Group outings have to be fun-filled. Would you go using your small car and travel as convoy with the rest of the group? Or would it not be more enjoyable to ride in just one vehicle that can accommodate all of you? The latter seems more economical, even if the bigger transportation has to be rented. Cars can only accommodate 5 passengers and if there are 30 of you, then you would be using 6 cars and how much would the gas expense be, collectively? This is not to mention the hassle on the 6 drivers. Hiring a vehicle such as mini-bus or coach can be a better option and more practical at that.
Here are descriptions of bigger vehicles which can be rented out from any rental company in your vicinity.
*Mini-bus and party bus
A mini-bus can accommodate comfortably some 24, 28 and 32 passengers and the party bus has a passenger capacity of 36. There will be enough room for luggage and bags that each passenger decides to bring along. Rent-A-Car companies do not limit their fleet to autos, sedans or limousines. They also cater to the needs of bigger groups so if you need a huge passenger vehicle, then renting a mini-bus from them is a wise decision.
The mini-buses of these companies are equipped with amenities. The unit is equipped with dual heat or air-conditioning systems. The seats are plush, soft and comfortable. There is a DVD surround sound system, televisions and DVD players. The whole vehicle is illuminated with soft recessed light.
*Coach and charter bus
This has a bigger capacity so if there are more passengers - 40 to 57 head count - then this is the vehicle for the group. These transportations are super convenient and comfortable. It has cloth interior, the seats are reclining and there is lavatory. The coach is also equipped with heating and air-conditioning, intercom system and overhead luggage space. There is ample room for all the luggage brought in by the passengers.
These coaches or charter buses set the standard for quality and functionality. They are equipped with televisions, DVD/VCR players, CD player, AM/FM stereo system so that no matter how many hours of travel time there is, the passengers will never get bored and anxious.
Car rental companies set minimum number of hours for every use of their vehicles. Usually, the rental is pegged for a minimum of 4 hours. The more passengers are to be accommodated, the higher is the rate. For an idea on how much the rental would cost you - for the mini bus, it usually is $ 380, $ 475 and $570 for 4, 5, 6 hours use, respectively. The party bus will cost more as it takes in more passengers. For the coach or charter bus, the normal rental rate is $396, $ 495, $594 for 4, 5, 6 hours use. The rate can be adjusted if you are to use the vehicle for longer period of time. Arrangements can always be made with the rental company.
For group travel tours and trips, whether it is for sheer outing or business conventions and meetings, the use of bigger vehicles is more practical than traveling with a convoy of many cars. There are many rent-a-car companies that render this kind of service.
