What Affects the Price of a Charter Bus Rental?
The cost of your Cicero charter bus rental depends on a few different factors, and we’ll go into detail about each one here:
One major factor that can affect the price of your rental is the time of year. Peak season for Cicero bus rentals is typically April, May, and June, when schools are in session and graduations, proms, and end-of-year field trips are happening. If you’re planning to travel during these months, keep in mind that demand may be higher and prices may increase. If you have flexibility in your schedule, consider booking your trip during the off-season or mid-week to potentially save some money.
Another factor that can impact the cost of your rental is the distance you’ll be traveling. Our buses are rented by the hour, day, or mile, depending on your itinerary. Short, local trips within Cicero or nearby suburbs like Berwyn or Oak Park may be priced by the hour, while longer trips to destinations like Peoria or even Springfield may be priced by the day or mile. Be sure to have your complete itinerary ready when requesting a quote so we can provide the most accurate pricing for your trip.
The size of the bus you choose will also play a role in the overall cost. We offer a variety of bus sizes, from 15-passenger minibuses to full-size 56-passenger charter buses. Larger buses generally cost more than smaller ones, but they can also be more cost-effective if you have a large group since you’ll only need one vehicle instead of multiple smaller ones. When deciding on a bus size, consider not only the number of passengers but also any additional space you may need for luggage or equipment.
What is include in my quote?
Your quote from Charter Bus Rental Cicero includes the cost of your charter bus rental, fuel, insurance, and any requested onboard amenities. However, it does not cover tolls, parking passes, or hotels for drivers. For example, parking passes at Navy Pier in Chicago start at $75 per bus, and Soldier Field charges $60 for oversized vehicles. If your trip requires an overnight stay, you will need to book a hotel room for the driver, typically at a rate of around $150 per night. Any tolls incurred during your trip will also be your responsibility. Please plan accordingly to ensure all additional expenses are covered during your trip.
