You’ll get an exact price when you call for a quote—rates are all-inclusive except for driver gratuity and any tolls or parking fees.

Several factors influence the final cost of your Akron charter bus rental including the dates of your trip, the type of bus you book, the number of passengers in your group, how far you plan to travel, and whether you need any special amenities. 

If you book your bus during a busy travel season or around a major event in Akron, you may end up paying more. For example, if you’re traveling to the University of Akron for a Zips game at InfoCision Stadium-Summa Field or planning a trip to Blossom Music Center during concert season, you may see higher rates due to increased demand. 

Larger buses with more seats and premium amenities like WiFi, power outlets, and onboard restrooms will also cost more than smaller, simpler models. And if your itinerary includes long distances or multiple days, that will be reflected in the price as well.
