How Much Does a Charter Bus Cost in Portland, ME?

We quote every Portland trip individually, so you only pay for what your group needs. Whether it is a transfer from the Old Port or a full-day excursion through Cumberland County, 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. Summer and fall weekends, wedding season (June–October) and big event days at Cross Insurance Arena 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.

Wedding Shuttles and Guest Transportation in Portland

Our experienced team plans multi-stop itineraries, ensuring out-of-town guests are picked up from Old Port hotels and delivered promptly to reception halls in the East End or nearby Cape Elizabeth. With a versatile fleet ranging from luxury Sprinter vans for the bridal party to spacious 55-passenger motor coaches, we accommodate weddings of every scale and style.

Employee Shuttles and Commuter Programs in Portland

Enhance your company’s efficiency with a dedicated employee shuttle program designed for the modern Portland workforce. As parking becomes increasingly limited near the Maine Medical Center and the bustling Financial District, a private commuter shuttle offers a competitive perk that boosts retention and punctuality.

We work with local businesses to design custom routes serving South Portland, Westbrook, and the Bayside neighborhood. Our professional drivers handle the heavy lifting of morning and evening traffic, allowing your team to relax or catch up on emails using onboard Wi-Fi, arriving at the office refreshed and focused.

Which Charter Vehicle Fits Your Portland Group?

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.
