Travel The Country And Get Paid At The Same Time
Americans are hard workers. In truth, we are the economic engine for this country's economic system. A loss of workers can mean disastrous ends for the economy. Recent history has demonstrated this. And, the average worker receives only a couple of weeks for vacation time as a result of working hard all year. Now, imagine a business where you can hardly work, and feel like you are on vacation year round, rather than just two week. Think it is not possible? Well, think again, and consider life with a bus charter business.
Many senior groups, community service organizations and children's organizations and clubs are some of the best sources for a bus charter business. And, if you are mechanically inclined, or know someone who is, you can handle most of the regular bus service maintenance without using an expensive mechanic. This is an especially good idea for anyone who loves to travel and spend time with people, particularly new people. You will have an opportunity to meet many different people from all walks of life, and enjoy some of the country's most breath taking sites.
Count Up the Costs
Of course, like any small business, you want to give serious consideration to the costs of running a bus charter company. Having a desire to drive cross-country is not enough to be successful, and keep your passengers safe. Therefore, give serious consideration to purchasing a used charter bus, rather than a brand new one. The repair expenses for a used bus might overwhelm your budget, and eat away at profits. This can take the wind out of your sail quickly. If you have to finance the cost of the bus, you will need to figure in the monthly payments as a fixed expense until the bus is paid off. Therefore, you must consider how many trips and passengers you can conceivably service each month to cover all expenses. Additional monthly expenses will include insurance, licensing, home office overhead, and regular maintenance.
As you are figuring out the costs, you may want to consider offering one day trips, as well as long excursions. While you can earn good money with either, a mix of the two will net you greater profits, and make you available to more customers. And, because there are a number of bus charter services customers can choose, it is a good idea to focus on marketing your company based on service, not pricing. Price is important, and you do not want to low-ball yourself when compared to your competitors.
However, show how you are different in terms of service. For example, educate yourself about the typical vacation spots people travel to on a bus. Include the surrounding areas, giving your customers special service. This way they know that they are getting their money's worth. Not only will they use your company for their next trip, but they will also refer others to you.
