Bus Rental Company Pasco works with many different bus companies across Washington, and each one has slightly different rates. Generally, your price is determined by whether your group is quoted by the day, hour, or mile based on your travel plans. The price per hour is usually for local trips that last several hours, like a shuttle for the Water Follies. Multi-day trips are more often quoted by the day. We also offer special packages like one-ways and round trips. All these options vary depending on many factors. Let’s take a look at some of them to help you get the best price for your Pasco bus rental!
Trip Distance and Duration
Pasco bus rentals are priced by the hour, day, or mileage, depending on your specific travel plan. Short, local trips that don’t leave the Tri-Cities area, like a shuttle to Gesa Stadium, will likely be calculated by the hour. Most bus companies in Pasco require a minimum number of rental hours, but if your trip is shorter, your Bus Rental Company Pasco representative will work with you to find a package that fits your schedule and budget. Trips that span multiple days, like a weekend conference at the HAPO Center, are typically charged by the day. Long-distance road trips to Spokane or Seattle will be charged by mileage. Make sure you have all your addresses ready to get an accurate quote.
Time of Year
Another factor that affects the cost of your bus rental is when you are traveling. Certain times of the year, like April, May, and June, tend to be more expensive for Pasco charter buses because of lower availability. The higher demand for bus rentals during these months is due to events like proms, school field trips, and weddings. Major local events like the Fiery Foods Festival or the Water Follies can also cause prices to spike. If your trip is planned around a popular event, demand will be high, making it harder and more expensive to get a bus. Always check your city’s event calendar and book at least 3-6 months in advance for the best rates.
Your Starting City
If your travel plans include a starting point in a less populated area, Pasco charter bus prices can increase due to lower vehicle availability. Booking on short notice in these areas can also raise your rate. You might also face extra fees if your bus has to travel a long distance from its home base to meet you at your pickup location. This mileage that gathers without any passengers on board is known as “deadhead.” To reduce this cost, try to book a bus from a charter company that operates near your pickup or drop-off location. Luckily, Bus Rental Company Pasco has a huge network of partners, so we can often find a bus close to you to keep deadhead costs low.
Your Route’s Travel Fees
Some routes may include additional travel fees like parking permits. Since some bus companies don’t include these in their quotes, ask ahead of time if you are required to pay for things like parking passes as they happen. If you’re planning to attend an event at a large venue like the Toyota Center in Kennewick or Gesa Stadium, it’s a good idea to contact the venue ahead of time for motorcoach parking information. Taking a few minutes to plan for these extra costs can help you keep your Pasco group trip on budget. Our team is always here to help you think through these details.
The Type of Bus
The most obvious thing that will influence your bus rental cost is the type of bus you book. With our selection of sprinter vans, minibuses, party buses, and charter buses in Pasco, you’ll have plenty of options. A full-sized motorcoach is your best choice for long-distance trips since they often have more storage and amenities like restrooms. For shorter, local trips, consider renting a minibus instead. A minibus rental will usually have lower hourly and daily rates than a Pasco motorcoach. For celebrations, a party bus with features like wraparound seating and great sound systems will cost more than a standard shuttle bus.

The Day of the Week
Weekend rentals, which include Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, are generally more expensive than rentals on weekdays. When there’s less demand for Pasco bus rentals, like on a Tuesday or Wednesday, you’ll often be charged a lower price. On Friday and Saturday nights, when demand for buses is highest for weddings and parties, companies usually increase the minimum rental hours and charge a higher rate. If your event can be moved to earlier in the week, consider a weekday to get the best possible rate. Prom season, which falls on weekends in the spring, is one of the busiest and most expensive times to rent a bus, so we strongly advise booking early.
Time of Day
Want to save a few bucks on your Pasco bus rental? Consider booking a daytime trip! Because charter and party buses are so popular for nights out, weddings, and concerts, most companies charge higher hourly rates in the evening (after 6 p.m.) to meet the demand. Friday and Saturday nights are typically when bus companies see the highest volume of requests, so you’re almost guaranteed a higher price during peak weekend times. Certain days, like a Monday or Wednesday afternoon, may even have a reduced minimum number of rental hours required for your booking. A daytime wine tour on Red Mountain could be more affordable than a night out in Kennewick.
Cost-Saving Tips
Want to save a little on your next Pasco bus rental? It’s easier than you might think! Here are a few tips to get the best possible price on your rental. First, have a final headcount before you book. Adding people might require a larger bus and increase your cost. Second, reduce deadhead mileage by booking a bus that’s already in the Tri-Cities area. Third, book your trip early, especially if it’s happening in April, May, or June. Also, try to find venues like Sacajawea State Park with easy parking for oversized vehicles and ask hotels about free parking for your bus. Following these simple tips can help your group travel on a budget.
