Several factors influence the cost of renting a bus in Reading: the size and type of vehicle, the length of your trip, how many miles you travel, and the time of year. Larger buses with more amenities cost more than smaller, basic models. Multi-day trips with lots of mileage will be more expensive than short local charters. Peak season (April-June for proms/weddings, September-November for sports) has higher demand and higher prices. Last-minute bookings are usually more expensive than reservations made 3-6 months in advance. Optional add-ons like custom wraps, catering, or extra cleaning may increase your total cost.

Yes, we offer both one-way and out-of-state rentals to anywhere in Pennsylvania or the East Coast. Common routes include Reading to New York City, Atlantic City, Baltimore, Washington DC, Pittsburgh, and State College. One-way pricing is based on the total mileage and whether the bus needs to return empty (“deadhead”) after drop-off. For long-distance charters, we recommend booking a full-size coach with a restroom, reclining seats, and entertainment systems to keep everyone comfortable during the journey. If you have a complex itinerary with multiple stops or overnight stays, our team will help you plan the most efficient route and schedule for your trip.

We recommend booking your bus as early as possible—ideally 3 to 6 months before your event date—to get the best selection and lowest rates. Spring and fall are the busiest seasons for weddings, proms, and sports tournaments, so buses sell out quickly during those months. If you’re traveling during a major holiday (like Thanksgiving or Memorial Day) or planning a large-scale event (like a festival or parade), it’s smart to reserve your transportation even earlier. Last-minute rentals are available if we have open inventory, but they may be more expensive and limited in choice. The sooner you lock in your reservation, the better.

Downtown Reading has several designated areas for charter bus parking and passenger loading/unloading. Popular spots include the 600 block of Penn Street near Santander Arena, the parking lot at FirstEnergy Stadium, and curbside zones along 5th Street and Franklin Street. For school trips to the Reading Public Museum or GoggleWorks Center for the Arts, buses can drop off students at the main entrance and then park in a nearby lot until pickup time. If your itinerary includes multiple stops or requires long-term parking, our team can coordinate with local authorities to secure permits and recommend the best locations based on your schedule.
