US Coachways has announced that people can find a bus charter rental that fits their budget by using the company website’s Cost Calculator page. People can use the calculator by simply entering certain details of the bus trip that they are planning. The details include whether it is a day trip, an overnight trip, or a one way trip. Also needed are the pickup address, pickup date, pickup time, the number of passengers, the drop off address, and the departure date and time from destination.
Joseph Jacovino, spokesperson for US Coachways, says, “With our Cost Calculator, you will be able to estimate the bus rental costs for your planned trip. Furthermore, we also provide a price match guarantee. Those who require this will be sent messages related to their quote, including four marketing messages for the first month and one message per month on promotions and discounts thereafter.”
Joseph Jacovino points out that charter bus travel offers the best value compared to any other mode of transportation. This is because a fixed price is charged for the coach, which means that the more people who are traveling, the less each person will pay. Also, fixed costs such as parking, gas and highway tolls are shared.
There are several factors that can affect charter bus rental pricing. Key factors include when people want to travel and where they are going and how long they’ll be there. When people want to travel is a vital factor because there are off-seasons and peak seasons for bus charters. Seasonal variations are dependent on geography. For example, during winter, there is a higher demand for charter bus rental in Florida compared to New England. On the other hand, during summer, more people want to travel to New York City compared to Phoenix, Arizona.
Meanwhile, the destination and how long the travelers will be there will also affect the price. Typically, the charter bus rental fees will be based either on the amount of time that the bus is used or by the total number of miles traveled. If the intention is to travel only for a few hours, the price will be calculated using an hourly rate, although there is usually a minimum number of hours, with five hours being the standard. On the other hand, if the travel will last for one whole day, the price will be calculated based on the number of miles.
If the trip involves being gone overnight or necessitates an overnight stay, the price will be based on the number of days. Also, if the travelers have overnight accommodations anywhere, the costs of lodging for the driver(s) will be added to the total cost. It should also be noted that because of government regulations, charter bus drivers cannot be on the road for more than 10 hours consecutively without at least eight hours off. Thus, travelers will need to have an additional driver if they don't want eight hour stops.
It should also be noted that the number of travelers will specify the kind of coach to be rented. Different buses have different capacities for the number of people and also have different pricing. The total cost will also be affected if the travelers have special needs. Most charter buses have WiFi, DVD players, and smartphone hookups. However, if additional features are required, such as on-board restroom facilities, these will add to the total cost.
The company originated in 1983 when they offered a commuter bus service to and from New York City. It was almost 15 years ago when the founders established US Coachways in response to the explosive growth of the Internet, which allowed them to expand their business nationwide. At present, they serve 21,000 events and provide more than 25,000 bus rentals each year.
