What Factors Affect the Cost of a Charter Bus?

Let’s take a closer look at some of the common factors that determine charter bus pricing for Nashville trips:

Group Size

One of the biggest variables affecting cost is how many people are riding. Groups exceeding 56 passengers will require multiple buses, naturally increasing the total rental price. On the smaller end, a minibus for 25 riders will be more affordable than a 56-passenger coach. Be sure to provide an accurate headcount when requesting your quote.

Bus Type

Along with passenger capacity, the style of vehicle impacts pricing. Luxury coaches with upgraded amenities cost more than basic buses. Minibuses are generally cheaper than full-size coaches. Let us know if you prefer a basic or premium charter bus.

Trip Duration

When preparing a quote for your Nashville charter bus rental, we first look at the pickup location, drop off destination, and the duration of your trip. Buses can be rented hourly, daily, or by mileage depending on your specific needs. For traveling locally around Nashville to hit a few honky tonks or catch a Predators game, we charge by the hour with a 4 hour minimum to make the trip worthwhile. A day trip to downtown Nashville from surrounding cities like Clarksville, Murfreesboro, or Franklin would be priced by the day since you’ll need the bus for 8+ hours. For an extended multi-day trip with stops along the way, such as Nashville to Memphis to see Graceland, we charge by mileage to account for the 200+ miles traveled. Road trips to other major cities like Atlanta, Louisville, Knoxville, or Birmingham will also be priced by mileage. We’re happy to work with you to create a custom quote based on your unique route, group size, vehicle, and travel dates.

Mileage

In addition to time, the distance traveled affects charter bus prices. Cross-country trips cost more than rides within the same city. Provide pickup/drop-off addresses so we can calculate total mileage.

Peak Seasons

Like airlines and hotels, bus rental prices surge during high-demand seasons. Traveling in spring, summer or around major holidays will be more expensive. Book 6+ months out if traveling in peak seasons.

Amenities

Basic buses with just seats keep costs low. Adding amenities like restrooms, TVs, WiFi, etc. increases the price but provides more comforts. Know which features are priorities so we can find the right bus at the right price.

Time of Booking

The availability of charter buses in your starting city plays a big role in determining your final rental quote. Here in Tennessee, our buses are stationed across the state in all major cities like Memphis, Nashville, Knoxville, Chattanooga, and Clarksville, so no matter where your trip originates, we’ve got you covered. But demand does fluctuate by location – for example, larger metropolitan areas like Nashville and Memphis have the highest demand, simply because they have larger populations needing charter bus services. On the other hand, some smaller cities or suburbs may have fewer buses available due to lower demand. The supply of buses affects pricing too – when there are fewer buses in an area, companies may charge a premium since the supply is lower than average. One other factor is deadhead miles – the miles our bus needs to travel from our hub to your starting location while empty. The farther this distance, the higher your quote will be to cover gas and time. For example, if we drive from Nashville to Knoxville (184 miles) to pick your group up and then drive to Memphis (211 miles), that’s nearly 400 miles of deadhead! But don’t worry, we have buses positioned all over to minimize deadhead and keep your rental affordable.
