Why are Rates so much Lower on this Site?

Most websites first found on the Internet are brokers, networks or "specialists". Most customers are unaware these third party services add an average markup of 38% to your price. For groups preferring to bypass these commissions, BusRates.com offers the first free database of companies that own the buses they charter. (BusRates.com makes money from its advertisers only.) So whether you're a group looking to charter directly, or a reseller looking for "wholesale rates", BusRates.com gives you the information you need to quickly find specific bus types without the legwork, helping you save the most time and money of any site online today!

How Can You Verify that a Company Owns Buses?

Many companies in the BusRates.com database display their USDOT or MC number under their address. This links directly to their Department of Transportation (DOT) registration page. This page confirms the number of registered buses the company owns as well as their inspection record, insurance verification and safety rating. Run a search in the search box above to view fleet and rate information in your area.

Use BusRates.com like a souped-up "yellow pages" directory to:

Searching for the right company from which to rent a bus can be a difficult task. Coach rental can be arranged in a variety of sizes and types, and finding specific information can be like searching for a needle in a haystack.

BusRates.com enables you to find the "specifics" that would've been too time-consuming to compile yourself. Get more out of your bus charter experience with less work.

So whether you need charter bus rental for an airport transfer, local shuttling, bus tour, company outting, wedding, birthday party, bachelor/bachelorette party, corporate event, athletic team, family reunion, school event, sightseeing, extended trip, or any other group bus charter service or ground transportation, we are your directory resource for finding the right tour bus for your group.
