Boston Charter Bus Rentals from Charter Bus Company Boston

A charter bus is a large motorcoach designed to transport groups of people together for private events, trips, or functions. These buses are commonly used for school field trips, corporate outings, sports team travel, weddings, and multi-day tours. Charter buses typically seat between 40 and 56 passengers and come equipped with comfortable, forward-facing seats and various onboard amenities. The vehicle operates on a schedule and route determined entirely by the group renting it.

Charter Bus Company Boston offers one of the largest selections of buses in Boston, Cambridge, Worcester, and throughout Massachusetts. Our fleet includes full-size charter buses (40-56 passengers) from top manufacturers like Van Hool, Prevost, MCI, Setra, and Temsa; mid-size minibuses (15-35 passengers); party buses (10-50 passengers) for special events; school buses (up to 47 passengers) for affordable local transportation; and sprinter vans (up to 15 passengers) for small groups or airport transfers. We can accommodate groups of any size for any type of trip.

Most modern charter buses include reclining seats, climate control, overhead parcel racks, reading lights, power outlets or USB ports, WiFi, and a PA system. Many also feature flat-screen monitors with DVD/Blu-ray players and an onboard restroom at the rear of the coach. Luggage bays below the passenger cabin provide ample storage for suitcases and equipment cases. Some newer models may offer additional features like HDMI inputs, tray tables, or hardwood-style flooring. Specific amenities vary by vehicle make and model.

Yes, full-size charter buses have substantial luggage space both above the seats and below the main cabin. Overhead compartments run the length of each aisle and are suitable for backpacks, briefcases, or small duffel bags. The undercarriage bays span the width of the bus between the axles and can accommodate large suitcases, coolers, musical instruments, or athletic gear. As a general guideline, each passenger can bring one full-size bag for the luggage bay and one smaller item for the overhead rack.

Yes, Charter Bus Company Boston can provide ADA-accessible buses with advance notice. These vehicles are equipped with a wheelchair lift, extra-wide entry doors, designated securement areas within the cabin, and handrails for additional support. We regularly work with schools, senior centers, and advocacy groups to ensure that every passenger has equal access to comfortable group transportation. Please specify any accessibility requirements when requesting a quote so we can assign a suitable vehicle.

It’s best to book your charter bus as early as possible—ideally 3 to 6 months before your trip date—to ensure the best availability and rates. Spring and fall are peak seasons in Boston due to school trips, weddings, and major events like the Boston Marathon and college graduations, so buses can sell out quickly during these times. For large events or trips requiring multiple vehicles, booking even earlier is recommended. Last-minute rentals are possible but may be limited in selection and higher in price.

Yes, we require a deposit at the time of booking to secure your reservation. The deposit amount is typically 30% of the total rental cost but may vary depending on the size and type of vehicle. Full payment is due 30 days before the date of service. For bookings made within 30 days of the trip, full payment is required upfront. We accept major credit cards, ACH transfers, and checks. Payment terms will be clearly outlined in your contract.

Your quote includes the cost of the bus, driver’s base pay, standard insurance, and all miles/hours specified in your itinerary. Not included are tolls, driver accommodations (hotel and meals for overnight trips), cleaning fees if the bus is left excessively dirty, and parking passes at venues. For example, bus parking at Fenway Park or TD Garden can range from $75 to $150+ depending on the event. Our team can help estimate these additional expenses based on your itinerary.

You can get a quote by calling our office or using the online quote form on our website. Please have details ready such as the date(s) of travel, pickup and drop-off locations, departure and return times, number of passengers, and any special requests. We typically provide quotes within 15 minutes. If you have a multi-day or complex itinerary, attach a schedule or list of stops for the most accurate pricing.

Yes, you can request a specific bus model, year, or exterior color if desired. Options include black, white, blue, red, silver, grey, and custom wraps for branding or team logos. While we do our best to accommodate preferences, exact availability may vary depending on the date and size of the fleet. If a particular make or model is required (e.g., Prevost H3-45, MCI J4500), please specify this when booking so we can confirm it in advance.
