How do I reserve a Bus?

Reserving a bus is quite simple and most companies including United Bus work hard to make this part as simple as possible.

To guide the reservation specialists and help them provide the most accurate rate, the following information will be needed.

  • The Date and the Time of the pick up
  • The pick up location
  • The drop off location
  • Is this a one way trip, round trip, charter, daily, or shuttle service?

Some other information you should let your specialist know is whether there will be stops along the way or if you need special amenities. Also include whether the bus is needed with the group for several days rather than a one way or round trip type service.

What factors into the cost of a Charter Bus?

Many things factor into the quote that our specialists provide. The type of event and the season is crucial. Prices may differ due to availability during the busy and off season. The cost of fuel, amount of time, and distance traveled play a role in this as well.

Due to official regulations put onto all Charter Bus and Coach Bus operators, a driver is only allowed a total of 10 hours of driving time per day with a total of 15 hours on duty time. Certain trips will need more than one driver and due to this the price will be affected.

If your trip does require more than one day of service, the most cost effective quote would be a per day charge. Also, most companies including United Bus will require you to cover the cost for the Bus drivers overnight accommodations.

United Bus works hard to compete for your business with the most affordable prices and only the most quality service.
