What Are the Factors Influencing Auburn, Alabama, Bus Rental Pricing?

There is no one-size-fits-all pricing for your Auburn bus rental. Rather, every quote is uniquely crafted to ensure you’re only paying for what your group needs.

Some things we contemplate when building your quote include time of year, travel distance, the day of the week, trip length, how many passengers you’re transporting, extra amenities, and more. If you have any questions about your quote, give us a call at 334-870-1010—we’re here 24/7 to help!

Trip Distance

The distance you’re traveling impacts your cost. For short trips (like to the airport), quotes are hourly. For longer trips, quotes use mileage or daily rates. For example, if you’re traveling from Auburn to Atlanta, your quote will be daily or mileage-based. If you added a stop in Montgomery, your quote will go up.

Time of Year

Summer is bus rental’s peak season, so if you’re traveling during this busy period, you should book well in advance. For large events like conferences, weddings, and festivals, we suggest booking six months or more ahead of time. This gives your group the best chance to book the bus you want. Booking during the off-season, January, February, July, might also get you the best deals.

Day of the Week

Much like the difference between peak travel times and off-peak travel times, weekend rentals have a pricing premium given increased demand. If your travel plans make Monday-Thursday more feasible, you might see lower prices. For recurring services, it can be a struggle to book Monday-Thursday, especially if a driver is assigned.

Trip Length

Multi-day trips take a full-size charter bus, which includes a restroom and extra storage. That is what makes longer trips better. While minibuses are more affordable, they are meant for day trips or short travel itineraries.

Hourly Minimums

In slower seasons, it may be possible for your Auburn, Alabama transportation agency to drop requirements like hourly minimums or mileage minimums. If you don’t meet a five-hour minimum, you’ll be charged accordingly.

Driver Shifts, Accommodations, and Gratuity

A driver must take breaks. If the driver is working for 10+ hours, a second driver is required who is also paid and provided a hotel room. This expense will be factored into any long-distance quote for your trip from Auburn, Alabama to Atlanta, Georgia.

Fuel Costs and Additional Fees

A gas surcharge is included in some quotes. For routes with toll roads, ask if your Auburn bus rental company pays as they go or if there will be a surcharge.

Peak Travel Times

Special event transportation usually needs more buses, which can increase prices. If your trip or event falls near a busy graduation or game day season, you might see higher prices. The same goes for travel around holidays like Christmas and Thanksgiving.

Cost-Saving Tips to Consider

Have you decided on your route and destination? How about finalizing your Auburn, Alabama bus rental? Here are a few tips to keep your costs as low as possible.

  • Be flexible with your trip timing. Sometimes, changing your route by even a day or two can reduce costs significantly since weekend and holiday travel times tend to be priced much higher.
  • Travel during off-peak times. If you are flexible and can travel during weekday mornings or afternoons, you may get the best deal. Ask your personal rep if they have any midweek routes or one-way trips that you can tack onto.
  • Book early and confirm all details. Last-minute bookings usually cost a little more, as the most budget-friendly routes and itineraries get reserved first. We recommend booking as far in advance as you’re able to and confirming all your trip timings and details. This avoids adding to the mileage or hours at the last minute.
  • Book roundtrip or look for a one-way return.This minimizes mileage and fuel costs for your bus. Even if you can book a local trip that returns your driver to their original starting spot, you’ll decrease the overall miles driven while they aren’t carrying customers, often called “deadhead cost.”
  • Start near your bus’s starting location.This goes hand in hand with the point above. Your starting location is another factor that influences your final quote. Picking up or dropping off at your bus company’s parking hub can decrease the overall cost. For example, if your pickup location from Auburn, Alabama, would require a driver to travel 3 hours, there might be ways to adjust your pickup to minimize this deadhead cost if you have to pay for it.
  • Ask if your driver’s hotel, meal, or gratuities are included in the cost of your bus rental. This cost will be charged back to you if not a part of the original cost.
