Yes, we require a non-refundable deposit to secure your Durham charter bus rental. The deposit amount varies based on the size and type of vehicle but is typically due at the time of booking. This deposit ensures that your bus is reserved for your specified dates and will be applied toward the total cost of your rental. The remaining balance must be paid in full before the start of your trip.

The final payment for your Durham charter bus rental is due before the start of your trip. We’ll provide a clear payment schedule when you book, so you know exactly when each installment is due. Full payment must be received prior to departure—no exceptions. This policy ensures a smooth experience on the day of your trip and gives you one less thing to worry about while traveling.

Yes, driver gratuity is included in your Durham charter bus rental quote. However, if you feel your driver provided exceptional service, you’re welcome to offer an additional tip at the end of your trip.

Additional gratuity can be given directly to the driver in cash or added to your final payment upon request.

Yes, if your Durham charter bus trip requires an overnight stay, you’ll need to provide hotel accommodations for the driver. The hotel should offer easy parking for the bus and basic amenities.

Our team can recommend driver-friendly hotels if needed.

No, your Durham charter bus quote does not include tolls, parking fees, or entrance fees to certain venues. These additional costs are typically the responsibility of the group and must be paid separately. Tolls will be collected either in advance or during the trip, while parking fees at hotels, event venues, or attractions are not included in the base rental price. Please factor these potential expenses into your overall budget when planning your trip.

Durham allows charter bus parking in designated areas near major venues, downtown, and university campuses. Popular locations include the Durham Station Transportation Center, City-owned lots near the Durham Performing Arts Center (DPAC), American Tobacco Campus, and Durham Bulls Athletic Park. Duke University provides specific bus staging zones for campus events. Always confirm parking arrangements with your destination ahead of arrival—some facilities require advance reservations or charge oversized vehicle fees. For custom itineraries or neighborhood stops, our team can help identify legal curbside zones or nearby private lots that accommodate large vehicles. Just ask when booking, and we’ll ensure your bus has a place to park.

Durham’s public transit system includes GoDurham city buses, GoTriangle regional routes, and limited Amtrak or Greyhound service. While affordable, these options follow fixed schedules and routes that may not serve your exact destination—especially for groups heading to RTP, Duke, or outlying venues. A private charter bus offers door-to-door service on your timetable, keeps everyone together, and provides superior comfort for longer trips. It’s the best choice for schools, corporate groups, or event attendees who need reliable, customized transportation beyond what local transit can provide.
