It’s best to book your charter bus as early as possible—ideally 3 to 6 months before your event, especially if it falls during peak seasons like spring or fall. Large events such as school graduations, sports tournaments, and festivals can quickly deplete local availability. For trips during less busy times, 1 to 2 months’ notice may be sufficient. However, we can often accommodate last-minute requests if you need a bus on short notice. Booking early ensures the best selection of vehicles and the most competitive rates.
