Several factors influence the price of your bus rental: the size and type of vehicle, the length and distance of your trip, the time of year (spring and fall are busiest), and any special requests like premium amenities. For example, a weekend wedding shuttle to Hartford will cost more than a midweek corporate transfer in downtown New Britain. One-way trips, multi-day charters, and out-of-state travel may also impact your quote. Tell us as much as possible about your itinerary so we can give you the most accurate price.
