Transporting a group of athletes from one location to another requires a large vehicle that is suitable to the needs of the entire team. Coaches and team managers often feel overwhelmed with the various bus rental options at their disposal. When selecting a vehicle to carry your sports team, there are a few important things to keep in mind that will ensure you have an apt mode of transportation.
At Swan Limousines & Charters, we specialize in premium transportation. Below we have listed a few chartered van and bus rental options in San Diego, along with our best tips on what to ask yourself before renting a vehicle for your team.
In most cases, sports teams travel via bus to participate in away games or competitions. These events can be stressful, and the vehicle that you choose to transport your team can set the tone for the entire journey. One of the most popular vehicle options for this type of trip is a school bus. Depending on the size of your team, a short or long school bus can be hired from bus rental companies in San Diego. It should be noted however, that if you are carrying a large amount of sporting equipment, school buses often fail to offer ample storage space.
Another popular rental option for sports teams is a coach bus. These vehicles are more practical for teams traveling with a large amount of equipment or luggage. Coach buses also tend to be the more comfortable option for team members.
If you are looking for a more luxurious, secure vehicle to transport your team, we offer a variety of premium options at Swan Limousines & Charters. Our corporate vans and premium SUVs each hold up to seven passengers. This is by far the best choice for smaller groups, or for larger teams that are comfortable splitting up into several vehicles.
One of the first questions to ask yourself before hiring a rental vehicle for your sports team is how long the drive will be. If you are traveling to an away game that is located hours away by car, you will need to find a spacious, agreeable option where team members can stretch out and rest prior to their arrival. If you are looking for a bus rental for a short journey to your neighboring city, something less comfortable like a coach or school bus may be adequate.
Another factor to consider when selecting a vehicle is your team budget. Of the three aforementioned vehicle types, school buses tend to be the least expensive. For longer journeys, a coach bus is the second most affordable option. For sports teams that have greater access to funding, hiring one or more premium charters is well worth the investment. These luxurious vehicles offer comfort, extra legroom, and top-grade service.
Our final piece of advice when choosing a private charter or bus rental in San Diego is to consider the type of event that you are traveling to. If your team is heading to another city or state for a multi-day trip, you will need to provide plenty of space to store luggage and for the team to interact with each other during the journey. Similarly, if you are traveling to a high-stakes game or competition, it may be worth the investment to rent a premium charter that will ensure team members have a chance to calm their nerves and discuss strategy with their teammates.
