Several factors influence the cost of your bus rental: the size and type of bus, the length of your trip, the distance traveled, and the time of year. Larger buses like 56-passenger coaches cost more than smaller minibuses or sprinter vans. Multi-day trips or itineraries with lots of mileage—like a weekend tour of the Blue Ridge Parkway—will be more expensive than a single transfer across town. Peak seasons, such as spring (for graduations and proms) and fall (for football games and foliage tours), may also see higher rates. Optional add-ons like premium amenities can affect the final price too.

Roanoke has several options for charter bus parking, depending on your destination. Downtown locations like Elmwood Park, the Taubman Museum of Art, and Berglund Center have designated bus zones or nearby surface lots that can accommodate large vehicles. For events at Roanoke College or Salem Stadium, check with the venue for specific instructions—many have dedicated areas for oversized vehicles. If you’re visiting Mill Mountain Park or the Blue Ridge Parkway, there are pull-offs and trailhead lots suitable for buses. Always verify parking arrangements in advance, especially during major events or peak tourist seasons.
