Coach Bus Prices: How Much Does a High Point Coach Bus Rental Cost?

In general, you can expect to pay between $170 and $500+ per hour for a coach bus rental in High Point, with daily rates ranging from $1,800 to $3,800+. For example, a 56-passenger charter bus typically costs $200-$350 per hour or $2,400-$3,800 per day, while a 25-passenger minibus rents for $170-$250 per hour or $1,800-$2,400 per day. If you need a smaller vehicle, such as a sprinter van, rates start at $150 per hour or $1,600 per day. These prices are averages and can fluctuate based on demand, especially during peak seasons like spring (March-May) when schools are booking field trips to the Greensboro Science Center or summer (June-August) when families are heading to Myrtle Beach or Charlotte for vacation.

The main factors that affect the cost of your coach bus rental are the size of the vehicle, the length of your trip, the distance traveled, and the time of year. Larger buses with more amenities (such as WiFi, power outlets, restrooms, and reclining seats) will cost more than smaller, more basic models. For example, a 56-passenger motorcoach is ideal for transporting a large group of wedding guests from High Point to a venue in Winston-Salem or Charlotte, but it will be more expensive than a 28-passenger minibus used for a corporate shuttle between downtown High Point and the Palladium Shopping Center.

The duration of your rental also plays a big role in pricing. Most companies charge by the hour for local trips (with a 4- or 5-hour minimum), by the day for multi-day events, or by the mile for long-distance travel. For instance, if you’re organizing a church retreat to the Blue Ridge Mountains or a band trip to Raleigh, you’ll likely be quoted a daily or mileage rate. Be sure to provide your complete itinerary—including pickup and drop-off locations, schedule, and any planned stops—so we can give you the most accurate quote possible.

Seasonality is another important consideration. Demand for charter buses in High Point peaks during the spring and early summer, when schools are out and many organizations are planning trips to Carowinds, Wet ‘n Wild Emerald Pointe, or the North Carolina Zoo in Asheboro. During these months, prices may be higher and availability more limited, so it’s wise to book several months in advance. Conversely, you may find lower rates in the winter (excluding holidays) when fewer groups are traveling.

Additional expenses to keep in mind include tolls, parking fees, and driver accommodations. If your itinerary requires overnight travel, you’ll need to budget for a hotel room for your driver (ADA compliance requires drivers to have 8 hours of rest for every 10 hours behind the wheel). Gratuity is not mandatory but is customary; a tip of 10-20% is standard and greatly appreciated by our hardworking drivers.

Finally, last-minute bookings can sometimes be accommodated, but they may come at a premium due to limited availability. To secure the best rates and ensure you get the exact vehicle you want, we recommend reserving your bus at least 3-6 months before your event date. This is especially true for major events like High Point Market, furniture industry conventions, or college graduations at High Point University or UNC Greensboro.
