Several key factors influence the price of your Cary charter bus rental: the type and size of vehicle you choose (minibus vs. full-size coach), the total distance and duration of your trip, the number of days you'll need the bus, the time of year you're traveling (peak demand seasons can increase rates), and any special amenities or custom requests. Additional expenses like tolls, parking fees, and hotel accommodations for the driver (if required) are typically not included in the base rental price and will affect your overall cost.

Your quote includes the base rental cost of the vehicle, driver pay, fuel, and standard amenities like reclining seats, climate control, and onboard restrooms (for full-size coaches). It does not include tolls, parking fees, or driver lodging expenses, which are billed separately or paid directly by you during the trip. Gratuity for the driver is optional but recommended (typically 10–20%).
You should book your bus as soon as you know your travel dates—ideally 4–6 months in advance—to ensure availability and lock in the best rates. Spring and fall are peak seasons due to school trips, weddings, and sporting events, so vehicles sell out quickly. Last-minute bookings are possible if we have inventory, but selection may be limited and prices higher.
We offer 18-, 20-, and 25-passenger minibuses as well as 56-passenger full-size charter buses.

All vehicles come with forward-facing seats and optional upgrades depending on the model.
Standard amenities include cushioned seats, air conditioning, overhead storage, and either vinyl or cloth upholstery. Most models also feature power outlets, USB ports, and Bluetooth-capable sound systems. Full-size coaches add flat-screen monitors, DVD players, PA microphones, and rear lavatories.
