Charter Bus, Minibus, Shuttle Bus Rentals in Lowell

Charter bus rental prices in Lowell typically range from $1,400 to $3,000+ per day or $200–$375+ per hour depending on the size of the vehicle, length of your trip, and season. Minibuses average $1,100–$2,500 per day; full-size charter buses run $1,800–$4,000+ per day. Final pricing is based on your exact itinerary, vehicle type, mileage, and any additional fees like tolls, parking, or driver lodging.

Your charter bus rental price is calculated based on several factors: the type and size of vehicle (minibus, full-size coach, sprinter van), the total duration of the trip (hourly, daily, or multi-day), the number of miles traveled, and the specific pickup and drop-off locations. Additional costs may include tolls, parking fees, driver accommodations for overnight trips, and any special amenities requested. Peak travel seasons and last-minute bookings can also affect the final rate.

Yes, we require a non-refundable deposit to secure your reservation. The deposit amount is typically 30% of the total rental cost and must be paid when you sign the contract. This deposit ensures that your vehicle is reserved for your desired dates and is applied toward the final balance. The remaining balance must be paid in full before your trip begins.

The final payment for your charter bus rental is due before the start of your trip. Full payment must be received prior to your departure date to ensure that your reservation remains active and your vehicle is dispatched as scheduled. We accept various forms of payment, including credit cards, ACH transfers, and checks.

Standard features include cushioned reclining seats, powerful air conditioning and heating, overhead parcel racks, and spacious undercarriage luggage bays on larger coaches.

We recommend booking your charter bus at least 6 to 9 months in advance to ensure the best availability and selection—especially if your trip falls during peak travel times like spring break, summer vacation, or the fall foliage season. Large events such as graduations, weddings, and corporate conferences often fill up quickly, so securing your reservation early will help you get the exact vehicle and amenities you want. Last-minute bookings are possible, but choices may be limited and rates can be higher.

Yes, you are responsible for providing accommodation for the driver on overnight trips. If your trip requires the driver to stay overnight away from their home base, you must arrange and cover the cost of a hotel room. The hotel should be clean and located reasonably close to your group’s lodging or final destination each day. Providing proper accommodations ensures that your driver is well-rested and compliant with federal hours-of-service regulations, which helps keep everyone together on the road. If you need help finding a suitable hotel, our team can recommend options that other clients have used successfully.

No, your initial quote covers the base cost of the bus, driver, and standard amenities, but it does not include additional expenses such as tolls, parking fees, or permits. Any tolls incurred during your trip will be added to your final bill, and you are responsible for paying any parking fees or special permits required at your destinations. Be sure to discuss your full itinerary with our team so we can help you anticipate and budget for these extra costs.

Parking a charter bus in Lowell requires careful planning due to narrow downtown streets and limited oversized vehicle spaces. For groups visiting UMass Lowell, the Tsongas Center, or LeLacheur Park, the university offers designated bus parking in lots A, B, and C by permit only—contact UMass Lowell Transportation Services in advance. Downtown charters can use the Edward J. Early Jr. Garage (75 John Street) or the Leo A. Roy Garage (100 Market Street); both have ground-level spaces suitable for buses but no overnight parking. Larger events at the Tsongas Center should utilize the facility’s surface lots, which accommodate multiple motorcoaches. Always confirm parking availability ahead of time, as on-street bus parking is prohibited in most downtown zones. For extended stays, regional park-and-ride lots along Route 38 and Industrial Avenue East may offer alternative options.

Lowell’s public transportation is operated by the Lowell Regional Transit Authority (LRTA), which runs fixed-route buses throughout the city and to nearby communities like Chelmsford, Dracut, and Billerica. While affordable, LRTA routes are designed for local commuters—not large groups heading to specific destinations. Schedules can be infrequent, transfers are often required, and there’s limited baggage space. Private charter buses eliminate these hassles by offering door-to-door service on your schedule. You set the pickup times, choose exact drop-off points, and keep everyone together—perfect for school trips, corporate outings, or wedding parties. Plus, you’ll enjoy comfortable seating, climate control, and optional amenities like Wi-Fi and video screens. When reliability and convenience matter, a private bus beats public transit every time.
