Several key factors influence the cost of your bus rental: vehicle type and size, trip distance and duration, number of days/hours booked, and travel dates. Larger buses with more amenities cost more than smaller models. Longer trips—like a weekend charter to New York City or a multi-day tour of Cape Cod—will be priced higher than local shuttles within New Bedford or Dartmouth. Peak season (April–June for school trips, May–October for weddings) can increase rates due to high demand, while off-peak months may offer lower prices. Additional charges may apply for tolls (like the Newport Pell Bridge), parking (such as Zeiterion Theatre or State Pier), or extra mileage outside the standard service area. To lock in the best rate, book early and provide as much detail as possible about your itinerary.
