What are the Factors Influencing Medford Bus Rental Pricing?

Charter Bus Medford works with many different bus companies across Oregon, and each provider has slightly different rates. But generally, pricing is determined by whether your group is quoted by the day, hour, or mile based on what kind of travel plan your group has in mind. The price per hour is usually only used for local trips that last several hours. Multi-day trips are more often quoted by the day. Again, this all varies depending on many different factors — now let’s take a look at some of them!

Trip Mileage and Time

Medford 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 (aka local trips) will be likely calculated by the hour. On average, most Medford charter bus companies require a minimum amount of hours, but if your journey requires less time on the road, your Charter Bus Medford 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 convention or a sports tournament that takes several days of driving between cities and states — 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. Additional costs not included in the quote include but are not limited to overnight lodging for your driver, meals for everyone onboard, and event tickets.

Seasonal Pricing

Another factor to consider when calculating the cost of your Medford bus rental is seasonality. Some times of year, such as April, May, June, September, and October tend to be more expensive for charter buses due to limited bus availability. The increased demand in bus rentals for these months is due to several events and happenings, such as proms, school field trips, wedding ceremonies, bachelor and bachelorette parties, and more. Major events can also cause a spike in price and lower availability.

If your trip happens to be around a major event or a popular sporting event, demand may increase, making securing a Medford 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 to make your reservation so you won’t be subjected to additional charges for unexpected mileage.

Reserving Buses in Medford

If your travel itinerary includes a start point in an area with low availability, Medford charter bus pricing can increase. Additionally, if you are trying to book in these areas with short notice, your rate may increase due to less availability.

Additionally, you may encounter fees for “deadhead” mileage, the distance it takes for a bus to arrive at your pickup location. To reduce this cost, try to reserve a bus from a charter bus company that operates near your group’s pickup or dropoff location. However, Charter Bus Medford has a network of more than 1000 buses, so we can often pair you with the closest bus company to your destinations to minimize deadhead costs.

Bus Types Available to Rent in Medford

The type and size of the Medford bus you rent will impact the overall cost. If you have a smaller group of around 15 to 35 people or are traveling shorter distances, a minibus rental in Medford is a great option. It offers many of the comforts and conveniences of a full-sized charter bus rental, including a driver and amenities like WiFi, luggage storage, power outlets, A/C, and more. Those traveling with larger groups or specialty items, such as military or groups, would benefit from renting a full-size charter bus in Medford. These charter buses can accommodate up to 56 passengers easily, and come with added amenities like an onboard restroom or ADA-accessible features. Other vehicle types like party buses and sprinter vans are available to rent, too!

Booking on Weekdays vs Weekends

Weekend rentals (Friday, Saturday, Sunday) are generally more expensive than those booked on weekdays (Monday-Thursday). When there’s less demand for Medford bus rentals, like during weekdays (and as long as you aren’t booking around a big game day or a holiday), 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 for your Medford Trip

Looking to save a few bucks on your Medford bus rental? Try booking a daytime trip! Because charter buses & party buses are so popular for nights out, weddings, bachelor/ette parties, and concerts—most companies charge higher hourly rates during the evening (past 6pm) 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.

Comfort & Convenience 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.

Costs Not Included in your Bus Quote

Your quote won’t include road tolls, tip, parking fees, and other incidentals. 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.

Saving Money on a Charter bus Rental in Medford

Want to save a little on your next Medford bus rental? It’s easy! 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 for your group. Reduce deadhead mileage by booking a bus that’s already located in the city you are leaving from. (Remember, deadhead refers to mileage that accumulates without passengers.) Book early, especially during the busy months of April, May, and June. Reduce the number of hotel rooms you need to book for your driver by choosing a destination city near your start city and reduce the amount of days you need your charter bus rental to avoid additional costs for lodging. Find venues with easy parking access for oversize vehicles and inquire with your hotel about complimentary parking options for your bus.
