5 Nonfinancial Benefits Of Using A Charter For Group Travel Planning

When considering chartering a bus for group travel, most planners think about the cost savings from pooling everyone's travel together. But a charter trip offers other, less tangible benefits that may even outweigh the savings from sharing the travel cost. Here are five of these key nonfinancial benefits. 

1. Travel Is More Efficient

Managing a big group using multiple forms of travel or different vehicles is an enormous challenge. You'll spend a lot of time coordinating plans and waiting for people to arrive. Some people will undoubtedly get lost. Others will become sidetracked or travel at their own pace. Being in the same bus keeps breaks on time and gets everyone to their destination with no fuss. 

2. You Choose the Venues

Another good way to keep everyone organized and on time is to group them in as few hotels as possible. If everyone is on their own, they may end up scattered across town in many hotels or other lodgings. On the other hand, a bus that delivers guests only to one or two designated hotels keeps everyone at hand and easy to manage for group outings. 

3. You Arrive for Outings Together

Booking activities as a group has many advantages, including ticket discounts and special tours. But you'll need to arrive as a group and proceed through the activity together. It's much easier to ensure this if you unload a bus full of travelers instead of sending everyone a text and hoping for the best. 

4. Passengers Can Relax

Not everyone likes to travel independently, making their own way to and around new areas. For hesitant travelers or those who would just prefer someone else to do the work, a chartered bus is an easy way to reduce stress. The decisions and arrangements have been decided in advance and they don't have to drive or navigate. 

5. You Only Make One Arrangement

Make your planning job easier by dealing with only one form of transportation. Charter buses provide plenty of amenities, including a professional driver to handle the navigation and determine time frames. You'll need to determine parking for one vehicle only, have one set of food and beverages arranged, and work with one travel vendor. 

Which of these planning aids could make your work easier and your travel smoother? No matter whether you want to corral your travelers, reduce wasted time, or provide a stress-free vacation for all, a charter bus could be a simple solution to many problems.
