Church Shuttle Service for Durham Sunday Mornings and Special Services
Hit a Sunday when your parking lot is overflowing and your congregation is circling the block? A church shuttle bus is the answer!

Whether you run two services or four, you can compare vehicles from a network of providers and find the shuttle that keeps your congregation moving smoothly every week. Call 984-316-3500 to get a quote for recurring Sunday service!

Whether your group is heading to Ridgecrest Conference Center (~210 miles west on I-40) in the Blue Ridge Mountains, departing from Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU) (2400 John Brantley Blvd, Morrisville, NC 27560) for a domestic or international service trip, or heading to Camp Caraway (~60 miles via US-421) for a weekend in Sophia, Durhamcoachbuscompany.com helps you find the right bus fast.

Gospel Concerts and Regional Church Events Across the Triangle
It doesn't get more exciting than loading up the choir and heading out for a regional gospel concert or faith conference! When TobyMac or Casting Crowns rolls into PNC Arena (1400 Edwards Mill Rd, Raleigh, NC 27607) — about 25 miles east of Durham via I-40 — or when a major faith conference takes over the Raleigh Convention Center (500 S Salisbury St, Raleigh, NC 27601), your group deserves a bus that matches the energy. Charter buses drop off right on Edwards Mill Rd at PNC Arena, and the Raleigh Convention Center has designated charter bus drop-off on S Salisbury St. Instead of splitting your congregation across a dozen cars on I-40, one bus keeps everyone together — and the celebration starts on the ride over! Durhamcoachbuscompany.com makes comparing buses for events like these fast and easy!
At the Raleigh Convention Center (500 S. Salisbury Street, Raleigh, NC 27601), the recessed bus lane at the main entrance is shared with public transportation, and vehicles cannot be left unattended there for extended periods. Your bus unloads at the S. Salisbury Street lane, clears the curb while you attend the conference, and returns for pickup; the Raleigh Convention Center event planner handbook carries the bus-lane rule.

It depends on your headcount and how far you're going! A 15- to 25-passenger minibus works well for smaller youth groups heading to Camp Caraway in Sophia. A 35-passenger minibus handles a mid-sized group with room for luggage.
A full 56-passenger motorcoach with undercarriage luggage bays is the right call for congregation-wide trips to Ridgecrest Conference Center or the Billy Graham Library in Charlotte. Enter your group size in the quote tool and compare what's available!
Yes! Multi-stop pickups are one of the most common church transportation requests in Durham. Whether you need the bus to swing through South Durham, pick up members near North Carolina Central University on Fayetteville Street, and then loop through Northgate before heading out on I-40 or I-85, you can build that into your itinerary.
Just list your stops when you fill out the quote form, or describe the route when you call 984-316-3500.
Book as early as possible — ideally three to six months out for Easter and Christmas. Easter weekend is the single busiest stretch of the year for church transportation across the Triangle, and Christmas programming in November and December fills fast right behind it. Waiting until the last few weeks means higher rates and limited vehicle availability.
The earlier you compare and lock in your date, the better your options and the better your price!

RDU separates its terminal logistics: Terminal 1 is at 1600 John Brantley Blvd, Morrisville, NC 27560, while personal transportation services use Terminal 1 Zone 1 and Terminal 2 Zone 8 outside baggage claim. Charter bus pickup and drop-off are scheduled through RDU Ground Transportation at (919) 840-7530, with the office open Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Your bus gets one exact airport plan instead of leaving your mission team guessing at the curb; the RDU transportation services page carries the terminal zones and charter-bus instructions.
