Group Transportation | How to choose the best group transportation company?

The best group transportation company is the one that you own. Because in your company you make and follow your own rules. Every transportation company has its own do's and don'ts. So if you are transporting too many people too often, then its time to buy a good bus and transport your group with no string attached. For example, companies have fixed hours of operations, so if your group wants to go out camping on a weekend then they will have to arrange their own private vehicles, which takes away the fun of traveling together in a group. Even if the company offers its vehicle for overnight rides, the prices will be too much to afford. Once again, a one time trip maybe affordable but when people get the hang of traveling and camping together in a group, they often want more and more of it. If your group plans to gather every week, then hiring a bus service is definitely not a good option. On average the cost of renting a 15 passenger minibus is approximately $120/hour. Hiring a small bus for an entire day can be as high as $1,200 to $1,500. This is not a financially viable option, if it has to be done religiously for more than 50 weekends in a year. Churches are the perfect example. their members need to gather every Sunday, if they hire a bus every weekend, it will burn a huge hole in their pockets, hence most churches prefer to buy a second hand bus rather than hire them. This is how every church takes care of its own transportation requirement.

It all depends on how big the group is and how often they have to travel. If a construction company needs to frequently transport employees from the head quarters to the construction site, then they need to arrange their own transportation because hiring a bus service every day is not financially beneficial. Similar, many other groups of people need to make arrangements for their own transportation, like casino members, college students, sports team members, senior centers, adult day cares etc. Everybody owns a car and its not difficult to transport a group of 15 people. However, this is not efficient because ferrying 15 people will need 4 cars, considering each has a seating capacity of 4 people. Each needs to have its own dedicated driver, regular maintenance, parking, insurance coverage. Its obviously not the best option. Moreover, group members dont get the opportunity to bond together while en route to their common destination. The cars add more vehicles on the road and are not eco friendly because they all release more carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxides than a single vehicle. There are chances that they all may not reach their destination on time, some may get stuck in traffic while others may come across an accident, need refueling, emergency repairs, get pulled over by cops for breaking traffic rules etc and thus delay the function or programme by several minutes or even hours. Most adults are already preoccupied by their families or jobs and have a limited time to dedicate for their respective groups. If this limited time is spent on non-productive tasks like arranging transportation and delays then the organizers seriously need to consider having their own vehicles like a bus for more organized and efficient travelling.

By now, we have realized the importance of owning a bus for frequent group meetings. There is general perception that buses are big and expensive but the fact is, they are really cheap when purchased preowned. They value can drop by more than half with one previous owner and the vehicle still has enough life to operate for more than 5 years or 100,000 miles. On average a used minibus for sale can cost anywhere from $15,000 to $35,000 depending on a lot of factors like tire conditions, type of licensing, engine, transmission, seating capacity, luggage compartments, luxury and safety features etc. Buying a bus for group transportation has never been so easy. Most dealerships will even get you financed in-house or by 3rd parties on their reduced price tags, thus making bus ownership a reality even for startups and those with limited budgets.

If you will be purchasing a used bus for sale for the first time, then its better to get started with the smallest of them. This will give you the knowledge and experience of buying, owning, managing, maintaining and operating the vehicle. Then six months or one year down the road, this vehicle can be resold to the dealership at a reasonable price and used medium sized bus can be purchased to transport medium sized groups of 16 to 29 passengers. Once you feel confident enough with buses that's the time to purchase a full sized coach bus for your own transportation company.

Bus dealerships are life time partners of bus owners. When owning them, there will be times when an expert will be required for second opinion, better judgement or sincere advise. Dealers are the people who have been working full time with buses for several decades, they will be glad to help their customers throughout the ownership process. They assist their customers before as well as after the ownership process. For example, they help customers get financed and insured before they own the vehicle and buy it back when no longer needed. There are people who spend several months and years trying to find the perfect buyer for their buses and in the mean while the vehicle will be gathering dust, rust etc sitting idle inside  a garage or by the side on a road. But in the case of a dealership, just pickup the phone and ask them to tow the vehicle away and they will do it in less than a week at a reasonable price provided it was well maintained on regular schedules.

Bottom-line: The best company is your own company. Simply buy a small bus for sale and get into the transportation business today.

This is the perfect opportunity to start a new company ferrying people from location to destination and get paid within a few minutes.
