We partner with a vast network of charter bus providers across California, so party bus, charter bus, and minibus prices are always fair and efficient. Rates will vary between California bus companies. Most prices depend on whether you rent by the hour, day, mile, or even on a one-way/round-trip package—it all depends on how you intend to use your charter bus in Pomona.
How Trip Distance and Duration Influence Price
Prices for party buses, charter buses and minibuses change depending on how your itinerary breaks down—your group may be charged by the hour, day, or even by the mile. Short local charter bus rentals in and around Pomona will be priced hourly, while trips from cities such as Riverside or Los Angeles may be calculated using mileage. The length of your trip also determines rental costs, with rates increasing depending on if you’re renting for a few hours, a few days, or even for an entire week. We can find you the best rate for an ongoing shuttle bus rental service at Cal Poly Pomona university. If your trip goes outside the state, be prepared to factor in costs like fuel, overnight accommodation for your driver, and potential meals for passengers. Additional costs may include gas, hotels for your driver, food and drinks, parking permits, toll road fees, etc. Don’t forget about extra expenses like admission fees for event venues.
How Seasonality Affects Bus Rental Pricing
The cost of renting a bus also depends on when your group will be traveling to Pomona. Spring, summer, and fall can become busy for our charter buses due to wedding season, family vacationers, and corporate conferences. There may be higher rates and limited charter bus availability if you’re booking around major events, such as concerts or sporting events at the Fairplex. Plan your trip around popular happenings to save on transportation. Keep an eye out on the official city event calendar to know when demand will spike for charter bus rentals in Pomona.
Pick-Up and Drop-Off Locations, Bus Availability
If you’re booking a bus from an area with limited charter bus rental options, be aware that prices may be higher in these locales, especially if you don’t book in advance. Starting points in major areas where charter bus partners may be located within close range often get lower rates. When a bus provider has to drive long distances to reach your pick-up point before the trip actually starts, that deadhead (empty) mileage that is factored into your quote is called deadhead.
Finding the Right Bus Model
Before your Charter Bus Pomona rental expert can find you the perfect party bus or charter bus rental for your trip, you will need to provide a headcount. Smaller groups will be matched with a compact minibus rental, while big groups traveling together for an event or trip are usually better off renting a full-sized charter bus. Even if you have a smaller number of passengers—anywhere from 15 to 30 or 35 people—you may find a larger bus more comfortable for a long-distance trip, as a charter bus typically has an onboard restroom and extra storage space for each traveler’s luggage. If you have between 20 and 30 guests, you may want to check out some larger party buses that can hold 20 to 30 people comfortably, such as an LGE party bus. Another important decision to make will be whether to book an older charter bus model or one that has been constructed recently. As you may imagine, an older bus model tends to have fewer amenities and generally looks less luxurious—which can be fine for groups on a budget or groups needing basic transportation from A to B. If you are traveling with VIPs or prefer modern comforts, we recommend requesting amenities like WiFi and power outlets, to make sure everyone has a great time and their technology is able to be used. Some groups need more than the standard charter bus and our network has that covered. If you’re transporting students to or from a school campus with low availability for larger charter buses, a traditional yellow school bus rental can provide basic transportation and get everyone where they need to go with ample seatings. If you want a smaller and more modern bus option, you can book a minibus rental in Pomona with amenities like WiFi and power outlets for additional onboard comfort.
Rental Dates
The days you book can also affect the pricing of your bus rental or shuttle service in Pomona. Rentals for Friday evenings, Saturdays, and Sundays tend to be pricier than those booked for the days between Monday and Thursday. When demand goes up for charter bus rentals in Pomona (usually when people want to use buses on the weekends), many charter bus companies set a higher minimum amount of hours, charging more per hour, and raise hourly and daily rental fees. Booking a charter bus from Monday to Thursday is often a smart financial choice if you don’t need your charter bus rental for events such as parties or sporting events that often occur on the weekend. If you book with us, our team will provide support and assistance throughout your trip as much or as little as you want. Call our specialists for advice about planning routes or to discuss bus rental options. Your Charter Bus Pomona rental experience will be as customized and tailored as you desire!
Time of Day
You’re sure to get more out of your rental budget by booking a daytime bus rental in Pomona. Typically, our reservation specialists are instructed to ask you the time of day you’ll need a pickup so your driver has an idea of when to start prepping. Your charter bus is guaranteed to be at every stop to ensure everything is right on time, no matter how short and sweet or long and complicated your trip itinerary. Generally, charter bus providers see a spike in traffic during certain peak hours, when most events are scheduled, like Fridays and Saturdays. Because of this increased demand, prices go up when reserving party buses. You are much more likely to find the best rate by picking a Monday thru Thursday or afternoon time.
Additional Amenities for Your Pomona Trip
Your standard charter bus rental already comes equipped with basic amenities like WiFi, power outlets, a PA system, climate-controlled interiors, reclining seats, and onboard restrooms. However, some party bus rental companies do allow passengers 21+ to have alcoholic beverages during a party bus or limousine trip (it is NOT allowed with any other bus type for comfort reasons). This means your group of friends or bachelor(ette) parties can rent a limo or party bus with us and bring champagne, beer, seltzer and more on the ride. When you have a driver shuttling you from destination to destination, a designated driver or figuring out parking is one less thing you’ll need to think about. There will also be storage like overhead bins and even onboard restrooms available by request for additional comfort and convenience.
Additional Costs While Traveling
The quote you’ll receive during the booking process may not include road tolls, tip fees, or parking passes. Parking fees are typically the responsibility of the traveler, and you may have to pay out of pocket. Your tip will likely be 10-20% of your total bus rental cost and is given directly to the bus driver. If your trip will be outside of California or spans multiple days, additional costs like accommodation and food for your driver will also not be reflected in your rental quote, unless requested.
Rent Your Pomona Charter Bus with Smart Travel Plans
Planning your trip itinerary with your Charter Bus Pomona rental representative is a great start when it comes to reducing costs. However, there are plenty of additional ways you can make your bus rental in Pomona more efficient:
- Decide on one pickup location. With more stops to start the trip, there’s potential for more mileage accumulated to reach each group of passengers.
- Book a bus rental from a local charter bus company near your pick up point or drop off location to reduce empty or deadhead mileage. The Charter Bus Pomona network can help you achieve this.
- Organize your itinerary to stick to the minimum hours of your bus rental to make the most of your time and to reduce any additional hours added to your final trip cost. Even better, plan a daytime bus trip to take advantage of potentially lower rates during certain days and hours.
- Keep parking fees in mind. Before your group stops to see the best of Pomona, ask ahead about how much parking there is for your bus and determine what would be a better option. Do you stick with a cheaper route and risk an overflow lot farther from your destination? Or pay a high fee for a premium parking lot up close?
