Winston-Salem Charter Bus Rentals

Charter bus rentals in Winston-Salem typically cost between $1,100 and $4,000 or more, depending on the size of the vehicle, length of the trip, and time of year. Local trips are often billed by the hour (with a five-hour minimum), while longer trips are charged by the day or by mileage. Large 56-passenger buses cost $155–$295 per hour, mid-size minibuses run $135–$265 per hour, and party buses range from $185–$375 per hour.

We calculate each bus rental quote based on factors like the pickup location, drop-off location, number of passengers, type of bus requested, length of the trip, and any special amenities or requests. Additional factors can include tolls, parking fees, and whether your trip falls during peak travel seasons. We aim to provide all-inclusive pricing upfront so you know exactly what to expect before you book.

Yes, we require a non-refundable deposit to secure your booking. The deposit amount varies but is typically a percentage of the total rental cost. This deposit ensures that your vehicle is reserved for your specified dates and times. The remaining balance must be paid in full before the start of your trip. Our team will provide specific payment details when you receive your quote.

The final payment for your Winston-Salem charter bus rental is due before the start of your trip. Typically, we require full payment 14 to 30 days prior to your departure date. If you book less than a month in advance, you may need to pay the entire amount upfront. Our team will provide you with a specific payment schedule when you make your reservation, so you’ll know exactly when each payment is due.

Yes, your quote will include a standard driver gratuity, typically around 10% of the total rental cost. However, if you feel your driver provided exceptional service, you’re welcome to offer an additional cash tip at the end of your trip. Many groups choose to increase the gratuity to 15-20% for outstanding service. Just hand the extra tip directly to your driver—it’s always appreciated!

We recommend booking a room at the same hotel as your group or at a nearby budget-friendly option.
