How soon do I need to book my Raleigh charter bus rental?

With BusBank, you can seamlessly charter a vehicle the day before service, or even the day of service in emergencies. For the best availability and pricing, we recommend booking your Raleigh-Durham charter bus as soon as you have most of your trip details. The area hosts major events year-round, including university commencements, sports games, cultural festivals, and large conferences, which can quickly increase demand for transportation. Reserving early not only guarantees availability and a wider selection of vehicles but also often provides access to more competitive pricing—even if you still need to finalize passenger counts or adjust your itinerary later.

How many people can a charter bus accommodate?

Seating capacity depends on the bus type. A full-size charter bus typically seats 36 to 60 passengers, with an average capacity being around 50 to 60. For small to mid-sized groups, Sprinter vans and minibuses provide a more cost-effective option, making them well-suited for shorter trips such as school field trips, employee shuttles, wedding shuttles, and similar group travel needs.
