For bigger groups, choose a 40-56 passenger coach bus from MCI, Prevost, or Van Hool with amenities like WiFi, power outlets, restrooms, and luggage bays—ideal for school field trips to the Museum of Science or sports team travel across New England. We also offer 10-50 passenger party buses from Krystal, Grech, Tiffany, LGE, and Executive Coach Builders, plus 10-15 passenger sprinter vans and classic yellow school buses. Whatever your group size or destination, we have the right bus ready to roll.

Bus rental prices in Cambridge depend on several factors, but you can expect to pay $145–$550+ per hour or $1,520–$5,000+ per day for a full-size charter bus, $150–$450+ per hour or $1,520–$3,465+ per day for a minibus, and $180–$520+ per hour for a party bus. Sprinter vans start at $160–$450+ per hour. Rates are highest during peak season (April–June and September–December) when demand is strong for graduations, weddings, and fall foliage tours.

Several factors influence the cost of renting a bus in Cambridge: the size and type of vehicle, the length of your trip, how many days you need it, and the time of year. Larger buses like 56-passenger coaches cost more than smaller minibuses or sprinter vans. If you’re traveling during peak season (spring and fall), rates will be higher due to increased demand from college graduations, weddings, and leaf-peeping tours. Long-distance trips out of state are more expensive than local shuttles around Greater Boston. Additional amenities such as onboard restrooms, TVs, or custom branding can also affect the price. To get the best rate, book early and have your itinerary details ready when you request a quote.

Cambridge has strict regulations about where large vehicles can stop, especially around Harvard Square, Central Square, and Kendall Square. Most charter buses load/unload passengers at designated curbside zones near major intersections or transit stations, then move to off-site parking until it’s time to pick up. For events at Harvard or MIT, arrangements must be made in advance with campus security or facilities management. Long-term bus parking is available at Alewife Station, certain MBTA lots, or commercial garages outside the city center. Always check with your venue and our team before finalizing plans—we’ll help you navigate the rules and avoid tickets or delays.

Your quote covers the use of the bus for the duration of your trip, all standard amenities (WiFi, power outlets, A/V equipment, restroom if applicable), and mileage based on your itinerary. Tolls, parking fees, and gratuity are not included unless specified. There are no hidden charges—what you see is what you pay. If you require additional services such as multiple pickups, extra stops, or special equipment, please mention this when booking so we can provide an accurate estimate.

The earlier you book, the better your chances of securing the exact vehicle you want at the best price. For peak seasons like college graduation (May-June), wedding season (spring/fall), and major holidays, we recommend reserving your bus at least 3-6 months in advance. For regular weekdays or off-peak periods, 4-8 weeks is usually sufficient. Last-minute bookings are possible if we have availability, but selection may be limited and rates higher. If your dates are flexible, ask about midweek or off-season discounts.
