Trip Distance and Logistics
Charter Bus Napa works with bus companies throughout the state , and that means we can accommodate your group’s itinerary, wherever it may take you. Whether you’re sticking around Napa Valley, or you’re headed out to a big event in another part of the state, we’ve got you covered for every stop along the way. It’s pretty easy to calculate the cost of your Napa charter bus if you’re just traveling locally within city limits. This kind of trip is referred to as a “local trip.” In general, buses are rented by the hour and must book a minimum of 5 hours of service. So if you’re headed to wineries on a Friday evening and you only need the bus for 3 hours, you will have to pay for 5 hours anyway. Trips that go beyond Napa’s city limits but still return to the city are often called “transfer trips.” You may be going out of town for a few hours and then coming back, or possibly visiting for two days in a row but then coming back to your starting point. For trips that span multiple days, pricing for your bus rental is often calculated on a daily basis. However, you may be subject to additional charges if your trip goes over more than a certain number of miles or hours. For instance, if your daily rental includes up to 250 miles and your trip spans 300 miles, you’ll need to pay an additional fee for those extra 50 miles. There’s also charter bus rentals for long-distance trips, like a trip to Nevada, Arizona, or along the California coast. For this type of charter bus rental, your final price is usually determined by mileage, as the total mileage of the trip will be factored into your cost. Before contacting us for a quote, you’ll need to have a finalized headcount, as that determines the size and cost of your bus, and a firm itinerary. Adding multiple stops or destinations throughout your trip may change the overall price of your charter bus, so be sure to get it nailed down as soon as you can.
Trip Season and Availability
Just like plane tickets, hotels, and other rentals, the time of year you’re traveling will play a role in your charter bus rental costs. Summer months, especially in June, and the fall months in October and November, tend to see a higher number of trips because of seasonal holidays and vacations. Peak travel season has higher demand and limited availability for all charter buses, including smaller minibuses. To beat the higher prices during this time period, plan your trip for a Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday. These days of the week tend to be a little less expensive and the bus charter companies that we work with can offer a discount. If your trip does happen to be during a popular travel time or coincides with a major event, don’t worry. You don’t have to cancel your trip or worry about not being able to find a bus. It’s worth noting that there is a higher chance that your bus rental will cost more money. Call at least 6 months in advance and your Charter Bus Napa representative will do their best to accommodate you.
Location and Availability in Napa Valley
In many ways, where your trip begins, as well as where you are headed, will play a role in the pricing of your charter bus rental. The same can be said about how much you have to spend. Our team at Charter Bus Napa has experience working with any budget, and we have a variety of transportation partners in the Napa area, which makes it easy to plan out the logistics of your journey. If your trip departs from a smaller, rural, or remote area, charter bus pricing in your area may be higher, or availability may be lower. You also might need to pay additional travel fees since the nearest bus company could lie several hours away. So it’s always a good idea to reserve your bus as early as possible, and provide a detailed itinerary to your rental representative when you call for your quote.
Bus Model and Capacity
At Charter Bus Napa, you can choose to rent any bus model for your group transportation service. Smaller groups of fewer than 35 passengers typically choose a mini bus rental in Napa while those traveling with more people usually rent a full-sized coach bus or party bus, depending on their budget and special requests. Large charter buses for up to 56 passengers and can include amenities such as an on-board restroom, undercarriage luggage bays, and additional entertainment options. While these amenities can also be found on smaller charter buses, their price per hour or day will be a little higher.
Rental Day and Time of Week
You’ll be charged more for traveling on the weekend (Friday, Saturday, Sunday) or during the night (after 6 p.m.) since party buses, charter buses, and minibuses are all in higher demand. This also means that during peak days and times of the year, it could be more difficult to find a bus, depending on where you’re traveling. It’s worth noting that the minimum rental hours may also change. During non-peak days, charter bus companies usually have a minimum of 5 hours, which can be reduced. If you’re planning to visit one of Napa’s many wineries, you can call us to ask about arranging a shortened rental time on slower days like Tuesday or Wednesday.
Additional Amenities and Features
Along with features that increase passenger comfort, you can request additional amenities like WiFi and power outlets to keep your group up to date on emails and social media while en route to events. You can also request a bus with a PA system and entertainment options like TVs with a DVD player to keep passengers entertained while traveling long-distances. If you need ADA-compliant amenities for your charter bus, just let your reservation specialist know at the time of booking!
Other Costs to Note
On top of your bus rental pricing and the cost of a driver, additional expenses to consider while planning your trip include overnight lodging costs for your driver during multi-day trips, road tolls or parking fees, and the driver’s tip. When you call to book a bus, your representative can provide an estimate of what these expenses may be for your group, or you can reach out to each hotel or venue to ask about parking fees for buses. Bus drivers are also required to have at least 8 hours of sleep for every 10 hours spent on the road. If your trip exceeds 10 hours of driving time, you will need to provide overnight accommodation in a hotel or motel for the driver. If your driver stays overnight at a hotel, a tip of $30 to $50 per night in addition to the driver’s daily tip (15%-20%) is customary.
Ways to Save On Your Napa Valley Bus Rental
Budgeting for any trip can be stressful, so use these tried-and-true tactics to save money and get the best deal possible for your bus rental in Napa Valley:
- Finalize your group headcount. Your charter bus will be tailored to accommodate your exact number of passengers. If you add additional passengers to your group at the last minute, you may end up changing which bus model you rent if your group outgrows the seats available. This can significantly impact pricing for your Napa Valley bus.
- Reduce deadhead mileage by booking a bus in the same location as your first pickup point. Deadhead is the distance your bus will travel without passengers. The less deadhead, the lower your rental cost!
- Book early. You’ll get the best price on your bus if you book as early as possible, ideally 6 months in advance.
- Shorten the length of your trip, especially if you are renting by the hour or by the day, and reduce the number of nights you may have to pay for your driver’s hotel stay.
- Choose the perfect bus size for your group so you don’t overpay for extra space.
- Ask about discounts at venues and hotels before planning your trip. You can reduce parking fees if your hotel or venue can provide free overnight parking.
