Several factors influence the cost of renting a charter bus in Norfolk: the type and size of vehicle, length and distance of the trip, time of year, and any special amenities requested. Peak demand periods—such as spring for graduations and proms, summer for tourism, and fall for sports schedules—can drive up rates. Large events like Harborfest, Something in the Water, or major concerts at Scope Arena may also impact availability and pricing. Additional charges may apply for tolls, parking, or extended standby hours.

It’s best to book your charter bus at least three to six months in advance, especially if your trip falls during peak season (spring and fall) or coincides with major events like graduations, festivals, or sporting tournaments. For large-scale events or multi-day trips, even more lead time is recommended. However, we understand that plans can change quickly, and we’re often able to accommodate last-minute requests thanks to the size of our fleet. The earlier you reserve, the more options you’ll have.

If your itinerary requires crossing the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel, that toll is also extra. We’ll help estimate these costs based on your route.
