Several factors influence the price of your Scranton bus rental, including the size and type of vehicle, the duration of your trip, and the distance traveled. Larger buses with more amenities, such as WiFi, power outlets, and restrooms, typically cost more than smaller, more basic models. The length of your rental—whether it’s a few hours, a full day, or multiple days—also affects the total price. Additionally, the time of year can impact rates, with higher demand during peak seasons like spring and summer. Finally, any special requests or customizations, such as specific pick-up locations or onboard features, may add to the overall cost.
