Bus Rentals in New Britain, Connecticut

A charter bus is a large motorcoach rented by individuals, businesses, or organizations to transport groups of people together on a custom itinerary. Unlike public buses with fixed routes, charter buses travel wherever and whenever the client wants—whether that’s a day trip to Lake Compounce, a wedding shuttle between Hartford hotels and The Society Room, or a weeklong band tour across New England. Most charters seat 40–56 passengers and have cushioned high-back seats, overhead luggage racks, climate control, and a restroom at the rear. They’re used for everything from field trips and corporate outings to sports team travel and church retreats.

We have one of the most diverse fleets in Connecticut, including 56-passenger motorcoaches, 25- to 35-passenger minibuses, executive sprinter vans, party buses, entertainer coaches, and specialty vehicles like ADA-accessible models or Wi-Fi-equipped tech shuttles. All major brands are represented (Prevost, Van Hool, MCI, Temsa, Setra, Grech, Turtle Top), so we can handle any job—from a simple student shuttle to a luxury corporate charter with leather seats and flat screens. If you need something specific—like extra luggage space for band equipment or USB outlets at every row—just ask.

Charter bus pricing depends on several factors: trip distance, duration, vehicle size/type, time of year, and amenity requests. Local single-day charters within Hartford County typically range from $1,200 to $2,500 total. For example, a round-trip shuttle from CCSU to downtown Hartford might be $1,400, while an all-day wedding package with multiple pickups could be $2,000+. Multi-day trips are usually billed by the mile or day—e.g., $3,500 for a weekend tournament in Boston. Minibuses cost less than full-size coaches.

The biggest factors are trip length (miles/hours), number of days, and bus size. Peak demand periods—like spring field trip season or fall foliage weekends—can raise rates due to limited availability. Special requests such as premium amenities (Wi-Fi, DVD monitors, reclining seats) or last-minute changes may add surcharges. Overnight trips require lodging accommodations for the driver, which is an extra expense. Parking fees at venues like XL Center or Rentschler Field are not included and should be arranged by the client. Large groups booking multiple vehicles sometimes get volume discounts.

Booking is simple: call our office at 959-310-3640 or fill out the online form with your trip details (date, pickup/drop-off addresses, group size, special needs).

Standard amenities include cushioned reclining seats, individual reading lights, powerful HVAC climate control, overhead parcel racks, underfloor luggage bays, and an onboard restroom (motorcoaches only). Most buses have flat-screen TV monitors with DVD/CD player, PA microphone, and USB/power outlets. Premium features by request: free Wi-Fi hotspot, 110V electrical plugs, leather upholstery, tray tables, cup holders, window shades, and extra legroom.

Custom branding or signage available for corporate clients.

Many of our charter buses come equipped with free Wi-Fi and power outlets, but it depends on the exact make and model. Wi-Fi allows passengers to check email, stream music, or browse social media while en route. USB charging ports or 110V electrical sockets are typically located at each row for convenient device charging. If internet connectivity is essential for your group—such as a corporate team needing to work remotely—please specify this requirement when booking so we can assign a properly outfitted vehicle. Additional bandwidth upgrades available for large groups upon request.
