The Benefits of Hiring Charter Bus Services

If you’re going somewhere with a large group of people, transportation can often be one of the trickiest things to get organized. From work retreats to youth group excursions, to big family reunions- hiring a charter bus service is an amazing way to make sure your group’s transportation is organized and runs smoothly. 

Four Big Reasons to Choose a Charter Bus Service

1. Environmentally Friendly

Cut down on your group’s carbon footprint by renting a charter bus! We all know that carpooling is a great environmentally friendly transportation option, however the same is true about transporting your group in a charter bus. Fun fact- a charter bus is approximately 206.6 passenger miles per gallon, as compared to a car which averages 27.2 passenger miles per gallon, or even a commercial airplane which is approximately 44 miles a gallon. A charter bus is an amazing way to reduce carbon emissions and still get to where you need to go.

2. Professional Driving

No more worrying over your Google Maps or in-car direction apps! One of the best parts about chartering a bus for your group is that you will have a professional driver with a proven track record who knows where they’re going. Your driver will plan out your detailed route ahead of time, and all you will have to do is sit back and relax with those around you.

3. Keep to Your Schedule

Asking a large group of people to organize transportation to and one from location, let alone multiple locations, can be a total nightmare. One of the biggest benefits of a charter bus service is that your entire group will be arriving and leaving at the same time. This also means that you can use your bus time to go over some key things look group logistics, or trip rules if you’re riding with children and youth. Chartering a school bus will allow you to keep to your schedule as well as provide some built-in time for group leaders to go over important information.

4. Get Valuable Group Time

Perhaps one of the biggest benefits of hiring charter bus services is the incredible opportunity for bonding and group time on the bus. Communal transportation is an amazing way to get to know those around you. Especially if you’re traveling with children and youth, the bus provides a valuable opportunity for ice-breaker activities and ‘getting to know you’ games before you arrive at your destination. Charting a bus can be both convenient and fun!
