Several factors influence the cost of renting a charter bus in Grand Rapids: trip distance and duration (local vs. long-distance), number of days required, size and type of vehicle (minibus vs. full-size coach), time of year (peak demand during spring/summer), and availability. Local events like ArtPrize, Tulip Time Festival, or major concerts and sporting events can also impact pricing due to increased demand and traffic congestion.
