Charter Bus Rentals Burlington, Vermont

The cost of renting a charter bus in Burlington typically ranges from $1,200 to $3,500 per day, but exact pricing depends on the vehicle size, trip duration, mileage, and time of year. Local trips are often billed by the hour (usually with a 4- or 5-hour minimum), while longer-distance or multi-day rentals are priced by the mile or day. For example, a 56-passenger coach might run $150–$250 per hour or $4–$6 per mile, while a 25-passenger minibus could be $125–$200 per hour or $3.50–$5 per mile. Peak months (May–June and September–October) tend to be more expensive due to high demand from schools, weddings, and foliage tours.

Multi-day or out-of-town charters (like a sports team traveling to Boston or Albany) can range from $4,000 to $8,000+ depending on distance and duration.

Several factors influence the cost of a charter bus rental in Burlington: the type and size of vehicle (larger buses cost more), the distance and duration of the trip (local trips may be hourly; longer trips are by mileage or day), the time of year (spring and fall are peak seasons due to school and wedding events), and any additional amenities requested (such as Wi-Fi or premium seating). Additional charges may include tolls, parking fees, and driver lodging for multi-day trips. Last-minute bookings can also be more expensive than reservations made well in advance.

Charter Bus Rental Burlington offers vehicles ranging from 18-, 20-, and 25-passenger minibuses to full-size 56-passenger motorcoaches, with several models available in each category. Larger groups can request multiple vehicles or a combination of bus sizes to match their headcount and budget. Many vehicles are available with optional amenities such as Wi-Fi, power outlets, reclining seats, and flat-screen monitors. ADA-accessible coaches are also available upon request.

Most modern charter buses offer reclining seats with headrests, climate control, overhead reading lights, luggage racks, undercarriage storage bays, and a PA system for announcements. Optional amenities include free Wi-Fi, 110V or USB power outlets at each seat, flat-screen monitors with DVD/Blu-ray players, Bluetooth audio, and onboard restroom facilities. Larger coaches may feature forward-facing video screens, individual tray tables, and upgraded upholstery. Ask about specific amenities when requesting a quote, as availability can vary by vehicle.

Yes, most full-size charter buses (40+ seats) come equipped with a compact restroom located at the rear of the coach. The facility typically includes a toilet, hand sanitizer or sink, and a small mirror. While suitable for emergency use, the restroom is not intended for extended visits. Minibuses generally do not have onboard restrooms due to space constraints. For longer trips, the driver can schedule regular stops at rest areas or service plazas with full facilities.

Many newer charter buses are equipped with 110V power outlets or USB charging ports at each seat row. These outlets can accommodate laptops, tablets, and smartphones. Some coaches feature dual outlets between seats or integrated USB ports in the armrests. If access to power is important for your group, please specify this requirement when booking so we can assign a vehicle with the necessary amenities.

Yes, Wi-Fi is available on most of our newer model minibuses and full-size charter buses in Burlington. The onboard wireless internet is suitable for email, web browsing, and social media, though streaming video or large downloads may be limited by bandwidth. If reliable Wi-Fi is important for your group, please request it when booking so we can assign a vehicle with this amenity. Cellular coverage along your route may affect connection quality in rural areas.

Yes, full-size charter buses have generous luggage space with both undercarriage storage bays and overhead parcel racks inside the cabin. Large items like suitcases, equipment cases, or display materials can be stowed below the floor, while smaller bags and backpacks fit above the seats. Minibuses offer limited luggage space—typically just overhead racks and a rear cargo area. If your group has extra luggage, please mention this so we can recommend an appropriately sized vehicle.

Full-size charter buses typically seat 50 to 56 passengers, depending on the model and interior configuration. Smaller coaches may offer 40 or 47 seats. Minibuses are available in 18-, 20-, and 25-passenger versions. For groups larger than 56, we can dispatch multiple vehicles and coordinate departure times. Mixed-size fleets (e.g., one motorcoach plus a minibus) are also available for groups with varying transportation needs.

In downtown Burlington, charter buses can load and unload passengers at designated zones on Main Street (near City Hall Park), College Street (by the UVM Medical Center shuttle stop), and Cherry Street (adjacent to the Marketplace Garage). The University of Vermont allows bus staging on South Prospect Street and at Gutterson Fieldhouse with prior arrangement. Waterfront destinations such as the ECHO Center and Lake Champlain Ferries have dedicated bus zones in their main lots. For longer layovers, the Lakeview Garage and Catamount Innovation Center offer oversized vehicle parking by permit. Schools and event venues often provide on-site bus staging areas. Always confirm parking details with your destination in advance, as city regulations may restrict curbside idling in busy districts.

It’s best to book your charter bus at least 2–3 months in advance, especially if your trip is during the busy spring or fall seasons. Large events, school trips, and weddings can quickly fill up available vehicles. For trips in May–June or September–October, booking 4–6 months ahead is recommended. Last-minute rentals are possible but may have limited vehicle availability and higher rates.
