What Affects the Price of a Charter Bus Rental?

We at Boulder Charter Bus Services know that the first question many travelers have is “how much will my charter bus cost?” We believe in transparent, all-inclusive pricing that is personalized to each group’s unique travel needs. When you call our 24-hour reservation team, we’ll take into account the following factors when building your custom quote:

  • Number of passengers—The headcount of your group is the best way to determine what size of charter bus or minibus you’ll need for your travels, which can affect your overall rate.
  • Type of bus—The more passengers you have, the larger your motorcoach will need to be—and the higher your rental cost will be. Also, if you request a bus with specific amenities, that can affect your overall rate.
  • Time of year—If you’re planning to travel during peak season, such as during summer vacation or around a major sporting event, you can expect to pay more for your bus rental.
  • Trip duration—Most Boulder charter bus rental rates are determined by the hour, by the day, or by the mile. We’ll select the rate plan that makes the most sense for your trip details.
  • Distance traveled—Local travel within Boulder city limits is often less expensive than long-distance road trips across the state.
  • Once we have your itinerary, headcount, and must-have amenities, we can provide a no-obligation quote that’s tailored to your group. Best of all, your Boulder bus rental quote will be all-inclusive—so you’ll never have to worry about hidden fees or surprise expenses at the end of your trip!
