The main factors that affect the price of your bus rental are the size of the bus, the length and distance of your trip, the time of year, and any special amenities or requests. Larger buses cost more than smaller ones; longer trips (either by hours or miles) increase the total; peak seasons like spring, summer, and holidays can raise rates due to higher demand; and extras like upgraded seats or custom branding may add to the final bill. You’ll also need to budget for driver gratuity (standard is 10–20%), tolls, parking fees, and hotel rooms for the driver on overnight trips.

You should book your bus rental at least six months in advance for the best availability and rates, especially if your trip falls during Detroit’s busy season (April through June) when schools let out and major events like Movement Festival, Tigers Opening Day, and the Detroit Grand Prix fill the city’s calendar. Last-minute bookings are possible but may be limited to what’s left in the fleet and could cost more due to high demand—if you’re planning travel around big events at Little Caesars Arena, Ford Field, Huntington Place, or downtown parades, lock in your reservation as early as possible to ensure you get the right size vehicle and avoid paying premium rates.
