Bus Rental Company Fayetteville works with many different bus companies across Arkansas, and each provider has slightly different rates. Generally, pricing is determined by whether your group is quoted by the day, hour, or mile based on your travel plan. The price per hour is usually for local trips that last several hours. Multi-day trips are more often quoted by the day. We also offer special packages like one-ways and round trips. These all vary depending on many different factors. Let’s take a look at some of them!
Trip Distance and Duration
Fayetteville 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—like a shuttle to a Razorbacks game—will likely be calculated by the hour. On average, most Fayetteville charter bus companies require a five-hour minimum, but if your journey requires less time, your Bus Rental Company Fayetteville representative will work with you to figure something out that meets your schedule and budget. Group trips that span multiple days, such as a weekend trip to Little Rock, are typically charged by the day. Long-distance road trips will be charged by mileage.
Time of Year (Seasonality)
Another thing that impacts the cost of your bus rental is when you are traveling. Some times of the year, such as April, May, June, September, and October, tend to be more expensive for Fayetteville charter buses due to limited bus availability. The increased demand for bus rentals in these months is due to events like proms, school field trips, and weddings. Major local events like Bikes, Blues & BBQ and University of Arkansas football season can also cause a spike in price and lower availability. Always check Fayetteville’s event calendar before finalizing your travel dates. Booking early can help you have the best rates!
Location and Availability
If your travel itinerary includes a start point in an area with low availability, Fayetteville charter bus pricing can increase. This is usually the case for groups traveling in less-populated areas. Additionally, if you are trying to book in these areas with short notice, your rate may increase due to less availability. You may also encounter additional fees if your vehicle has to travel a long distance from its base to meet you at your start point. This mileage that accumulates with no passengers onboard is known as “deadhead.” To reduce this cost, we’ll try to pair you with a bus company that operates near your pickup or dropoff location.
Bus Type and Size
The most obvious difference that will influence your bus rental cost is what type of bus you’ll need to book. We have sprinter vans, minibuses, party buses, and charter buses, so you’ll have lots of options to choose from! A full-sized motorcoach may be your best choice for long-distance trips to see the Botanical Garden of the Ozarks since they have luggage compartments and restrooms. If you are sticking to short-distance local travels, consider renting a minibus instead. Minibuses usually have lower hourly rates than Fayetteville motorcoaches. A smaller party bus can typically seat between 10 to 20 passengers, while larger options can accommodate over 40 people. Luxury buses will also come at a higher price.
The Day of the Week
Weekend rentals on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday are generally more expensive than those booked on weekdays from Monday to Thursday. When there’s less demand for Fayetteville bus rentals, like during weekdays (and as long as you aren’t booking around a Razorbacks game day or a holiday), you’ll often be charged a lower price. On Friday and Saturday nights, there’s a higher demand for buses for events like bar crawls on Dickson Street. 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 on a Tuesday or Wednesday to get the best rate.
Time of Day
Looking to save a few bucks on your Fayetteville bus rental? Try booking a daytime trip! Because charter buses and party buses are so popular for nights out, weddings, and concerts, most companies charge higher hourly rates during the evening (past 6 p.m.) 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. A daytime trip to Wilson Park could be more affordable!
Bus Amenities
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. And for party buses, features like onboard bars, premium sound systems, and fun lighting will affect the price. 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 even offer discounts if you book your bus at least six months in advance! Just ask your Bus Rental Company Fayetteville representative if you qualify!
Cost-Saving Tips to Consider
Want to save a little on your next Fayetteville bus rental? It’s much easier than you might think! Here are a few tips to get the best possible price on your rental. First, 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. Also, book early, especially during the busy months of April, May, and June. Reduce the number of hotel rooms you need to book by choosing a destination city near your start city, and inquire with your hotel about complimentary parking options for your bus to avoid extra fees.
