 With the rising costs of fuel and labor in 2022, many are wondering if charter bus prices are increasing or will be increasing soon. Some companies are passing these costs along to clients in the way of fuel surcharges and increased rates.
Since USA Bus Charter has over 1000 registered operators nationwide, we are placing our clients business with those who are attempting to operate without increased costs for fuel or service and passing those increases along to clients. Only 1 of 10 charters we are currently doing are effected by a fuel surcharge or price increase prior to service. As the costs of diesel continue to drop, so will the assessment of those fuel surcharges by certain companies. USA Bus Charter works very hard to provide our clients with pricing that reflects the true and actual cost of the charter. What we are seeing is clients who are electing to go with the "lowest price" only to realize that in the days or weeks before their charter service is to be provided, a massive surcharge is accessed. If the price is too good to be true, it probably is so we caution our clients when being offered such a price. We are actively doing all we can to keep charter bus rental prices low and pass discounts from our operators on to our clients.  USA Bus Charter knows that it can be a challenge for many clients to find a charter bus right now. We've been helping clients for decades and when you call USA Bus Charter, we remove all the hassles, stress and worries from having to shop around to find the right bus charter at the right price. Here's why it can be difficult right now to find a bus charter.
Nationwide Shortage of Drivers During 2020 in the midst of the COVID pandemic, the charter bus industry came to a halt as groups were not traveling. Many drivers left the charter bus business and went to drive other commercial vehicles for shipping and freight companies, trucking companies and other industries that required commercial driving experience. While many drivers returned to the charter bus business in 2021 when things started to open and business was getting back to normal, many did not. Thus, there are charter bus operations nationwide that have buses available but do not have professional drivers to operate the buses. Fewer Charter Bus Companies COVID took it's toll on plenty of charter bus operations during 2020. As operations for many came to a stand still operators lost buses and many decided to close their doors. When business started to return in 2021, there were fewer companies than ever to support the needs of clients who were anxious to get back out there and travel. Thus, there is a nationwide shortage of charter bus operations and the demand for bus charter service is greater than the current supply. Reduction in Fleet Size Some charter bus companies nationwide were forced to downsize. Many companies returned newer leased and/or financed buses they could not afford to pay for during 2020 and kept buses that were paid for and didn't have lease/finance payments. This caused a reduction in fleet size. Thus, once again making fewer buses available once the industry started to see a return in 2021.

With almost 40 years of experience in the corporate, airport and group transportation business, USA Bus Charter is seeing for the first time in our history of there being more demand for group transportation than the current U.S. supply of buses can accommodate. In 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, hundreds of motor coach companies closed their doors. This resulted in thousands of buses throughout the U.S. being taken off the road and not becoming available for charter.
These companies who closed either on a temporary or permanent basis also lost thousands of professional motor coach operators (drivers). These driver's were forced to take employment in other industries. Many moved in the trucking sector as well as other industries. As the U.S. began to re-open in 2021 and groups were able to assemble and travel, the supply of buses available as well as the shortage of drivers simply is not enough to meet the demands our industry is facing. Companies who were able to continue in business are attempting to expand operations by adding more buses and training new drivers but with uncertainty as to where we will be in terms of COVID-19 mandates 3 months or 6 months from now, operators are skeptical. USA Bus Charter has a vast network, one of the largest in the U.S. of qualified, licensed and insured operators from coast to coast. We are working hard each day to expand that network by adding new operators to service our clients throughout the U.S. We are encouraging all clients to please reserve their group transportation as early as possible to avoid not having a bus for their transportation or paying more for their bus as market conditions change.
