Bus Rental Company St. Louis partners with many great bus companies throughout Missouri, which means each of our providers has slightly different pricing and rates. We will work with you to always find the best deal for your charter bus rental in St. Louis. Pricing is determined by whether your group will be quoted by the day, hour, or by the mile. For example, a local bar hop around Soulard will probably be charged hourly, whereas a multi-day trip for a Cardinals vs Cubs game will be charged by the day. Each type of trip is unique, and below, we will discuss some of the most important factors that go into determining a price quote.
Your Trip’s Distance and Duration
Your bus rental price will largely depend on how you will be charged for your trip: by the hour, day, or mile. For shorter, local trips such as a field trip to the Gateway Arch or a ride from your hotel to the airport, your trip will likely be priced per hour with a set minimum number of hours. This is usually around five, but every charter bus company is different. For longer, multi-day trips such as a weekend-long business convention at The Dome at America’s Center, you will most likely be charged by the day. And for one-way, long-distance trips, such as from St. Louis to Chicago, your bus rental will be priced per mile.
The Time of Year
The time of year of your travel, sometimes referred to as seasonality, has a major effect on the St. Louis bus rentals. High-demand months like April, May, and June lead to higher charter rental prices because of all the events going on, like prom, graduations, and weddings. Even different events at a certain time of year, such as Cardinals games during the summer, can cause a price surge.
Other events around St.. Louis, such as Riot Grrrl fest and Shakespeare Festival St. Louis, also draw big crowds in the summer and can make bus rental prices higher. Be sure to look at what’s going on in St. Louis when planning to book your charter bus rental!
The Day of the Week You Travel
What day of the week you travel on plays a big part in charter bus pricing as well. Weekend rentals, from Friday night to Sunday night, will typically have higher rates and even higher minimum rental hours. That’s because most group events, and thus the most demand, occur on weekends. Bachelorette parties on the Delmar Loop, rehearsal dinners in the Central West End, wedding shuttles to Hermann Hill, you name it, all typically happen on the weekend. If for any reason your trip can happen during the weekday instead of the weekend (like for a brewery tour), a weekday trip will most likely be lower in price.
Your Starting and Ending Locations
The bus will need to get from its parking location to your group’s pickup spot. So if that requires a long distance of travel, you will be charged for it. This is a common industry practice known as a “deadhead.” The good news is. We have partnered with charter bus companies all throughout St. Louis and the rest of Missouri. This means, no matter where you are or where you are going, we can find a charter bus rental by you, saving you money on the cost of your deadhead. Just be sure to provide your reservation specialist with the exact address of where you will need your bus, as this will help them find the right one for you!
The Type and Size of Your Bus
One of the biggest factors in a price quote is which charter bus rental you rent and what amenities you want on board. A larger bus rental, such as a 56-passenger charter bus, will naturally cost a little more than one of the smaller minibus options like an 18-passenger charter bus. In addition, the more amenities you choose to add on, the higher the price will get. You can add WiFi, TVs, a PA system, and even an onboard restroom if you are traveling with a large group and/or over a long distance. To find out what we offer, you can use our 30-second online quote tool from the convenience of your own home!
Other Costs to Consider: Tolls and Parking
There are some things that we are not able to include in our initial quote, such as parking and tolls. For example, if you are looking to get your own designated parking space for a major event like a Cardinals baseball game at Busch Stadium, you may need to purchase your own pass separately on the website and give it to your driver. In the event of a multi-day trip and stay, such as a business conference you are attending, it will also be your responsibility to pay for your bus driver’s accommodations, such as hotel arrangements.
