We work with many different bus companies across Ohio, 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, like a shuttle for a wedding or a trip to a Browns game. Multi-day trips are more often quoted by the day, and long-distance journeys might be priced by the mile. There are also special packages like one-ways and round trips that we also offer. This all varies depending on many different factors!
Trip Distance and Duration
Parma 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 likely be calculated by the hour. On average, most Parma bus companies require a minimum amount of hours, but if your journey requires less time on the road, your 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 conference or a sports tournament—are typically charged by the day. Long-distance road trips where you won’t be staying in one spot for too long will be charged by mileage.
Time of Year (Seasonality)
Another thing that impacts the cost of your bus rental is when you are traveling. Some times of year, such as April, May, and June, tend to be more expensive for Parma 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, and wedding ceremonies. Major local events or a big Guardians game day 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 Parma bus rental more difficult and pricier. It always helps to book early!
Location and Availability
If your travel itinerary includes a start point in an area with low availability, your Parma bus pricing can increase. Additionally, if you are trying to book in these areas with short notice, your rate may increase due to even less availability. You may also encounter additional fees if your bus has to travel a long distance from its home 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. Our statewide network means we can often pair you with the closest bus company to minimize these costs.
Bus Type and Size
The most obvious difference that will influence your bus rental cost is what type of 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. A full-sized motorcoach will be your best choice for long-distance trips, though if you are sticking to short-distance local travels, consider renting a minibus instead. Minibuses usually have lower hourly and daily rates than Parma motorcoaches. Luxury buses, which may have features like wraparound leather seating and hardwood flooring, will come at a higher price than more standard bus models. And as you can imagine, newer, nicer buses will cost more.
The Day of the Week
Weekend rentals (Friday, Saturday, Sunday) are generally more expensive than those booked on weekdays (Monday-Thursday). When there’s less demand for Parma 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 on a Tuesday or Wednesday to get the best rate. Prom season is especially busy, so book extra early for those spring weekends!
Time of Day
Looking to save a few bucks on your Parma bus rental? Try booking a daytime trip! Because charter buses & party buses are so popular for nights out, weddings, bachelor 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. You may not be able to change your schedule for a concert or sporting event, but a winery tour could be more affordable in the daytime.
Bus Amenities
Many amenities, such as plush seating and climate control, come standard on most bus models. Other amenities, like onboard restrooms, televisions with DVD players, and electrical outlets might come at an additional charge, depending on the vehicle you choose. For example, a full-sized motorcoach is more likely to have a restroom than a smaller minibus. If you have specific needs, like WiFi for a corporate trip or an ADA-accessible bus with a wheelchair lift, let your reservation specialist know when you call. We’ll make sure those requests are reflected in your bus quote and find the perfect vehicle that ticks every box for your group’s Parma bus rental.
Cost-Saving Tips
Want to save a little on your next Parma bus rental? It’s much easier than you might think! Here are a few tips to get the best possible price on your rental. First, have a finalized headcount before you book; adding people may require a larger bus and increase your cost. Try to book your trip as early as possible, especially during the busy months of April, May, and June. You can also reduce deadhead mileage by booking a bus that’s already located in the city you are leaving from. And finally, if your trip is flexible, try to schedule it on a weekday or during the daytime to take advantage of lower demand and potentially better rates.
