Charter Bus & Coach Bus Rentals in Somerville, Massachusetts

A charter bus is a large vehicle rented by a group for private transportation to specific destinations. Unlike public buses with fixed routes, charter buses follow custom schedules set by the client. They’re commonly used for field trips to the Museum of Science, corporate shuttles between Assembly Row and downtown Boston, wedding guest transport to venues like The Row Hotel, or sports team travel to Dilboy Stadium. Charter buses have cushioned seats, overhead storage, climate control, and often restrooms. Smaller groups may use minibuses, which are more affordable but still offer comfortable seating and flexible routing.

Charter Bus Company Somerville offers four main types of vehicles: full-size charter buses (47–56 passengers), minibuses (18–35 passengers), party buses (15–40 passengers), and sprinter vans (10–15 passengers). Large charter buses are best for big groups traveling long distances—like school trips to Six Flags New England or company outings to Fenway Park—because they have lots of luggage space and optional amenities like Wi-Fi, power outlets, TVs, DVD players, and onboard restrooms. Minibuses are cheaper and easier to park on narrow streets in Davis Square or Union Square, making them ideal for small wedding shuttles or restaurant crawls. Party buses have perimeter seating, LED lights, sound systems, and coolers for bachelor/bachelorette parties heading into Boston nightlife. Sprinter vans are great for airport transfers to Logan or last-mile employee shuttles from T stations.

The average cost of renting a charter bus in Somerville ranges from $1,200 to $3,000+ depending on size, trip length, and season. Minibuses cost less—usually $900 to $2,000 for a day—and sprinter vans are cheapest at $600 to $1,200. Weekend trips in May or June are most expensive due to high demand from graduations at Harvard and Tufts. Weekday rentals in January or February are least expensive.

Main pricing factors are total mileage, number of days, bus size, and time of year. Longer trips—like an overnight charter to New York City—cost more than short local loops around Cambridge or Medford. Bigger buses with premium features (leather seats, flat-screen TVs, restroom) have higher rates than basic models. Peak seasons (spring and fall) see surcharges due to heavy volume from school events and weddings. Last-minute bookings may be subject to availability-based increases. Extra requests such as multiple pick-up points, layover waits, or out-of-town drop-offs can add to the quote.

Standard amenities on Somerville charter buses include reclining cloth seats, individual reading lights, armrests, climate control, and overhead racks for small bags. Most large coaches have underfloor luggage bays that fit suitcases for an entire sports team or band trip. Restrooms with toilet and sink are common on 50+ passenger models. Free Wi-Fi, USB/power outlets at each row, TV monitors with DVD/Blu-ray player, PA microphone, and cup holders are available upon request. Premium options like hardwood-style flooring, adjustable footrests, or extra-wide spacing can be reserved for executive charters. Minibuses offer similar comfort but usually no bathroom.

We serve all kinds of groups including schools, colleges, businesses, wedding planners, sports teams, religious organizations, and government agencies.

Nonprofits and political campaigns also book buses for rallies or canvassing days. Any group of 10 or more people needing point-to-point travel can benefit from a charter bus.
