Bus rental prices in Raleigh start at $145–$550 per hour for a full-size charter bus, $150–$450 per hour for a minibus, $180–$520 per hour for a party bus, and $160–$450 per hour for a sprinter van. Daily rates range from $1,520 to $5,000+ depending on the vehicle size and features. We use simple hourly, daily, or mileage-based pricing—just tell us your itinerary and we’ll give you an instant quote. All quotes include the bus and standard amenities, but do not include tolls, parking fees, or optional add-ons like extra mileage or special equipment. For the most accurate price, contact us with your exact trip details, including pickup location, destination, group size, and travel dates.

The main factors are the size and type of bus, the length of your trip, and the time of year, but other details matter too. Larger vehicles like 56-passenger coaches cost more than smaller minibuses, and premium brands like Prevost or Van Hool may be priced higher than standard models. Spring and fall are peak seasons in Raleigh due to college graduations, sports events, and festivals, so rates are usually higher from April to June and September to November. Major events like Dreamville Festival, NC State football games, or concerts at Coastal Credit Union Music Park can also impact availability and pricing. Additional factors include the number of miles traveled, whether you need the bus to stay with your group all day or just provide one-way transportation, and any special requests like multiple pickups, late-night service, or custom branding. To get the best rate, book early and provide as much information as possible about your itinerary.

Raleigh has designated areas for charter bus loading and unloading near major attractions, but parking regulations vary by location. In downtown, buses can use the curbside zones on Wilmington Street near Fayetteville Street, or drop passengers at Moore Square before parking offsite. At PNC Arena and Carter-Finley Stadium, there are dedicated bus lots with easy access to entrances. For events at Red Hat Amphitheater or Duke Energy Center, check with the venue for specific instructions—some require advance permits or staging in nearby lots. Museums like the North Carolina Museum of Art and Museum of Natural Sciences have bus-friendly entrances for group visits. If your itinerary includes multiple stops, our team can help plan the best routes and advise on parking options based on current city guidelines.

Every quote includes the bus, standard amenities, and the mileage/hours specified in your itinerary. Optional extras like tolls, parking fees, or additional mileage beyond the original contract are not included and should be paid directly by the group. If you have questions about what’s covered, just ask—we’re happy to explain the details.
