How Much Does a Party Bus Rental Cost in Norfolk?
Party bus rental prices in Norfolk typically range from $150 to $450+ per hour on weekdays, $150 to $500+ per hour on weekends, and $1,000–$2,800 or more for full-day packages. Smaller 15- to 20-passenger buses are the most affordable option, while larger 30-, 40-, or 50-passenger party buses cost more per hour but less per person when you fill every seat. Final rates depend on the size of the vehicle, total mileage, number of hours booked, and exact pickup and drop-off locations. The best way to get an accurate price is to call us anytime at 948-298-6020 with your trip details. We’ll give you an instant quote in minutes!
What Factors Influence Party Bus Rental Pricing?
The total cost of your party bus rental depends on several key factors: the size and type of vehicle you choose, the total duration of your trip, the distance traveled (including all stops), the date and time of your event, and any special requests or custom routing. Additional charges may apply for trips that run overtime, require multiple pickups/drop-offs, or take place during peak demand periods such as holidays, concert nights, or major sporting events. Optional add-ons like stocking the bus with ice, drinks, or decorations can also affect the final price. Our team will explain all pricing details upfront so there are no extra charges.

Call Now: 948-298-6020Distance and Duration of Your Trip
Most party bus rentals are priced by the hour with a minimum booking time of 4 to 6 hours. You’ll need to reserve the bus for the entire duration of your event—from the first pickup until the last drop-off—including any downtime while you’re inside a venue, restaurant, or club. For example, if you’re going to a concert at Veterans United Home Loans Amphitheater in Virginia Beach, you’ll pay for the bus to wait outside during the show. Longer trips that cover more miles may be charged a flat day rate or quoted based on total mileage if traveling out of town (e.g., Norfolk to Richmond or Washington DC). Be sure to provide a detailed itinerary so we can give you an accurate quote.
The Time of Year
Party bus rates in Norfolk fluctuate based on seasonal demand. Peak season runs from March through June when schools book dozens of buses for proms, graduations, and spring formals—causing prices to rise due to limited availability. Summer weekends are also busy with weddings, beach trips, and festival shuttles. Fall brings another spike for homecoming dances and football tailgates. Winter months (December–February) tend to be slower except for New Year’s Eve, which is always a premium date. If you’re planning an event during peak season, book early and expect to pay higher rates than in the off-season.
The Day of the Week
Weekend rentals (Friday and Saturday) are more expensive than weekday bookings because that’s when most people schedule parties, weddings, and nightlife outings. Demand is highest on Saturday nights, so rates reflect the increased volume of events. If you’re looking to save money, consider scheduling your trip on a Sunday through Thursday when prices are lower and availability is better. Some companies may offer midweek discounts or reduced minimum hours for weekday reservations.
Your Starting and Ending Locations
The exact pickup and drop-off addresses will impact the total cost, especially if the bus has to travel a significant distance before or after your event. For example, if you’re starting in Suffolk but ending in downtown Norfolk, you’ll be charged for the full round trip plus any “deadhead” miles back to the garage. Out-of-town destinations like Charlottesville, Richmond, or Washington DC will be quoted at a higher rate to cover additional fuel, tolls, and driver time. Local trips within the same city or county are the most affordable option. Be sure to finalize all locations in advance to avoid extra charges.
Your Bus Type and Size
Larger buses that hold 30 to 50+ passengers cost more than smaller 10- to 20-person vehicles, but they also offer the best value for big groups since the price can be split among more riders. Sprinter party buses and Hummer limos are usually the cheapest options for small parties, while full-size coach-style buses with room for 40, 45, or 50+ people command the highest rates due to their size, features, and limited availability. Stretch SUVs and classic black/white party buses fall in the middle of the price range. When requesting a quote, have an accurate headcount so we can match you with the right size vehicle. Upgrading to a bigger bus at the last minute may not be possible if everything is already booked.
Tolls and Parking
Tolls, parking fees, and venue access charges are NOT included in the base rental price and will be billed separately or paid directly by the customer. In Norfolk, common extra costs include Downtown Norfolk Council parking passes ($13–$22 per vehicle), Waterside District garage fees ($15–$25), Scope Arena surface lot parking ($10–$20), and MacArthur Center deck rates ($10–$15 per entry). Virginia Beach Oceanfront events may require pre-paid municipal lot passes ($10–$20 per bus), while trips to Hampton Coliseum, Portsmouth Pavilion, or Suffolk Peanut Fest could incur additional charges. If your itinerary includes tunnels or bridges, be prepared to cover tolls such as the Midtown Tunnel ($1.75–$5.25 each way) and Chesapeake Expressway ($3–$8 one way). Our team will advise you of any known fees in advance, but it’s the renter’s responsibility to ensure all parking and toll costs are paid.
Booking Timing
Last-minute reservations made less than 7 days before the event may be subject to higher rates or limited availability. To lock in the best price and secure your preferred vehicle, we recommend booking at least 2 to 4 weeks in advance—or even earlier during peak season. A signed contract and non-refundable deposit are required to confirm the reservation. The remaining balance is due before the bus is dispatched on the day of service. If you need to change dates, times, or destinations after booking, additional fees may apply depending on the new details.
Cost-saving Tips to Consider
To get the best value on your party bus rental, fill every seat and split the total cost among all passengers—it’s much cheaper per person when the bus is at capacity. Keep your itinerary local to avoid extra mileage charges, and limit the number of pickup/drop-off locations to reduce idle time. Schedule your event on a weekday or during off-peak months for lower rates, and book early to lock in current pricing before seasonal increases. Be flexible with vehicle size and color if you’re on a tight budget, and ask about any available specials or package deals. Finally, review the contract carefully so you understand exactly what’s included and avoid any extra fees.

Sample Trip Pricing Examples

Norfolk Bachelor Party Bar Crawl
A group of 18 friends booked a 20-passenger party bus for a Saturday night bachelor party in downtown Norfolk. The itinerary included bar stops at Waterside District, Granby Street, and Colley Avenue in Ghent, with pickups and drop-offs in Virginia Beach and Chesapeake. Total rental time was 6 hours from 7:00 PM to 1:00 AM. The quoted price was $1,800 ($300 per hour), which came out to $100 per person when split among the group. This mid-size party bus featured wraparound leather seating, LED lighting, Bluetooth sound system, and space for coolers. Additional time would have been billed at $300 per hour if the trip ran late.
Virginia Beach Wedding Shuttle
A bride and groom hired a 30-passenger party bus to shuttle guests between their hotel block in Town Center and the wedding venue at the Cavalier Hotel on the Oceanfront. Service ran continuously for 8 hours to accommodate the ceremony, reception, and after-party, with multiple trips back and forth along Pacific Avenue. The total cost was $2,400 ($300 per hour), which the couple paid as part of their overall wedding budget. Guests appreciated not having to drive or worry about parking, and the onboard entertainment kept everyone in high spirits. Larger buses were available but not needed for this size group.
Odu Football Game Tailgate
For a Saturday afternoon football game at S.B. Ballard Stadium, a group of 25 Old Dominion University alumni rented a 25-passenger party bus to serve as their mobile tailgate headquarters. The bus picked up fans at a park-and-ride lot off I-264, dropped them off near the campus, and stayed on-site for 5 hours before returning post-game. Total price was $1,250 ($250 per hour), which included all mileage and standby time. Riders brought their own food and drinks to enjoy onboard before and after the game. Smaller/larger options were available depending on turnout.
Prom Night Transportation for High School Students
For a spring high school prom, a group of parents arranged a 40-passenger party bus to transport students comfortably to and from the dance venue at Chrysler Museum of Art. The bus made multiple pickups across Chesapeake and Greenbrier, delivered everyone downtown by 7:00 PM, and provided return service at midnight. Total rental time was 7 hours at $400 per hour, resulting in a $2,800 package that was split evenly among all families. Adult chaperones rode along to supervise, and the bus remained parked outside the venue during the event. This large-capacity option ensured no one had to drive themselves or be left without a ride.
Bachelorette Weekend in Richmond
A bride tribe of 16 women booked a 16-passenger party bus for a two-day bachelorette weekend trip from Norfolk to Richmond. The bus departed Friday evening, stayed overnight at a downtown hotel, and returned Saturday night after hitting breweries, restaurants, and dance clubs on Broad Street and in Scott’s Addition. All transportation between venues was included. Flat-rate package price was $2,200, which covered approximately 220 miles round-trip plus unlimited use while in Richmond. Splitting the cost made it affordable for everyone, and having a private bus eliminated the need for Ubers or designated drivers.
Concert Shuttle to Veterans United Home Loans Amphitheater
A group of 12 music fans hired a 15-passenger party bus to attend a summer concert at Veterans United Home Loans Amphitheater in Virginia Beach. The bus picked up riders at a central location in Norfolk, dropped them off at the venue entrance, and waited in the parking lot during the show. Total rental time was 5 hours (6:00 PM to 11:00 PM) at a rate of $225 per hour, resulting in a $1,125 total that was divided among the group. Riders enjoyed pre-gaming onboard and not having to worry about post-concert traffic or parking fees. This is a popular option for any large-scale event at the amphitheater.
Birthday Brewery Tour in Williamsburg
To celebrate a 30th birthday, a group of 14 adults chartered a 15-passenger party bus for a full-day brewery and winery tour in Williamsburg, Virginia. The itinerary included visits to The Virginia Beer Company, Alewerks Brewing Company, and Williamsburg Winery, with lunch and dinner stops along the way. The bus departed Norfolk at 10:00 AM and returned by 8:00 PM for a total of 10 hours at $225 per hour, coming to $2,250 for the day. This flat rate covered all transportation between locations and allowed everyone to sample drinks responsibly without needing a designated driver. Larger buses are available for bigger groups or longer excursions.
