Several things influence the cost of your Asheville bus rental: vehicle size (minibus vs. full-size coach), trip duration (hourly, daily, multi-day), mileage, and time of year. Peak seasons like spring and fall—when tourists flock to see Biltmore blooms or Blue Ridge Parkway foliage—can raise rates due to high demand. Special events like LEAF Festival, Asheville Marathon, or college graduations at UNC Asheville also impact pricing. Additional amenities such as TVs, WiFi, or extra luggage space may affect the quote. To get the best rate, book early and provide detailed info about your route, schedule, and group size.

If you’re visiting Biltmore Estate, they have dedicated bus parking for tour groups. Always check with your venue or hotel about oversized vehicle policies. Our team can help coordinate parking logistics based on your itinerary.

Your quote covers the use of the bus for the agreed-upon time and distance, plus standard amenities like A/C, seating, and onboard entertainment systems. Optional features such as WiFi, power outlets, or restroom access are included if requested. Tolls, parking fees, and gratuity are not included and should be budgeted separately.

Yes, we offer one-way bus rentals between Asheville and cities like Charlotte, Raleigh, Greensboro, Atlanta, Knoxville, and Greenville. This is ideal for airport transfers, cruise departures, or relocating a group without needing the bus to wait or return.

If you need transportation in both directions but on different days (such as a wedding shuttle to Lake Lure with pickup the next morning), let us know so we can customize your package.
