Plan Vacations on a Charter Bus
As the weather begins to warm up, many of us will start to think about summer vacations with our friends and families.
However, more and more people are inclined to stay home this summer due to rising gas costs.
I have already begun to see commercials sponsored by my own county encouraging people to "vacation" in the neighboring towns and support our local businesses.
However, no one wants to call a trip two towns away a vacation.
One solution to this problem is to use a charter bus service.
Over the past few years, the cost of airfare has seemed to skyrocket, no pun intended.
The average cost of a domestic airline ticket was $423 in the first three months of the year -up 6% from last year.
If you were looking to leave the country, good luck.
The average price was over $1,000.
Rising gas prices have forced airlines to tack on extra surcharges to pay for fuel.
Fuel surcharges have increased 25% since 2008, when the price of oil began to spike.
With such high prices, who honestly can afford the plane ticket? Not to mention you still have to pay for hotels and rental cars.
Both these industries have increased their prices too.
You're looking at thousands of dollars for a family vacation if you go by plane.
Of course you can drive yourself to vacation hotspots not too far off, but you can't stray too far from home.
The farther you go, the longer it will take and the more you will end up spending on gas prices.
Is your car even in good shape to make such a long journey? And driving can be a stressful situation for many.
The best way to combat these issues, without opting to stay home, is to choose a charter bus service.
Even though bus charter companies may be charging a bit more because of gas prices, they are still the cheapest option.
With a charter bus, you don't have the added stress of driving.
You can sit back and relax while someone takes you where you want to go.
Charter buses can go all over the country and they are much more comfortable than sitting on a crammed airplane.
Charter buses are more luxurious than many people realize.
You can bring all your electronics and many have access to Wi-fi so you can stay connected.
A bus trip can also be more relaxing than a plane for many people.
You won't feel "trapped" up in the sky.
You can take a bus up to the coast to enjoy beaches, or to major cities to explore art and culture.
Don't forgo your summer vacation this year just because you want to cry at the gas pump.
A charter bus service is a viable option that won't break your wallet.
