Charter Bus Company Milford Reviews

Charter Bus Company Milford was great from start to finish! We used them for my sister’s bachelorette party in NYC and it was the best decision we made. The driver showed up early, helped us load all our stuff, and made sure we got everywhere comfortably. The bus was super clean, comfortable, and had plenty of room for everyone to relax and have fun. I would definitely use Charter Bus Company Milford again for any big event, thanks for making the night so easy!

We wish to thank your company and staff for helping make our wedding day perfect! The 28-passenger minibus was spotless, comfy, and exactly what we needed to shuttle guests from the church to the reception. Everyone loved it!

Just chartered a 20-passenger minibus for our company’s holiday party in Stamford, and it was the best decision we made! The bus arrived early, was spotless, and had plenty of room for everyone. Our driver, George, was friendly, professional, and navigated through rush hour traffic without any issues. The booking process was simple, and the team at Charter Bus Company Milford was always available to answer questions. We’ll definitely be using them again for future events!

Trips and Events in Milford a School Bus Is Great For

School buses are perfect for any event that requires moving a large group of people at the lowest possible cost. They’re commonly used for student transportation to places like the Connecticut Science Center, Discovery Museum, and Beardsley Zoo; athletic team shuttles to games at local high schools or colleges; and field trips to museums, parks, and historical sites. Businesses often use them for employee commuter routes, especially between train stations and office parks. Nonprofits and religious organizations book them for retreats, volunteer projects, and community outreach programs. They’re also great for shuttling wedding guests between venues, transporting runners to the starting line of charity races, or providing last-mile service from remote parking lots during festivals and concerts.

Frequently Asked Questions About our School Buses

Our fleet includes all the top brands in the industry: Blue Bird Vision, Blue Bird All American, Thomas Built Saf-T-Liner C2, Thomas Built Saf-T-Liner HDX, IC Bus CE Series, and IC Bus RE Series. These are some of the most popular and trusted school bus models on the road today, known for their durability, safety features, and ability to handle large groups of passengers. Each one is built to withstand years of heavy use while keeping everyone onboard comfortable. If you have a specific make or model preference, let us know—we’ll do our best to accommodate your request.

While traditional yellow is always available, we also offer school buses in black, white, silver, grey, blue, green, red, navy, and more. Custom wraps are available if you want to display your organization’s logo, team colors, or sponsor advertisements along the side of the bus. This is a popular option for sports teams, corporate shuttles, and special events that require a polished, professional appearance. Let us know what you need, and we’ll match you with a vehicle that fits your vision.

Standard amenities include vinyl-upholstered bench seats, non-slip flooring, powerful heating systems, LED interior lighting, and a PA system for communicating with passengers. There are no seat belts unless specifically requested, as most states do not require them on full-size school buses. Storage space is limited to under-seat areas and overhead shelves if equipped. Additional features like Wi-Fi, electrical outlets, or air conditioning can be added upon request but may increase the rental cost. The focus is on moving large groups efficiently rather than providing luxury accommodations.

School bus rentals in Milford typically cost between $145–$450+ per hour, $1,520–$3,655 per day, or $6.00–$9.95 per mile. The final price depends on several factors including the pickup location, destination, total mileage, and duration of the trip. Additional expenses such as tolls, parking fees at venues, and hotel accommodations for the driver on overnight trips are not included in the base rate and will be billed separately. Rates may be higher during peak seasons like spring break or around major events such as graduations and sports tournaments. To get an accurate quote tailored to your specific itinerary, please call our team or use the online quote tool.

Compared to other options in our fleet, school buses offer the highest seating capacity at the lowest price point but come with fewer amenities than minibuses or motorcoaches. They’re ideal for short trips and large groups who prioritize affordability over comfort features like reclining seats, climate control, or onboard entertainment systems. If your budget allows and you’re traveling longer distances, you might consider upgrading to a minibus or charter bus for additional amenities.

It’s best to reserve your school bus at least 3–6 months in advance, especially if your trip falls during a busy time of year such as spring break, back-to-school season, or around major events like graduations and sports tournaments. Availability can be limited during these peak periods, and booking early ensures you get the exact vehicle you want at the best possible rate. Last-minute reservations are possible but may result in higher prices or fewer options to choose from. Once you have your dates and itinerary finalized, contact us right away to lock in your reservation.
