At Charter Bus Albuquerque, your trip details determine your pricing package. Call our team of experts today at 505-553-7500 and we’ll work with you to create a custom quote based on your unique needs.
What Affects My Trip Price and Duration?
Albuquerque bus rentals are priced by the hour, day, or mileage. Hourly billing is typically for shorter trips in town. Long-distance or multi-day trips are priced by the day. If you’re booking a cross-country trip or simply need transportation for several days (such as during a music festival or annual conference) then your rate will likely be calculated based on your trip’s mileage. Keep in mind that regardless of if your trip is a few hours or days, your quote covers your vehicle, your driver, and travel essentials like fuel and insurance. The quote will not include expenses like tolls, food, or lodging for your driver (which you’re responsible for during overnight trips).
How Does the Season Affect my Rental Cost?
Booking a trip during certain times of year is known to influence pricing. Charter bus availability can be limited during peak seasons such as spring and summer months, as well as around holidays like Christmas and New Year’s and major events. High demand and limited inventory typically mean a price increase. It’s important to plan accordingly—book your trip at least 3-6 months in advance during peak travel times.
Where Can I Find the Best Albuquerque Buses?
Bus rental availability changes according to which city the buses are being chartered in, and if your pickup/dropoff location isn’t close to the charter bus company, you’re more likely to see a price surge. If you’re starting your trip far from where the company is located, you may also encounter additional fees for “deadhead” mileage—mileage that accumulates before any passengers board the bus.
To minimize these fees and increase your chances of the best possible bus selection, we recommend renting a charter bus in New Mexico from a company located near your trip’s start point. The Charter Bus Albuquerque network includes charter buses in Albuquerque as well as motorcoaches in Roswell, Farmington, Gallup, and more throughout the state. In fact, we work with over 5,000 transportation partners across the US, so you’re sure to find a bus near you!
What Bus Model Should I Reserve?
Charter Bus Albuquerque offers a wide range of motorcoaches to accommodate groups of every size, from compact minibuses for 18- 35 passengers to full-sized charter buses for up to 56 passengers! For those events where you just want to turn up, we even have party buses, sprinter buses, and limousines to suit everyone and every occasion!
Luxury buses, which may have features like wraparound leather seating, hardwood flooring, and more, will come at a higher price than more standard bus models. And as you can imagine, newer nicer buses will cost more than older models. On newer party buses, you may find additional amenities like Bluetooth speakers, Smart TVs and more that older models don’t always have.
What Day Should I Rent?
Weekend rentals (Friday, Saturday, Sunday) are usually more expensive than rentals booked on weekdays (Monday-Thursday). This means you’ll often be charged a lower price if there’s less demand for Albuquerque bus rentals, like during weekdays. On the other hand, on Friday and Saturday nights when there’s a higher demand for buses, charter bus companies usually raise the minimum rental hour limit and charge an increased rate per hour. If your celebration can be rescheduled to a day earlier in the week, consider celebrating Tuesday or Wednesday to get the best rate.
When Should I Book My Charter Bus?
As you can imagine, rental rates increase if the charter bus or party bus is reserved in the evening (past 6pm) when there’s a higher demand. Fridays and Saturday nights are typically when bus companies see the highest volume of requests, so you’re almost guaranteed a higher price when booking a ride during these peak weekend times. Certain days throughout the week, like a Monday or Wednesday afternoon, may come with a reduced minimum number of rental hours required for your reservation.
What Amenities Do You Offer?
Many amenities, such as WiFi, plush seating, and ADA-accessible features, come standard on most models. Others, like onboard restrooms, televisions with DVD players, and electrical outlets might come at an additional charge. You can also request to rent a bus with a PA system, AM/FM radio, and undercarriage storage, so be sure to let us know what amenities you have in mind and we will be happy to work with you on fulfilling your bus rental requests.
What Other Costs Should I Include in My Budget?
When making a budget for your upcoming event, your quote won’t include the cost of road tolls, parking fees, and gratuities. If your trip spans multiple days and requires more than one driver, you may also have to pay for driver costs, like hotel lodging, as well.
We recommend calling ahead to check with the venues or hotels on your itinerary to verify where you can park your charter bus and whether there’s any costs involved. Many venues and hotels even offer discounted rates for bus parking with group reservations, so just let them know what you are looking for and they will be more than happy to assist.
