No — Haverhillcharterbuscompany.com is a comparison and referral website. In practical terms, that means you use it to compare vehicles and pricing from a network of independently owned transportation companies serving the Haverhill area. You submit your trip details, head over to the national booking platform, and choose the vehicle that fits your group and your budget.
The transportation itself is carried out by independent operators serving your area, not by Haverhillcharterbuscompany.com.
When you search on your own, you call one company at a time, describe your trip over and over, and wait for someone to call you back — if they do. With Haverhillcharterbuscompany.com, you fill out one form or make one call to 351-588-7820 and get more vehicle options and more price points than any single local company can offer. You see buses and rates quickly, and companies in the network are competing for the booking.
That saves you real time and puts you in a better position to find the right fit.
An independently owned transportation company serving the Haverhill area. When you fill out the quote form, you are taken to a national booking platform where you choose the vehicle that suits your trip — the size, the amenities, the price. What you are selecting there is a vehicle and a price, not a company off a list.
The transportation company assigned to the booking is confirmed to you after the booking is made, and they handle everything from there.
Booking a Charter Bus
Simple! Fill out the quick form on this site with your pickup city, destination, group size, and trip timing — or call 351-588-7820 if you would rather talk it through. Either way, you are taken to a search results page on a national booking company's website.
That booking company works with a network of independent operators serving the Haverhill area, and right there on their site you can compare available vehicles and prices and book the bus you want directly online. What you are choosing on that page is a vehicle and a price, not a transportation company.
Start with the basics: your pickup city, where you are going, how many people are riding, and how many hours you need the bus. The more detail you add — your specific stops, start and end times, any luggage or oversized gear, and the amenities your group needs — the more accurate the quote comes back and the better your chances of finding the right vehicle at the right price. More detail in means a better match out.
Right away — there is no waiting on a callback. As soon as you submit the form, you go straight to the search results page on the national booking company's website and see available vehicles and pricing for your trip immediately. If you would rather go through it with someone, call 351-588-7820 and a live agent can walk you through the options and put together a package around your itinerary.
The earlier the better for a popular date, and a large group or a specific vehicle type is worth booking further ahead. That said, because Haverhillcharterbuscompany.com puts your request in front of a whole network of providers serving the Haverhill area rather than one operator with one yard, short-notice trips are often still workable. That is the real advantage of comparing a network instead of calling a single company and being told no.
Submit the request or call 351-588-7820 even on short notice — it is always worth checking what is available.
All of those can be requested! Hourly or as-directed keeps the vehicle with your group for a block of time and works well when the itinerary has flexibility. A one-way transfer moves a group from one place to another — say, Haverhill to Boston Logan.
A round-trip brings them back. A multi-stop itinerary runs a set route with several stops along the way, like a brewery loop through Haverhill and Newburyport. A multi-day booking covers a trip that runs across more than one day, like a group heading to the White Mountains or Cape Cod.
Which format fits comes down to the trip itself, and a multi-stop or overnight itinerary should be laid out in full with the request so the quote comes back timed and priced correctly.
Charter Bus Pricing
A charter bus costs $205–$385+ per hour on weekdays, $225–$410+ per hour on weekends, and $1,650–$2,950+ per day. Those are real ranges, and pricing is not one-size-fits-all — the type of bus, the date, the distance, and the number of stops all move the number. The ranges are a starting point, not your price.
The fastest way to see what your specific trip costs is to fill out the form and get pricing in seconds on the national booking company's results page. Or call 351-588-7820 — going through the trip with someone can turn up packages and options you would not find on your own.
It depends on the trip, and all three are used. A short trip of a couple of hours is usually priced hourly — a Haverhill to Boston run for a Red Sox game is a good example. A trip that runs long distance, roughly past the 100 to 200 mile mark or heading well out of the region, may carry a per-mile charge instead.
And a long day, generally around eight hours or more, often comes back as a day rate rather than stacked hours, simply because the vehicle is booked for so much of the day. Submitting the actual trip details — the full route, the timing, the stops — is what determines which structure applies to yours.
The main factors: the type and size of bus, how long it is booked for, the day of the week and the date, the distance and the route, the number of stops, and how much demand is on that particular date locally. Sunday through Thursday prices lower than Friday and Saturday. Daytime trips price lower than those same evenings.
Booking the size the group actually needs beats over-booking capacity. And grouping riders into one or two pickup points in Haverhill instead of spreading them across five different stops cuts the hours on the clock and brings the total down. Prom season in late May and June, summer wedding weekends, and Patriots home Sundays at Gillette Stadium are among the busiest stretches for the whole North Shore and Merrimack Valley market — booking ahead on those dates gives you more options and better pricing.
About Charter Buses
A charter bus is a full-size passenger coach that a group hires for its own trip, with its own route and schedule, rather than riding a fixed public route. It is built for moving a large group over a distance in one vehicle, keeping everyone together from the first pickup to the last drop-off. A standard full-size charter bus seats roughly 40 to 56 passengers.
Outside, a charter bus is a full-size coach body with high windows running the length of both sides and luggage bay doors along the lower skirt. The exterior is usually finished in white, silver, black, or a solid color — and some coaches are wrapped in an operator's own graphics, so the coach that shows up will not always look the same. Inside, you will find forward-facing seats arranged in pairs on either side of a center aisle.
Seat fabric is either cloth or leather depending on the make and model — the MCI J4500 and Van Hool CX45 are two of the most common full-size coaches on the road, and both run cloth or leather depending on how the operator has specified them. Overhead parcel racks run the full length of the cabin, and a restroom sits toward the rear.
Some of the amenities available on charter buses include reclining cloth or leather seats, individual climate controls, onboard restrooms, overhead and undercarriage storage, WiFi, power outlets, a PA system, and TV monitors. Features may include any combination of these depending on the make, model, and how the vehicle is equipped — not every coach carries every option, and what a specific vehicle has is confirmed during booking. If there are amenities your group needs, note them with your trip details so the results come back narrowed to vehicles that have them.
Generally 40 to 56 passengers, depending on the make and model, with 56 the most common build on a full-size coach. The MCI J4500 seats 56 as standard and is built for up to 60. The Van Hool CX45 is the same — 56 standard and up to 60.
The Prevost H3-45 also seats 56. Shorter 35-foot coaches seat closer to 44. What changes the count on the same coach: extra legroom or a wheelchair position each take seats out of the configuration.
Because Haverhillcharterbuscompany.com works with a network of providers, the exact coach on any given trip depends on what is available for your date — submit the trip or call 351-588-7820 if the group needs a specific capacity confirmed.
A 56-passenger coach runs 14 rows, with two seats on each side of a center aisle — forward-facing, paired seating, one aisle down the middle. The row count drops on coaches built with extra legroom or a wheelchair position. Some coaches tier the front rows slightly for the sightline.
On a standard 56-seat layout, 14 rows is the number.
A full-size charter bus is 45 feet long and 8.5 feet wide. A useful way to picture it: roughly three cars parked end to end. The reason most people ask is that they are working out whether one fits somewhere — a venue entrance, a parking area, a narrow street.
Shorter coaches exist, most commonly around 35 feet, and the 45-foot coach is the standard full-size vehicle you will see on the road.
A full-size charter bus stands about 11 to 12 feet tall depending on the model, and traffic engineers design clearances for 12 feet. A useful comparison: a little taller than a single story of a house. The reason most people ask is that they are checking clearance somewhere — a parking garage, an underpass, a venue canopy.
If clearance is a concern on your route, note it with your trip details.
WiFi is one of the amenities available on charter buses, and many coaches on the road today are equipped with it. One thing worth knowing: onboard WiFi is an equipment option a coach is built with rather than something every coach carries, so whether a given vehicle has it varies. And the expectation to set honestly — because this is where groups sometimes get surprised — is that onboard WiFi runs off a cellular connection and is designed for light use across a full coach: phones, messaging, browsing.
It is not built for 50 or 60 people doing heavy work at once. If your group needs WiFi, note it with your trip details so the results come back narrowed to coaches that have it.
Yes — an onboard restroom is standard on full-size charter buses. It sits toward the rear of the coach and is there so the group does not have to stop. On a long run — say, Haverhill to New York City or up to Portland, Maine — the trip may still be planned with real rest stops along the way, and the onboard restroom is a supplement rather than a substitute.
If having a restroom on board matters for your trip, note it with your details so the right vehicle is matched to the group.
Yes — charter buses are built with 110-volt AC power outlets, and coaches are commonly fitted with them at every seat, some with a USB port built into the same outlet. This is an equipment option rather than something every coach carries, so it varies by vehicle. In practical terms, a group can keep phones and laptops charged across a long run — which matters on a trip from Haverhill to Boston for a full day or a longer haul to New York.
If your group needs outlets, note it with the trip details.
Yes — in two places. Overhead parcel racks run the length of the cabin inside the coach, and undercarriage baggage bays run along the bottom of the coach underneath it. A full-size coach carries roughly 460 cubic feet of underfloor baggage space and around 100 cubic feet in the overhead racks.
Across a full 56-passenger load, that works out to roughly 8 cubic feet per person underneath and under 2 cubic feet overhead — which in practice is about one checked-size bag each below plus one small carry-on above. What changes it: a coach fitted with a wheelchair lift gives up some baggage bay space, and bulky gear like instruments, sports equipment, or event supplies takes the space of several regular bags. If your group is carrying oversized items or more than one bag each, state that with the trip details so the right coach is matched to what you are actually bringing.

Gillette Stadium (1 Patriot Place, Foxborough, MA 02035) for Patriots and Revolution games is about 65 miles south — a full-day commitment where the bus keeps your group together from Haverhill through the parking-lot chaos and back. Tsongas Center at UMass Lowell (300 Martin Luther King Jr. Way, Lowell, MA 01852) is just 18 miles southwest for hockey and events.
