Charter Bus Tampa works with numerous bus companies across Florida, so rates may vary between companies. Prices are often determined by the day, hour, or mile based on your needs. We also offer a variety of packages depending on your trip like one way or two day rates — just let us know what you’re thinking about!
Factors Affecting Distance & Your Trip’s Length
Tampa bus rentals are priced hourly, daily, or by mileage. Local trips within the city will likely be calculated by the hour. Most companies will set a minimum number of rental hours. Multi-day trips, such as a convention at the Tampa Convention Center, will usually have a daily rate. Longer road trips are charged by mileage.
Seasonal Tampa Bus Pricing
When you’re traveling is another factor that can impact your Tampa bus rental price. Months like April, May, June, September, and October can be higher due to higher demand. If you are booking travel around a Gasparilla Pirate Fest, or any spring training, be ready to have pricier rates. Don’t forget to take these things into account before calculating your next trip.
Location and Availability of Tampa Buses
If you’re starting in a less-populated area, rates for charter bus rentals in Tampa can increase. Booking during these areas during peak season can have higher costs as well due to low availability. Some providers have an added “deadhead” fee, but Charter Bus Tampa will pair you with the company closest to your starting point.
Size and Type of Your Tampa Bus
The type of bus and the features you want will determine price. Smaller party buses usually fit between 10 and 20 passengers. Larger party buses can carry 40 passengers. Luxury buses with upgraded amenities, such as hardwood flooring and premium sound systems, can cost more. Newer buses with premium amenities also tend to be priced higher.
Day of the Week
Weekend rentals (Friday, Saturday, and Sunday) tend to cost more than weekdays. Less popular travel times mean that most providers have a larger stock of Tampa bus rentals, lowering the minimum rental hours and total cost. But party buses and charter buses tend to see the highest request volumes Friday and Saturday nights, raising minimum rental hours and hourly rates.
Times of Day and Bus Rental Rates
Booking during the day (before 6 p.m.) can save you a few bucks. Since charter and party buses are commonly reserved for nights out, weddings, concerts, and parties—most bus providers charge a higher rate during the evening (after 6 p.m.). Booking a Monday-Thursday during daytime hours might reduce minimum rental hours, too.
Amenities Available on Party Buses
Many features like WiFi, reclining seats, and ADA accessibility come as a standard option on most party buses and minibuses. Amenities like onboard restrooms and upgraded entertainment may raise your rental cost, though. Be sure to talk to your Charter Bus Tampa rental expert to discuss which amenities will keep passengers comfy and make it a memorable trip for all!
Other Costs for Tampa Rentals
Don’t forget additional costs like tolls, tips for your driver, parking fees, lodging fees, and other fees, such as meals or tickets to events. These will likely be paid out of pocket while on the road.
