The cost of a charter bus rental in Miami depends on numerous factors that are outlined below. But for a rough price estimate, you can check the Miami charter bus pricing guide below.**
Our seasoned team of customer service specialists takes into account several variables when determining your Miami charter bus rental cost.
Seasonality: Certain months in Miami are more popular than others for group travel. Summer months (May through July) are popular due to school graduations, summer vacations, weddings, etc. If you can be flexible with your travel date(s), booking a charter bus in Miami during the off-season could help you save money.
Distance: Miami charter buses in our network are booked by either the day, the mile, or the hour. Our team takes into consideration your group’s itinerary and breaks up the price of your rental accordingly. They will clearly name every cost associated with your rental so that you aren’t blindsided by anything and will be happy to answer any questions you have during the process.
Number of passengers: This piece of information is one of the most important factors when determining the cost of your Miami charter bus rental. We have a wide range of bus options in our network, and each one accommodates anywhere from 13 to 56 passengers and comes with a host of amenities. Finalize your passenger count and you will be matched with a Miami bus rental in our network that can comfortably accommodate your group.
Parking and other fees: While we determine the best routes for your group based on the itinerary you give us, you’ll still need to factor in the cost of any parking garages, toll fees, and gas for the charter bus. If you have an overnight trip planned or will be driving more than 10 consecutive hours, your charter bus driver is legally required to take an 8-hour break, so you will want to factor in the cost of a hotel room for your driver, also.
A tip for your charter bus driver: While tipping your charter bus driver is not required, they work very hard and a good tip is always appreciated. Most groups tip their charter bus driver anywhere from 5 to 10 percent of the cost of their charter bus rental in cash at the end of the trip for a job well done.
There’s no gatekeeping here. We want you to get the most out of your experience with us, so we are sharing some of our top tips for how to save money on a Miami charter bus.
One of the best ways to get the best price on a Miami charter bus is to make sure your itinerary is finalized before you book. While our scheduling is flexible and you are able to make changes to your original route if need be, any extra mileage can be subject to extra fees. Also, if you end up having fewer people than originally planned, you could end up with a bigger bus than you needed. For example, you could end up with a 25-passenger minibus instead of a smaller, cheaper 20-passenger minibus.
Another great way to save money is to call as far in advance as possible. This is especially important if you have an event during peak months. We can get you a charter bus in Miami at the drop of a hat, including emergency evacuation charter buses. But if you are able to call further in advance, there will likely be better availability, leading to better pricing.
Lastly, try to nickel and dime where you can—it all adds up. If you’re having an overnight trip, try to see if the hotel you are staying at has a discount on rates for your driver’s room. Ask the Miami Charter Bus Rental team when you call to see if we are running specials or promotions. Like we said, we want you to be satisfied with our service and won’t gatekeep.
