+

As a general rule of thumb, it's best to book your bus rental at least 3 to 6 months in advance. This gives you the best chance to lock in affordable rates and secure exactly what you need before availability tightens up. Columbus sees a spike in travel demand during the spring due to graduation season and wedding events, as well as the fall when Ohio State football brings massive crowds to town. If your trip falls during one of these peak times-or if you're planning a large group event like a corporate convention at the Greater Columbus Convention Center or a family reunion at Franklin Park Conservatory-the earlier you book, the better. Our team is available 24/7/365 at 513-596-6230 to help you coordinate logistics and make sure your group travels comfortably through the 614.
