A couple is getting married in Glendale, Arizona. Their guest list is 150 people and they plan on getting married on a Saturday. As they begin planning logistics, they realize there are some gaps in group transportation that can be tricky. Their reception is going to be at a different location than the ceremony venue, the bride and groom need reliable transportation for their bachelor and bachelorette parties, and the reception venue has limited parking options for all the cars. They decide to rent a 56-passenger charter bus in Glendale for their bachelor and bachelorette parties in order to have a designated driver and enjoy the night to their heart’s content. The charter buses are able to pick them up directly at their hotel for a night out on the town, and they each rent a bus for their parties from 8 PM to 2 AM. The quote for their Glendale charter bus rentals is $150 per hour, since they are in the same city, and they are quoted by the hour for a total of $900 per bus, or $1,800 for both of them. Because each wedding party has 25 members, the cost per passenger is only $72 each, which is less than most Uber rides with more flexibility. They also decide to rent two 56-passenger charter buses for the day of the wedding to provide shuttle service for some of the out-of-town guests to the ceremony, and from the ceremony to the reception to make up for the reception venue’s lack of parking. They rent the charter buses at a rate of $160 per hour from 12 PM to 5 PM to give guests plenty of time, totaling up to $1,920 per bus or $3,840 total. Their total for all three charter bus rentals added up to $5,640 for the weekend, and they tip their drivers 10% each for a job well done, adding about $564 to their overall cost.
