How much is a 56 Passenger Charter Bus rental?
56-passenger charter bus rentals in Wilmington cost $205–$385+ per hour, $1,650–$2,950+ per day, and $6.20–$8.95+ per mile depending on the provider, the date, and the specific vehicle. A Saturday wedding shuttle looping between downtown Wilmington hotels and a venue in Wrightsville Beach will price differently than a Tuesday airport transfer to Wilmington International Airport on Airport Boulevard. A handful of Wilmington dates — North Carolina Azalea Festival weekend in April, graduation at UNC Wilmington in May, and summer concert nights at Live Oak Bank Pavilion — have limited availability across the whole Cape Fear market, which means higher prices and fewer coaches left to choose from.
