If traveling with a tour group of family or friends or both, consider chartering a bus. Yes ? like one of those big coach buses that you often see cruising along the expressway. If charter buses are good enough for the likes of diva celebrities such as Mariah Carey, then they’re good enough for your tour group.
Traveling by bus offers a number of unique benefits, and there are several advantages that make it a superior form of group travel. Here are just a few:
More fun, much less stress
Solo travel is hard enough, regardless of how you’re getting from point A to B. And traveling with a group only adds to the inherent stress of traveling. This is especially true if the group has young children or is large in size. A poor travel experience can make it difficult to enjoy your destination once you arrive. Charter buses make it incredibly easy and simple to travel with a group by taking the hassle out of driving, navigating, and keeping track of group members. It’s an entirely effortless way to travel!
Safe and sound
Safety and security are a major concern for many travelers, especially given a string of public tragedies over the past decade. Although airlines go above and beyond to minimize risks, there are still inherent dangers that come with air travel. And the process of going through airport security can be stressful. Similarly, driving a personal vehicle also has its inherent risks and can cause stress to both the driver and vehicle. According to CNN Money, charter buses are one of the safest ways to travel, especially because their drivers are professionally trained and experienced.
Cost savings
Air travel is considerably more expensive than traveling by bus, and driving your personal vehicle can be costly too. Baggage fees, taxes, and taxi fares or rental car costs add to the expensive of air travel. Similarly, gas prices, wear and tear, and vehicle maintenance add to the cost of driving your personal vehicle. Charter buses are one of the most affordable ways to travel, and have surprisingly low environmental impact. Their sustainability can be credited to their ability to carry a large number of passengers, as charter buses use less fuel per person than a sedan.
Although no form of travel is without its cons, you can’t get much better than charter buses. They’re affordable, convenient, comfortable, safe, and environmentally sustainable ? things every traveler wants out of their travel experience.
