What Affects the Price of a Charter Bus Rental?

Cambridge Charter Bus Services operates differently from other transportation companies. We work with charter bus providers in Cambridge and surrounding areas to offer you competitive pricing and a large network of charter bus rentals in Massachusetts to choose from. When you call us at 617-665-8490 with your itinerary, group size, and any special requests, we generate a free, no-obligation quote for you in minutes. You aren’t obligated to book once you receive your quote, but if you do, you’ll be asked to put down a deposit to secure your reservation.

We pride ourselves on transparent charter bus pricing and never having hidden fees. When you call us, we factor in all the logistics of your trip to get you a quote that you can rely on. Some factors we consider include:

  • The dates of your trip: Traveling during the holidays or during other peak seasons, like summer, can mean higher rates. If you have flexibility with your travel dates, we recommend avoiding busier times of the year.
  • The length and mileage of your trip: Local trips, like a trip to Fenway Park, are often priced by the hour. Longer trips, like a trip to New York City, are often priced by the day or by the mile.
  • Your starting city: Your charter bus quote will include the time it takes for your driver to get to you from the bus provider, which is called deadhead. That’s why it’s important to rent a charter bus from a local company like us!
  • Your group size: We offer charter buses in our network for groups of all sizes, from 18-passenger minibuses to 56-passenger charter buses. Larger charter buses tend to cost more than smaller models due to their size and amenities.
  • Your requests: If you need special accommodations, such as an ADA-accessible charter bus, be sure to let your reservation specialist know. While we will always try to accommodate any special requests, they may affect the cost of your charter bus rental.
  • How Much Does It Cost to Rent a Charter Bus for a Week?

    On average, it costs $8,000 to $15,000 to rent a charter bus for a week. If you are renting a charter bus for an extended period of time, you may be able to negotiate a lower rate, but be sure to book your charter bus as far in advance as possible to get the best rates and availability.
