Renting a multi-seater bus offers many options for comfortable and safe travel, so bus travel has always been a very popular way to travel. Given modern trends and adaptations, modern, up-to-date buses now offer many additional options for comfortable and safe travel.
This guide will take you through all the factors that affect the price of renting a bus, the different sizes of buses available and also how to book your bus transport.
Factors that can affect the amount of the bus rental price
Renting a bus with a driver is a great opportunity for a pleasant, affordable trip for medium and large groups of tourists, business guests, sports teams, various school groups, religious associations, to organize transport to weddings and parties, to various business events and conferences, to various concerts and for the needs of state bodies and the army.
Group size and bus size
In the first step, you need to determine the exact size of the group, as this is the only way you will be able to find a bus that will suit your needs. A minibus is a great option for transporting families or extended families or small groups, while medium and large buses are a better option for medium and large groups of people with more luggage.

Booking time
It is very important that you book your bus and pay the booking deposit as soon as you can. We recommend booking a bus at least 6-9 months before the trip. This way you will be able to sleep peacefully and organize all the other things important for unforgettable trips (hotels, guides, tickets, etc.). This is especially true if you need more buses and have a large number of passengers.
In any case, buses are also available at the last minute, as we are specialists in travel and bus rental at the last minute.

Time of year
The most effective way to reduce the cost of renting a bus is to travel in the non-tourist season. However, today Europe is a very famous and desirable destination even in winter, mainly because of the possibility of travelling in a magical winter idyll with snow or with the possibility of organizing transportation for winter sports teams (jumping teams, hockey clubs, Nordic skiers, etc.), with transportation to (pre-Christmas and New Year’s) concerts, religious pilgrimages and visits to religious sites, etc.
Who will drive the bus
The cost of renting a bus is also affected by the fact whether you need one or two drivers to carry out your route. All our drivers are professional bus drivers with a mandatory license, who know all European cities and find themselves in them perfectly. Our experts will always advise you on all your questions regarding the rules and restrictions regarding the driving of bus drivers, but there is a basic rule that the driver cannot drive indefinitely and needs mandatory rest.
Travel distances and fuel price
The price of renting a bus is also influenced by the price of fuel and the travel distance. To ensure safe driving and to respect EU standards and rules that set working time for the driver and his mandatory breaks, our experienced multilingual advisers will always ask you about your exact travel program and also advise you on any changes if necessary.
Pro tip: When you send an inquiry to rent a bus with a driver, always attach a travel itinerary.
