If you are planning a trip for a group of people, whether it is to go to an event or go sightseeing, you have some options. One of the best is chartering a bus. Coach buses have changed a lot over the years and today’s travel via coach charter buses is a lot different than it used to be. Here are some reasons to look into renting coach buses for your group:
- It is very comfortable. The seats are larger and more comfortable than what you are going to get in most coach sections of airplanes. You and your group will have plenty of room to stretch your legs on your journey.
- You can bring your stuff with you. If you are planning a day trip, this may not be as big of a deal but if you plan to be away for even a night, the people in your group are going to want to have bags with them. When you charter a coach bus, you have more room for your stuff and you know none of it will get lost.
- You can stay entertained on the bus. New coach buses have television screens, WiFI, and DVD players. If you are going to a historic site or some other attraction, you can show people more information about where you are going, which can make the whole experience more enjoyable.
- This is a convenient way to go. When you charter a bus, it will pick you up where you want to be picked up and take you where you want to go. If you are going to a few sites, you can set your own schedule and stay for as long at one place as you want. You are in control of your itinerary.
- You will get to your destination relaxed and refreshed. This can be important if you are sending employees to a conference. When everyone has to drive themselves, people can get stressed out on the road. When you have a professional driver, no one has to think about the route, the traffic, or stopping for gas. This means everyone will be in a better state of mind when you get where you are going.
- The more is really the merrier when you charter a bus. You can rent small charter buses if your group is smaller and get bigger buses to accommodate larger groups. The size of your group is up to you. This means no one in your group will be left out.
- Everyone will get to your destination at the same time. This can be important if you are going to something with a set start time. When everyone travels separately in their own cars, it is inevitable that someone will get lost along the way. When you all go by bus, you can prevent that.
- It will prevent people from putting wear and tear on their own vehicles. Travel can put a car or truck through its paces but you do not have to worry about that when everyone is riding together on a bus.
- It is good for the environment. This catches a lot of people by surprise but travel by bus is a lot better for the planet. In the first place, charter buses emit less carbon dioxide than any other type of transportation per passenger mile. They also get better per passenger mile gas mileage. Consider this, a car gets 27.2 (46 for a hybrid) passenger miles per gallon, a commuter train will get 92.4 passenger miles per gallon. Coach buses get 206.6 passenger miles per gallon. If you care about the environment, this is the way to go.
- There is a restroom on board. When you have everyone driving their own cars and trucks, people will have to stop for gas and to use the bathroom. When you charter a bus for your group, this will not be necessary. You will have the bathroom with you!
- It is more affordable than other methods of travel. When you are traveling with a group, you would be hard-pressed to find a more cost-effective way to go than on a coach bus. It is one of the most affordable ways to go anywhere.
