No — Highpointcharterbusrentals.com is a comparison and referral website. In practical terms, that means you use it to compare vehicles and pricing from a network of bus companies serving High Point, and the transportation itself is carried out by independently owned companies in the area. You fill out one form, head over to a national booking platform, and choose the vehicle and price that fit your trip.
The site makes the search fast and easy; the independently owned operators handle the driving.
When you search on your own, you call one company, get one price, and move on to the next — and that takes time. With Highpointcharterbusrentals.com, you fill out one form or make one call to 743-256-1735 and immediately see vehicles and pricing from a whole network of providers serving High Point. More options, different price points, and a faster path from "I need a bus" to "I found one" — all without chasing down callbacks from a list of transportation providers serving High Point.
An independently owned transportation company serving High Point. Once you fill out a quote, you're taken to a national booking platform where you choose the vehicle that suits the trip — the vehicle and the price are what you're selecting there. The transportation company assigned to the booking is confirmed to you after you complete it.
The platform works with different operators serving the area, so the right vehicle is matched to your specific trip and date.
Booking a Charter Bus
Fill out the form on this page with your trip details — or call 743-256-1735 — and you're taken to a search results page on a national booking company's website. That booking company partners with transportation providers serving High Point, and on their site you can see available vehicles and pricing for your trip. What you're choosing there is a vehicle and a price.
Once you select what works for your group, you book directly on their website in just a few minutes.
At minimum: your pickup city, where you're going, how many people are riding, and how many hours you need the bus. The more detail you give — your stops, start and end times, how much luggage the group is bringing, and any amenities you need — the more accurate the quote comes back and the better the deal you can find. A complete itinerary gets you the most useful results right away.
Right away — there's no waiting on a callback. As soon as you submit the form, you go straight to the search results page and see quotes on the national booking company's website. If you'd rather go through it with someone, call 743-256-1735 and a live agent can walk you through the options, help build a custom itinerary, and find pricing that fits your group.
The earlier the better for a popular date, and a larger group or a specific vehicle type should be locked in further ahead. That said, because Highpointcharterbusrentals.com puts your request in front of a whole network of providers serving the High Point area rather than one operator with one yard, short-notice trips are often still workable — that's the real advantage of comparing a network instead of calling a single company and being told no. Submit the request or call 743-256-1735 even on short notice, and see what's available for your date.
All of those can be requested. Hourly or as-directed keeps the vehicle with your group for a block of time — the bus stays with you wherever you go. A one-way transfer moves the group from one place to another.
A round trip brings everyone back. A multi-stop itinerary runs a set route with several stops along the way, like a brewery loop or a wedding shuttle between a hotel and a venue. A multi-day booking covers a trip that runs across more than one day.
Which format fits comes down to the trip itself. If you have a multi-stop or overnight itinerary, lay out the full schedule with the request so it comes back priced correctly.
Charter Bus Pricing
A charter bus costs $205–$385+ per hour on weekdays, $225–$410+ per hour on weekends, and $1,650–$2,950+ per day. Those are planning ranges — pricing isn't one-size-fits-all, and a number of things move a quote up or down, so the range is a starting point rather than your price. The fastest way to see what your specific trip costs is to fill out the form and get pricing in seconds, or call 743-256-1735, where going through the trip with someone can turn up better pricing and packages than you'd find on your own.
It depends on the trip, and all three are used. A short trip of a couple of hours is usually priced hourly. A trip that runs long distance — roughly past the 100 to 200 mile mark, or heading well out of the Piedmont Triad area — may carry a per-mile charge instead.
A long day, generally around eight hours or more, often comes back as a day rate rather than stacked hours, simply because the vehicle is booked for so much of the day. Submitting the actual trip details is what determines which pricing structure applies — the booking platform prices against the full itinerary.
What moves the price: the type and size of bus, how long it's booked for, the date and day of the week, the distance and route, the number of stops, and how busy that date is locally. Sunday through Thursday prices lower than Friday and Saturday. Daytime trips price lower than those same nights.
Booking the size the group actually needs beats over-booking capacity. And grouping riders into one or two pickup points instead of five cuts the hours on the clock. In High Point, the 2026 High Point Market sessions run April 25–29 and October 17–21, and the event draws huge numbers of furniture and home furnishings buyers to the area.
Availability tightens and prices can rise across the Triad market, so book those dates well ahead.
About Charter Buses
A charter bus is a full-size passenger coach that a group hires for its own trip, with its own route and schedule, rather than riding a fixed public route. It's built for moving a large group over a distance in one vehicle, and a standard full-size coach seats roughly 40 to 56 people. Your group gets the whole bus — the driver runs the route you set, on the timeline you need.
Outside, a full-size charter bus is a tall, wide coach body with high-set windows running the full length of both sides and a row of luggage bay doors along the lower skirt. The exterior is usually finished in white, silver, black, or a solid color, and some coaches are wrapped in an operator's own graphics — so the coach that shows up won't always look the same. Inside, you'll find forward-facing seats in pairs on either side of a center aisle, with seat fabric in cloth or leather depending on the make and model.
Common full-size coaches include the MCI J4500, the Van Hool CX45, and the Prevost H3-45 — all running the same basic layout: overhead racks the full length of the cabin and a restroom toward the rear.
Some of the amenities available on charter buses include reclining cloth or leather seats, individual climate controls, onboard restrooms, overhead parcel racks and undercarriage baggage bays, WiFi, power outlets and USB charging ports, a PA system with wireless microphone, and flat-panel TV monitors. Features may include any of those depending on the make, model, and specific vehicle — what a given coach carries is confirmed during booking. If there are amenities that matter for your trip, note them with your details so the vehicles that come back are the ones actually equipped for your group.
Generally 40 to 56 passengers, depending on the make and model, with 56 the most common build on a full-size coach. The MCI J4500 seats 56 as standard and is built for up to 60; the Van Hool CX45 is the same, 56 standard and up to 60; the Prevost H3-45 seats 56. Shorter 35-foot coaches seat closer to 44.
What changes the count on the same coach: extra legroom configurations or a wheelchair position each take seats out of the total. Because Highpointcharterbusrentals.com works with a network of providers, the exact coach on any given trip depends on what's available — submit the trip or call 743-256-1735 if the group needs a specific capacity confirmed.
A 56-passenger coach runs 14 rows, with two seats on each side of a center aisle — forward-facing, paired seating, one aisle down the middle. The row count drops on coaches built with extra legroom or a wheelchair position, since those configurations take space out of the standard layout. Some coaches also tier the front rows slightly for sightlines, which doesn't change the row count but does change how the front of the cabin feels.
A full-size charter bus is 45 feet long and 8.5 feet wide. To put that in perspective: roughly three cars parked end to end. That's the measurement people are usually working with when they ask — checking whether one fits a venue driveway, a parking lot entrance, or a loading zone.
Shorter coaches exist, most commonly around 35 feet, and those are a better fit for tighter venues. The 45-foot coach is the standard full-size vehicle.
A full-size charter bus stands about 11 to 12 feet tall depending on the model, and traffic engineers design clearances for 12 feet. That's the practical number to work with if you're checking a parking structure, a covered drop-off, or a low bridge on the route — a little taller than a single story of a house. If there's a clearance concern on your route, flag it when you submit the trip details.
WiFi is one of the amenities available on charter buses, and many coaches on the road today are equipped with it. Whether a given vehicle has it depends on how that coach was built — it's an equipment option rather than something every coach carries, and it's confirmed during booking. One thing worth setting the right expectation on: onboard WiFi runs off a cellular connection and is built for light use across a full coach — phones, messaging, and browsing.
It's not designed for 50 or 60 people doing heavy work simultaneously. If WiFi matters for your group, note it with your trip details so the vehicles that come back are the ones equipped for it.
Yes — an onboard restroom is standard on full-size charter buses, located toward the rear of the coach. It's there so a group doesn't have to stop, and on a long run the trip may still be planned with real rest breaks along the way. Onboard restroom availability may vary by vehicle, so if it's important for your group, note it with the trip details when you submit your request.
Yes — charter buses are built with 110-volt AC power outlets, and coaches are commonly fitted with them at every seat, some with a USB port built into the same outlet. This is an equipment option rather than something every coach carries, so it varies by vehicle and is confirmed during booking. In practical terms, a group can keep phones and laptops charged across a long run without hunting for an outlet.
If the group needs power at every seat, note it with the trip details so the right vehicles come back.
Yes — in two places. Overhead parcel racks run the full length of the cabin inside the coach, and undercarriage baggage bays sit underneath it along both sides. A full-size coach carries roughly 460 cubic feet of underfloor baggage space and around 100 cubic feet in the overhead racks.
Across a full 56-passenger load, that works out to roughly 8 cubic feet per person underneath and under 2 cubic feet overhead — in practice, about one checked-size bag each below plus one small carry-on above. What changes it: a coach fitted with a wheelchair lift gives up some baggage bay space, and bulky gear like instruments, sports equipment, or event supplies takes the space of several standard bags. If your group is traveling with oversized items or an unusually large amount of luggage, state that with the trip details so the right coach is matched to the group.
