Charter Bus & Minibus Rentals in Somerville

A charter bus is a private, professionally operated motorcoach rented by a group to provide customized transportation on a schedule and route of their choosing. Unlike fixed-route public transit or intercity buses, a charter bus operates exclusively for the client—whether that’s a school, company, sports team, wedding party, or any other organization needing group travel. Modern charter buses typically seat 20 to 56 passengers and are equipped with comfortable reclining seats, climate control, onboard restrooms, luggage bays, and optional amenities like Wi-Fi and video monitors.

Charter Bus Company Somerville offers one of the largest and most diverse fleets of buses in Somerville and the Greater Boston area, with vehicles ranging from 15-passenger minibuses to 56-passenger full-size motorcoaches and several specialty options. Our fleet includes multiple models of minibuses (15–35 seats), standard full-size charter buses (up to 56 seats), and party buses (10–40 seats) built on Ford, Grech, Van Hool, Prevost, MCI, Setra, and Temsa chassis. We also offer several color choices (black, white, silver, custom wraps) and can provide multiple vehicles for large groups or complex itineraries.

Most modern buses include reclining seats, individual reading lights, powerful HVAC, luggage bays, and overhead parcel racks. Larger buses (35+ seats) typically feature one or two flat-screen monitors, DVD/Blu-ray players, a PA system with wireless microphone, and a full-size restroom. Many coaches offer 4G/5G Wi-Fi (with streaming support), 110V power outlets at every row, and USB-A/C ports. Optional upgrades include leatherette seating, forward-facing tables, ceiling-mounted luggage racks, and Bluetooth audio. Exterior color choices usually include black, white, silver, or custom wraps.

Yes, all our buses have dedicated luggage space. Full-size charter buses (40–56 seats) offer generous undercarriage luggage bays that can handle one large suitcase per passenger, plus carry-on items. Overhead parcel racks inside the cabin are perfect for backpacks, briefcases, or smaller bags. For most trips, you can plan on bringing one full-size bag underneath and one carry-on or personal item in the overhead compartment. Minibuses (15–35 seats) have smaller rear cargo areas and overhead shelves—suitable for day bags or light luggage, but not large suitcases. If your group has extra baggage, sports equipment, or bulky items, let us know in advance so we can recommend a vehicle with adequate storage.

Peak seasons (spring and fall), major events (like Boston Marathon or graduation weekends), and last-minute bookings can increase rates.

It’s best to book your charter bus as early as possible—ideally 2–6 months in advance—to ensure availability and get the best rate. Spring and fall are peak seasons due to school trips, weddings, and sports events, so buses can book up quickly. For large events or special requests (like an ADA-accessible or custom-wrapped bus), 6–12 months’ notice is recommended. Last-minute bookings are possible but may be more expensive and limited in choice.

Yes, we require a deposit at the time of booking to secure your reservation. The deposit amount is typically 30–40% of the total trip cost. Full payment is due 14–30 days before the trip departs. We accept major credit cards, ACH transfers, and business checks. Payment terms will be outlined in your contract, and our team will send reminders as the balance due date approaches.

Your quote includes the bus rental, driver’s time, fuel, and any standard amenities (like Wi-Fi or video monitors).

Our team will help estimate these costs and advise on the best arrangements for your itinerary.
