Quick Answer: Follow These Tips For Great Sleep!

If you want the best snooze possible on your charter bus rental, it all starts with reserving the right bus for your group. Whether you’re planning a quick shuttle circuit around Salt Lake City or a multi-day trip to Zion National Park, we have access to a wide variety of motorcoaches to suit your headcount and amenity needs. With Charter Bus Rental Sandy, you can request a full-size charter bus with features like plush, reclining seats, ample legroom, individual climate controls, and an onboard restroom so everyone stays comfortable on the road.

Or, if you’re coordinating a quick transfer across town, a compact minibus shuttle will keep everyone together and relaxed between stops. Either way, our reservation team will work with you to find the perfect ride for your next trip.

Wear Comfortable Clothes

It might be tempting to dress up for the occasion—especially if you’re embarking on a business trip or a school field trip where you’ll need to look presentable. But if you’re going to be on the road for long stretches of time, your body will thank you for wearing loose, soft clothes that won’t dig into your skin or wrinkle easily. Dress in layers, and bring a light jacket just in case. Your charter bus rental will likely have air conditioning, but it’s better to have multiple options if you tend to get cold easily.

Bring the Right Gear

We’ve all got our preferences when it comes to sleeping comfortably, so make sure you pack your must-have items in your carry-on bag before you board your bus. If you can’t sleep without a pillow, bring one along to prop against the window. If you need total darkness, don’t forget your eye mask. Need white noise to fall asleep? Pack your headphones and queue up a playlist or podcast on your phone. The more prepared you are, the easier it’ll be to drift off while on the road.

Other essentials to consider packing include a small toiletry bag with items like a comb, toothbrush, wet wipes, and deodorant. These small grooming and hygiene items can go a long way in terms of your comfort, especially if you’re traveling overnight or for multiple days at a time.

Stay Hydrated and Eat Snacks

No one can stay comfortable on an empty stomach. Bring a water bottle and pack non-perishable snacks to keep you fueled throughout your journey. Light, easy-to-eat snacks like granola bars, nuts, and fruit are perfect for bus rides, and be sure to avoid caffeinated beverages if you’re trying to sleep. If you’re worried that drinking water will make you need to use the restroom frequently, request a charter bus rental with an onboard restroom to minimize pit stops.

Choose Your Seat Wisely

If you have the option to choose where you sit on your bus rental, picking a spot in the middle of the cabin is the best way to sleep on a bus. Seats near the entry doors are high-traffic areas, and you’re more likely to feel bumps in the road if you sit toward the back.

Also, like in an airplane cabin, folks who sit near the window rather than the aisle are more likely to catch some shut-eye and are less likely to have to get up to let their seatmate out. Before your bus departs, have a chat with the passenger sitting next to you about what would make you both the most comfortable.

Stretch It Out

No matter how comfortable a plush, reclining seat on a charter bus can be, sitting in the same position for multiple hours at a time can take a toll on your body. Be sure to stand up, stretch, and get your blood circulating when your charter bus pulls into a pit stop. That way, you’re less likely to develop sciatic pain (aka lower back and tailbone pain) throughout your group outing and be able to fall asleep on your bus easily.
