Budget estimate

$10,000 – $30,000

Based on typical university athletic charter‑bus contracts, a single semester may involve 10‑15 trips at $1,000‑$2,500 per trip depending on distance, bus size, and amenities. This yields an estimated contract value between $10,000 and $30,000. Additional costs for driver labor, fuel, and insurance are generally bundled into the per‑trip rate, so the estimate reflects the total payable amount to the vendor.
