Several factors influence the price of a party bus rental in Charlotte, including the size/type of vehicle, duration of the rental, distance traveled, and time of year. Larger buses with more amenities cost more than smaller or standard models. Longer trips and multi-day bookings increase the total price. Peak times such as weekends, holidays, and major events like the CIAA Tournament, Panthers home games, or large concerts can result in higher rates due to increased demand. Additional charges may apply for out-of-town trips, tolls, or special requests.

It’s always best to book your party bus as early as possible to ensure availability and lock in the best rate. For most events, we recommend reserving your vehicle at least 4-6 weeks in advance. During peak seasons—such as spring (wedding/prom season), fall (football games), and major holidays—buses can sell out months ahead of time. If you’re planning a trip during a high-demand period like Memorial Day weekend, New Year’s Eve, or when multiple events are happening downtown, booking 2-3 months in advance is strongly advised. Last-minute reservations are possible if we have availability, but selection may be limited.

Yes, we require a non-refundable deposit at the time of booking to secure your reservation. The deposit amount varies depending on the size of the bus and length of the rental, but is typically 20-30% of the total cost. The remaining balance is due in full at least 7 days before the date of service. We accept all major credit cards, ACH payments, and certified checks. Payment plans can be arranged for larger bookings if needed. Your reservation is not confirmed until the deposit has been received and the contract is signed.

Your quote includes the base rental fee for the party bus, driver’s time, mileage, and standard amenities. It does NOT include tolls, parking fees, gratuity, or any additional charges incurred during the trip. If your itinerary requires the driver to stay overnight or travel out of town, you are responsible for providing lodging accommodations (hotel room) and meals. Parking passes for venues like Bank of America Stadium ($40-$75), Spectrum Center ($20-$40), or PNC Music Pavilion ($30-$60) must be purchased separately by the client. Please review your contract carefully for a full breakdown of what is and isn’t covered.
