Shuttle Bus Rentals in Charlotte, North Carolina

The average cost to rent a shuttle bus in Charlotte typically ranges from $197–$519 per hour or $1,600–$3,800 per day depending on the size of the vehicle, length of trip, and time of year. You’ll pay toward the higher end of that range during busy seasons—like spring graduations, fall football games, or major events like the CIAA Tournament and President’s Cup—while winter and summer rates are generally lower unless you’re traveling over a holiday weekend. Final pricing depends on your exact itinerary, how many days you need the vehicle, and any special requests for amenities or branding. Multi-day and out-of-town trips are usually billed by the day or as a flat package rate. Contact Charlotte Shuttle Bus Rentals for an exact quote based on your trip details.

Several variables influence the final price of your shuttle bus rental in Charlotte, including the size of the vehicle, the total distance traveled, the duration of the trip, and the time of year. Larger buses generally cost more than smaller ones, and longer trips—either in mileage or days—will increase your overall rate. Special events like the CIAA Basketball Tournament, President’s Cup, or major concerts at Bank of America Stadium can drive up demand and pricing. Additional expenses may include tolls, parking fees, hotel rooms for drivers on multi-day trips, and optional gratuity.
