Columbus has several peak periods that fill up the bus rental calendar fast. Ohio State home football Saturdays, typically September through November, are the single busiest stretch of the year, with demand spiking weeks before each game. Prom season, late April through May, is the next crunch, with Franklin County schools all competing for the same party bus inventory on the same weekends.
The Columbus Marathon (typically held in October), ComFest in June, and Columbus Pride in June all create significant demand spikes. Book as early as possible during these windows, waiting until the last minute almost always means higher rates, fewer options, or both.

The limit means a group renting a larger coach needs a different parking arrangement.

City parking near COSI costs $30 per bus or oversized van that does not fit in a single parking space, which isn't included in your free price quote.

The earlier, the better, and that's not just a sales pitch. For most Columbus trips outside of peak periods, booking two to four weeks in advance gives you solid vehicle selection and competitive pricing.
