PRICE POINTS: Reston Limousine had these eye-opening charter bus trip rates published in one of its local papers, the Fairfax Times:
These are per person, round trip fares. Reston is based in Sterling, Va., not far at all from the nation's capital. These trips take a few hours on the road, and provide customers with a cost/time effective, comfortable, and fun way to tour popular local sites. It's good to see Reston Limousine get the word out on fares, which helps sell the value and gives more details on the ride experience. Some operators in chauffeured transportation and charter and tour do not offer fare information on their websites or other channels. They choose not to do it, believing it's much better to sell the experience and not let customers focus solely on the price point. On the other side of the coin, many operators believe you need to get this issue out of the way so that you can sell an attractive transportation package that customers buy into. They'll want to have their questions answered up front, and fares need to be addressed and not become a sticky point.
