About Bus
A single local bus company might only own minibuses or be completely sold out on your date, forcing you to spend hours calling around San Diego and comparing quotes that never quite line up. With Bus
| What Matters to Your Group | Bus | Calling a Single San Diego Bus Company |
|---|---|---|
| Bus types | Sprinter vans, 15- to 35-passenger minibuses, 15- to 50-passenger party buses and 56-passenger charter buses, side by side | Only the bus types one company owns, if one is open on your date |
| Getting prices | Online prices in under 30 seconds from one quick form, with no account needed | Calling company after company during business hours, repeating your trip and waiting on callbacks |
| Peak dates | Independent bus companies compete for your trip, even on prom and game dates | One company's peak-date rates, or no bus at all if it's sold out |
| Last-minute and big groups | Same-day rentals, and one bus or several for a wedding, convention or team | Only the buses and drivers one company has free |
| Packages | Hourly, one-way, round-trip, multi-stop, split-time, full-day or multi-day | That company's own minimums and packages |
| After you book | An instant booking confirmation, then a call to go over every pickup, drop-off and stop | Varies by company |
