How should a Fort Lauderdale group budget the launch viewing day?
About 7 hours 35 minutes of the day is driving for a Fort Lauderdale group, before any traffic. Assuming about 4 hours on site for early arrival, the launch window and the exit, the service window comes to roughly 12 hours, which is why most groups book a full-day block rather than hourly transfers. BusBrother's published Florida rate guide lists full-day rates of $800-$1,200 for a 15-passenger minibus and $1,200-$2,500 for a 56-passenger motorcoach; the carrier's written quote sets the actual price. Launch dates and times can slip at short notice, so ask the carrier how a scrub or delay is handled before you confirm.
