Charter Bus Prices in Charlotte
How much does a charter bus cost in Charlotte? Daily rates for a full-size charter bus hover around $1,200 to $3,000 per day, with hourly costs averaging between $150 and $350. Since Charlotte traffic on I-77 and I-485 can impact your route, we recommend padding your estimate to account for extra hours on game days or during heavy construction season. Mileage rates in North Carolina typically fall between $3.50 and $5.50 per mile, so a 200-mile round trip to Raleigh will likely cost between $700 and $1,100.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to rent a bus in Charlotte, North Carolina?
+The cost of a charter bus rental in Charlotte depends on your mileage, the size of the vehicle, and the time of year. Local trips around Uptown or South End typically cost $1,350 to $3,800 per day depending on which vehicle you choose. If your group is traveling to another city, like a Durham charter bus or Raleigh charter bus, your trip will likely be priced by the hour or by the day instead of by the mile. Long-distance trips, such as renting a charter bus in Wilmington, will usually be priced by the mile, with rates ranging from $4.50 to $8.75 per mile.
Keep in mind that these prices do not include parking passes or event permits, which can add $100-$300+ to your total cost. For example, a daily pass for your bus at the Charlotte Transportation Center costs $20, but a CATS-issued monthly pass is $84.00. You can call our team anytime at 828-701-0125 to get a free quote for your trip.

You'll also find convenient overhead and undercarriage storage for luggage, plus onboard restrooms on select full-size coaches-perfect for long trips to the UNC Charlotte campus or out-of-town tournaments.

How far in advance should I book my Charlotte, North Carolina bus rental?
+Charlotte is a major event hub, which means demand for group transportation can be high, especially during the fall when the Carolina Panthers season starts and Bank of America Stadium hosts major concerts. We recommend booking your charter bus at least three to six months in advance to ensure you get exactly what you need. This is especially important if your trip falls during a major city event like the Novant Health Thanksgiving Eve Parade-one of the largest holiday parades in the Southeast-or the Coca-Cola 600. The earlier you book, the better your chances are of securing the perfect vehicle before prices surge due to high demand. While we can accommodate last-minute requests, planning ahead gives you peace of mind and helps you lock in the best rates for your group.
