Call Now: 949-792-5530What are the Factors Influencing Irvine Bus Rental Pricing?
Charter Bus Rental Company Irvine partners with tons of bus providers in California, and prices may vary based on each. Prices depend on whether your group books by day, hour, or mile, and the details of your itinerary. So call us for your pricing at 949-792-5530 and get started!
Factors That Determine the Length of Your Trip
Irvine bus rental are priced by day, hour, or mileage depending on your trip plan. Local, shorter trips (like weddings shuttles or nights out) are calculated by the hour with a minimum, which may vary depending on the vendor. Trips over multiple days—like conferences or sports tournaments—are charged by the day. Long-distance journeys between cities across the state or further are typically charged by mileage. Provide all the locations on your itinerary with exact addresses to get the most estimated quote.
The Time of Year and Peak Travel Seasons
When you travel can impact how much your bus rental costs in Irvine! Certain months of the year, such as April, May, June, and September through October, tend to be more costly than others for an Irvine charter bus. This is usually due to the high-volume demand for prom dances, spring break trips, graduations, wedding celebrations, and conferences. And if there are any local conventions or events taking place during your Irvine trip, these may impact the pricing.
Location and How Easy the Bus Is to Rent
Starting your trip outside Irvine? Your final bus rental price may be higher depending on availability in that area. Less popular pick-up locations like smaller California towns can come with increased charter bus rental costs because of the demand. You could also be charged more if your driver has to drive a significant amount of miles with no passengers to pick you up. (Deadhead mileage fees apply for the driver’s mileage and travel time required before hitting the roads on your route.)
The Bus Type, Size and Other Features
Whether you need an 18 passenger minibus, a full-size 56 passenger charter bus or a Mercedes sprinter party bus, Charter Bus Rental Company Irvine can help you find the bus that accommodates your group’s number of passengers. Price will also depend on whether you’re renting a small, standard, or large party bus and any optional amenities like LED lights, wraparound seating, and bar areas. Newer buses or more luxury bus types may also cost more due to upkeep costs. Newer party buses also come with additional high-tech features that older buses do not always offer, such as Bluetooth speakers or USB charging ports at every seat. If you’re seeking a charter bus for a long-distance trip from Irvine, rent one with an onboard restroom to eliminate multiple bathroom breaks. Or consider a sprinter party bus for quick event shuttles in Irvine and Orange County!
Which Day of the Week You Rent
On average, weekend rentals (Friday-Sunday) usually are more expensive in Irvine than those reserved Monday-Thursday, assuming there isn’t a local event occurring. If your trip isn’t scheduled around any holidays or major city events (like a concert or Angel’s Game) and can be flexible with travel dates, you might be able to get a more affordable price on your Irvine party bus during the week. Demand for party buses and shuttles in Irvine and other SoCal cities is highest Friday—Sunday evenings, so it can be especially hard to book a charter bus in Irvine during peak weekend times. And during these higher-demand times, expect a minimum hourly rental limit and additional fees applied to every hour traveled.
What Time of Day You Travel
Want to cut down on some party bus costs? Try having your Irvine celebration during the day instead of in the evening. Evening travel are the most popular for private parties and charter bus outings. For these occasions, Irvine bus providers tend to increase their prices and raise hourly rate limits after 6pm on weekdays and throughout the weekend. Consider planning your special event for a Monday or Wednesday to enjoy reduced hourly minimum limits for your charter bus.
Amenities That Will Improve Your Bus Rental Experience
When you call our offices, your reservation specialist can walk you through what amenities each charter bus and party bus has available. These amenities can vary, based on type of bus and company offering the bus. But, typically most will have many of the same: wifi, power outlets, cushioned/wraparound seating, privacy dividers and more. Typically WiFi and onboard restrooms are available at no additional cost on each charter bus in our network. Other amenities can be requested for an additional charge like luggage racks, extra legroom, or wheelchair access. Other extra features include leather seats, climate controls, and flat-screen TVs. If you need additional requests, your reservation representative will help you select the right bus or create an accurate quote for your bus rental cost.
Factor In Some Additional Expenses
Your Irvine charter bus rental or party bus estimate may not include tip fees or parking fees. These can typically range between 10% and 20% of your bus rental total cost and usually are handled during your day-of transportation with your driver. Most parking around Irvine is around $20 to $50 per spot and should be reserved beforehand. Parking lots will rarely be at the front door of your destination so factor that time into your itinerary as well. Road tolls are a fairly unusual extra charge for most Irvine local trips and typically only apply for road trips across state lines. For longer journeys, some vendors may request additional costs for lodging and transportation for your driver(s). It’s important to have these things in mind when deciding on a budget for your group trip!
Tips to Cut Down on Some Costs
If you want to minimize your Irvine bus rental quote, here are some considerations to have in mind to keep you bus traveling within budget:
- Finalize your passenger headcount in advance to know which type of vehicle you need for the journey.
- Reduce deadhead costs by finding bus rental companies near your pick-up or drop-off location.
- Reduce additional charges like hotel accommodations by choosing a destination near your starting point or requesting a single-day rental instead of an overnighter.
- Avoid high-demand traffic times by arranging your trip earlier in the day, which may reduce your minimum hours for rent.
- Plan in advance to have your trip planned out during lower-demand seasons and earlier in the day for weekdays or off-season travel periods.
