in the day. For some groups, however, this just isn’t possible and the only way you’ll have an accurate estimate is by requesting a bus rental quote tailored to your needs. Simply gather your trip itinerary and contact us!
Saving Money with Daytime Rates
Not only will traveling during weekdays (Monday-Thursday) get your group the most savings on your rental bus, traveling in the daytime will also keep rental costs lower than nighttime rates. Typically, party buses and wedding shuttle bus services see high demand during the night, usually after 6 p.m. This can also be the case for event transportation to places like clubs and bars for corporate holiday parties, bachelorette parties and bachelor parties. Booking a private daytime charter bus for events such as these, where possible, is often more affordable than reserving an evening rental.
Charter Bus Amenities and Other Features
Most standard amenities like air conditioning, free WiFi, and overhead storage are included in your bus rental quote. Premium features like onboard restrooms, TVs and DVD players, and ADA-accessibility, however, may come at an additional fee. Be sure to inform Charter Bus Rental Company Long Beach about any and all amenity requests you may have onboard when reserving a bus in Long Beach! That way we can ensure accurate charter bus pricing.
Fees Not Included in Charter Bus Rental Quotes
There are certain expenses you’ll need to keep in mind if you’re renting a charter bus or minibus in Long Beach. These won’t be included in your bus rental quote but may need to be paid in cash to your bus driver during your travels.
These typically include:
- Tip for your bus driver (10-15% of your base rental rate, though you can choose to tip more if your driver provides exceptional service)
- Toll and parking fees during your trip
- Hotel room if you need an overnight trip
- Additional mileage for any unplanned routes or stops made during travel
When building your itinerary and budget, always have your finalized travel destinations ready to help receive accurate pricing quotes and anticipate potential additional fees.
Money-saving Tips
Don’t sweat the cost of renting a private shuttle. There are ways to save money and stick to your group trip budget while booking a charter bus rental in Long Beach! One simple way to stay within your trip budget is by planning a trip off-season and during the middle of the week. The months from late July to March can be great times to plan an event, vacation or private tour of southern California without paying peak prices for your bus rental. And if possible, try planning group activities like weddings and corporate parties between Tuesday and Thursday rather than on weekends for greater discounts. Another factor that could lower your travel cost is parking your bus in areas with designated free spaces. When planning your route or itinerary, always check with destinations to see if bus parking is available and where it is. The Downtown Long Beach Alliance lists parking locations for oversized vehicles like motorcoaches and can give your group or driver an idea of areas to park near or around major venues in the city. Along with free parking options, there is metered parking as well. Some paid spots are located between Long Beach Boulevard and Elm Avenue on East Ocean Boulevard. Additional paid bus parking near the Waterfront is located in the Shoreline Village, where 30 minute metered spaces can be found.
