Bus Rental Company Yakima works with many different bus companies across Washington, and each provider has slightly different rates. But generally, pricing is determined by whether your group is quoted by the day, hour, or mile based on what kind of travel plan your group has in mind. The price per hour is usually only used for local trips within Yakima that last several hours. Multi-day trips, like for wedding shuttles or corporate outings, are more often quoted by the day. And there are also special packages like one-ways and round trips that we offer! Again, this all varies depending on many different factors — now let’s take a look at some of them!
Trip Distance and Duration
Yakima bus rentals are priced by the hour, day, or mileage, depending on your specific travel plan. One-off trips that are short and sweet and don’t leave the Yakima area will likely be calculated by the hour. On average, most Yakima charter bus companies require a minimum amount of hours, but if your journey requires less time on the road, your Bus Rental Company Yakima representative will work with you to figure something out that meets your schedule and budget. A multi-day trip to explore the wineries will likely be a daily rate, while a long-distance charter to Spokane could be by the mile. Make sure you have every drop-off location planned out, with addresses!
Time of Year (Seasonality)
Another thing that impacts the cost of your bus rental is when you are traveling. Some times of year, such as April, May, and June tend to be more expensive for Yakima charter buses due to limited bus availability during prom and wedding season. The increased demand in bus rentals in summer and fall is due to events like winery tours and festivals like the Central Washington State Fair. Major events can also cause a spike in price and lower the availability of vehicles. If your trip happens to be around a popular time, demand may increase, making securing a Yakima charter bus rental difficult and pricier. Always check your local calendar before you book!
Location and Availability
If your travel itinerary includes a start point in a town outside Yakima with low availability, your charter bus pricing can increase. Additionally, if you are trying to book in these areas with short notice, your rate may go up due to a smaller selection of available buses. And speaking of availability, you may encounter additional fees if your driver has to drive a long distance from their base to meet you. This mileage that accumulates with no passengers onboard is known as “deadhead.” To reduce this cost, try to reserve a bus from a company that operates near your pickup or dropoff location, whether in Yakima or a surrounding community like Toppenish.
Bus Type and Size
The most obvious difference that will influence your bus rental cost is what type of bus you’ll need to book. And since we have sprinter vans, minibuses, party buses and charter buses in Yakima, you’ll have lots of options to choose from. A more luxurious party bus will come at a higher price than standard bus models. Also, as you can imagine, newer buses will cost more than older models. A full-sized motorcoach may be your best choice for a long-distance school trip to Seattle, since they offer plenty of storage and lavatories. For local travels like a brewery hop, consider renting a minibus instead. Minibuses in Yakima usually have lower rates than charter buses, but it depends.
The Day of the Week
Weekend rentals on a Friday, Saturday, or Sunday are generally more expensive than those booked on weekdays like Monday through Thursday. There is a higher demand for charter or party buses for weekend events like weddings, birthday parties at the Yakima Valley Museum, or outings to the Capitol Theatre. When there’s less demand for Yakima bus rentals, like during weekdays, you’ll often be charged a lower price. On the other hand, on a Friday or Saturday night when there’s a higher volume of requests, bus companies in Yakima usually require a rental hour minimum and charge an increased rate per hour to meet that demand. If your trip is flexible, consider celebrating on a Tuesday or Wednesday to get the best rate.
Time of Day
Want to save a few bucks on your Yakima bus rental? Try booking a daytime trip! Because charter buses and party buses are so popular for nights out, bachelor and bachelorette parties, and winery tours, most companies charge higher hourly rates during the evening to meet demand. Friday and Saturday nights are typically when party bus companies see the highest volume of requests, so you’re almost guaranteed a higher price when reserving a ride during peak weekend times. Certain days throughout the week, like a Monday, may even come with a reduced number of rental hours. You may not be able to change your schedule for events with set times, but booking brewery tours during the day is more affordable!
Bus Amenities
Many amenities, such as WiFi, plush seating, and climate control come standard on most bus models in our Yakima network. Other amenities, like onboard restrooms, televisions with DVD players, and leather interiors, might come at an additional charge. These are great for adding a touch of luxury to your wine tour or keeping students entertained on the drive back from a field trip to the Yakima Area Arboretum. We can find the perfect bus for your budget! Just let your reservation specialist know if you’d like to make any specific requests, and they’ll make sure those requests are reflected in your personalized bus quote.
Cost-Saving Tips
Want to save a little on your next Yakima bus rental? It’s much easier than you might think! Here are a few tips to get the best possible price on your reservation. First, have a finalized headcount before you book; adding people may require a larger bus and increase your cost. Reduce deadhead mileage by booking a bus that’s already located in Yakima. Book early, especially during the busy months of summer and fall when Yakima Valley is in peak season for tourism. And finally, when you book an overnight trip, choosing a hotel for your driver that is more affordable or offers complimentary motorcoach parking can help you avoid extra charges on your final bill. All these little things can add up!
