Steps for Getting a Charter Bus Quote:

Step 1: Plan Your Itinerary

Preparing a detailed travel itinerary will allow us to give you more accurate charter bus rental prices. You can make changes in your itinerary, but having as much information about specific destinations and times is a good start.

Before asking for a quote, have your itinerary with this information ready:

• A complete schedule with your group’s travel dates.
• The addresses of all your destinations.
• Both arrival and departure times are available at all your destinations.

Try to include as much information as possible when crafting your itinerary. That way, if you need to make changes along the way, you’ll have a list of information to refer to, and you can leave the rest to us!

Step 2: Know Your Group Size

Knowing how many people will be traveling is one of the most important things to do when selecting the right size bus for your group. The total headcount will allow us to choose the size and number of rentals you’ll need for your trip. 

Another important thing to remember is any special requirements your group may have. If you’re traveling with people who need accessibility features, we can find the right bus type or distribution for a safe and comfortable trip.

Our extensive directory includes companies offering many different vehicles, from motor coaches that can seat up to 61 passengers to cars and SUVs that can seat three to five passengers. We connect you with bus companies that accommodate all kinds of groups! 

Step 3: Accessible Features

At BusRates.com, we strive to provide listings that match everyone to the most comfortable buses regardless of their accessibility needs. If you’re traveling with someone with mobility issues, chronic illness or disabilities, we can get you an ADA-compliant bus.

Accessibility features include wheelchair lifts, wider aisles, designated seating, accessible restrooms and more! Bus operators can also ensure people with mobility challenges and chronic illnesses travel safely and comfortably by performing tasks such as providing comfort stops.

Step 4: Choose Extra Amenities

Our bus listings have a wide variety of amenities available, but not every bus is the same. Be sure to mention if your group will need any amenities for us to get the best bus for you. The most popular amenities included in charter busses include:

• Onboard Wi-Fi
• Onboard restrooms
• Comfort seats
• Outlets
• Overhead storage

You can also access different amenities depending on size. Minibuses often include amenities such as DVD screens and Wi-Fi but lack the space for onboard restrooms, whereas full-size buses have storage space beneath the bus.

If you plan to travel with kids, renting a bus with flat-screen TVs and movies will be the best choice to keep them entertained throughout the trip. If you’re on a business trip or want to optimize your time on the road to answer emails, you’ll want to have free Wi-Fi and outlets available.

Step 5: Request Your Quote

After you’ve gathered all the necessary information about your trip, including how many people will be traveling and their needs, as well as departure dates, addresses and times, you’re more than ready to get a quote. You can call our team at 703-838-2955, send us an email with your information at info@BusRates.com or fill out a free quote form.

From there, one of our team members will review the details of your trip and answer any questions you may have about finding the best rental for you. You’ll then have a completely personalized quote.

Step 6: Confirm Your Booking

If you like what you see after getting your personalized quote, you can confirm your trip and secure a reservation. You’ll need to put down a deposit to make a reservation for a charter bus. For most of our listings, an average of 30% of the total rental cost is required, but if you wish to know the exact number, you can let us know when you receive your quote.

Once you confirm your booking, our dedicated team will inform you of your payment deadlines and guide you through the whole process. Most of our partners request that you complete your payment around 30 days before the trip. 

A very important thing to know is that even at this stage, we offer full flexibility for any changes you may need and also offer solutions for last-minute bookings. All the information you need is just one phone call away before, during and after renting a bus through us.
