Bus Rental Company Rio Rancho works with many different bus companies across New Mexico, and each one has slightly different rates. Generally, pricing is determined by whether your group is quoted by the day, hour, or mile based on what kind of travel plan you have in mind. The price per hour is usually for local trips that last several hours, like a shuttle for a local wedding. Multi-day trips are more often quoted by the day. We also offer special packages like one-ways and round trips. This all varies depending on many different factors — so let’s take a look at some of them!
Trip Distance and Duration
Rio Rancho 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 city the bus is stationed in will likely be calculated by the hour. For example, a shuttle service to A Park Above would be an hourly rental. On average, most Rio Rancho charter bus companies require a minimum number of hours, but if your journey requires less time on the road, your Bus Rental Company Rio Rancho representative will work with you. Trips that span multiple days are typically charged by the day, while long-distance road trips are charged by mileage.
Time of Year (Seasonality)
Another thing that impacts the cost of your bus rental is when you are traveling. Some times of the year, like spring and summer, tend to be more expensive for Rio Rancho charter buses due to limited bus availability. The increased demand is due to events like proms, weddings, and graduations. Major nearby events like the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta in October can also cause a spike in price and lower the availability of vehicles. If your trip happens to be around a major event or a popular sporting event at the Rio Rancho Events Center, demand may increase, making it more difficult to book a bus at a lower price.
Location and Availability
If your travel itinerary includes a starting point in an area with low availability, your Rio Rancho charter bus pricing can increase. This is often the case for groups traveling in less-populated areas or trying to book with very short notice. You may also encounter additional fees if the bus has to travel a long distance from its home base to meet you at your starting location. This mileage that accumulates with no passengers on board is known as “deadhead.” To reduce this cost, try to reserve a bus from a charter company that operates near Rio Rancho or in nearby Albuquerque. Our network can help you find the closest available bus!
Bus Type and Size
The most obvious factor that will influence your bus rental cost is what type of bus you’ll need to book, along with what special amenities you need on board. Since we have sprinter vans, minibuses, party buses, and charter buses in Rio Rancho, you’ll have lots of options to choose from. A full-sized motorcoach may be your best choice for long-distance trips, since they often have luggage compartments and restrooms, while a minibus is great for local trips. Luxury party buses with features like wraparound seating and bar areas will come at a higher price than more standard models. You can easily compare prices for all our different options right online!
The Day of the Week
Weekend rentals on a Friday, Saturday, or Sunday are generally more expensive than those booked on weekdays like a Monday or Tuesday. When there’s less demand for Rio Rancho bus rentals, like during the week, you’ll often be charged a lower price. On the other hand, on Friday and Saturday nights when there’s a higher demand for party buses for nights out and weddings, companies usually raise the minimum rental hour limit and charge an increased rate per hour to meet that demand. If your celebration can be rescheduled to a day earlier in the week, consider celebrating on a Tuesday or Wednesday to get the best possible rate on your transportation.
Time of Day
Looking to save a few bucks on your Rio Rancho bus rental? Try booking a daytime trip! Because charter buses and party buses are so popular for nights out, weddings, bachelor parties, and concerts, most companies charge higher hourly rates during the evening (after 6 p.m.) to meet the demand. Friday and Saturday nights are typically when 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 or Wednesday afternoon, may even come with a reduced minimum number of rental hours required for your reservation.
Bus Amenities
Many amenities, such as WiFi and plush seating, come standard on most of the bus models in our Rio Rancho network. Other amenities, like onboard restrooms, televisions with DVD players, and electrical outlets might come at an additional charge or are only available on specific models. Let your reservation specialist know if you’d like to make any special requests for your bus rental, and we’ll make sure those requests are reflected in your personalized bus quote. And don’t worry, we can almost always accommodate your needs! Just ask your Bus Rental Company Rio Rancho representative if you qualify for any special discounts when you call to book!
Cost-Saving Tips to Consider
Want to save a little on your next Rio Rancho bus rental? It’s much easier than you might think! Here are a few tips to get the best possible price on your rental. First, have a finalized headcount before you book. Adding people may require a larger, more expensive bus, and removing people could mean you overpaid for space you didn’t need. Also, reduce deadhead mileage by booking a bus that’s already located in Rio Rancho or Albuquerque. Remember to book early, especially during the busy months of April, May, and June. Finally, look for venues with easy, free parking access for oversized vehicles and ask your hotel about complimentary parking options for your bus.
