You should book your charter bus at least four to six weeks before your trip, but the earlier, the better—especially if your event falls during a busy season. In Skokie and the greater Chicago area, demand for buses spikes around major events like the Chicago Marathon, Lollapalooza, Taste of Chicago, and big sports games involving the Bears, Cubs, White Sox, Bulls, or Blackhawks. Availability can get tight quickly when multiple events overlap, so locking in your reservation as soon as you have your dates will help you secure the vehicle you want at the best possible rate.
