How Your Price is Calculated

The price of your bus rental depends on a few key factors. We take into account the type of vehicle you need, the number of passengers, the length of your trip, and any special features or amenities you require. The region, season, and day of the week you’ll be traveling can also impact the rate. The bottom line is that every rental quote is customized to your unique trip details. Pricing varies based on the specifics of your group, your route, and your rental package. Read on to learn more about how each of these elements affects your total bus rental cost.

The Distance and Time Traveled on your Trip

When preparing a quote for your Dallas Party Bus Company, we first look at the pickup location, drop off location, and the duration of your trip. For short trips within the city, like transporting a group from downtown Dallas to the State Fair of Texas at Fair Park, we charge hourly rates. For all-day or multi-day trips covering more ground, like taking a group from Dallas to the casinos in Oklahoma, we charge daily rates. And for long-distance travel, like transporting a sports team from Dallas to an away game in Austin, we charge by the total mileage. Regardless of the pricing method, we work to accommodate any last-minute changes to your itinerary as best as possible. Just know that additional mileage outside of the original trip plan may incur extra fees. By closely reviewing your trip details upfront, we can provide an accurate quote tailored to your group’s transportation needs.

When You’re Traveling

The cost of your charter bus rental depends heavily on when you book your trip. In Dallas, rates spike during the busy spring season from March through May. This is prime time for school field trips, proms, graduations, and family reunions. The Dallas Cowboys play home games from September through December, driving up weekend rental prices. Avoid booking in April if possible, as spring break trips and end-of-year school events make buses scarce and expensive. For the best rates, plan your Dallas bus rental in the off-season winter months of January and February. Rental costs also dip in July and August when schools are closed for summer break. The key is booking your bus at least 3-6 months in advance to lock in the lowest price no matter when you need to travel. Planning ahead saves you money.

Your Trip’s Starting Point and Final Stop

The starting and ending points of your bus rental determine a large part of the total cost. We have charter buses available in every major Texas city, including Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, Austin, and Fort Worth, so we can accommodate trips beginning or ending in any of these busier metro areas. Larger cities have more supply of charter buses, keeping prices lower due to competition. Smaller towns or rural areas often have limited availability, meaning prices are higher to account for getting the bus to your location. The mileage our bus logs traveling to your group with no passengers on board is called deadhead mileage. For example, a one-way charter bus rental from Dallas to Austin, approximately 200 miles apart, will include deadhead mileage from our Dallas depot to your Dallas pickup location. The cost of this empty mileage is included in your total quote.

The Size of Your Group

When booking a bus rental in Dallas, the type of bus you choose will directly impact the total cost. We offer a variety of buses to accommodate groups of all sizes, including party buses, minibuses, entertainer coaches, motorcoaches, and charter buses. Our largest buses, like motorcoaches and charter buses, offer amenities like restrooms, luggage compartments, and reclining seats for comfort on long trips. The tradeoff is that large buses are more expensive per hour than compact options. For smaller groups, a minibus provides an affordable option without sacrificing features like power outlets, DVD players and WiFi. At around $100-200 less per day than a full-sized bus, minibuses strike the perfect balance for shorter trips. Party buses offer vibrant lighting and sound systems for special events, with hourly rates similar to standard coaches. No matter which type you select, the size of your Dallas bus rental determines the base rate.

Tips for Keeping Costs Down

Renting a bus during the off-season can save you money. Avoid booking during major events like the State Fair of Texas in October or big football games. Weekdays are generally less expensive than weekends too. Focusing your route outside of downtown and avoiding toll roads or stadium parking fees helps lower operational costs that get passed onto you. Work with your bus company ahead of time to map out the most cost-effective route to fit your itinerary. With some advanced planning, you can find an affordable charter bus for your Dallas trip!

Example #1:

A high school biology teacher in Dallas wants to take his students on a field trip to the Perot Museum of Nature and Science. He has 30 students that will need transportation, so he gets a quote for a charter bus rental. The charter bus company provides a quote for a 56 passenger bus to accommodate the group. They will need the bus from 9am-3pm for the day trip, which comes out to $650 total. The bus has wheelchair accessibility and air conditioning to keep students comfortable on the Dallas summer day. The teacher is quoted $650 plus a recommended 10% tip for the bus team, bringing the total to $715. Dividing that total cost by the 30 students means it will only cost each student around $24 for the educational Dallas field trip. The charter bus provides reliable transportation so the teacher can focus on the science lessons for the day.

The charter bus company gives her a quote of $150 per hour, with an 8 hour minimum. This covers pickup and dropoff at the field in Dallas, roundtrip travel time, and wait time during the game. With taxes and fees, her total quote for the Dallas charter bus rental comes out to $1,350.

This covers pickup and drop off at their office, bottled water for the ride, and parking fees at the amusement park.
