Charter Bus & Coach Bus Rentals in Providence, Rhode Island

Charter Bus Company Providence has one of the largest and most diverse fleets in Providence, so we can match any group with the right vehicle. We offer full-size charter buses that seat 40–56 passengers from top manufacturers like MCI, Van Hool, and Prevost—these are ideal for long-distance trips to Boston, New York City, or Cape Cod, as well as large-scale events at venues like Amica Mutual Pavilion or Roger Williams Park Zoo. Our minibus lineup includes 15-, 20-, 25-, 28-, and 35-passenger models built by Grech Motors, Battisti Customs, Tiffany Coach Builders, and LGE Coachworks—perfect for airport transfers, corporate shuttles, or nights out in Federal Hill. We also have party buses that hold 10–50 people, sprinter vans for smaller groups, and even school buses for budget-friendly local transportation. Every bus comes with amenities like WiFi, power outlets, reclining seats, and climate control, plus optional features such as hardwood floors, LED lighting, and onboard restrooms.

The price of a Providence charter bus rental depends on several factors, including the size of the bus, the length of your trip, and the time of year. For example, a 56-passenger charter bus typically costs $145–$550 per hour or $1,520–$5,000 per day, while a 25-passenger minibus ranges from $150–$450 per hour or $1,520–$3,465 per day. Party buses and sprinter vans are priced similarly, with weekday rates slightly lower than weekends. You’ll usually pay more during peak season (April–June and September–December), for multi-day trips, or if you need extra amenities like leather seats or multiple TV monitors. The best way to get an accurate quote is to call our team with your exact itinerary—we’ll give you a custom price in minutes.

Several factors influence the cost of renting a bus in Providence: the type and size of vehicle, the distance and duration of your trip, the time of year, and any special requests. Larger buses with more amenities (like a 56-passenger MCI with restroom and WiFi) cost more than smaller minibuses or sprinter vans. Long-distance trips—such as a weekend excursion to Foxwoods Casino or a day trip to Newport Mansions—are priced by mileage or daily rate, while local shuttles may be billed hourly. Peak months (spring and fall) see higher demand and prices, especially around college graduations or festival season. Optional upgrades like hardwood floors, PA systems, or custom branding can also add to the total. To save money, book early, travel midweek, and choose the smallest bus that fits your group comfortably.

Our Providence fleet includes buses with every modern amenity you could want. Stay connected with free WiFi and USB/power outlets at each seat—great for checking email on an I-95 commute or streaming music on a trip to Narragansett Beach. Full-size coaches feature reclining seats, footrests, overhead parcel racks, undercarriage luggage bays, and onboard restrooms for maximum comfort on long rides. Minibuses offer similar perks in a smaller package, while party buses add LED lighting, wraparound seating, Bluetooth sound systems, and optional dance poles. Sprinter vans are perfect for quick hops around downtown or shuttle service between hotel blocks and conference centers. If you need something specific—like a PA system for guided tours, tables for playing cards, or extra coolers for tailgating at Gillette Stadium—just ask when you book.

We handle every kind of group transportation in Providence and across Rhode Island. Corporate clients use our buses for daily commuter shuttles, off-site meetings, and convention transfers to the Rhode Island Convention Center. Wedding parties love having a private ride between ceremony and reception venues—especially for waterfront photos at India Point Park or sunset cruises out of Newport. Schools and universities book us for field trips to the RISD Museum, campus tours at Brown or URI, and athletic team travel to away games. We’re also the go-to choice for concert trips to Xfinity Center, casino runs to Twin River or Mohegan Sun, brewery tours along the Rhode Island Brew Trail, and bachelor/bachelorette nights out in downtown Providence. No matter where you’re going, we’ll get your group there together and on time.

Getting a quote is fast, free, and requires zero commitment.

Providence is generally friendly to charter buses, but it’s important to plan your parking and loading zones in advance. Popular drop-off points include the Rhode Island Convention Center (use the Sabin Street entrance), Kennedy Plaza for downtown access, and Exchange Terrace near Waterplace Park. For events at Amica Mutual Pavilion or PPAC, coordinate with venue staff about designated bus lanes and staging areas. Long-term parking options are limited in the city center, but you can arrange to park at the Providence Place Mall garage (with prior approval), India Point Park lot, or along South Water Street for Waterfront District pickups. If you’re heading to Brown University or RISD, expect tight streets and limited curb space—have your bus load/unload quickly and then relocate to a less congested area. For trips outside Providence, many destinations like Newport Mansions, Twin River Casino, and Block Island Ferry terminals have dedicated bus parking lots. Always check local regulations and communicate your plan with both your driver and your destination to ensure smooth operations.
