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

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

  • Vehicle size. A 14-passenger 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 weekends near Willard Beach, holiday shopping peaks around the Maine Mall 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.
