Understanding the Basics of Bus Rental Rates
When you book with Charter Bus Rental Company Savannah, your price is calculated based on the specific details of your itinerary. Charter bus pricing is broken down in one of two ways: per hour or per day/mile. For local trips within the Savannah city limits—such as a shuttle service between a hotel on Bay Street and a wedding venue like the Ships of the Sea Maritime Museum (41 Martin Luther King Jr Blvd, Savannah, GA 31401)—you will be charged an hourly rate with a minimum rental requirement (usually 4 to 5 hours). This ensures that the bus and driver are dedicated solely to your group for the duration of your event. For long-distance trips—say, traveling from Savannah to Atlanta, Charleston, or Orlando—pricing is usually calculated by the day or by the mile. We pride ourselves on having no extra fees, so the price you see is the price you pay for the service provided. By understanding these base rates, you can better plan your itinerary to maximize your budget.
Factors That Influence Your Price Quote
Several variable factors play a significant role in the final cost of your Savannah charter bus rental. The first major factor is the time of year. Savannah is a massive tourist destination, particularly in the spring and fall when the weather is perfect. If you are planning a trip during peak season—especially around St. Patrick's Day, which is one of the largest celebrations in the country here in Savannah—demand is incredibly high, and prices will reflect that. Conversely, booking during the quieter winter months (January and February) or the heat of July and August can often yield lower rates. Another factor is the day of the week; weekend rentals (Friday through Sunday) command a higher price point than a Tuesday or Wednesday rental. Finally, how far in advance you book matters. We always recommend booking at least 3 to 6 months in advance to lock in the best rates and ensure availability, especially if you have a large group or specific vehicle requests. Last-minute bookings are welcome, but availability may be limited and costs higher.
Bus Type Matters: Minibuses vs. Charter Buses
The size and type of vehicle you choose will have a direct impact on your total cost. Charter Bus Rental Company Savannah offers a diverse fleet ranging from 18-passenger minibuses to full-size 56-passenger motorcoaches. Naturally, a larger bus with more capacity and amenities will cost more than a smaller shuttle. If you are moving a smaller group for a quick dinner at The Olde Pink House (23 Abercorn St, Savannah, GA 31401) or a ghost tour, a minibus is a cost-effective and agile choice that navigates Savannah’s narrow historic streets easily. However, if you are transporting a large school group, a sports team with equipment, or a large corporate delegation, a full-size charter bus is more economical on a per-person basis. These large coaches come equipped with onboard restrooms, extensive undercarriage luggage storage, and reclining seats, making them perfect for long hauls. When you call 478-447-8010, our reservation agents will help you determine the most efficient vehicle size so you aren't paying for empty seats you don't need.

Frequently Asked Questions About Savannah Pricing
How far in advance should I book my charter bus in Savannah?
We highly recommend booking your charter bus as soon as your date and venue are confirmed. Ideally, you should aim to book 3 to 6 months in advance. If you are planning a trip during a major Savannah event, such as St. Patrick's Day or during peak wedding season (March-May and September-November), booking 6 to 9 months in advance is advisable to ensure vehicle availability and the best possible pricing.
Do I need to pay a deposit?
Yes, a deposit is required to secure your reservation. When you speak with our reservation specialists or book online, you will pay a deposit to take the bus off the market for your specific dates. The remaining balance for your trip will be due prior to the date of service. This ensures that your vehicle is reserved exclusively for your group and allows us to prepare for your trip.
What happens if my trip goes over the scheduled time?
We understand that sometimes events run late or traffic happens. Your quote is based on the itinerary you provide. If your trip extends significantly beyond the agreed-upon time—for example, if a wedding reception runs an hour late or a sporting event goes into overtime—additional hourly charges may apply. We recommend padding your itinerary with a little extra time when booking to avoid potential overtime fees.
