Charter Bus Woodbury works with many different bus companies across Minnesota, 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. And there are also special packages like one-ways, and round trips that we also offer. Again, this all varies depending on many different factors — now let’s take a look at some of them!
Travel Distance and Time
Woodbury bus rentals are priced by the hour, day, or mileage, depending on your specific travel plan. One-off trips that are short and don’t leave Woodbury will be calculated by the hour. On average, most Woodbury charter bus companies require a minimum amount of hours, but if your journey requires less time on the road, your Charter Bus Woodbury 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 at Minneapolis Convention Center Or a sports tournament that takes several days of driving between Minnesota and Wisconsin—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 (like shuttling guests between hotels), your rate will also likely be based on daily charges.
Long-distance road trips where you won’t be staying in Woodbury 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.
Seasonal Adjustments
Another thing that impacts the cost of your Woodbury bus rental is when you are traveling. Some times of year, such as April, May, June, September, and October tend to be more expensive for Woodbury 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 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 Woodbury charter bus rental more difficult and pricier. Always check Woodbury’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 subjected to additional charges for unexpected mileage.
Pick-Up Location and Availability
If your travel itinerary includes a start point in an area with low availability (usually the case for groups traveling in less-populated areas), Woodbury 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.
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.
Bus Model and Group Size
The most obvious difference that will influence your bus rental cost is what type of Woodbury bus you’ll need to book, along with what special amenities you need on board. And since we have sprinter vans, minibuses, party buses and charter buses, you’ll have lots of options to choose from. Regardless, we have an online quote tool that can show you live pricing & ability of all the options available for your date — so comparing the different options is easy!
Let’s start with the party buses. A smaller party bus can typically seat between 10 to 20 passengers, while some of the larger options in our network can accommodate over 40 people. Luxury buses, which may have features like wraparound leather seating, hardwood flooring, and more, will come at a higher price than more standard bus models. And as you can imagine, newer nicer buses will cost more than older models. On newer party buses, you may find additional amenities like Bluetooth speakers, Smart TVs and more that older models don’t always have. You can easily price shop all our different options right from your phone — just fill out our online quote tool to see the different options.
And for Woodbury charter buses & minibuses – a full-sized motorcoach may be your best choice for long-distance trips (since they have luggage compartments/restrooms/more), though if you are sticking to short-distance local travels, consider renting a minibus instead. Minibuses usually have lower hourly and daily rates than Woodbury motorcoaches, but it depends.
Choosing a Travel Day
Weekend rentals (Friday, Saturday, Sunday) are generally more expensive than those booked on weekdays (Monday-Thursday). When there’s less demand for Woodbury bus rentals, like during weekdays (and as long as you aren’t booking around 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 Departure
Looking to save a few bucks on your Woodbury 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.
Onboard Amenities and Accommodations
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 Woodbury bus quote.
Additional Fees
Your quote may not include road tolls, tip and parking fees. 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.
