Charter Bus, Minibus, Shuttle Bus Rentals in Arlington

A charter bus is a large, private motorcoach rented by a group to provide customized transportation on a schedule and route of their choosing. Unlike public buses or pre-sold tours, a charter bus operates exclusively for the client’s party—whether that’s a sports team, wedding guests, employees, or students—making pickups, drop-offs, and stops according to their exact needs. Modern charter buses typically seat 40–56 passengers and are equipped with comfortable seats, climate control, onboard restrooms, luggage bays, and optional amenities like Wi-Fi and video monitors.

Charter Bus Company Arlington offers a full range of buses for rent in Arlington, including 15 to 35-passenger minibuses, 40 to 56-passenger full-size charter buses, and several specialty vehicles. Our fleet includes vehicles from top manufacturers like Van Hool, Prevost, MCI, Setra, Temsa, Grech Motors, and Turtle Top. We can also provide 18-passenger sprinter vans and 20 to 30-passenger party buses for smaller groups or special events. Many vehicles are available in multiple colors, including black, white, silver, and custom wraps.

Most modern Arlington charter buses include plush reclining seats, individual reading lights, powerful air conditioning, overhead parcel racks, and large undercarriage luggage bays. Standard amenities often include flat-screen video monitors, DVD players, a PA system or wireless microphone, 110V power outlets at every row, USB charging ports, and free onboard Wi-Fi. Many full-size coaches feature a clean, fully enclosed restroom at the rear of the cabin. Additional options can include forward-facing or conference-style seating, tray tables, hardwood-style flooring, and custom headrest covers or branding. On newer models, amenities may also include Bluetooth audio, HDMI inputs for gaming consoles or laptops, and optional exterior graphics or bus wraps.

Yes, all Arlington charter buses have ample luggage space for large groups traveling with baggage or equipment. Full-size motorcoaches offer both overhead parcel racks inside the cabin and spacious undercarriage luggage bays below the floor. As a general guideline, each passenger can bring one full-size suitcase or equipment bag for the undercarriage storage and one smaller carry-on item or backpack for the overhead compartment. Minibuses have limited rear cargo space but can still accommodate several larger bags plus carry-ons. If your group has oversized items—such as sports gear, musical instruments, trade show materials, or presentation equipment—please mention this when booking so we can recommend a vehicle with adequate storage capacity. For trips requiring additional luggage space, we can provide a second bus or arrange for a separate support vehicle.

Yes, Charter Bus Company Arlington can provide ADA-accessible buses in Arlington and throughout Middlesex County. Many of our larger minibuses and full-size motorcoaches are available with wheelchair lifts, wider aisles, and designated securement areas for passengers with mobility devices. These vehicles also feature accessible restrooms, low-entry steps, and handrails for additional support. If you need an ADA-compliant bus, please let us know when requesting your quote so we can match you with a vehicle that meets all of your accessibility requirements.

The biggest variables are the size and type of vehicle (minibus vs. full-size coach), the length and duration of your trip, and the time of year. Additional costs may include tolls, parking fees, and driver lodging for multi-day trips. Special events, such as Patriots games, Boston Marathon weekend, or college graduations, can also impact pricing due to increased demand.

It’s best to book your Arlington charter bus as early as possible—ideally 3 to 6 months in advance—to ensure the best availability and pricing, especially if your trip falls during the busy spring or fall travel seasons. Peak months for school trips, weddings, and sports events can see high demand across Greater Boston, making it harder to secure the exact vehicle you want if you wait until the last minute. For major events like Patriots games, college graduations, or large corporate gatherings, booking even earlier is recommended. That said, Charter Bus Company Arlington can accommodate last-minute requests and has successfully dispatched buses with as little as 24 to 48 hours’ notice. Just be aware that waiting may limit your options and could result in higher rates.

Yes, we require a deposit to secure your Arlington charter bus reservation. The deposit amount is typically 30% of the total trip cost and is due at the time of booking. The remaining balance must be paid in full at least 14 days before your departure date. We accept all major credit cards, ACH transfers, and—if arranged in advance—corporate checks. For last-minute bookings made within two weeks of departure, full payment is required upfront. Your reservation specialist will provide a clear payment schedule and can answer any questions about billing or payment methods.

For example, parking passes at Gillette Stadium can range from $40 to $150 depending on the lot, while downtown Boston garages may charge $20 to $50 per hour.
