Types of Buses Available
Below are some of the most commonly available vehicle types. Vehicle photos show representative examples — exact make, model, color, interior, features, and availability vary by provider and trip.
14 Passenger Sprinter Limo
The 14-passenger Sprinter limo is the go-to for smaller groups that want something a step above a standard vehicle — think premium leather, privacy glass, and a cabin that actually feels like an occasion. Weekday hourly rates run $200–$325; weekend hours typically land $225–$350. It's a sharp fit for a bridal party pickup at The Umstead Hotel or an executive transfer from RTP to RDU without the hassle of coordinating separate cars.

Sprinter Van Rental with Driver
The Sprinter Van Rental with Driver seats up to 14 and delivers clean, comfortable point-to-point transfers without the party bus footprint — ideal for smaller corporate groups shuttling between downtown Durham hotels and Research Triangle Park, or a tight-knit wedding party moving between the venue and the hotel block. Weekday hourly rates run $200–$275; weekend hours typically land $225–$375. Get your quote in about a minute at 919-221-6059.
Common features may include:
- Climate Control

15 Passenger Party Bus
A 15-passenger party bus is the entry point for groups that want a real party atmosphere — LED lighting, a sound system, and perimeter seating — without renting more bus than you need. It threads through Durham's tighter urban blocks near the Warehouse District and American Tobacco Campus far more easily than a full-size coach. Weekday hourly rates run $200–$350; weekend hours typically land $250–$350.
Call 919-221-6059 to lock in your date.
Common features may include:
- LED & Fiber Optic Lighting
- Bluetooth Sound System
- Wraparound Leather Seating
- Privacy Tinted Windows
18 Passenger Party Bus
Step up to an 18-passenger party bus when your headcount nudges past 15 — bachelorette groups bar-hopping along Brightleaf Square, birthday groups hitting the rooftop bars on Main Street, or a small office team heading to a Durham Bulls game at Durham Bulls Athletic Park (409 Blackwell St, Durham, NC 27701). Weekday hourly rates run $275–$350; weekend hours typically land $275–$400. Use the form or call 919-221-6059 for pricing on your specific date.
Common features may include:
- LED & Fiber Optic Lighting
- Bluetooth Sound System
- Wraparound Leather Seating
- Privacy Tinted Windows
20 Passenger Party Bus
A 20-passenger party bus is one of the most requested sizes for Durham wedding shuttles — big enough to move the whole wedding party plus a few guests between a venue like Aloft Durham Downtown and a ceremony space in Chapel Hill without splitting the group. Weekday hourly rates run $250–$350; weekend hours land $275–$350. Rates shift with date and demand, so the fastest way to get your quote is to call 919-221-6059 or fill out the form.
Common features may include:
- LED & Fiber Optic Lighting
- Bluetooth Sound System
- Wraparound Leather Seating
- Privacy Tinted Windows
25 Passenger Party Bus
The 25-passenger party bus hits the sweet spot for mid-size group events — a corporate happy hour rolling from RTP to downtown Durham, a bachelorette night covering Fullsteam Brewery, Ponysaurus, and the bars along Geer Street, or a fan group heading south on I-85 to a Hornets game in Charlotte. Weekday hourly rates run $250–$350; weekend hours land $275–$375. Compare options and pricing at 919-221-6059 — no obligation, takes about a minute.
Common features may include:
- LED & Fiber Optic Lighting
- Bluetooth Sound System
- Wraparound Leather Seating
- Privacy Tinted Windows
28 Passenger Party Bus
A 28-passenger party bus works well when your RSVPs land right between the 25- and 30-seat options — no one stands, no one gets left behind. It's a practical choice for a larger Durham prom group, a multi-stop brewery crawl across the Bull City, or a company outing from a Research Triangle Park campus to DPAC for a touring show. Weekday hourly rates run $250–$350; weekend hours land $275–$375.

Common features may include:
- LED & Fiber Optic Lighting
- Bluetooth Sound System
- Wraparound Leather Seating
- Privacy Tinted Windows
30 Passenger Party Bus
When your group breaks 28 people, a 30-passenger party bus keeps everyone comfortable with room to move — a big deal on a longer haul like Durham to PNC Arena in Raleigh for a Hurricanes playoff game, where the I-40 backup after the final horn can stretch forty minutes. One bus means one parking headache, not six. Weekday hourly rates run $300–$375; weekend hours land $325–$425.
Call 919-221-6059 to check availability for your date.
Common features may include:
- LED & Fiber Optic Lighting
- Bluetooth Sound System
- Wraparound Leather Seating
- Privacy Tinted Windows
40 Passenger Party Bus
A 40-passenger party bus is built for the larger-scale occasions — a company kickoff event, a church group outing, a reunion that outgrew the carpool plan. For major Duke home football weekends at Wallace Wade Stadium, when parking around Erwin Road and the East Campus lots fills before kickoff, dropping 40 people at the gate beats circling for thirty minutes. Weekday hourly rates run $300–$350; weekend hours land $325–$500.
Call 919-221-6059 for your quote.
Common features may include:
- LED & Fiber Optic Lighting
- Bluetooth Sound System
- Wraparound Leather Seating
- Privacy Tinted Windows
50 Passenger Party Bus
The 50-passenger party bus is the largest party-style option available — and it shines when a big group wants the full experience: panoramic LED lighting, premium sound, full bar setup, and enough room to actually use all of it. Think a major Durham quinceañera, a conference afterparty for an RTP summit, or a multi-stop fundraiser night hitting venues across the Triangle. Weekday hourly rates run $300–$450; weekend hours land $325–$500.
Check availability at 919-221-6059.
Common features may include:
- LED & Fiber Optic Lighting
- Bluetooth Sound System
- Wraparound Leather Seating
- Privacy Tinted Windows
15-35 Passenger Minibus
The 15-35 passenger minibus is the workhorse of the Durham group transportation lineup — no party atmosphere, just clean reclining seats, overhead storage, and dependable A/C for groups that need to get somewhere efficiently. It's the standard pick for RDU airport shuttles, school field trips to the Museum of Life and Science, and corporate shuttles between downtown Durham and satellite offices across the Triangle. Weekday hourly rates run $200–$250; weekend hours land $200–$275.
Call 919-221-6059 for a quick quote.
Common features may include:
- Climate Control
- Bluetooth Sound System
- PA System
- Overhead Luggage Racks
40-56 Passenger Charter Bus
A 40-56 passenger charter bus is the right call when headcount is large, luggage is real, and distance is more than a quick hop — undercarriage bays handle equipment and bags, onboard restrooms eliminate pit stops on a run down I-85, and 56 seats mean no one draws the short straw. Perfect for Durham school groups heading to the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences in Raleigh, convention shuttles for a multi-day conference at the Durham Convention Center, or team travel. Weekday and weekend hourly rates both run $200–$350; per-day rates land $1,350–$2,850.
