Rent a Charter Bus in Boston

• Tour New England’s Top Schools

  With its many schools, you could think of Boston as one giant collegetown. Sure, the city is famous for several other things (like being the birthplace of American independence) but with more than 350,000 college students in the area, campus events are bound to be plentiful. National Charter Bus is here to provide shuttles for everything from tours for high school students to event transportation for campus organizations.

  If you’re planning a campus tour around Boston, you can build your own itinerary and leave the group transportation up to us! Take your top students to tour MIT, Harvard, and Boston University in a private charter bus. Explore at your own leisure and relax in your climate-controlled bus with reclining seats after a long day of walking around each campus.

  Are you a current student or a staff member at a local university? We’ll be sure you have the best group transportation possible for your volunteer event, greek life formal, academic conference, or any other collegiate event in the area!

• Take a Trip Through Time

  As an important location in the United States’ history, Boston is one of the best places for groups of history lovers to visit. From the beautiful grounds of Boston Common to Faneuil Hall Marketplace and the many sites along Freedom Trail, there’s days worth of history to explore. There are several companies that offer pre-organized tours of the city but many function on strict schedules. On your next group, consider building your own instead!

  National Charter Bus gives you the freedom to travel when and where you please throughout your entire trip. Take your time seeing everything at spots like Liberty National Historic Park and the Boston Public Garden. You’ll just need to organize a designated pickup/dropoff location and pay any parking fees for your bus. Once you’re ready to move to a new location on your itinerary, your driver can swiftly shuttle you along your way. 

• Day Trip around the Northeast

  If you’re a group of local Bostonians, it’s likely you’ll want a change of scenery from time to time. Boston is in a prime spot to plan a short day trip to Cape Cod or weekend excursion to New York City or Philadelphia. When you book with National Charter Bus, you’ll have access to a wide network of transportation partners across the region. We service trips of all distances and durations, meaning there’s no trip too far or too long to request.

• Private Rides for Sports Games

  There’s no better way to enjoy a game than with a big group of fellow fans. Traffic and parking in Boston is already a hassle. Throw in game day at TD Garden, Fenway Park, or Gillette Stadium, and you’ll have even worse gridlock to deal with. Save your group the trouble by booking a private charter bus! Your group can travel together and party before the game kicks off while your driver handles the roads. If you’re planning to drink on your charter bus, just be sure to let your reservation expert know when you call us for a quote.

  Each full-sized bus in our network is spacious enough for local amateur teams traveling for away games as well. You’ll have spacious luggage bays under the bus for all of your gear while the cabin is equipped with overhead compartments for personal items—from duffle bags to ski gear. You can also request a bus with reclining seats so your athletes can relax before and after a big game.

• Give Your Guests Easy Transportation

  Are you hosting a special event like a wedding or major gala for your community organization? Providing a shuttle service is one of the small ways to show your guests how much you care. National Charter Bus can provide exclusive transportation from guests’ homes, hotels, or any other location. A shuttle service is especially helpful for events being held in busy city centers and inconveniently far venues (a waterfront wedding ceremony in Plymouth or a rustic dinner surrounded by fall foliage sounds quaint until guests get lost on the hour-long drive).

  Your guests will have a team of professionals to take the group transportation of their hands. Everyone can focus on your special event instead of dwelling on the drive there. If you need an upscale charter bus or minibus, just let your rental expert know and we’ll do our best to find a vehicle with amenities like leather seats.
