If a social outing is going to be used to replace your annual corporate picnic, renting a charter bus will support your decision to visit a distant destination. Choose a venue and a bus type and furnish your employees with the proposed itinerary.

The Destination And Charter Fees

Your corporate outing can be one that involves taking in a show, dining, and enjoying the scenery or it can combine two or more activities that are designed with a team building strategy in mind. Research popular venues that are geared toward the size of your group, the median age of your workers, and the price range that you would like to stay within.

The cost of a charter bus will separate from the venue cost. Comparing bus sizes and costs will allow you to come up with some trip suggestions that are equal in price. Begin with the average rate that a charter bus company charges and contemplate incurring additional charges for any amenities that will be added to your plans.

Some bus companies furnish Wi-Fi, DVD players, and spacious cargo areas and these extras may appeal to you and your employees if you decide upon a destination that will require several hours of driving or that will involve an overnight stay.

The Planning Process

Narrow down the trip options and try to come up with three or four options that are relatively similar in price. Type up a list that highlights each trip. Include information about the charter bus company that you propose using, any features that will be included with the transportation, the cost that your employees will incur, and the date and time for each outing option.

Give one copy of the list to each employee. Tell your employees that they should review the trips and decide which one is most appealing. Prior to reserving a charter bus and purchasing tickets for an activity, request that your workforce vote on the outing ideas.

Hold a meeting within your business and use this occasion to go over the results of the voting and to answer any questions that your employees have. A meeting time and place should be supplied, which will allow you to account for everyone.

If the charter bus company is located locally, agree to meet there. Your employees can leave their vehicles in the bus lot for the duration of the trip. If anyone is handicapped and is going to require seating that accommodates them, reserve a bus that comes equipped with handicap features. Reach out to a charter bus company near you to start planning.
