Pricing Considerations that Impact Your Eugene Bus Rentals
The price table above is provided as a helpful guide, but it is not a final quote. Your price quote is customized to your group’s needs and may vary depending on the bus model you choose.
To calculate the cost of your charter bus rental, our 24/7 reservation specialists consider these factors:
- Season: Your bus rental cost may be influenced by when you travel. For example, a trip during peak seasons like summer and the holiday season may incur higher pricing due to demand.
- Trip Length and Destinations: From single-day trips to year-long bus rentals, your trip duration will impact your bus cost. So, a single-day trip will typically cost less than a year-long shuttle rental for a remote worksite.
- Headcount: Your final price quote is dependent on the number of passengers riding a bus rental in Eugene. For example, if your team of 20 is reserving a charter bus, a 20-passenger minibus will likely be more budget-friendly than a full-sized charter bus.
- When you book: Our experts look at when you book vs when your trip occurs to determine your charter bus pricing. Pro tip: The earlier you book, the cheaper the bus rental!
At Eugene Charter Bus Company, we pride ourselves on clear pricing and quotes. That’s why your charter bus price quote includes the hourly and/or the daily rental rate, trained driver fees, gas, and full-coverage insurance, so that you never have to worry about what’s included.
However, we do not include these potential costs in your Eugene charter bus price quote:
- Tip for your trained driver
- Accommodations for professional drivers for multi-day trips
- Parking Fees
- Road Tolls ( if necessary)
Although gratuity is not required, we suggest tipping your driver 5%-10% of the total cost of your charter bus rental to show your gratitude for their safe and smooth driving.
Whenever you’re ready, call our reservations team at (541) 320-7862 and share your itinerary details to secure your Eugene charter bus price quote in minutes!
