1. Type and Size of Bus: Larger vehicles generally cost more than smaller ones, but the price per seat goes down as capacity increases. A 56-passenger charter bus is more expensive than a 25-passenger minibus, but less expensive than renting two minibuses. Specialty vehicles like party buses or entertainer coaches are the most expensive due to custom amenities.

2. Distance and Duration: Local trips are typically charged by the hour (with a 4-5 hour minimum), while longer trips are billed by the mile or day. Multi-day trips incur daily rates plus mileage. All rates include deadhead—the miles the bus travels empty to and from the garage.

3. Time of Year: Spring and summer are peak seasons due to school trips, sports, and weddings. Rates are higher from April to June and September to October. You can save by traveling in the off-season (December–February).

4. Trip Details: Additional costs may include tolls, parking, lodging for the driver (required by law for overnight trips), and gratuity (standard is 10-20%). Special requests like Wi-Fi, PA systems, or custom pickups can affect the price.

5. Supply and Demand: Events like University of Oklahoma football games, festivals, or large conventions increase demand and prices. Booking early secures availability and better rates.
