Several key factors influence the cost of renting a charter bus in Durham: the size and type of vehicle, the duration of the rental (hours vs. days), the total mileage or distance traveled, and the timing of the trip (including seasonality and demand around local events). Additional expenses such as tolls, parking fees, and driver accommodations may also apply. For example, major events like Duke basketball games, the Bull City Food & Beer Experience, or large conferences at the Durham Convention Center can impact availability and pricing due to increased demand.
