3 Tips on Renting a Bus for Holiday with Big Family

Going on vacations, especially with extended family, is always exciting but often takes some time to prepare. Besides setting up the itinerary and accommodation, among other things that may need extra preparation are the transportation arrangements.

Instead of using a private car that may oppose the risk of getting separated from a group, you can always opt to rent a bus. Using a bus rental service, you can start activities with your extended family before the journey begins. That makes your vacation more comfortable and convenient. Take notes on these few things to make the best of bus trips.

Three tips before renting a bus

1. Rent the bus from a trusted and professional provider

To support a safe and comfortable journey, make sure you rent a bus only from a trusted service provider like TRAC. Don't hesitate to ask directly about the condition of the fleet you will choose and ride. TRAC regularly checks its fleet, so only the vehicles in tip-top shape will be able to serve passengers.

Having been around for decades as a car and bus rental provider, TRAC always pays attention to the professionalism of the drivers and crews. TRAC drivers are equipped with defensive driving skills to make your trip more comfortable and safe.

At the end of this pandemic, you must ensure that the bus rental service provider you choose always prioritizes health protocols. In response to the pandemic, TRAC implements a SMART Protocol, which is always committed to protecting passengers during the trip. Among the measures in the SMART Protocol include providing hand sanitizers and barriers between passengers and drivers in each fleet; cleaning the fleet before and after duty; requiring drivers to wear masks and gloves and take regular health check-ups.

2. Decide on the bus capacity according to the number of pax

Before renting a bus, you should estimate and calculate the number of pax. This will significantly affect the bus type and capacity. The bus capacity is generally divided into three groups; small, medium, and big bus.

If you are traveling with a family or a group of fewer than 15 people, you should opt for a small bus. This type of bus is best for short to medium trips with not too much luggage. This option is better than traveling separately with several cars.

To accommodate more passengers, please opt for the medium bus, which can carry 23 to 35 passengers. As for large groups, you can choose to use a big bus with up to 59 seats. However, some big buses are equipped with toilet facilities at the expense of passenger capacity. Big buses with toilets usually have a capacity of 40-45 passengers.

If comfort is your priority, TRAC recommends you opt for the luxury bus. As far as we’re concerned, not many bus rental service provides this type of bus. With a capacity of only 11-15 passengers, this large bus has various facilities, like a pantry, toilet, karaoke machine, in-flight style entertainment, as well as super comfortable seats, even for long trips.

3. Pay attention to the road condition and route to the destination

In addition to the number of passengers, routes and road conditions should be considered when choosing the type of bus. If your destination requires you to go through a small and winding road, you should refrain from using a larger bus. We recommend you to do a survey beforehand or contact the customer relations of the bus rental service provider to make sure.

Besides the three things above, there are other factors that you need to consider when choosing TRAC as your bus rental service provider; for example:

• TRAC allows you to order easily.
• You can choose from a wide range of services available in various cities.
