Charter Bus Rental Hartford, Connecticut

A charter bus is a large, professionally operated motorcoach that is rented by a group for private transportation to and from destinations of their choice. Unlike scheduled public buses, a charter bus operates on a custom itinerary set by the client, making it ideal for group travel to events, tours, or multi-day trips. Modern charter buses are equipped with comfortable seating and amenities to accommodate medium to large groups traveling locally or long-distance.

Charter Bus Company Hartford offers one of the largest and most diverse fleets of buses in Hartford County, including Hartford, West Hartford, East Hartford, New Britain, and beyond. Our fleet includes full-size 56-passenger motorcoaches (Van Hool CX45, Prevost H3-45, MCI J4500, Setra S417), mid-size 28- to 35-passenger minibuses (Grech Motors GM33, Turtle Top VT3, Executive Coach Builders E450), and several 15- to 25-passenger minibuses (Ford E450, Grech GM28, Turtle Top Terra Transit). We also offer party buses (10–40 passengers),

sprinter vans (10–15 passengers), and several school buses (44–48 passengers) for local shuttles or budget-friendly trips. Many vehicles can be requested in black, white, silver, or custom wraps.

Most full-size Hartford charter buses (40–56 passengers) include reclining cloth or leatherette seats with headrests, footrests, individual reading lights, and tray tables; flat-screen monitors with DVD/Blu-ray players; powerful Wi-Fi (4G/5G) supporting 40+ devices; 110V and USB-A/C outlets at every row; PA system with wireless microphone; and large climate-controlled cabin. All have overhead parcel racks and undercarriage luggage bays. Restrooms are standard and feature hands-free fixtures. Optional amenities include seatback video screens, HDMI inputs for gaming consoles or laptops, Bluetooth audio, and custom branding.

Minibuses (15–35 passengers) offer forward-facing seats (some with recline), strong A/C, Wi-Fi, USB/110V outlets, PA system, and overhead storage. Larger models may have a flat-screen TV and DVD player; most do not have a restroom. Party buses (10–30 passengers) feature perimeter leather seating, hardwood floors, color-changing LED lighting, Bluetooth sound system, optional TV, and space for coolers. Sprinter vans (8–15 passengers) have comfortable high-back seats, strong A/C, Wi-Fi, USB outlets, and optional PA system.

Yes, our Hartford charter buses have ample luggage space for groups traveling with baggage or equipment. Full-size motorcoaches (up to 56 passengers) feature large undercarriage luggage bays that can hold one large suitcase per passenger, plus overhead parcel racks inside the cabin for carry-on items, backpacks, or smaller bags. The standard guideline is one full-size bag below and one carry-on above per person. Minibuses (15–35 passengers) have interior rear luggage areas and overhead racks, though space is more limited—typically one medium bag plus a carry-on per passenger. For trips requiring extra storage (sports gear, band equipment, bulky items), we can recommend a larger vehicle or multiple buses to ensure everything fits comfortably.
