Charter bus pricing is based on several factors: the type and size of vehicle (minibus vs. full-size motorcoach), length and distance of the trip, time of year (peak vs. off-peak), and any additional amenities or special requests. Local Methuen trips may be billed hourly, while longer routes to Boston, Worcester, or out-of-state are calculated by mileage or as a daily/overnight package. Additional costs like tolls, parking, and driver lodging are typically not included in the base quote.

Yes, we require a non-refundable deposit to reserve your booking. The deposit amount is typically a percentage of the total rental cost and must be paid when you sign the contract. This ensures that your vehicle is reserved for your desired dates and won’t be booked by another party. The remaining balance is due before your trip departs.

The final payment for your charter bus rental is due before the start of your trip. Specific payment deadlines will be outlined in your contract, but generally, the balance must be paid in full several days to a week prior to departure. We accept various forms of payment, including credit card, ACH, and company checks.

Yes, driver gratuity is typically included in your charter bus quote as a standard percentage of the total cost. However, if you feel your driver provided exceptional service, you are welcome to offer an additional tip at the end of your trip. Extra tips can be given directly to the driver in cash.

Yes, for overnight or multi-day trips, the client is responsible for providing and covering the cost of the driver’s hotel accommodations. The hotel should be a national brand (e.g., Holiday Inn, Hampton Inn, Marriott) and located within a reasonable distance of the itinerary. Single-day trips do not require separate driver lodging.

No, your charter bus quote does not include external fees such as bridge/highway tolls, venue or city parking charges, or event-specific access fees. These costs are the responsibility of the client and must be paid directly during the trip. We’ll inform you of any anticipated tolls or parking expenses based on your route and destinations.

Charter bus parking in Methuen is available at larger public lots, school campuses, and venue-specific parking areas. For trips into Boston, buses can park at designated locations such as the Boston Common Garage, Cruiseport Boston, and selected MBTA lots. Always confirm parking availability with your destination ahead of time, as some venues require advance reservations or have specific bus zones.
