Charter a Bus

How to book your perfect bus charter. There are many companies that provide bus charter services, so it pays to shop around.

Steps

Use the Internet to find a bus charter company. It does not necessarily have to be in your local area, as many charter companies will have professional affiliates in your area.
When contacting a bus charter company, you will most likely need to speak to a representative. Quotes for most trips are hard to give on-line due to the many variables involved. A reputable bus charter company will be able to produce a paper quote or estimate to you either by fax or email.
Get at least three quotes. All bus charter companies will give out free, non-obligating quotes.
Prices aren't always everything. Some companies will low-ball a quote just to get the job, then raise the price soon before your departure.
At Quote time, ask what surcharges are included or are extra. Most bus charter companies have to add a fuel surcharge these days. Find out whether the Quote includes a fuel surcharge as well as a gratuity.
Always check the terms and conditions to make sure extras like parking, tolls and drivers accommodation are included.

Sometimes, you can get a much better deal if you make cleaning the interior of the bus yourselves after the trip part of the deal, since this is often a big chunk of the bus owner's expenses.
The Internet is a great place to find a bus charter company. Always remember to get at least three quotes from companies, that way you can compare the various prices and extra charges.
