Several factors affect the price of your Richmond bus rental: the type and size of vehicle you choose (shuttle bus vs. minibus vs. charter bus), the number of hours or days you need it, the total mileage of your trip, the time of year (spring and fall are peak seasons due to weddings, school trips, and events like the Monument Avenue 10k and Richmond Folk Festival), and any special amenities requested (like WiFi, leather seats, or extra luggage space). Additional expenses such as tolls, parking fees, and driver accommodations (hotel room for multi-day trips) are not included in the base price and must be paid separately.
