Shuttle Bus Rentals in New Haven, Connecticut

The cost to rent a shuttle bus in New Haven typically ranges from $197–$519 per hour or $1,600–$3,800 per day, depending on the size of the vehicle, length of the trip, and other factors. You’ll get an exact price when you call our team with your itinerary.

Example #1: A biotech company in downtown New Haven needs to send 30 employees to a two-day training seminar at the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center. They book a 35-passenger shuttle bus to handle both the interstate trip and daily shuttles between their hotel and the venue. Their quote comes to $5,200 for the two-day rental. After adding a 15% tip for the driver, their final cost is $5,980.

Example #2: A high school baseball team from West Haven qualifies for a weekend tournament in Philadelphia. The team consists of 18 players, 3 coaches, and several bags of equipment, so they reserve a 20-seat minibus. The head coach receives a quote of $3,100 for the out-of-state trip and tips the driver 10% at the end. The total cost is $3,410.

Example #3: A wedding party is hosting their ceremony and reception at different venues—one at Lighthouse Point Park and the other at a banquet hall in North Haven. To keep guests on schedule, they book a 25-passenger minibus for continuous shuttling between locations over an eight-hour day. Their final price comes to $2,400.

Example #4: Yale University’s student government charters a 56-seat full-size bus for a day trip to Washington, D.C., to attend a rally. The one-day rental covers roughly 10 hours of service and is quoted at $3,800. With a standard 10% gratuity, the final bill is $4,180.

Shuttle bus pricing depends on the size of the bus, length of the trip, time of year, and how many days you’ll need the vehicle. Local demand around major events—like Yale move-in weekend, the New Haven Road Race, or graduations—can also impact availability and rates. Multi-day and long-distance trips may be billed by the mile instead of by the hour.

You should book your shuttle bus at least four to six weeks before your trip, especially if you’re traveling during a busy time like college move-in weekend, the New Haven Road Race, or spring wedding season. Buses can sell out quickly around major events, so the earlier you reserve, the better selection and pricing you’ll get.
