About Highpointcoachbuscompany.com
Highpointcoachbuscompany.com is an advertising and quote comparison website that lets you compare bus rental options and pricing from a network of bus companies serving High Point through a national booking company. Fill out one quick form — or call 336-609-8935 — and you'll see vehicles and pricing from different operators in seconds, all in one place, without calling around. Highpointcoachbuscompany.com is an advertising and referral website and does not own or operate vehicles. It connects you to a national booking platform where you can find and book the bus that fits your trip.
No — Highpointcoachbuscompany.com is a comparison and referral website. What that means for you in practical terms: you use it to compare vehicles and pricing from a network of independently owned bus companies serving the High Point area, and the transportation itself is carried out by those independent operators. You get more options and more price points in one place than you would by reaching out to a single local company, and you book directly through the national booking platform the site connects you to.
When you search for bus rentals on your own, you end up calling company after company, describing your trip over and over, and waiting on callbacks that may never come. With Highpointcoachbuscompany.com, you fill out one form or make one call to 336-609-8935 and get more vehicle options and different price points than any single operator could offer. You see what is available for your actual trip in seconds instead of hours, and the network of providers competing for your booking works in your favor.
That is time you get back, and options you would not have found otherwise.
An independently owned transportation company serving the High Point area. Once you submit your trip details, you are taken to a national booking platform where you choose the vehicle that suits your trip — the size, the amenities, the price. What you are selecting there is a vehicle and a price, not a company off a list.
The transportation company assigned to carry out the booking is confirmed to you after the booking is complete.
Booking a Charter Bus
Fill out the short form on this site — your pickup location, destination, date, group size, and trip times — or call 336-609-8935. Either way, you are taken to a search results page on a national booking company's website. That booking company partners with independently owned operators serving the High Point area, and their results page shows you the vehicles and pricing available for your specific trip.
From there, you choose the vehicle and price that work for your group and book directly on their website. The whole thing takes minutes.
Your pickup city, where you are going, how many people are riding, and how many hours you need the bus. That gets you a quote. The more detail you add — your stops, start and end times, any luggage or equipment, and the amenities your group needs — the more accurate the pricing comes back and the better you can match a vehicle to the actual trip.
More detail upfront means fewer surprises later.
Right away — there is no waiting on a callback. As soon as you submit the form, you go straight to the search results page on the national booking company's website and see vehicles and pricing for your trip immediately. If you would rather go through it with someone, call 336-609-8935 and a live agent can walk you through the options and help you find the right fit.
The earlier the better, especially for a popular date or a specific vehicle — but do not let timing stop you from submitting a request. Because Highpointcoachbuscompany.com puts your trip in front of a whole network of providers serving the High Point area rather than one operator with one yard, short-notice trips are often still workable. That is the real advantage of comparing a network instead of calling a single company and being told no.
Submit the request or call 336-609-8935 even on short notice and see what is available. You may be surprised.
All of those can be requested. Hourly or as-directed keeps the vehicle with your group for a set block of time and works well when the itinerary is flexible or the group needs the bus on standby. A one-way transfer moves everyone from one place to another — an airport run, a hotel drop, a venue transfer.
A round trip brings the group back to where they started. A multi-stop itinerary runs a set route with several stops built in, which is common for pub crawls, wedding shuttles, and brewery tours. A multi-day booking covers a trip that runs across more than one day, like a tournament or an out-of-state excursion.
Which format fits comes down to the trip itself — and if your route is multi-stop or overnight, lay the full itinerary out with the request so it comes back priced correctly.
Charter Bus Pricing
A charter bus costs $205–$385+ per hour on weekdays, $225–$410+ per hour on weekends, and $1,650–$2,950+ per day. Those are real planning ranges, and pricing is not one size fits all — the type of bus, the date, the distance, and the number of stops all move a quote. The range is where you start, not necessarily where you land.
The fastest way to see what your specific trip costs is to fill out the form and see pricing for your actual route in seconds. Or call 336-609-8935 — going through the trip with someone can turn up better pricing and packages than the form alone.
It depends on the trip, and all three are used. A short trip of a couple of hours is usually priced hourly. A trip that runs long distance — roughly past the 100-to-200-mile mark, or heading well out of the Piedmont Triad — may carry a per-mile charge instead of stacked hours.
And a long day, generally around eight hours or more, often comes back as a day rate because the vehicle is booked for so much of the day that a flat daily figure makes more sense than counting hours. Submitting the actual trip is what determines which structure applies — the booking platform prices it against your specific route and timing.
The type and size of bus, how long it is booked for, the date and day of the week, the distance, the number of stops, and how busy that date is locally all move a quote. Sunday through Thursday prices lower than Friday and Saturday. Daytime prices lower than those same evenings.
Booking the size the group actually needs beats over-booking capacity. And grouping riders into one or two pickup points instead of five cuts the hours on the clock. In High Point specifically, the weeks surrounding High Point Market — held each April and October — are among the busiest transportation periods in the entire Piedmont Triad, and buses across the region get taken early.
If your trip falls near a Market week, book as far ahead as you can. For everything else, submit the full trip details and see where the pricing lands.
About Charter Buses
A charter bus is a full-size passenger coach that a group hires for its own trip, with its own route and schedule, rather than riding a fixed public route. It is built for moving a large group over a distance in one vehicle, and a full-size coach seats roughly 40 to 56 passengers. The group sets the pickup, the destination, and the timing — the coach runs that trip and no other.
From the outside, a full-size charter bus is a tall, wide coach body with high windows running the full length of both sides and a row of luggage bay doors along the lower body. The exterior is usually finished in white, silver, black, or a solid color, and some coaches are wrapped in an operator's own graphics — so the coach that shows up will not always look the same. Inside, you will find forward-facing seats arranged in pairs on either side of a center aisle.
Seat fabric is cloth or leather depending on the make and model — a Prevost H3-45 tends to run a more upscale interior, while a standard MCI J4500 or Van Hool CX45 comes with well-padded cloth or leather depending on how the coach was built out. Overhead parcel racks run the full length of the cabin, and a restroom sits toward the rear.
Some of the amenities available on charter buses include reclining cloth or leather seats, individual climate controls, onboard restrooms, overhead parcel racks and undercarriage baggage bays, WiFi, power outlets and USB charging ports, a PA system, and flat-panel TV monitors. Features vary by make, model, and operator, so use "may include" as your guide — no specific vehicle is guaranteed to carry a given amenity until confirmed during booking. If there are amenities your group needs — WiFi, accessible seating, extra storage — note them with your trip details so the right vehicles come back in your results.
Generally 40 to 56 passengers, depending on the make and model, with 56 the most common build on a full-size coach. The MCI J4500 seats 56 as standard and can be built for up to 60. The Van Hool CX45 is the same — 56 standard, up to 60.
The Prevost H3-45 seats 56. Shorter 35-foot coaches seat closer to 44. What changes the count on the same coach is configuration — extra legroom or a wheelchair position each take seats out of the total.
Because Highpointcoachbuscompany.com works with a network of providers, the exact coach on any given trip depends on what is available for your date, so submit the trip or call 336-609-8935 if the group needs a specific capacity confirmed.
A 56-passenger coach runs 14 rows, with two seats on each side of a center aisle — forward facing, paired, one aisle down the middle. The row count drops on coaches built with extra legroom or a wheelchair position, since those configurations take out one or more rows. Some coaches also tier the front rows slightly for a better sightline down the aisle.
The layout is consistent across most full-size models: 14 rows, two-and-two, one center aisle.
A full-size charter bus is 45 feet long and 8.5 feet wide. To put that in perspective: it is roughly three cars parked end to end. That is the reason people ask — they are working out whether one fits somewhere, whether a parking lot, a venue entrance, or a narrow street.
Shorter coaches exist, most commonly around 35 feet, and they give up some capacity in exchange for more flexibility in tight spaces. The 45-foot coach is the standard full-size vehicle.
A full-size charter bus stands about 11 to 12 feet tall depending on the model, and traffic engineers design overpasses and garage clearances for 12 feet as a standard. To put it in terms you can picture: a little taller than the first floor of a typical house. That is the number to check against a parking structure or a covered venue entrance before the trip.
If clearance is a concern at a specific stop, note it with the trip details.
WiFi is one of the amenities available on charter buses, and many coaches on the road are equipped with it. Whether a given vehicle has it varies — onboard WiFi is an equipment option a coach is built with rather than something every coach carries. It is worth setting one expectation honestly, because this is where groups sometimes get surprised: onboard WiFi runs off a cellular connection and is built for light use across a full coach — phones, messaging, browsing — not for 50 or 60 people doing heavy work at once.
If the group needs WiFi, note it with the trip details so vehicles equipped with it come back in your results.
Yes — an onboard restroom is standard on full-size charter buses. It sits toward the rear of the coach and is there so the group does not have to stop. On a long run, the trip is still usually planned with real rest stops built in, and the onboard restroom handles what comes up between them.
If a restroom matters for your trip — a long haul from High Point down to Myrtle Beach, or a full-day run — note it with the trip details so it is confirmed for your vehicle.
Yes — charter buses are built with 110-volt AC power outlets, and coaches are commonly fitted with them at every seat, some with a USB port built into the same outlet. This is an equipment option rather than something every coach carries, so it varies by vehicle. What that means practically: a group can keep phones and laptops charged across a long run without fighting over one outlet in the back.
If the group needs outlets, note it with the trip details so the right vehicles come back.
Yes — in two places. Inside the coach, overhead parcel racks run the full length of the cabin. Underneath the coach, undercarriage baggage bays sit along the lower body and open from the outside.
A full-size coach carries roughly 460 cubic feet of underfloor baggage space and around 100 cubic feet in the overhead racks. Across a full 56-passenger load, that works out to roughly 8 cubic feet per person underneath and under 2 cubic feet overhead — in practice, about one checked-size bag each below plus one small carry-on above. What changes it: a coach fitted with a wheelchair lift gives up some baggage bay space, and bulky gear like instruments, sports equipment, or event supplies takes the space of several bags.
If the group is carrying anything oversized — team equipment for a tournament, furniture samples for a Market trip, production gear — state it with the trip details so the right coach is matched to the load.

The network covers a wide area across the Triad and well beyond.
High Point Market — held each April and October — is the single busiest transportation period in the city, full stop. More than 75,000 trade attendees pour into the Triad for each Market, hotels fill across Guilford, Davidson, and Forsyth counties, and buses across the entire region get taken weeks in advance. The weeks immediately before and after Market also carry heavy demand as showrooms set up and break down.
Beyond Market: prom season across Guilford County Schools runs late April through May, High Point University and GTCC commencements land in May, and the ACC Tournament at Greensboro Coliseum typically falls in March. New Year's Eve, major concerts at Greensboro Coliseum, and Carolina Panthers or Charlotte Hornets home games draw group travel from the Triad. On those dates, the whole local market moves early.
Book well ahead for any of them — and for everything else, submit the request even on short notice, because the network covers more than any one company's yard.
Planning Your High Point, North Carolina Charter Bus Trip
Yes — the network serves all three airports that High Point travelers use. Piedmont Triad International Airport (GSO) (1000A Ted Johnson Pkwy, Greensboro, NC 27409) is the closest, about 14 miles and 20–25 minutes from downtown High Point — the go-to for most Triad group transfers. Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT) (5501 Josh Birmingham Pkwy, Charlotte, NC 28208) is about 90 miles southwest, roughly an hour and 20 minutes, and handles the bulk of major carrier traffic for the region.
Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU) (2400 John Brantley Blvd, Morrisville, NC 27560) is about 75 miles east, around an hour and 10 minutes. For any airport pickup, the coach meets the group outside the terminal at the spot that airport designates for buses and larger vehicles, following that airport's own ground transportation guidelines. Have the group assembled with all luggage before calling the bus forward — that is what keeps the pickup clean and on time.
Yes — the network serves venues across the Triad and into Charlotte and the Triangle. Locally, High Point University's Millis Athletic Center (922 Panther Dr, High Point, NC 27262) hosts HPU Panthers basketball. Greensboro Coliseum Complex (1921 W Gate City Blvd, Greensboro, NC 27403) — about 18 miles east — hosts the Greensboro Swarm (NBA G League), major concerts, and the ACC Tournament when it comes to the Triad.
Truist Point (301 N Elm St, High Point, NC 27262) — in downtown High Point — is home to the High Point Rockers and Carolina Core FC. For Panthers and Hornets games, Bank of America Stadium and Spectrum Center in Charlotte are both about 90 miles south. Traffic patterns change significantly around events at all of these venues, so build extra time into the itinerary and note the event with your trip details — buses stage near venues rather than sitting at the curb, and a pre-arranged meet point after the game keeps the group together.
Yes — and for a city built around the world's largest home furnishings trade show, convention transportation is a core part of what the network handles. The High Point Market spreads across multiple showroom buildings throughout downtown High Point, and shuttle service between hotels and showrooms is one of the highest-demand uses during each April and October Market week. The High Point Theatre (220 E Commerce Ave, High Point, NC 27260) and Congdon Yards (400 W English Rd, High Point, NC 27262) handle events locally.
The Benton Convention Center (301 W 5th St, Winston-Salem, NC 27101) is about 25 miles west, and Piedmont Hall at the Greensboro Coliseum (2409 W Gate City Blvd, Greensboro, NC 27403) is about 18 miles east. Large venues have designated bus loading areas separate from the main entrance — and if you are running a repeat hotel-to-venue shuttle, lay out the full schedule with the request so it comes back timed and priced correctly.
Yes — any wedding venue in the area. High Point and the surrounding Triad have a strong range of venues, from estate properties to historic conversions. Regency at High Point (135 Eastchester Dr, High Point, NC 27262) handles large receptions in the city.
Childress Vineyards (1000 Childress Vineyards Rd, Lexington, NC 27295) — about 20 miles south — pairs a winery setting with event facilities and is a popular choice for couples who want the vineyard backdrop. Revolution Mills Events (1245 Revolution Mill Dr, Greensboro, NC 27405) is a beautifully converted historic mill about 18 miles east. The Grandover Resort (1000 Club Rd, Greensboro, NC 27407) handles larger weddings with full resort accommodations.
The most common wedding transportation setup is shuttling guests between a hotel block and the venue — give the exact venue address and hotel pickup location with the request so the right vehicle gets matched to the route.
Yes — the network serves schools and campuses throughout the High Point area and across the Triad. High Point University (833 Montlieu Ave, High Point, NC 27268) is the city's primary four-year institution. Guilford Technical Community College serves High Point from its campus at 901 S Main St and its Jamestown campus at 601 E Main St, Jamestown, NC 27282.
Guilford County Schools operates multiple high schools in and around High Point — Andrews, High Point Central, Southwest Guilford, and Wesleyan Christian Academy among them. UNC Greensboro, Guilford College, and Wake Forest University are all within 30 miles. Field trips and team travel are usually pickups at the school or campus itself, campuses have designated bus loading zones, and student trips should include the exact headcount plus any chaperone or accessibility needs with the request.
Yes — and the Triad and Yadkin Valley give a group plenty of ground to cover. For a local taproom loop, Pig Pounder Brewery (1107 Grecade St, Greensboro, NC 27408) and Joymongers Barrel Hall (574 S Elm St, Greensboro, NC 27406) are both about 18 miles east. Preyer Brewing Company (2810 Horse Pen Creek Rd, Greensboro, NC 27410) is about 20 miles out.
Head west 25 miles and you hit Foothills Brewing (638 W 4th St, Winston-Salem, NC 27101) and Wise Man Brewing (826 Angelo Brothers Ave, Winston-Salem, NC 27101). For a winery run, Childress Vineyards is about 20 miles south, and the Yadkin Valley wine region — including Raffaldini Vineyards (450 Groce Rd, Ronda, NC 28670) — is about 55 miles northwest. A multi-stop tour is timed by how long the group stays at each spot, so list your stops and how long you plan at each one when you submit the request — that is what gets the hours and the price right.
Yes — long-distance trips are a regular part of what the network handles. From High Point, common destinations include Charlotte (90 miles south, about 1 hour 20 minutes on I-85), Raleigh (75 miles east, about 1 hour 10 minutes on I-40), Asheville (175 miles west, about 2 hours 45 minutes), Myrtle Beach (285 miles southeast, about 4 hours), Virginia Beach (220 miles northeast, about 3 hours 30 minutes), and Washington, D.C. (340 miles north, about 5 hours). Carowinds near Charlotte is about 95 miles south, and Kings Dominion in Virginia is about 220 miles north.
A long-distance trip is usually booked as a one-way transfer or a multi-day trip rather than by the hour — and if the trip runs overnight, lay out the full itinerary with the request so it comes back priced correctly for the distance and the days involved.
