However, when you get the family together for a trip away, the costs can add up quickly and it can become very expensive. Food, transport, entertainment and all of the other costs associated with a family reunion can be quite extravagant if you don’t keep them in check.
The last thing you want is for some family members to be unable to attend because they simply can’t afford it. To save money and lower your costs, one of the best places to start is to leave your vehicles at home and hire a bus charter instead. Opting for a bus charter, rather than self-driving can save you money in multiple ways and make the entire trip more affordable for everyone.
Let’s take a closer look at just a few ways that bus charter can save you money at your next family reunion.
Travelling with multiple vehicles, your fuel costs will add up very quickly. Try adding the price of the fuel for each vehicle and each leg of the journey together, you will soon see just how significant cost it is.
With bus charter, on the other hand, your fuel costs will be included in the overall price of the rental, saving you and your family a small fortune in fuel costs.
Depending on where you’re going for your family reunion, parking costs for multiple vehicles can be very expensive. Concert venues, sporting events, theme parks and even public parking at beaches cost a lot.
And, if you are travelling in a convoy of cars, not only will this drive up the price but also just finding multiple spaces near each other can be a huge hassle. With a bus charter, your driver can drop your group where you need to be and come back to pick you up at an agreed time.
Organising group travel can be stressful at the best of times and keeping everyone to a schedule can be even more difficult. Someone will almost always be late and the result, generally, is your group becoming fragmented. Having all of your family on one bus charter, means you all arrive at the destination at the same time.
With this in mind, you can save a lot of money by booking group tickets. Many venues will offer discounted booking s for groups as low as eight people. If you want your bus charter to take you and your family to a musical, a show or sports event, you will be able to take advantage of these discounts and save money, assuming you arrive as a group.
Eating out in Australia can be expensive. Taking your family members to a restaurant when lunch or dinnertime rolls around, will cost a lot. Add on the cost of beer, wine and soft drinks and suddenly you have an astronomical bill on your hands.
Hiring a bus charter will alleviate these costs as you can bring your food with you. With all of the space in the luggage hold, you can pack in picnic tables, chairs, the barbeque and an Esky full of cold drinks. Get everyone to chip in ahead of time and you’ll have enough supplies to feed everyone for the duration of the trip.
Hiring bus charter can help you to save a lot of money at your next family reunion and make the event more affordable for everyone. Simply set a budget before the trip and get everyone to contribute their share.
Once you have all of the money collected, you can organise your trip properly, book your bus charter and enjoy the savings. Why not put the money you save towards food, drinks, and entertainment? With more funds to allocate to these elements of the trip, you can make sure that your family reunion is one to remember.
