How Long Will My Trip Be?

Stamford bus rentals are priced by the hour, day, or mileage, depending on your specific travel plan. One-off local trips that are short and don’t leave Stamford will be calculated by the hour. Multi-day or long-distance trips, like a week-long convention or a sports tournament that takes days of driving between statewides, are typically charged by the day. Long-distance road trips to places farther away where you won’t be staying put for long will be charged by mileage.

Finding a Stamford Bus Rental Near You

If your start point is in an area with low bus availability (usually in less-populated areas), Stamford charter bus pricing can increase. If you are trying to book a bus in these areas with short notice, your rate may increase, and if your driver has to drive from their base to your start point with no passengers (“deadhead” mileage), your rate could increase too. Book a bus that’s close to your group’s pickup location to avoid deadhead mileage.

Pick the Best Bus Size For Your Stamford Trip

Your quote depends on the type and size of bus you need and the amenities you want. With Charter Bus Stamford you’ll have options from 6-passenger sprinter vans to 15-35 minibuses all the way up to a 56-passenger charter bus—so your options for how you get around are endless! Larger buses like motorcoaches will cost more than a smaller minibus or sprinter van, but motorcoaches also tend to be newer and come with nicer amenities. To price shop, use our online quote tool to see pricing for all the available vehicles that have what you need. For longer road trips, request a charter bus with extra legroom.

How Much Will Your Stamford Bus Rental Cost During the Week?

Weekend party bus and charter bus rentals (Friday, Saturday, Sunday) are more expensive than weekday trips (Monday-Thursday). During the week when there’s less demand for Stamford buses, you can often get a lower price than the weekend (unless you are near a major event or holiday). Since prom season is mostly booked for Friday and Saturday nights, if you can reschedule your celebration to another day, try a weekday to save money.

Time of Day for a Stamford Party Bus

Want to save money on your Stamford party bus rental? Booking a daytime party bus is always going to be cheaper than a Friday or Saturday night party bus because these days, there is a much lower demand. Fridays and Saturdays, there’s a huge amount of weddings, bachelor/ette parties, birthday celebrations, and more happening at all hours — so this drives up demand, which increases cost. Try booking a trip during the day (before 6 PM) on days like Monday or Wednesday to get the best rate possible, and reduce the chance of hitting rush-hour traffic on I-95 or Merritt Parkway.

Essential On-Board Amenities

Many amenities, such as WiFi, plush seating, and ADA-accessible features, come standard on each bus model in Stamford at no extra charge. Other amenities, like onboard restrooms, televisions with DVD players, and electrical outlets, could come with an upcharge. If you request add-ons like this, they’ll be included when you receive your Stamford charter bus quote, so don’t hesitate to ask!

Additional Fees

Your quote may not include additional costs associated with your bus driver and travel, like road tolls, overnight lodging, and parking fees. You can choose to pay for those out-of-pocket while on the road, or discuss it with your reservation specialist before booking. To avoid lodging fees for your driver, choose a single-day trip close to Stamford. To minimize parking costs, select venues with on-site parking that’s suitable for large vehicles.
