Charter Bus Rentals in Greensboro, North Carolina

Why Rent a Bus in Greensboro?

Considering the town’s long history as a transportation hub for the South, Midwest, and Appalachia, it should come as no surprise that Greensboro is fairly easy to navigate by a number of methods. But how do you decide which mode of transport is right for your trip to Greensboro? Keep reading to learn more about different ways you can get around:

●      Greensboro Transit Authority (GTA): The city’s public transportation routes cover most major neighborhoods, districts, and attractions. Also, it only costs $1.50 for a one-ride pass, making this an accessible and cost-effective transport option if your destination is within city limits. However, large groups may have issues staying together while navigating the bus routes and transfers—especially those coming in from out of town.

●      Piedmont Authority for Regional Transportation (PART): This public transit system covers 10 counties in what’s known as the Piedmont Triad region, which includes Greensboro. So if you need a quick ride to surrounding cities like High Point or Winston-Salem, this express bus service can get you there for a fee of $2.40, one way ($3 one way for more rural counties). But like GTA, this mode of transport is not ideal for groups of 10 or more, out-of-towners who are unfamiliar with the routes, and groups with a lot of kids who can get lost easily.

●      Rideshares and Taxis: The biggest perk of these options? You can hail them on an as-needed basis—a convenient option if you don’t have a set itinerary and don’t mind waiting for your ride to come and meet you. However, if you’re with a larger group, you’ll need to split into multiple vehicles, and hailing more than one cab, Uber, or Lyft to get everyone you want around town can easily drive up your transportation expenses.

●      Private Bus Rental: If you’re on the road with a large group of people and want the least amount of mid-trip hassle for your passengers, a minibus or charter bus rental is your best bet. When you reserve through Shofur, we provide a vehicle that best suits your itinerary and number of passengers, as well as a professional driver to handle all the parking, navigating, and driving details throughout your trip. That way, no one will need to put miles on their personal car or pull out a map, and your group can stay together while on the road. Also, if you split the price of your bus among a large group of passengers, it will likely cost you the same (if not less) than hailing taxis or rideshares throughout your trip!
