How Far You’re Going and How Long You’ll Need the Bus
Prices for a Staten Island party bus rental depends on a few things: where you’re going, how long you’ll be traveling, and whether you’re charged by hour, day, or mileage. Short, sweet, local one-off trips that are short and stay in town are calculated by the hour. However, most charter bus companies in Staten Island have a minimum number of hours for rental. Multi-day excursions, such as a convention at the Javits Center or a school field trip, will most likely be charged by the day. If your trip doesn’t go too far but still requires several days in a row of transportation services, such as shuttling for the NYC Marathon, then you’ll likely be charged a daily rate for those consecutive days.
When You Are Traveling (Seasonality)
Booking a party bus around a big event like prom or homecoming? Demand for buses tends to be higher during certain times of the year like in spring (prom/homecoming season), summer, and around major holidays. And in busy cities such as New York City, availability is more limited. Call us to book your bus and inquire early (especially if traveling around the busy months of April-June). This will you get an amazing bus at a fair price.
Where You Are Going and How Many Buses are Available
If you’re traveling from an area with limited bus providers, you’re more likely to run into a lower availability, which will be reflected in your price quote. The price of buses will vary depending on where your trip starts. If you’re in a smaller city like Staten Island, your rate will likely be a bit higher than in larger cities like Chicago and New York City.
What Type of Bus and What Size is Best For You
Smaller party buses that fit 10 to 25 passengers can cost between $150 to $300 an hour, with larger buses costing closer to $300 or more an hour, depending on which company you book with and the types of amenities you request. When renting larger buses, most models can seat 30-40 passengers, though high-capacity 56 passenger party buses are an additional option. On newer models of party bus, you may find additional features and amenities, which may be reflected in their rental rates. Be sure to ask if your bus rental company provides a discount if you prepay or reserve months in advance.
When You Need the Bus
If you’re traveling during the weekend (Friday through Sunday), you may run into a slightly higher rate compared to those who book during the week. During high-volume rental weekends, many party bus companies enforce a higher minimum hour rate for reservations, too. Additionally, if your trip is on a holiday like Memorial Day, Fourth of July, or during times of high demand such as prom, your rate might go up as well. Another reason for a higher price is if the venue is located far from where the party bus is parked or your drop-off point. This mileage without passengers (often called “deadhead mileage”) may result in additional fees to your rental.
What Time of Day Do You Want to Party?
Time is money, folks! If you need a party bus or charter bus rental at night (typically any time after 6 p.m.), you’ll likely run into higher rates, as opposed to daytime rentals. Especially Friday and Saturday nights, most party bus companies are swamped with reservations for events like weddings, bachelor parties, or birthdays, which usually require evening travel. If you are able, plan to celebrate earlier in the week or at least before nightfall to potentially see lower prices.
What Amenities Do You Want Onboard Your Party Bus?
Each party bus includes standard features and amenities like reclining seats, climate control, overhead storage, a PA system, and radio or CD players, though the specific offerings and models vary depending on the provider. Other features and amenities will increase the price of your charter bus or party bus rental, including onboard restrooms, WiFi, televisions with DVD players, and electrical outlets. Make sure you’re getting exactly what you want—tell our reservation specialists about any requests your group may have, and we’ll connect you with the right transportation partner.
What Other Costs Should I Remember?
When planning for your trip, don’t forget to include any additional expenses into your budget. A driver’s tip (10%-20% of your total fare) is usually not part of your initial price quote, but should still be a part of your projected transportation budget. The same goes for parking fees, which you should inquire about and pay before your trip begins.
If you’re planning a long-distance party bus trip that requires an overnight stay, your charter bus or party bus company will require you to book a minimum 3-star or higher hotel or lodging space for your bus driver’s stay. This cost is separate from your rental fee, and is separate for additional drivers in your group if multiple drivers are required for longer distances.
How Can I Save Money on My Party Bus or Charter Bus?
Need to save some money on your next party bus rental? It’s easier than you might think. Here are a few tips that will help you get the best possible price on your next bus rental. Get the headcount finalized early, so your rental provider doesn’t need to switch out your bus to fit unexpected extra passengers. If you don’t need to travel very far, rent a bus from a provider located near you, rather than asking for a bus that might be coming from a neighboring city. This will keep down the “deadhead” mileage costs (remember, “deadhead” is bus mileage with no passengers onboard). If you can, book your charter bus or party bus at least 6 months in advance, especially if you’re booking in a densely populated area or during high-demand months. Reduce overnight stays for your driver. Limit your journey to one area or destination, preferably in the general area of your start city or pickup spot. Try to pick venues with bus parking options so that you don’t have to pay extra parking fees.
