What Affects Your Price
Rather than calling local bus companies one by one, you can see how these six pricing factors shape your rate in one quick search! Because Bangor
Because you can compare tons of different bus types in one place, the size and style you pick will play the biggest role in your price. A compact 18-passenger minibus or a sprinter van costs less than a party bus with LED lighting or a full-size 56-passenger charter bus with an onboard restroom. You choose the exact vehicle that fits YOUR headcount and budget!
You don't have to pay for a full day if you only need a quick shuttle down Main Street to the Cross Insurance Center! Local Bangor trips are usually priced by the hour, while long-distance trips are billed by the day or mile.
Find a bus right where your group is starting to keep "deadhead" mileage costs low! Deadhead is the time a bus spends driving empty from its home lot to your pickup spot at Bangor International Airport (BGR) or your hotel along Odlin Road. Because our network covers Bangor, Brewer, Orono, and all of Maine, you'll match with a nearby operator!
Finding the right budget means factoring in route expenses like I-95 Maine Turnpike tolls or oversized vehicle parking permits at Bar Harbor and downtown Bangor venues. These out-of-pocket fees aren't built into your initial quote so you never pay markups on them!
We help you compare multi-day packages for trips across New England, which require a private 3-star hotel room for your driver to rest between shifts. Nonstop journeys require two drivers.
You'll usually see lower hourly rates and shorter minimums when you book your Bangor bus rental between Monday and Thursday! Friday nights, Saturdays, and Sundays are in high demand for Bangor weddings, waterfront concerts, and weekend trips. If your schedule is flexible, shifting your outing to a weekday is an easy way to save!
Ways to Save
Ride on a weekday. Weekday hourly rates in the table start below weekend rates for most buses, and Sunday through Thursday typically run the lowest rates.
Fill the seats you pay for. A bigger bus costs more per hour but less per person: a full 56-passenger charter bus starts under $4 per person, per hour.
Book early. Booking early gives you the widest choice of buses for your date.
Keep your pickups together. Every extra pickup adds time on the clock, so one meeting spot keeps the hours, and the price, down.
