Frequently Asked Questions About Coach Bus Rentals in Gastonia
FAQS
Gastonia Coach Bus Service has one of the largest and most diverse fleets in North Carolina, so you’ll always have options. We offer everything from 15- to 35-passenger minibuses built by Grech Motors, Battisti Customs, Midwest Automotive Designs, LGE Coachworks, and Tiffany Coach Builders; 40- to 56-passenger coach buses from MCI, Prevost, and Van Hool; 10- to 50-passenger party buses by Krystal, Grech Motors, Tiffany, LGE Coachworks, and Executive Coach Builders; 10- to 15-passenger sprinter vans; and classic school buses. Whether you need a compact shuttle for downtown Gastonia, a full-size charter bus for a field trip to Crowders Mountain, or a party bus for a night out in Charlotte, we have the perfect vehicle for your group.
Bus rental prices in Gastonia depend on several factors, but you can expect to pay between $145 and $550+ per hour for a charter bus, $150 to $450+ per hour for a minibus, $180 to $520+ per hour for a party bus, and $160 to $450+ per hour for a sprinter van. Daily rates range from $1,520 to $5,000+ for a charter bus, $1,520 to $3,465+ for a minibus, and $1,000 to $3,900+ for a party bus or sprinter van.

The main factors that affect your quote are the type of bus, the length of your trip, how many days you’ll need the bus, and what time of year you’re traveling. For example, renting a 56-passenger MCI coach for a weekend wedding shuttle in Uptown Charlotte will cost more than booking a 25-passenger minibus for a weekday corporate commute along I-85. Peak seasons like spring and fall—when schools are in session and sports teams are traveling—can also raise prices. Additional amenities, tolls, parking fees, and mileage outside Gaston County may increase your total cost.
