Frequently Asked Questions About Coach Bus Rentals in Fall River

FAQS

Fall River Coach Bus Service offers one of the largest and most diverse fleets in Massachusetts, with vehicles for every group size and budget. You can rent a 15- to 35-passenger minibus from top builders like Grech Motors, Battisti Customs, Midwest Automotive Designs, LGE Coachworks, and Tiffany Coach Builders—perfect for shuttling wedding guests between venues in Tiverton or running corporate commuters to downtown Fall River offices. For larger groups, we have 40- to 56-passenger charter buses from MCI, Prevost, Van Hool, and Setra, each loaded with premium amenities ideal for school trips to Boston, sports team travel across New England, or multi-day tours along the South Coast. We also offer party buses (10-50 passengers), sprinter vans (10-15 passengers), and classic yellow school buses for budget-friendly local transportation. Whatever your itinerary calls for, we have a bus that fits!

The price of your bus rental depends on several factors: the size and type of vehicle, length of your trip, time of year, and any special requests. In general, you can expect to pay $145–$550+ per hour or $1,520–$5,000+ per day for a full-size charter bus, $150–$450+ per hour or $1,520–$3,465+ per day for a minibus, and $180–$520+ per hour for a party bus. Sprinter vans usually run $160–$450+ per hour. If you’re booking during peak season (April–June for proms and graduations, September–November for fall foliage tours), rates may be higher due to demand. The best way to get an accurate quote is to call our team at 774-520-2840 or use our online tool—we’ll ask about your headcount, itinerary, and must-have amenities, then give you a custom price in minutes.

Our fleet includes modern buses with a wide range of amenities to keep your group comfortable and entertained on the road. Standard features on most vehicles include reclining seats, climate control, overhead storage racks, and undercarriage luggage bays. Stay connected with free WiFi and power outlets at every seat, or relax with flat-screen TVs and DVD players for movie nights en route to Fenway Park or Gillette Stadium. Need to get some work done? Ask for a bus with USB charging ports, tray tables, and PA system for onboard meetings. Premium coaches offer restrooms, hardwood floors, leather upholstery, and even kitchenettes with microwaves and refrigerators. If you have specific requests—like ADA accessibility, extra luggage space for band equipment, or tinted windows for privacy—just let us know when you book.

We recommend booking your bus as early as possible—ideally 3 to 6 months before your trip—to get the best selection of vehicles and lock in the lowest rates. This is especially important if you’re traveling during busy seasons like spring (weddings, proms, graduations) or fall (leaf-peeping tours, college football games). Last-minute rentals are sometimes available, but your options may be limited and prices higher. If you’re planning a large event—like shuttling hundreds of guests to a waterfront wedding at Heritage State Park or organizing a multi-day conference at the Fall River Heritage Center—contact us as soon as you have your dates and headcount. We can always accommodate same-day and last-minute bookings too.

We provide transportation for every type of group and event across Fall River and the entire state of Massachusetts. Popular uses include wedding shuttles between churches and reception halls, corporate commuter routes to business parks in Taunton or New Bedford, school field trips to Battleship Cove or the Museum of Science in Boston, sports team travel for high school athletics or amateur leagues, concert and festival transportation to Xfinity Center or local waterfront stages, and private tours of Newport mansions or Cape Cod beaches. We also handle casino runs to Twin River, ski trips to Wachusett Mountain, college campus circulators for UMass Dartmouth, and cruise port transfers to Black Falcon Terminal. No matter where your group needs to go, we’ll get you there comfortably and on time.

Yes! We have a great selection of party buses in Fall River ranging from 10 to 50 passengers, perfect for bachelor/bachelorette parties, birthday celebrations, prom night transportation, or just a fun night out bar-hopping on South Main Street. Each party bus comes equipped with wraparound leather seating, color-changing LED lights, hardwood dance floors, built-in coolers for drinks, premium sound systems with Bluetooth connectivity, and multiple TV screens for music videos or slideshows. Larger models feature extra amenities like mirrored ceilings, laser light shows, and rear lounge areas. You can even BYOB and keep the party going between stops in Providence or downtown Boston.

Absolutely! We offer one-way bus rentals to destinations across Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, and beyond. Whether you’re flying out of Logan Airport and don’t need a return ride, moving a college group to a new campus, or sending wedding guests home after the reception, we can customize a package that fits your schedule. One-way pricing is based on distance and whether the bus needs to deadhead (return empty) to its home base. Popular routes include Fall River to Boston, Providence, Hartford, NYC, and Cape Cod.

Based on that information, we’ll send you a personalized quote in less than 30 seconds with pictures of available vehicles, pricing details, and a list of included amenities. If you like what you see, you can book instantly online or over the phone. All quotes are free and no obligation.

Charter bus parking in Fall River is generally available at large public lots, parks, and major attractions, but it’s always best to plan ahead. For visits to Battleship Cove, buses can drop off passengers near the entrance and park in designated oversized vehicle spaces within the Heritage State Park lot. Downtown, there are several municipal lots that may accommodate buses, such as those near South Main Street or the Fall River Justice Center, though availability can vary depending on the time of day and local events. If your group is attending an event at Durfee High School or another local venue, check with the facility in advance about bus parking arrangements. For longer-term parking or staging, Riverside Avenue and Davol Street have areas that can sometimes handle larger vehicles. Always confirm parking details with your destination or contact the City of Fall River’s Parking Authority for the most current information.

Your quote covers the use of the bus for the duration of your trip, all standard onboard amenities (WiFi, power outlets, A/V system, restroom if applicable), mileage, tolls, and taxes. There are no hidden fees or surprise charges—what you see is what you pay. Optional add-ons like extra coolers, PA system rental, or custom branding/wraps can be included for an additional cost. Gratuity is not required but always appreciated for exceptional service. If your itinerary involves overnight travel, you will be responsible for providing a hotel room for the driver at your destination.
