Charter Bus, Minibus, Shuttle Bus Rentals in Norfolk

A charter bus is a private, full-size motorcoach rented by a group for exclusive use—popular with Norfolk schools, sports teams, businesses, wedding parties, and church groups. You set the itinerary, schedule, and pick-up points (unlike public transit). Typical uses in Norfolk include field trips to the Chrysler Museum, campus shuttles between ODU and NSU, corporate outings to Harbor Park, or moving Navy crews between bases. Charter buses seat 40–56 passengers and feature cushioned seats, climate control, Wi-Fi, power outlets, restrooms, and underfloor luggage bays. They’re ideal for any large group needing reliable transportation across Hampton Roads or beyond.

Charter Bus Company Norfolk has one of the most diverse fleets in Norfolk, including minibuses, full-size charter buses, party buses, sprinter vans, and school buses from top manufacturers like MCI, Prevost, Grech Motors, Tiffany, Krystal, Battisti Customs, and Executive Coach Builders. We can send 15-35 passenger minibuses for smaller outings, 40-56 passenger motorcoaches for big events, 10-50 passenger party buses for nights out, 10-15 seat sprinter vans for quick trips, or even classic yellow school buses for budget moves. Whatever size group you have or features you need—WiFi, TVs, leather seats, USB chargers—we’ll match you with the best bus available.

Bus rental rates in Norfolk depend on vehicle type, trip length, and time of year, but most charters fall within these ranges: full-size buses $145–$550+ per hour or $1,520–$5,000+ per day; minibuses $150–$450+ per hour or $1,520–$3,465+ per day; party buses $180–$520+ per hour or $1,000–$3,900+ per day; sprinter vans $160–$450+ per hour or $1,000–$3,900+ per day. Prices are highest during graduation season, summer weekends, and major festivals like Harborfest. Your quote covers the bus and standard amenities—not tolls, parking, or lodging for multi-day trips. Contact us with your headcount and itinerary for an exact number.

The main factors affecting Norfolk bus rental prices are vehicle size (larger buses cost more), trip distance (longer trips mean higher mileage charges), duration (overnight or multi-day bookings add to the total), and timing (peak demand periods like spring graduations or summer beach runs may increase rates). Optional upgrades—such as onboard restrooms, extra luggage space for band equipment, or custom wraps for ODU fan buses—can also influence the final quote. Last-minute reservations sometimes cost more, especially during busy weeks when Harbor Park, Scope Arena, and local colleges all have events.

Booking a charter bus with Charter Bus Company Norfolk is simple: call our office at 826-245-9660 anytime or fill out the online quote form with your trip details. We’ll ask for your travel dates, pickup and drop-off addresses, group size, and any special requests (like ADA accessibility or extra luggage room).

Our team handles everything from dispatching the driver to coordinating arrival times at each stop.

Every charter bus in our Norfolk fleet comes equipped with comfortable reclining seats, strong air conditioning, overhead reading lights, and generous storage—plus free WiFi, power outlets at each row, flat-screen TVs with DVD players, and PA systems for tour guides or chaperones. Most full-size coaches include an onboard restroom and USB charging ports; minibuses offer compact layouts with surprisingly good legroom. For premium packages, ask about leather upholstery, hardwood-style floors, seatback tray tables, or Bluetooth-enabled sound systems. We can also provide coolers, cup holders, or bike racks upon request.

We serve every kind of group and event across Norfolk and Hampton Roads—including public and private school field trips, university athletics (ODU Monarchs, NSU Spartans), corporate commuter shuttles, shipyard contractor transport, military base transfers, wedding guest shuttles to waterfront venues, church retreats, summer camp excursions, and festival circulators for Harborfest or Bayou Boogaloo. Recent clients include Girl Scout troops visiting Nauticus, cheer squads heading to regional competitions, brewery tour organizers, and volunteer teams deploying for disaster relief. No group is too big, too small, or too specialized—we’ve seen it all and can handle it all.

One call gets your group moving anywhere it needs to go.

To get a fast, accurate quote, call our office at 826-245-9660 or use the online form on our website. Provide your travel date(s), origin and destination addresses, total number of passengers, and any must-have amenities (WiFi, restroom, etc.). Quotes are free, instant, and carry no obligation—just honest pricing from a company that’s been moving Norfolk comfortably for over a decade. For general questions, custom itineraries, or help comparing vehicle options, our staff is available 24/7/365. We pride ourselves on responsiveness and local expertise.

Charter buses can park or load at several designated spots around Norfolk, including the Waterside District bus loop, Harbor Park’s Lot D, MacArthur Center’s east garage entrance, and curbside zones near Scope Arena and Chrysler Hall. For school trips, use the Brambleton Avenue pull-off at Nauticus or the visitor lot at Norfolk Botanical Garden. ODU charters should stage on 49th Street behind Chartway Arena; airport pickups go to the commercial lane outside baggage claim. Always confirm with your venue beforehand—some downtown locations require advance permits or staging in remote lots during peak hours.

Every quote includes exclusive use of the bus for your entire itinerary, a driver, fuel, insurance, and all standard onboard amenities (WiFi, A/C, TV screens, etc.). Gratuity is optional but appreciated for exceptional service. Tolls (like the Downtown or Midtown Tunnel), parking fees at venues, and hotel rooms for drivers on overnight trips are NOT included and should be budgeted separately. If your schedule changes or you request additional stops mid-trip, there may be extra charges—these will always be communicated clearly upfront.

Start by counting every person who needs a seat—including chaperones, coaches, or assistants—and round up to the nearest available size (buses should never be filled to absolute capacity). Consider how much luggage, coolers, or equipment you’ll bring; sports teams and bands often require underfloor storage, while day-trippers may only need overhead racks. Prioritize amenities based on trip length: WiFi and power are essential for tech-savvy students, restrooms reduce stops on highways, and reclining seats make overnight journeys bearable. If anyone uses a wheelchair or walker, request a lift-equipped/ADA-accessible vehicle. When in doubt, our reps will guide you to the best fit.
