Charter Bus & Minibus Rentals in Lowell

Charter bus rentals in Lowell typically cost between $1,400 and $3,500 per day, but rates can vary widely based on vehicle size, trip duration, mileage, and time of year. Local trips to Boston or Manchester might run $2,000–$4,000, while multi-day events or peak-season rentals can exceed $5,000.

Charter bus pricing in Lowell is typically based on either the number of hours, miles, or days your group will need the vehicle. Local trips within Middlesex County—such as shuttles to Tsongas Center, UMass Lowell, or downtown Boston—are often billed hourly (with a 4- or 5-hour minimum). Longer-distance routes—like Lowell to Worcester, Springfield, or Manchester-Boston Regional Airport—are priced per mile. Multi-day itineraries (e.g., multi-game sports travel or corporate retreats) are usually charged by the day. Factors like vehicle size, time of year, and custom amenities also affect the final rate.

Yes, we require a non-refundable deposit when you book your charter bus in Lowell. This deposit secures your vehicle and locks in your quoted rate. The remaining balance must be paid before your trip departs. Our team will provide a clear payment schedule and answer any questions about billing or accepted payment methods.

The final payment for your Lowell charter bus rental is due before the start of your trip. Specific payment deadlines will be outlined in your contract, but full payment is generally required 7 to 14 days prior to departure. We accept most major credit cards, ACH transfers, and other electronic payment methods for your convenience.

Yes, your Lowell charter bus quote will include a standard driver gratuity—typically set at 10% of the base fare. This ensures your driver is compensated fairly for their service. If you feel your driver went above and beyond, you’re welcome to offer additional cash gratuity at the end of the trip.

Yes, for multi-day trips requiring an overnight stay outside the Boston area, you are responsible for providing hotel accommodations for the driver. The hotel must provide secure parking for the bus and should be a standard business-class property (e.g., Hampton Inn, Holiday Inn Express, Courtyard). Single-day trips or local shuttles do not require driver lodging.

No, your Lowell charter bus quote covers the vehicle, driver, fuel, and standard insurance, but additional expenses such as tolls (e.g., Massachusetts Turnpike, Tobin Bridge), parking fees at venues (Tsongas Center, UMass Lowell, Xfinity Center), and any special permits are not included. These costs are the responsibility of the customer and should be paid directly during the trip. Our team can help estimate these expenses based on your itinerary.

Lowell offers several options for charter bus parking, including dedicated spaces at the Tsongas Center, LeLacheur Park, and larger UMass Lowell campus lots. Downtown groups can use the Edward J. Early Jr. Garage (250-space surface lot at 135 Middlesex St.), which accommodates oversize vehicles and is walkable to most downtown venues. Additional bus parking is available at the Ayotte Garage (next to City Hall) and select DCR lots near the National Historical Park. Always confirm availability and fees ahead of arrival; our staff can assist with arrangements.

Lowell’s public transit is managed by the Lowell Regional Transit Authority (LRTA), which operates fixed-route buses across the city and to nearby towns like Chelmsford, Dracut, and Billerica. While affordable, LRTA routes have limited schedules, fixed stops, and no direct service to many event venues, business parks, or rural destinations. Private charter buses offer door-to-door service on your custom schedule, with no transfers or missed connections. Every passenger gets a seat, baggage is handled smoothly, and onboard amenities like Wi-Fi and A/V make longer trips productive and comfortable. For groups traveling beyond the LRTA service area—such as to Boston, Worcester, or Manchester—the convenience and time savings of a private charter are unbeatable.
