There are several factors that can influence the price of your charter bus rental—here are some of the most important ones:

• Time of year: The busiest season for charter bus rentals in Michigan is April through June. This is when proms, graduations, and spring breaks happen and when schools and universities are still in session. If you’re renting a bus during this time, you can expect higher rates due to increased demand.
• Type and size of bus: Larger buses like a 56-passenger motorcoach will generally cost more than smaller minibuses because they offer more seating and amenities. However, the cost per person may actually decrease with a larger bus since the price is split among more passengers.
• Number of days: Multi-day trips will be charged by the day, while short local trips may be billed hourly. Be sure to provide an accurate itinerary so you get an exact quote.
• Pickup location: If your trip starts outside of Grand Rapids (for example, in Lansing, Kalamazoo, or Muskegon), you may be charged for the mileage it takes to get the bus to your location. This is called deadhead and it’s important to factor it into your budget.
• Additional expenses: Tolls, parking fees, and driver lodging are not included in the base price. You’ll need to pay for these separately, either in advance or during the trip. Drivers also require hotel accommodations on overnight trips.
