Why Rent a Bus in Greensboro?

The skyline of Greensboro, North Carolina

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!

Tour Greensboro’s Prestigious Colleges

College-age students walk and laugh on a green campus lawn

The Greensboro area is home to several private and liberal arts colleges, a local campus of the University of North Carolina, and North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University—the largest historically Black college in the country.

If your academic hopefuls need reliable transit between these campuses, you can count on Shofur to get everyone to your tours right on time. Rather than splitting into multiple vehicles and struggling to find enough parking spots on each campus, a private bus rental allows everyone to arrive in unison—your bus driver can even handle all the parking details while you start your tour.

Columbia or Norfolk students who are here looking for out-of-state school options will need a comfortable ride that will keep everyone entertained for the long haul. With free onboard WiFi your chaperones can catch up on emails and check your social feed while the kids watch a movie on flatscreen TVs—just let your representative know what perks you want on your charter bus or minibus, and we’ll make it happen.

Greensboro’s Most Popular Destinations

International Civil Rights Museum

Great for: field trips, outings with history buffs

This building used to house Woolworth’s, a former restaurant and the site of peaceful sit-ins that helped the Civil Rights Movement gain traction in 1963. Nowadays, visitors can explore the history of the movement through exhibits, artifact displays, and lectures from docents and guest experts. Groups of 25 or more receive discounted admission, so reserve tickets in advance to save.

Address: 134 South Elm St, Greensboro, NC 27401

Charter Bus Parking Tip: The museum is located in the heart of downtown, so finding a parking spot (oversized or otherwise) can be a hassle.

ACC Hall of Champions

Great for: college sports fanatics, family vacations

This free museum showcases the accomplishments of colleges and universities in the Atlantic Coast Conference—including Clemson University, Florida State University, Georgia Tech, and more.

Address: 1921 W Gate City Blvd, Greensboro, NC 27403

Charter Bus Parking Tip: The Hall of Champions is located inside the Greensboro Colosseum Complex, which means you’d park in the same place you would for a game: the lot east of the Special Events Center, in the designated spots along Service Drive.
