Benefits of Using a Luxury Charter Bus For Your Next Group Trip

If you are planning on going for a group road trip at some point in the near future, then here is exactly why I would recommend that you consider a luxury charter bus and travel together instead of just taking individual cars.

Cost

When you’ve added up the cost of gas, tolls, insurance, maintenance…etc, the cost of a bus is significantly cheaper than if you were to add up how much you would pay to take your own cars. I have actually booked a bus without realizing that it would be cheaper. It seemed to make sense for many other reasons, but by the end we realized that each family saved around $100 each from taking this option, a wonderful bonus which helps the pocket a little bit.

Traveling Together

One of the biggest benefits which we all enjoyed was being able to travel together. This made the entire trip so much better and it also meant that the kids could all entertain each other on the journey rather than be forced to sit in different cars, away from their friends. I would even go as far to say that the bus journey was one of the highlights of the whole trip and we laughed and had some great conversations during our time aboard the bus.

Less Problems

I can only remember one year in the last 10 where there were no problems at all with the cars that we took, each other year featured a breakdown or an accident which cost us both time and money. When you charter a bus rental however there is little risk of anything happening and even if something were to happen it is the responsibility of the bus company to repair, rather than the people who are on the trip.

Responsibility

In the group it is generally the same people who drive each year, or at least who do the lion’s share, and we certainly enjoyed not having the responsibility to drive. This meant that we were able to have a few beers without worrying about driving afterwards and it also meant that on those days where you feel tired and you just can’t be bothered to drive, that you didn’t have to get behind the wheel but instead could catch up on some sleep at the back of the bus.
