No — Highpointcharterbuscompany.com is a comparison and referral website. In practical terms, that means you use it to compare vehicles and pricing from a network of independently owned transportation companies serving the High Point area, rather than dealing with any one operator. You submit your trip details, head over to a national booking platform, and choose the vehicle that works for your group.
The transportation itself is carried out by independently owned companies serving your area.
When you search on your own, you call one company, get one price, and hope they have availability. With Highpointcharterbuscompany.com, you fill out one form or make one call to 336-732-9000 and immediately see more options and different price points than any single local company can offer. You see vehicles and rates in seconds instead of spending an afternoon on hold.
More providers competing for the same booking means better options for you — and you get your time back.
An independently owned transportation company serving High Point. Once you fill out a quote, you head over to a national booking platform where you choose the vehicle that suits the trip — what you are selecting there is a vehicle and a price, not picking a company off a list. The transportation company assigned to the booking is confirmed to you after the reservation is complete, and they handle the trip from there.
Booking a Charter Bus
Fill out the form on this page or call 336-732-9000, and you are taken straight to a search results page on a national booking company's website. That booking company partners with independent operators serving the High Point area, and right there on their website you can see available vehicles with pricing and book the one you want — all in minutes. What you are choosing on that results page is a vehicle and a price, not a company.
The whole process takes less time than a single phone call to a local operator.
Your pickup city, where you are going, how many people are in the group, and how many hours you need the bus. That gets you a quote. The more detail you add — your stops, start and end times, luggage needs, and any amenities the group wants — the more accurate the quote comes back and the better the options you find.
More complete trip details mean fewer surprises later.
Right away — there is no waiting on a callback. The moment you submit the form you go straight to the search results page on the booking company's website and see quotes immediately. You can also call 336-732-9000 any time if you would rather go through it with someone who can walk you through the options and help you put together the right package for your trip.
The earlier the better for a popular date — and a larger group or a specific vehicle type books further ahead. That said, because Highpointcharterbuscompany.com puts your request in front of a whole network of providers serving the 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.
If you have a date coming up fast, submit the request or call 336-732-9000 right now — it is always worth checking what is available.
All of those can be requested. Hourly or as-directed keeps the vehicle with the group for a set block of time and works well when the itinerary is flexible or runs across several stops. A one-way transfer moves a group from one place to another without a return leg.
A round trip brings the group back to the starting point. A multi-stop itinerary runs a set route with several scheduled stops — common for winery loops, shuttle routes between hotels and venues, or game-day runs. A multi-day booking covers a trip that runs across more than one day, which is common for long-distance travel or events like the High Point Market.
Which format fits depends on the trip itself, and a multi-stop or overnight itinerary should be laid out in full 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, not a fixed price — what your trip actually costs depends on the size of bus, the date, the distance, the number of stops, and how busy that date is locally. High Point Market weeks in April and October, for example, put significant pressure on availability across the whole Triad, and pricing reflects that.
The fastest way to see what your specific trip costs is to fill out the form and see pricing in seconds, or call 336-732-9000 — going through the trip with someone can turn up better packages than you would find on your own.
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 Triad — may carry a per-mile charge instead of stacking hours.
A long day, generally around eight hours or more, often comes back as a day rate rather than an hourly total, because the vehicle is booked for so much of the day that a flat daily rate is more accurate. Submitting the actual trip — the route, the timing, and the stops — is what determines which structure applies and gets you the right number.
Several things move the price: the type and size of bus, how long it is booked for, the date and day of the week, the distance and route, the number of stops, and how much demand is on that date locally. Sunday through Thursday prices lower than Friday and Saturday. Daytime trips price 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 in High Point rather than five separate stops cuts the hours on the clock, which cuts the total. High Point Market weeks in April and October are the highest-demand stretch in the local market — if your trip lands in one of those windows, booking well ahead is the single most effective thing you can do to protect your rate and your options.
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 seats roughly 40 to 56 people depending on the make and model. The group sets the pickup point, the destination, and the timing — the coach runs that trip and nothing else.
On the outside, a full-size charter bus is a tall coach body with high windows running the length of both sides and 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 identical to a photo. Inside, you 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 Van Hool CX45 or MCI J4500 typically comes with contoured high-back seating, overhead parcel racks running the full length of the cabin, and a restroom toward the rear. The cabin is tall enough to walk upright from front to back, and the overhead racks are sized for carry-on bags rather than large luggage, which is why the undercarriage bays below the coach handle the bigger bags.
Some of the amenities available on charter buses include reclining cloth or leather seats, individual climate controls, onboard restrooms, overhead parcel racks and undercarriage luggage bays, WiFi, power outlets and USB charging ports, a PA system with microphone, and TV monitors. Because features vary by make, model, and operator, any of these may be available on a given vehicle rather than guaranteed on every coach. If specific amenities matter for your group, note them with your trip details when you request a quote — that narrows which vehicles come back to the ones that are actually equipped for what you need.
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 configured for up to 60. The Van Hool CX45 is the same — 56 standard, up to 60.
The Prevost H3-45 also 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 Highpointcharterbuscompany.com works with a network of providers, the exact coach on any given trip depends on what is available for your date — submit the trip or call 336-732-9000 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 — four seats across per row, forward-facing, with one aisle down the middle. The row count drops on coaches configured with extra legroom or a wheelchair position, since those configurations give up a row or part of one. Some coaches tier the front rows slightly higher than the rear for a better sightline, but the layout is otherwise consistent front to back.
A full-size charter bus is 45 feet long and 8.5 feet wide. To put that in terms you can picture: roughly three cars parked end to end. That length is the standard full-size coach, and it is the measurement that matters when a venue, a parking lot, or a loading zone has an oversized vehicle policy.
Shorter coaches exist — most commonly around 35 feet — and those work well when a venue has tighter access or a smaller group does not need the full capacity of a 45-foot coach.
A full-size charter bus stands about 11 to 12 feet tall depending on the model, and traffic engineers design clearances for 12 feet. A useful comparison: a little taller than a single story of a house. That measurement is the one that matters for parking garages, covered loading areas, and low-clearance structures — a coach that is 11.5 feet tall will not fit in a structure rated for 10 feet, and that is worth knowing before you plan a pickup inside a covered garage.
WiFi is one of the amenities available on charter buses, and many coaches on the road are equipped with it. One point worth knowing: onboard WiFi is an equipment option a coach is built with rather than something every coach carries, so whether a given vehicle has it varies by make, model, and operator. The other thing to set the right expectation on — because this is where groups get surprised — is that onboard WiFi runs off a cellular connection and is built for light use across a full coach: phones, messaging, browsing.
It is not built for 50 or 60 people doing heavy video calls or large file transfers at once. If the group needs WiFi, note it with the trip details when you request a quote, since that narrows which vehicles come back to the ones that are actually equipped.
Yes, an onboard restroom is standard on full-size charter buses. It sits toward the rear of the coach and is there so a group does not have to stop on a long run. That said, on a long-distance trip — say, a run from High Point down to Myrtle Beach or up to Washington, DC — the itinerary is still usually planned with real rest stops along the route, and the onboard restroom is the backup rather than the only option.
If an onboard restroom matters for the group, note it with the trip details, since that confirms the coach is equipped rather than assuming it.
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 from High Point to Charlotte, Raleigh, or beyond without hunting for a power source.
If the group needs outlets, note it with the trip details when you request a quote so the vehicles that come back are the ones actually equipped for it.
Yes, in two places — overhead parcel racks inside the coach and undercarriage baggage bays underneath it. 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 — which in practice is about one checked-size bag each below plus one small carry-on above.
That is the baseline. What changes it: a coach fitted with a wheelchair lift gives up some baggage bay space, and bulky gear like musical instruments, sports equipment, or event supplies takes the space of several regular bags. If the group is traveling with oversized items or an unusually large amount of luggage — common on multi-day trips to the Outer Banks or the mountains — state that with the trip details so the right coach is matched to the group from the start.
Charter Bus Service in High Point, North Carolina
The network serving High Point covers a wide range of trips. Airport transfers to and from Piedmont Triad International (GSO), Charlotte Douglas (CLT), and Raleigh-Durham (RDU) are among the most common. Corporate travel and employee shuttles — including hotel-to-showroom loops during High Point Market — are a major part of the local market.
Weddings and private events across the Triad, concerts and sporting events at Greensboro Coliseum and Truist Point, school and college field trips, church group travel, winery and brewery tours through the Piedmont, prom and homecoming, and long-distance trips to Charlotte, Raleigh, the mountains, or the coast are all bookable through the platform. Whatever brings your group together, submit the trip details or call 336-732-9000 and find the right vehicle for it.
The network covers High Point and the surrounding Piedmont Triad region.

The two High Point Market weeks are the highest-demand periods in the local market by a wide margin — Spring Market runs April 10–14, 2026 and Fall Market runs October 17–21, 2026, drawing 75,000 to 80,000 attendees from around the world into downtown High Point. Every bus in the Triad gets spoken for early during those weeks. Beyond Market, prom season across Guilford County high schools runs April and May, graduation at High Point University and the Greensboro colleges lands in May, the ACC Tournament at Greensboro Coliseum typically falls in March, and wedding peak season runs May through June and again in September and October.
New Year's Eve and homecoming weekends in October round out the calendar. On any of those dates, the practical move is to book as far ahead as possible. That said, Highpointcharterbuscompany.com puts your request in front of a whole network of providers rather than one yard — so even on short notice, submit the request or call 336-732-9000 and see what is available.
Planning Your High Point, North Carolina Charter Bus Trip
The network serves all three airports that High Point groups realistically use. Piedmont Triad International Airport (GSO) (7777 Airport Center Dr, Greensboro, NC 27409) is the closest, about 15 miles and 20 to 25 minutes from downtown High Point via I-40. Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT) (5501 Josh Birmingham Pkwy, Charlotte, NC 28208) is the major hub option, about 90 miles and 1 hour 20 minutes south via I-85.
Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU) (2400 W Terminal Blvd, Morrisville, NC 27560) serves groups coming from the east, about 75 miles and 1 hour 10 minutes via I-40. For any of them, 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, and build in extra buffer for CLT and RDU given the distance from High Point.
The network serves the venues where High Point groups actually go. Truist Point (301 N Elm St, High Point, NC 27260) is the home of the High Point Rockers (Atlantic League professional baseball), with the season running April through September; charter buses drop off along N Elm St near the ballpark. Greensboro Coliseum Complex (1921 West Gate City Blvd, Greensboro, NC 27403), about 12 miles from High Point, hosts the Greensboro Swarm (NBA G League), the ACC Tournament in March, and major concerts year-round; designated bus drop-off runs along Gate City Blvd. For groups making the run to Charlotte, the Carolina Panthers play at Bank of America Stadium (800 S Mint St, Charlotte, NC 28202) and the Charlotte Hornets play NBA games at Spectrum Center (333 E Trade St, Charlotte, NC 28202), both about 90 miles south via I-85.
Traffic patterns change significantly around events at all of these venues, so build in extra time — especially on Coliseum nights when the I-40/I-85 interchange backs up.
The biggest one in the market is the High Point Market itself, centered on 164 S Main St, High Point, NC 27260, with showrooms spread across downtown. The Spring and Fall Markets each draw 75,000 to 80,000 attendees, and the most common group transportation need during Market weeks is a repeat shuttle loop between hotels and showrooms — that kind of multi-run schedule should be laid out in full with the request so it comes back timed and priced correctly. Beyond Market, the network also serves Benton Convention Center (301 W 5th St, Winston-Salem, NC 27101), about 18 miles and 25 minutes from High Point via US-311, and Koury Convention Center (3121 W Gate City Blvd, Greensboro, NC 27407), about 10 miles and 15 minutes away.
Large venues have designated bus loading areas separate from the main entrance, and quote-request help can help you confirm the right approach for any of them.
Yes, any wedding venue in the area. Real venues High Point groups book include High Point Country Club (2201 Country Club Dr, High Point, NC 27262) and Grandover Resort & Spa (1000 Club Rd, Greensboro, NC 27407), about 10 miles from High Point, which offers hotel blocks on-site. Groups heading to Winston-Salem book Millennium Center (101 W 5th St, Winston-Salem, NC 27101) and The Barn at Reynolda Village (2201 Reynolda Rd, Winston-Salem, NC 27106), both about 20 miles away.
The Greensboro area adds The Proximity Hotel (704 Green Valley Rd, Greensboro, NC 27408) and Starmount Forest Country Club (413 Starmount Dr, Greensboro, NC 27408). The most common wedding shuttle setup is a loop between a hotel block and the venue, picking guests up and returning them through the evening. Giving the exact venue address and hotel address with the request gets the right vehicle matched from the start.
The network serves schools and campuses throughout the High Point area. High Point University (833 Montlieu Ave, High Point, NC 27268) is the largest campus in the city, with graduation in May and Big South Conference athletics year-round. Nearby, Guilford Technical Community College (601 E Main St, Jamestown, NC 27282) sits adjacent to High Point on the Jamestown campus.
In Greensboro, the network serves University of North Carolina at Greensboro (1400 Spring Garden St, Greensboro, NC 27412), North Carolina A&T State University (1601 E Market St, Greensboro, NC 27411), and Guilford College (5800 W Friendly Ave, Greensboro, NC 27410). High Point area K–12 schools including High Point Central High School (801 Ferndale Blvd, High Point, NC 27262) and Andrews High School (2301 Ferndale Blvd, High Point, NC 27262) are also served. Field trips and team travel are typically pickups at the school or campus itself; include the exact headcount plus any chaperone or accessibility needs with the request.
The Piedmont Triad makes for a genuinely good multi-stop loop. In High Point itself, Four Saints Brewing Company (218 N Centennial St, High Point, NC 27260) is the downtown anchor. A short 12-mile run to Greensboro adds Natty Greene's Brewing Co. (345 S Elm St, Greensboro, NC 27401) and Gibb's Hundred Brewing Co. (3416 N Elm St, Greensboro, NC 27455).
Head 18 miles west to Winston-Salem and Foothills Brewing (638 W 4th St, Winston-Salem, NC 27101) rounds out a Triad brewery circuit. For wine, Childress Vineyards (1000 Childress Vineyards Rd, Lexington, NC 27295) is about 25 miles south and 35 minutes via US-64 — one of the most visited wineries in North Carolina. RayLen Vineyards & Winery (3577 US-158, Mocksville, NC 27028) is about 30 miles and 40 minutes away.
Nightlife districts include the Elm Street corridor in downtown Greensboro and the Trade Street and Liberty Street area in downtown Winston-Salem. A multi-stop route is priced by total time, so listing the stops and how long the group plans to stay at each one gets the hours right when you request the quote.
Yes. Groups travel long-distance from High Point regularly, and the network handles it. Common destinations include Charlotte (~90 miles / ~1 hr 20 min via I-85 South), Raleigh (~85 miles / ~1 hr 15 min via I-40 East), Myrtle Beach, SC (~290 miles / ~4 hrs 30 min via US-74 East), Virginia Beach, VA (~290 miles / ~4 hrs 30 min via I-85 and US-58), Washington, DC (~375 miles / ~5 hrs 30 min via I-85 and I-95), Atlanta, GA (~380 miles / ~5 hrs 30 min via I-85 South), Asheville, NC (~175 miles / ~2 hrs 45 min via I-85 and I-26), and the Outer Banks (~280 miles / ~4 hrs via US-64 East).
Long-distance trips are usually booked as a one-way transfer or a multi-day trip rather than by the hour. Overnight trips need the full itinerary — route, stops, timing, and return — laid out with the request so it comes back priced correctly. Call 336-732-9000 or submit the full route online to get started.
