Charter Bus Rental: How Do You Rent a Bus?

The majority of people don't think about charter buses until they have an urgent need for one. In contrast to car rentals, booking group transportation is more challenging. Managing 50 people will be more time-consuming than managing five.

Not to worry -- at MTI we strive to make the bus rental process easy and convenient no matter what size group you have.

Regardless of your trip type or your experience with renting buses (you probably have a lot of experience if you're an event coordinator), we will help you plan your trip efficiently. You'll have a partner in every step of the process, from choosing full-sized charter buses to minibuses of various sizes.

Charter Bus Rental Basics

Charter bus rental doesn't have to be complicated. At MTI, we partner with our clients to find the best possible transportation options. However, here are a few things to consider first.

Make sure a charter bus is the right choice for you.

Make sure you select the best transportation option available to you. Not everyone needs a charter bus, but for groups of 12 or more people, it makes sense to hire a group transportation company.

Sports clubs and other organizations with a need for abundant storage space for luggage and equipment should use a charter bus rental rather than difficult-to-organize and coordinate carpools.

Charter bus rentals are also beneficial to large organizations in need of transportation to training sessions, seminars, team-building events, or company outings.

You can also use charter bus rental services for family events, like long-distance birthday parties, weddings, and anniversaries. Any event with a large number of guests requiring transportation could be made easier, more convenient, and more comfortable with a bus rental.

If you are considering renting a charter bus, all it depends on is the size of your group and the amount of time you are prepared to devote to driving. If you need reliable group transit options and don't want the hassle of arranging individual drivers in different vehicles, bus rental is the most convenient option.

Select the appropriate bus rental for your needs.

Full-sized charter buses and minibuses are the two most common types of charter buses. Full-sized charter buses are also commonly called coaches or motorcoaches. These vehicles can seat roughly 50 passengers with lots of compartmental space for luggage or equipment.

A minibus is similar to a standard charter bus but it can only seat approximately 20 people. While a minibus rental offers a lot of storage space, if you are transporting a lot of cargo -- sporting equipment, sound equipment and instruments for concerts, and luggage -- a standard charter bus might be the better option even if you have 20 passengers.

Calculate the cost of your bus rental.

Bus rental costs are calculated based upon the client's unique needs in addition to group size. At MTI, we offer personalized quotes for bus rentals that account for your destination, the length of your trip, and other factors, including:

• Travel time
• Date of travel
• Bus size
• Personalization requests
• Date of booking
