Several factors influence the price of a charter bus rental in New Haven, including the type and size of vehicle (18-, 20-, 25-, or 56-passenger), the duration of the trip (hourly, daily, or multi-day), the total mileage, the time of year (peak vs. off-peak season), and any additional amenities requested. Local demand around major events like Yale Commencement, the New Haven Road Race, or the International Festival of Arts ∓ Ideas can also impact availability and pricing. Because so many variables affect the final cost, it’s important to provide detailed trip information to get an accurate quote.

You should book your New Haven bus rental at least four to six months in advance to secure the best availability and pricing, especially if your trip falls during peak demand periods such as April through June.
