Several factors can influence the cost of your bus rental, including the size and type of vehicle, the length of your trip, and the time of year. Larger buses with more amenities will generally cost more than smaller, basic models. If you’re traveling during peak season (spring break, summer, or major events like Sun ‘n Fun Aerospace Expo), prices may be higher due to increased demand. Other factors include the distance traveled, the number of days you need the bus, and any special requests like extra pickups or drop-offs. To get the best rate, try to book early and have your itinerary details ready when you call.
