What are the Factors Influencing Somerville Bus Rental Pricing?

Somerville bus rental rates are usually based on trip specifics. When you contact our reservation specialists, they’ll create a custom quote based on your itinerary and transportation needs. Whether you’re staying local or taking a road trip to NYC, Boston, or Baltimore, we’ll create a custom plan just for you!

Travel Distance and Time

Somerville bus rentals are priced by the hour, day, or mileage. Local trips that last a few hours will be charged by the hour, with most companies requiring a 5-hour minimum. Multiple day events or long-distance travels will usually be charged by the day or per mile, respectively. Longer trips mean additional costs for food, tolls, overnight stays for your driver, and any other costs incurred during travel.

Seasonal Availability

The time of year is another important factor that will determine your bus rental cost in Somerville. Popular times of year, including spring and summer or during big events in Boston, can decrease bus availability and increase rental costs due to higher demand. Book your trip at least 3–6 months in advance to book the best deal.

Pickup and Dropoff Locations

The location where you’ll need to be picked up and dropped off, and the distance between your pickup/drop-off location and your driver’s home base, can affect the price of your bus rental. Mileage that accumulates without passengers on board is known as “deadhead” and will be charged to your trip, so we do our best to pair you with the closest bus company to your destinations to keep these costs low. If your location has low bus availability, your costs may also increase, or your trip may not be possible.

Bus Types and Sizes

Your charter bus rental price will change depending on the type of vehicle and how many seats you need. A minibus rental can seat between 18 and 35 passengers and offers basic amenities for comfort while being cost-effective for short trips. For bigger groups or longer trips across New Jersey, you can book a full-size charter bus to comfortably seat up to 56 passengers. For those times when you want something unique, we even have party buses with fun extras like laser lights and bar areas! We can also easily create a fleet of charter buses, minibuses, or a mixture of both to accommodate your needs.

Weekday vs. Weekend Travel

Party and charter bus companies usually charge more for weekend trips because most events happen on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. These businesses will also increase the minimum hourly rental and overall rate on weekends. Try changing your itinerary to a weekday to reduce the cost of your Somerville bus rental if you’re traveling for a small event like a birthday trip.

Daytime vs. Nighttime Service

Most groups travel on charter buses at night—especially for weddings, proms, parties, concerts, and other nighttime events. Since demand for party and charter buses goes up at night and on weekends, prices usually go up, too. If you are planning an outing that doesn’t require traveling at night, consider a daytime trip to keep your bus rental price as low as possible.

On-Board Charter bus Amenities

Most of our rental providers give a wide range of amenities available upon request. Many models of charter bus rental include free WiFi, climate control, overhead storage for luggage and personal items, and the services of a driver. Additional amenities like restrooms and flat-screen TVs with a DVD player may be subject to extra fees. Request any amenities you’d like when you call to book and we’ll make sure the features you need are included in your bus rental quote.

Gratuity, Tolls, and Parking

Miscellaneous costs to consider when planning a charter bus trip are driver gratuity, toll charges, and parking fees. Gratuity is typically 10-20% of your rental cost. For trips with tolls or a route with toll roads, these fees will need to be paid out-of-pocket as they occur. Parking may be available at locations like hotels and event venues. Just call ahead to make sure there’s enough space for your bus.

Ways To Save Money on your Rental

  • Here are a few simple tricks to maximize your bus rental budget:
  • Finalize your headcount and itinerary before calling. This helps us find the best bus and prevents upcharges for extra stops and mileage.
  • Book your bus early. Bus availability goes down during the busy months of April, May, and June—so plan ahead and reserve your bus at least six months in advance.
  • Choose the right bus for your needs. Minibuses are cheaper than full-size charter bus rentals.
  • Plan your trip for a weekday or during the day to avoid additional fees.
  • Ask venues about overnight parking so your driver doesn’t need to book a hotel room.
