Frequently Asked Questions
FAQS
The cost of renting a shuttle bus in Norfolk typically ranges from $1,200 to $3,500 or more depending on the size of the vehicle, length of your trip, and exact itinerary. You’ll pay either an hourly rate (usually $175–$375 per hour with a 5-hour minimum), a flat day rate ($1,800–$3,500+ per day), or a per-mile rate ($6–$9.50+ per mile) for longer trips. Final pricing depends on your exact itinerary, including pickup location, destination, trip length, and number of days.
Several factors influence the price of your Norfolk shuttle bus rental: the type and size of vehicle you choose (18-, 20-, 25-, or 56-passenger buses), the total distance traveled, the duration of your trip, and the time of year you book. Peak demand periods—such as spring break, summer wedding season, and major events like Harborfest or the Virginia International Tattoo—can increase rates. Additional expenses like tolls, parking fees, and driver accommodations for multi-day trips may also affect your final cost.

We recommend booking your Norfolk bus rental at least four to six months in advance to ensure availability and secure the best rates—especially if your trip falls during a busy time of year like spring break, summer wedding season, or major events such as Harborfest, the Virginia International Tattoo, or college move-in weekends for local schools like Old Dominion University and Norfolk State University. Buses often sell out quickly around these high-demand dates, and prices can increase as vehicles become scarce. If you’re traveling with a large group, need multiple vehicles, or require a specific type of bus with custom amenities, locking in your reservation early will help you get exactly what you want at a price that fits your budget. Last-minute bookings are accepted if equipment is available, but selection may be limited and costs may be higher.
