Charter Bus RentalinEllsworth, ME

Charter Bus Maine arranges private group transportation from Ellsworth and Hancock County, including Bar Harbor, Mount Desert Island, Bucksport and Hancock. We run our own vehicles and add vetted partner operators when your date or group size calls for it. Every vehicle has GPS tracking and Wi-Fi, and our drivers are background-checked.

Ellsworth groups most often call us for Acadia National Park and Mount Desert Island trips, the Autumn Gold Festival and downtown events, Woodlawn Museum and Birdsacre visits, Ellsworth High School teams and school trips, Bangor International Airport transfers, and trips to Boston. Tell us your date, pickup point and group size and we will reply with a quote as quickly as we can. Call +1 (207) 613-1516 or request a free quote.

Popular trips from Maine: Boston, Boston Logan Airport, Gillette Stadium, New York City and Six Flags New England. Overnight and multi-day trips are available. See also our motor coach, mini coach, Sprinter van and party bus rentals.

Choose from our luxurious motor coaches, spacious mini-coaches, versatile sprinter vans, or fun party buses. 

We quote every Ellsworth trip individually, so you only pay for what your group needs. The price depends on:

• Vehicle size. A Sprinter van and a 55-passenger motor coach are priced very differently.
• Trip length and distance. There is a 3-hour minimum rental, and tolls on non-airport routes are included in the fare.
• Date and season. The summer Acadia season, the Autumn Gold Festival in late September and wedding season book up first.
• Overnight stays. Multi-day trips are priced by the day.

To reserve a vehicle we take a 50% deposit in advance. Cancel with one month’s notice and you receive a full refund. For peak dates, ask for your quote as soon as the date is set.

Your Ellsworth wedding deserves a transportation plan as easy as a day on the Union River. We coordinate guest shuttles between hotels and inns in Ellsworth and Bar Harbor and barn and farm venues around Hancock County. Our drivers know the Route 1 and Route 3 approaches, so guests arrive on time.

From Sprinter vans for the bridal party to 55-passenger motor coaches for the full guest list, our fleet is well maintained for your special day. A dedicated shuttle eliminates the stress of limited rural parking and gives every guest a responsible ride.

Share your ceremony and reception addresses and arrival times, and we will plan the pickup loops around them. A 50% deposit holds your date.

Give your team a reliable, private commuter program designed for Ellsworth’s hospital and medical employers, retailers and the seasonal Acadia workforce. We design custom loops from Bangor, Bucksport and Hancock that pick up staff from central hubs and deliver them to your site, easing parking and summer Route 1 traffic.

By consolidating staff into a single climate-controlled motor coach, you reduce the number of cars on the road and offer your team a stress-reducing benefit. Our drivers know the commute on High Street and Route 1, and every vehicle has Wi-Fi.

Sprinter van (8, 12 or 14 passengers): executive travel, bridal parties and small teams.

Mini coach (24, 32 or 38 passengers): wedding guest shuttles, department trips and club outings.

Motor coach (55 passengers): school trips, large teams, ski clubs and full wedding parties. It is the only vehicle with an onboard restroom, which matters on longer drives.

Party bus (12, 21 or 30 passengers): celebrations and nights out.

If you are between sizes, tell us your headcount and route and we will recommend one.

Give your next corporate gathering a professional start with a transportation partner that knows Hancock County. Whether you are hosting a regional business forum or a company retreat in Ellsworth, our fleet gives your group a quiet, comfortable place to prepare. We offer GPS-tracked vehicles and transfers from Bangor International Airport (BGR), about 40 minutes away, or Portland Jetport to your meeting in Ellsworth.

Our motor coaches have comfortable seating, climate control and Wi-Fi, so your team can hold briefings or decompress between sessions. A local driver handles High Street and Route 1, and we coordinate multi-vehicle movements for larger events so every attendee arrives on time.

Get your athletes and supporters to the game together. We run trips for Ellsworth High School teams, the Eagles, and for local youth programs, with room in the undercarriage bays for team equipment and bags.

Keeping the team in one climate-controlled motor coach means players and coaches arrive together, and it saves the headache of fragmented parent carpools on long away trips. Tell us the venue, the departure time and your headcount and we will plan the trip around them.

Simplify your group’s airport trip with one vehicle instead of several rides. We run groups from Ellsworth to Bangor International Airport (BGR), about 40 minutes away, and to Portland Jetport and Boston Logan, with room for heavy luggage and outdoor gear.

We track flights in real time so a delay or early landing does not leave your group waiting. A two-way toll applies at Logan under airport rules; see our Boston Logan Airport page for details.

Our charter fleet is a comfortable, climate-controlled alternative to traditional school buses for Hancock County schools, ideal for trips to Birdsacre–Stanwood Wildlife Sanctuary, Branch Lake Public Forest, Indian Point and the Woodlawn Museum, or a day trip to Acadia National Park. Every driver in our network undergoes background checks to meet the highest standards for students, teachers and chaperones.

With comfortable seating and, on our 55-passenger motor coach, an onboard restroom, teachers can keep their lesson plans on track on the way to bird and habitat studies and local history sites. Our vehicles have GPS tracking, and we coordinate time-sensitive itineraries that maximize outdoor learning hours.

Ellsworth is the gateway to Acadia National Park and Mount Desert Island, about 30 minutes from Bar Harbor, so summer Route 1 traffic builds early. Closer to home, the Autumn Gold Festival fills downtown on the last weekend of September, Christmas in Ellsworth brings a tree lighting and parade of lights in November and December, and The Grand hosts live theater and film year-round. We run group shuttles so your party skips the parking hunt and arrives and leaves together.

Tell us the day, your pickup point and your headcount and we will plan the timing, with a driver waiting at a pre-arranged spot for the ride home.

Head for the mountains without the winter driving. We run safe, climate-controlled trips for ski clubs and family groups from Ellsworth to Sugarloaf and Hermon Mountain.

Our drivers are experienced on the winter roads to the mountains, and our fleet is maintained for winter driving. Each motor coach has secure undercarriage bays for skis, snowboards and bulky winter gear, so your whole group travels together. Skip the multi-car caravan on snowy roads and the hunt for base-lodge parking.
