Norfolk Charter Bus Rentals

Charter bus rental prices in Norfolk typically range from $1,200 to $3,500 per day, but can be higher or lower depending on vehicle size, trip duration, mileage, and time of year. Local trips (e.g., a wedding shuttle between downtown Norfolk and the Ocean View area) might cost $150–$350 per hour, while multi-day or long-distance charters (such as a school trip to Washington, DC) are billed by the day or by mileage.

We calculate your Norfolk bus rental price based on the type of bus, the length and distance of your trip, the time of year, and any special requests or add-ons. Local trips are usually billed by the hour with a minimum number of hours (typically 4-5), while longer or out-of-town trips may be billed by the day or by mileage. Additional factors like tolls, parking, and driver lodging can also affect the final price.

Yes, we require a non-refundable deposit to secure your booking. The deposit amount is typically 30% of the total trip cost and must be paid when you sign the contract. The remaining balance is due before your departure date. We accept major credit cards, ACH transfers, and other forms of electronic payment for your convenience.

The final payment for your Norfolk charter bus rental is due before the trip begins. Typically, the balance must be paid in full 14 to 30 days prior to your departure date. If you book less than a month in advance, full payment may be required immediately. We accept most major credit cards and ACH transfers. Your reservation isn’t considered fully confirmed until the final payment is received.

Yes, driver gratuity is included in your quote by default. However, if you feel your driver provided exceptional service, you’re welcome to offer an additional cash tip at the end of the trip. A standard gratuity is 10–20% of the total rental cost. Extra tips can be given directly to the driver.

Our Norfolk charter buses can come with a wide range of amenities, including reclining seats, climate control, onboard WiFi, power outlets or USB ports at each seat, flat-screen TVs with DVD players, Bluetooth audio systems, PA/microphone setups, and luggage storage either under the bus or in overhead racks. Larger motorcoaches often feature forward-facing high-back seats, multiple video monitors, and optional restroom facilities. Minibuses typically offer comfortable cushioned seating, strong air conditioning, and basic entertainment options. We also have ADA-accessible vehicles with wheelchair lifts.

It’s best to book your Norfolk charter bus 6 to 9 months in advance, especially if you need a large coach or are traveling during peak seasons (spring and fall). This gives you the best selection of vehicles and ensures availability. Last-minute bookings are possible, but choices may be limited and rates can be higher. For major events—like Virginia Beach summer festivals, ODU homecoming, or wedding season—book as early as possible.

Yes, if your trip requires an overnight stay, you will need to provide accommodation for the driver. The driver must have a private hotel room, ideally at the same hotel as your group or nearby. For multi-day trips, you are responsible for covering the cost of the driver’s lodging. Please coordinate with our team to ensure the driver’s accommodations meet all necessary requirements.

No, your quote does not include tolls, parking fees, or entrance fees to certain venues. These additional costs are your responsibility and must be paid separately. Any tolls incurred during the trip will be added to your final bill. Parking fees at hotels, event venues, or attractions are also not included in the base rental price.

In Norfolk, you can park a charter bus at Harbor Park lots, Scope Arena/Chrysler Hall lots, MacArthur Center garage (surface lot only), ODU campus lots (with permit), and Norfolk International Airport’s oversized vehicle lot. For downtown or waterfront events, use city-designated surface lots along St. Paul’s Boulevard or Waterside Drive. Always confirm in advance, as some locations require pre-arranged permits or reservations for oversized vehicles.

Norfolk’s public transit is run by Hampton Roads Transit (HRT), which operates local buses, The Tide light rail, and ferries across the Elizabeth River. While these options are great for individuals, they aren’t ideal for large groups because routes and schedules are fixed, transfers can be inconvenient, and everyone may not stay together. A private charter bus keeps your group on a custom schedule, provides door-to-door service anywhere in the region, and offers comfortable amenities like A/C, reclining seats, and onboard WiFi. It’s the easiest way to move a crowd comfortably and efficiently.

We provide charter bus service to and from all major airports in the Norfolk area, including Norfolk International Airport (ORF), Newport News/Williamsburg International Airport (PHF), and Chesapeake Regional Airport (CPK).
