If you are planning a trip for a group, one of the most important things you have to decide is how everyone will get where they need to go. That means if you are planning to bring all of your employees to a work retreat or conference, you want to bring your friends, family, or other group sightseeing or to an event, there are a lot of good reasons to rent a charter bus. Here are some of the benefits:

• It is a very environmentally friendly way to go. Many consumers today are concerned about the products they buy and the impact their decisions have on the environment. While traveling via charter bus may not be what people think of when they think about environmentally friendly travel. It is one of the best ways to go if you want to be eco-friendly. Charter buses average about 206.6 passenger miles per gallon. When you consider that compared to a car, which averages 27.2 passengers miles per gallon (46 for hybrids) and the 44 passenger miles per gallon for commercial airplanes, you can see how much better it is to rent a charter bus.

• It is much less stressful to rent a charter bus. There are a lot of things that add stress to your experience when you go another way besides making the choice to rent a charter bus. When your group is all together in a chartered bus, no one has to worry about adding mileage to their personal car, having enough gas in the tank, dealing with other drivers on the road, or paying for tolls and parking. Everyone can sit back, relax, and get to your destination under less stress.
• When you rent a charter bus, your driver is a professional. They will work out the route and they have a proven track record of safely driving the bus. They can figure out better routes if and when they find problems with the route, such as delays with traffic.
• Charter buses are much more cost effective than any other form of travel. When you take the number of people in your group and divide the cost of the trip, you can see that per person this is a very cost-effective way to go. There is just no other way to travel this cheaply. You will not break your budget when you rent a charter bus.
• You can devote your time getting to your location by doing something other than drive. Whether you are traveling with coworkers to a retreat or a conference, taking everyone to a family or school reunion, or are taking a sightseeing tour, you can use the time en route in a better way than driving. Your charter bus can be a mobile conference room to ready everyone for a big presentation. If you are going to see historic sights, you can watch videos to see what you need to know about the place you are visiting.
• Everyone will get to your destination on time and at the same time. When everyone has to find their own way to where you want to go, it is almost impossible to coordinate everything so that everyone is on time. This may not matter if you are going to go sightseeing but if you have to be somewhere at a specific time, going on a charter bus is the way to do. You also do not have to worry about anyone in your party getting lost.
• Charter buses are comfortable. These are not your grandmother’s charter buses. The charter buses on the road today have comfy seats, a clean bathroom, and a bevy of amenities such as DVD players, WiFi, power outlets, and other extras that can make the journey more relaxing and comfortable.
• You can travel on your own schedule. When you rent a charter bus, you leave when you want to leave and you go back when you want to go back. Other than having everyone drive their own cars this is the most flexible way to go.
