Several key factors determine the final cost of your Ann Arbor charter bus rental:

• Vehicle Size and Type: Larger buses (50–56 passengers) cost more than smaller minibuses (18–35 passengers). Specialty vehicles like party buses or entertainer coaches may carry premium rates.
• Trip Duration and Distance: Longer trips with more miles and days on the road increase the total price. Local transfers may be billed hourly, while out-of-town trips are charged by the mile or day.
• Time of Year: Peak season in Ann Arbor runs from spring through fall, especially during University of Michigan events, football games, and wedding season. Rates are higher when demand is greatest.
• Pickup Location: If your trip starts outside a major city like Ann Arbor or Detroit, you may incur additional “deadhead” fees to cover the bus traveling empty to your pickup point.
• Itinerary Complexity: Multiple stops, layovers, or custom routing can add to the base cost.
• Additional Expenses: Tolls, parking fees, driver lodging (for multi-day trips), and a recommended 10–20% driver gratuity are typically not included in the base quote.
• Amenities: Buses with premium amenities—such as onboard Wi-Fi, power outlets, leather seats, or restroom facilities—may cost more than standard models.
