Ok so, here’s the deal,
My class and I are going from our school in Mississauga to a skiing trip in Mont Tremblant, Quebec. The distance is 681km (approx.7 hours and 11 minutes). What bus must we rent (there’s 21 of us) to go there and come back. How much does it cost to rent the bus?
plzzz…help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Find local charter-bus companies and ask for price quotations. Buses come in different sizes, and the price is higher for a coach than a school bus. Some have toilets and some don’t. Most have DVD players. A Google search shows many charter companies operating out of the Toronto area. It will be quite expensive - a few years ago we paid $1200-$1500 for a 56-passenger coach for one day and about 700km of driving, and that was in a cheaper market than Toronto. We also provided meals for the driver and a tip.
Keep in mind that for a long trip, it’s helpful to have some extra space for people to spread out and for luggage.
Do you want a bus and driver to stay with you during the trip? Find out whether you will need to pay for the driver’s accommodation and meals or whether the company will take care of them. Bus drivers from Ontario are strictly limited in the length of their working day (I think it is 14 hours) so that may also be a planning concern.
