Your Trip’s Distance and Time
When preparing your quote, a transportation company’s representative will first look at how far and how long you’ll be traveling. Be prepared to give them the pickup and drop off times and addresses. Buses are rented by the hour, day, or mileage depending on the trip details. If you’re traveling in and around Anaheim, you’ll pay by the hour. On average, bus companies require a minimum commitment but we can always work around this for your group’s needs. Trips spanning multiple days and a long distance will be billed by the day or by mileage. If your group needs transportation locally over the course of several days, like for a multi-day festival or conference at the Anaheim Convention Center, Party Bus Company will most likely charge by the day. Trip itineraries can change at the last minute. Though you should avoid altering your trip details, your driver may be willing to take unplanned detours to places like Disneyland or Angel Stadium. Note that even if you have already paid for your trip in full, you’ll be charged for any additional mileage outside the original plan.

When You’re Traveling
When planning your party bus rental in Anaheim, California, the time of year you book can greatly impact the final price. Anaheim is home to Disneyland, Angel Stadium, Honda Center, and the Anaheim Convention Center, so the city sees a huge influx of visitors during major events and peak seasons. The busiest times in Anaheim fall between May and August. Summertime brings warm weather and kids out of school, so families flock to Disneyland and the beaches. Mid-May through September is convention season, filling hotels and bringing thousands of attendees. Late spring also hosts high school proms, grad nights, and end of school trips. As demand spikes, party bus availability drops, allowing companies to charge premium rates. You’ll pay the most for Anaheim party bus rentals during Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Labor Day, and the two weeks around Comic-Con in July. When the Anaheim Ducks hockey team makes the NHL playoffs from April-June, rates also trend higher due to fan demand. Booking your party bus 3-6 months in advance helps ensure availability and the best prices. Winters offer lower demand, but you may still vie with groups attending bowl games at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena. Avoiding major holidays and events provides the most budget-friendly options.
Trip Start and End Points
Some big cities like Boston don’t have as many bus rental companies as other metropolitan areas because their streets aren’t suitable for large commercial vehicles. Groups coming from cities where there are fewer bus companies will be more expensive because the supply is lower than average. When supply is low, some bus rental companies charge a premium for their services. For example, Boston’s narrow, winding streets lined with parked cars make it tricky for large buses to navigate. According to the city’s website, driving a bus in Boston requires expertise. As a result, there are fewer charter bus companies operating in the city, allowing the existing companies to charge higher prices due to limited competition. If your party bus company is picking up your group in a different city from the company’s headquarters, your cost will increase. You’ll be charged for the additional mileage it takes the bus to travel from the company’s headquarters to your starting location. This cost that accumulates while no passengers are on board is known as deadhead. For example, if you need a 60 passenger coach bus to drive from Party Bus Company Anaheim headquarters in Anaheim to pick your group up in San Francisco, you’ll be charged for the 380 miles of deadhead up to San Francisco before your trip even begins. Which city you’re being picked up and dropped off in matters a lot for your charter bus rental price. Buses are easier to find in major cities like Los Angeles, San Diego, and San Francisco due to higher population density. However, availability in suburbs and smaller cities varies. Your quote factors in deadhead too – the time your bus spends traveling to your group without passengers. For the most accurate price quote, provide exact pickup and dropoff addresses when booking so we can calculate deadhead mileage.
Type and Number of Buses
When calculating your charter bus rental quote, one of the main factors that impacts your price is the type and number of buses you request. We offer a variety of buses to accommodate groups of all sizes and budgets, including party buses, minibuses, entertainer coaches, motorcoaches, and charter buses. Each vehicle type is priced differently based on its size, features, and passenger capacity. Here are some tips for keeping your bus rental costs down when selecting your vehicles:
- Fill as many seats as possible on each bus to maximize value. The more passengers you have, the lower the per person price will be.
- For groups under 35 people, consider a minibus. They seat around 20-30 and cost $100-200 less per day than a standard coach bus.
- Compare different bus sizes and types using our easy online quoting tool. This will show you exact price differences.
- Avoid oversized vehicles. Only rent what you need for your group’s size to avoid empty seats.
- School buses are very budget-friendly, but lack amenities like A/C, restrooms, luggage space.
With so many bus types and options to choose from, the quoting tool on our website makes it easy to compare. Just input your trip details to immediately see pricing for different buses so you can select the perfect fit.
Tips for Keeping Costs Down
When renting a charter bus in Anaheim, there are a few key things you can do to help reduce your overall costs. First, avoid booking during major events like Disneyland’s peak seasons or big conventions as demand drives prices up. Instead, target off-peak dates like weekdays in the fall or spring. You’ll also want to map out your route and destinations in advance to prevent excess mileage fees. Skip the frills like onboard WiFi or entertainment systems if you don’t absolutely require them. And don’t forget to factor in parking permits and tolls – call ahead to secure parking near your destinations and account for toll roads when mapping your route. Finally, choose the right bus size for your group so you don’t overpay for unused seats. Careful planning and avoiding unnecessary add-ons are surefire ways to keep your Anaheim bus rental affordable.
