Several key factors impact the final cost of your charter bus rental in Grand Forks:

• Time of Year: Peak demand periods like UND move-in weekend, Homecoming, Potato Bowl USA week, and major events at the Alerus Center or Ralph Engelstad Arena can increase prices due to limited vehicle availability.
• Trip Duration & Distance: Longer trips covering more miles (e.g., Grand Forks to Fargo, Bismarck, or Minneapolis) will naturally cost more than short local transfers.
• Number of Passengers: Larger groups requiring bigger vehicles (56-passenger full-size buses) will pay more than smaller groups using minibuses or sprinter vans.
• Type of Bus Selected: Full-size charter buses are more expensive than minibuses, school bus-style vehicles, or sprinter vans.
• Itinerary Details: Multi-day itineraries with multiple stops (e.g., athletic tournaments, band trips, corporate retreats) may require additional driver shifts and lodging expenses.
