Newport News Charter Bus Rentals from Charter Bus Company Newport News

Charter bus rentals in Newport News typically cost between $1,100 and $3,500 per day, depending on the size of the vehicle, the duration of the trip, and the time of year. Local trips are often billed by the hour (with a 4- or 5-hour minimum), while longer out-of-town trips may be charged by the mile or day. Smaller vehicles like minibuses start around $150–$250 per hour, while full-size motorcoaches can run $200–$375 per hour or more.

Charter bus pricing is based on several factors: the type and size of the bus, the total distance traveled, the duration of the trip, and the time of year. Additional factors include fuel costs, driver labor, and whether the trip requires an overnight stay. Peak months (spring and fall) are more expensive due to higher demand from schools and sports teams. Extras like tolls, parking, and special amenities may also affect the final price.

Yes, we require a non-refundable deposit to secure your reservation. The deposit amount is typically 30% of the total charter cost, but this can vary depending on the size of the vehicle and the specifics of your trip. Your reservation is not considered confirmed until the deposit has been received. The balance is due prior to departure.

The final payment for your charter bus rental is due before the trip begins. We typically require full payment 14 to 30 days prior to the departure date. If you book less than 30 days in advance, full payment may be required at the time of booking. We accept major credit cards, ACH transfers, and business checks.

Yes, driver gratuity is included in your quote by default. However, if you feel your driver provided exceptional service, it’s customary to offer an additional tip (typically 10–20% of the base fare). This can be given directly to the driver at the end of the trip in cash.

We offer a wide range of buses in Newport News, including 18 to 35-passenger minibuses, 40 to 56-passenger full-size motorcoaches, party buses, and sprinter vans. Larger vehicles are ideal for big groups or long-distance travel, while minibuses work well for smaller groups or short shuttles. Available models include Van Hool, Prevost, MCI, Setra, and Grech—perfect for any size group traveling anywhere in Hampton Roads or beyond.

Our charter buses can come equipped with reclining seats, climate control, onboard WiFi, power outlets or USB ports, flat-screen monitors, DVD players, PA systems, luggage bays, and overhead parcel racks. Full-size coaches usually have a clean, modern restroom. Premium options include leather upholstery, individual reading lights, tray tables, and optional custom branding. Just let your reservation specialist know what you need!

It’s best to book your charter bus 6–9 months in advance, especially if your trip is during peak season (spring and fall) or involves a large event. This ensures the best availability and pricing. Last-minute bookings are possible, but selection may be limited and rates higher.

Yes, for multi-day trips that require an overnight stay, you are responsible for providing the driver’s hotel accommodations. The hotel should be a national brand (e.g., Holiday Inn, Hampton Inn) and must offer secure parking for the bus. If you prefer, we can arrange the driver’s lodging and add the cost to your invoice.

No, your quote does not include tolls, parking fees, or entrance fees to specific venues. These additional costs are the responsibility of the customer and must be paid separately. Any tolls incurred during the trip will be added to your final invoice. Be sure to budget for parking at hotels, event venues, or attractions.

In Newport News, charter bus parking is available at larger venues like the Ferguson Center for the Arts, Newport News Shipbuilding lots (by arrangement), and Christopher Newport University’s designated bus areas. For downtown or Mariners’ Museum visits, use overflow or event lots—call ahead to confirm space. Patrick Henry Mall allows bus parking in outer sections. Always check with your destination in advance, as city streets may have restrictions and some locations require pre-arranged permits or reservations.

Newport News is served by Hampton Roads Transit (HRT) local buses and the Amtrak station, but public routes are fixed and can’t accommodate large groups on custom schedules. A private charter bus offers door-to-door service anywhere you need to go—perfect for school trips, corporate events, or airport transfers—on your timetable. Everyone arrives together, you set the itinerary, and baggage or equipment is easily handled. It’s faster, simpler, and far more comfortable than splitting up across multiple public lines.

We provide private airport transfers to and from any terminal in the region, including Newport News/Williamsburg International Airport (PHF), Norfolk International Airport (ORF), Richmond International Airport (RIC), and even smaller fields like Hampton Roads Executive (PVG) or Williamsburg-Jamestown (JGG). Need a pickup at Dulles (IAD) or Reagan National (DCA)? We’ll do that, too. Your schedule is fully custom—no waiting for shuttles or missing connections.

Whether you’re moving 15 people or 1,500, we’ll customize the fleet and schedule to fit your exact requirements.

We also handle multi-day trips, out-of-town charters, and emergency evacuations.
