It’s time to make travel plans for your large group or club, and you have been tasked with this responsibility. Your group could fly, go by train, carpool caravan-style, or charter a bus rental. You must find the best mode of transportation, without breaking the bank.
How to Save Money on Your Group Tours
If you have been assigned to handling travel arrangements for your group, you know even the best-laid plans can experience a hiccup or two.
You may have figured traveling by a group bus rental might be the most cost-effective route, and may be considering planes, trains, and automobiles as other viable options. But what about convenience and affordability?
1. Traveling by Plane
A charter bus rental will be perfect to solve the logistics of getting everyone to the airport on time.
There’s another fact to consider – travelers within the United State are required to have a “Real ID”. According to US Travel, 99 million Americans lack the proper identification to travel by plane. There may be someone in your group without the right identification.
The cost of air travel may also be steep for the entire group. According to Inc, traveling by air is the most expensive mode of transportation. Cost alone is a good reason not to choose this travel option.
2. Going by Train
Trains are another choice of transportation, and can even be cost-effective. Still, you’ll need to get everyone to the train station on time.
While going by train may offer similar benefits to a group bus rental, such as cost-efficiency, it lacks the ease of usage, which can take all the fun out of traveling.
3. Carpool Caravan Style
There are a few benefits to carpooling. Freedom in travel, choosing your own route, and having a personal vehicle with you on your trip are a few. However, you do sacrifice safety and potentially reliability when driving multiple vehicles on the road.
Carpooling with a caravan is an option, but not cost-effective, and it’s also risky.
4. Bus Rentals
After weighing all your options, and factoring all the risks along with the benefits, it makes sense to choose a bus rental for your travel plans in a large group. Safety, cost-efficiency, reliability, and comfortability. These are only a few perks of group bus rentals, the list goes on.
The question is which charter service is the one for you?
What to Consider When Choosing a Charter Bus Service
You have determined that a bus rental is best for your large group, and now you must find the right one. Safety, reliability, and affordability are just a few of the things to consider.
