Let’s be honest for a minute: Group trips can be a lot of fun, but if you’re in charge of planning one, it’s really just more stressful than anything else. But there’s a reason why senior citizens and students make up more than 50% of all charter bus trips every year: because these two demographics often do the most long-distance group trips, and because charter bus services are simply the easiest and most convenient option when it comes to traveling in a group.

Here are just a few specific reasons why charter bus transportation is the best way to go:

• When you get a charter bus rental, you never have to worry about driving or navigating busy cities. Each bus comes with professional, trained drivers, and bus companies work hard to plan out the fastest (or perhaps the most scenic) route possible.
  

• And when it comes to sightseeing, charter bus trips are definitely the most convenient. You never have to worry about limiting your time on certain activities because of a public transportation schedule; the bus can drop you off and pick you up at any time, and there’s never any rush.
  

• Bus companies, like other major companies in the tourism industry, tend to have great group rates and a bunch of bus options for the size of your group. You never get slammed with unexpected fees after scheduling your trip, and with a dependable charter bus service, you won’t have to worry about paying for tons of extra seats that aren’t being used.

And if you still aren’t convinced that charter bus transportation is perfect for a group trip… three words: On. Board. Bathrooms. No explanation is even needed with that one.
