Sample Trip Pricing Examples
Example #1
A middle school in Aurora is taking 120 eighth-graders and 10 teachers on a field trip to the Denver Museum of Nature & Science, the Colorado State Capitol, and the History Colorado Center. They need three full-size charter buses (each seating 56 passengers) for a single-day trip. Each bus will pick up students at the school at 8:00 AM, drop them off at various museum and government locations throughout the day, and return to Aurora by 4:00 PM. Total estimated mileage for each bus is 60 miles.
Final cost: $2,000 per bus x 3 buses = $6,000 + $600 driver tip (10%) = $6,600 total ($55 per person)
Example #2
A tech company in Boulder is hosting a two-day training seminar at a hotel in the Denver Tech Center and needs transportation for 40 employees. They book one 56-passenger charter bus to shuttle everyone to the venue on Monday morning and back to Boulder on Tuesday evening, with the bus staying at the hotel overnight. Estimated round-trip mileage is 70 miles per day, for a total of 140 miles.
Final cost: $2,000 per day x 2 days = $4,000 + $400 driver tip (10%) = $4,400 total ($110 per person)
Example #3
A couple is getting married at a resort in Colorado Springs and books a minibus (seating up to 28) to shuttle guests between the hotel, ceremony, and reception venues. The shuttle will operate for 8 hours on Saturday, making continuous loops. Since the trip is local and based on time rather than distance, the rental is charged by the hour.
Final cost: $150 per hour x 8 hours = $1,200 + $240 driver tip (20%) = $1,440 total
Example #4
A college basketball team in Fort Collins needs to travel to Colorado Springs for a weekend tournament. They book one charter bus (seating 56) to transport 15 players, coaches, and equipment. The bus will take the team to the venue on Friday, stay with them for practices and games, and bring them home Sunday. Estimated round-trip mileage is 300 miles.
Final cost: $4.50 per mile x 300 miles = $1,350 + $270 driver tip (20%) = $1,620 total ($108 per person)
Example #5
A church group in Littleton is attending a three-day retreat in Estes Park and rents a charter bus (seating 56) to transport 45 members and luggage. The bus will drop the group off Friday evening, stay in Estes Park, and return them Sunday afternoon. Estimated round-trip mileage is 200 miles.
Final cost: $2,000 per day x 3 days = $6,000 + $1,200 driver tip (20%) = $7,200 total ($160 per person)
Example #6
A group of 20 friends is celebrating a bachelor party with a night out in downtown Denver. They rent a minibus (seating 28) for 6 hours to shuttle between bars, restaurants, and clubs. The rental is charged by the hour.
Final cost: $150 per hour x 6 hours = $900 + $180 driver tip (20%) = $1,080 total ($54 per person)
