Trip Mileage and Duration

Jonesboro 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 will be calculated by the hour. On average, most charter bus companies require a minimum number of hours to book, but if your journey requires less time on the road, your Charter Bus Jonesboro 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 church trip or family vacation—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, 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. Don’t forget to factor in additional costs for meals for everyone onboard, overnight lodging for your driver, and event tickets. It’s always easier to calculate a budget if you’ve written all your projected costs down.

Seasonal Travel Times

Another thing that impacts the cost of your bus rental is when you are traveling. Some times of the year, such as April, May, and June, tend to be more expensive due to limited bus availability. The increased demand for these months is due to several special events and happenings, such as proms, graduations, summer vacations, and wedding ceremonies. Major events like local fairs and festivals can also cause a spike in price and lower availability.

If your trip happens to be around a major event, demand may increase, making securing a Jonesboro 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 subject to additional charges for unexpected mileage. The good news is, we can easily work around your trip’s requirements and requests for a truly personalized travel experience.

Pick-Up and Drop-Off Locations

If your travel itinerary includes a start point in an area with low availability, Jonesboro bus rental 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 Jonesboro has a statewide network of more than 3,000 buses, so we can often pair you with the closest bus company to your destinations to minimize deadhead costs.

Bus Models and Seating Arrangements

You can choose from all kinds of different buses — including charter buses, minibuses, party buses, sprinter vansschool buses and even more. When it comes to the type of charter bus that you will be renting in Jonesboro, there are a variety of options and the price can vary depending on the specifics of your trip. Smaller groups will benefit from the smaller models of minibus, which come in sizes that accommodate anywhere from 15 to 35 passengers. A full-sized charter bus, on the other hand, can fit 56 passengers comfortably and is perfect for bigger groups or those who need more space and features like luggage storage and a restroom on board.

If your group is celebrating something special or hosting an important event, you can opt to rent a party bus for a one-of-a-kind experience. Smaller party buses fit 10 to 20 passengers, and larger buses can accommodate up to 50 people! These vehicles can also include premium features like mood lighting, wraparound seating, a bar area, and other fun add-ons. Pricing is comparable to standard charter buses, but you can also rent a more compact party vehicle, the Sprinter party bus. These can hold anywhere between 8 and 15 passengers and are great options for airport pickup or smaller celebrations.

Day of the Week Pricing

Weekend rentals (Friday, Saturday, Sunday) are generally more expensive than those booked on weekdays (Monday-Thursday). When there’s less demand for Jonesboro 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.

Time of Day Pricing

Looking to save a few bucks on your Jonesboro bus rental? Try booking a daytime trip! Because charter buses and party buses are so popular for nights out, 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. You may not be able to change your schedule to get a cheaper rate for events like a concert with set times, but a field trip or wedding could be more affordable in the daytime.

Comfort-Focused 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. 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 Jonesboro representative if you qualify!

Additional Fees

Your quote may not include additional costs like a driver’s tip, parking fees, and road tolls. 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.
