Several key factors influence the final price of your Bismarck charter bus rental:

• Vehicle size and type: Larger buses (56-passenger) cost more than smaller minibuses (18–28 passengers). Specialty vehicles—like party buses or ADA-accessible coaches—may carry a premium.
• Trip duration and distance: Local rentals are billed hourly (typically 5-hour minimum); longer trips use daily or per-mile rates. Multi-day charters incur higher base fees plus driver lodging.
• Time of year: Spring and fall are peak seasons due to school, sports, and event travel. Summer and winter rates may be lower except during major events.
• Days of the week: Weekends, especially Saturdays, are more expensive than weekdays.
• Itinerary complexity: Multiple pickup/drop-off locations, tight schedules, or downtown routing (e.g., near the Capitol, BSC campus, or Event Center) add to the cost.
• Last-minute bookings: Short-notice rentals (less than two weeks) are subject to availability surcharges.
• Additional fees: Toll roads (I-94, US-83), parking permits, driver hotel and meals, and optional amenities (Wi-Fi, PA system) may not be included in the base quote.
