Frequently Asked Questions about Boston Charter Bus Travel

What is Boston traffic like?

Boston’s narrow streets were not designed to accommodate the high traffic of today. Combined with rising population and construction delays, this makes congestion a daily reality. South on I-93 can be especially bad, particularly during rush hour. Fortunately, the city posts signage where charter buses can load and unload passengers and eventually park. Your National Charter Bus driver will follow these guidelines[1] [2]  while you and your group sit back in plush seats on the way to and from your destinations.

How far in advance should I book a charter bus?

The rule of thumb is—book early! As soon as you know how many people are in your group, your dates of travel, and your list of stops, you should reserve your National Charter Bus rental. We suggest booking no later than 3 months in advance, especially if you’re traveling in summer, on a weekend, or during major Boston events. This assures you will get the bus model and onboard amenities of your choice and the most attractive quote on your charter bus.

How qualified is my charter bus driver?

All National Charter Bus drivers have a Commercial Driver's License (CDL) with a Passenger (P) Endorsement. This means your fully certified driver possesses extra knowledge and skills tests for safely operating large passenger vehicles. Drivers also undergo tough background checks, which includes drug and alcohol testing.

Can we eat or drink onboard our charter bus rental?

You can absolutely eat and drink while riding in your Boston charter bus rental. However, some rules apply. For instance, you must use non-glass containers and maintain cleanliness to avoid a hefty clean-up fee, and follow restrictions on alcohol consumption for minors. Tell your National Charter bus reservation specialist if you plan to consume food or drink during your trip, so you will be informed of any applicable regulations.

What if I need to make a change to my reservation?

As soon as you know your changes, contact a reservation specialist. Adjustments to your itinerary are usually easy to make, but additional mileage or stops, and booking a larger or smaller bus, may incur additional charges. Once you are on the road, minor tweaks to your itinerary may be acceptable if your driver agrees. However, DOT rules must be followed—such as maximum behind-the-wheel hours—and there may be extra costs involved. We aim to satisfy all reasonable passenger requests. We’ve earned a great reputation because of it!

Top Ten Places to Go in Boston

A Boston travel itinerary can include many attractions to keep your group thrilled and on the go all day, all night. Our list of top ten destinations is a good start to planning your trip.

1. Fenway ParkFaneuil Hall Marketplace

Home to the Boston Red Sox, Fenway Park is hailed as one of the most famous ballparks in Major League Baseball. You don’t have to wait for game day to visit this historic site, as tours are available year-round. Either way, you’ll skip the driving hassles with a private charter bus rental driven by a professional who knows where to drop off your group at this famous stadium. At this time, your charter bus rental should follow Brookline Avenue to Fenway Park—near the intersection of Jersey Street—where local law enforcement typically directs traffic to the correct loading/unloading zones. On game days, you should contact the stadium in advance to verify traffic management. Parking is tight in the area, and height restrictions prohibit bus parking in many lots. However, the 50 Dalton lot (50 Dalton Street, Boston, MA 02115), about a 15-minute walk to Fenway, is height-friendly. Confirm with Propark to make sure.

Address: 4 Yawkey Way, Boston, MA 02215

Phone: (866) 800-1275

2. Boston Public Library

The Boston Public Library isn’t just for bibliophiles. In fact, you don’t need a library card to appreciate the Renaissance-style architecture of this impressive building. It’s listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and self-guided tours are encouraged. It is very popular for educational school field trips. A Dartmouth Street drop-off gives you direct access to the library entrance; however, you should contact the library in advance to verify proper drop-off and parking zone and to arrange a tour.

Address: 700 Boylston Street, Boston, MA 02116

3. Museum of Fine Arts, BostonFreedom Trail Paul Revere Statue

MFA Boston is one of the largest art museums in the world. With more than 500,000 works of art, there’s something to fit everyone’s taste. Your charter bus may use Museum Road near the Huntington Avenue entrance for access and drop-offs. After exploring the museum’s massive collection, re-board your comfortable charter bus and consider a meal stop at Cafe Sauvage (25 Massachusetts Ave, Boston, MA 02115) or any number of excellent restaurants before returning to your hotel.

Address: 465 Huntington Avenue, Boston MA 02115

Phone: (617) 267-9300

4. Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum

Stunning rooms of worldwide paintings, sculpture, tapestries, and decorative arts displayed in the ambience of a Venetian palace will satisfy any art lover at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. The picturesque courtyard and pristine grounds are part of its charms. Consider signing up for a one-hour tour devoted to your group’s particular interests. You’ll likely be dropped off in front of the Evans Way entrance. Designated bus parking is along the north side of Huntington Avenue between Belvedere Street and Massachusetts Avenue.

Address: 25 Evans Way, Boston, MA 02115

Phone: (617) 566-1401

5. Faneuil Hall Marketplace

Looking for prime shopping and dining during your Boston group trip? Check out Boston’s historic walkable shopping and meeting space, Faneuil Hall Marketplace. Rest your load of shopping bags in the spot where George Washington celebrated independence from Britain in 1789, and watch delightful street performances. You don’t have to carry your loot around all day—just store it all on board your bus rental. Your driver may drop off your group within a short walk of Quincy Market (206 S Market St, Boston, MA 02109), or at designated spots around Congress Street or State Street, and park nearby until picking you up at your scheduled time.

Address: 4 S Market Street, Boston, MA 02109

Phone: (617) 523-1300

6. Boston Symphony Halla lineup of violin players performing in an orchestra

Boston Symphony Hall was built in 1900. With its scientifically designed acoustics, it is recognized as one of the finest concert halls in the world. Grabbing group tickets to hear the famed Boston Symphony Orchestra is a treat. Curbside passenger loading and unloading is possible along busy Huntington Avenue or directly on Massachusetts Avenue for quick loading and unloading; however, you should notify BSO in advance to verify charter bus drop-off and pickup zones.

Address: 301 Massachusetts Avenue, Boston, MA 02115

Phone: (617) 266-1492

7. Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum

In this one-of-a-kind museum, history comes alive. You’ll experience a re-enactment of the famed 1773 Boston Tea Party protest, enjoy interactive exhibits, and climb onto a restored tea ship—fascinating for both kids and adults. Common drop-off points for charter buses exist curbside near 280 Congress Street and along Atlantic Avenue. The Hop-On Hop-Off Old Town Trolley stops at key Boston landmarks including the Boston Tea Party Museum, so you may consider combining its stops with your Boston rental bus tour itinerary.

Address: 1 Science Park, Boston, MA 02114

Phone: (617) 723-2500

8. The Freedom Trail

The Freedom Trail has 16 important historic sites for visitors to explore along 2.5 miles. Starting at Boston Common (139 Tremont Street
Boston, MA 02111), the oldest public park in the United States, you’ll visit the Paul Revere House and Old North Church and learn about the life of Paul Revere during the American Revolution. Don’t want to walk the entire Freedom Trail? Arrange for your charter bus to shuttle your group between historic sites.

Book a private minibus rental with National Charter Bus Boston and we'll serve as your built-in DD. Contact the brewery to confirm your drop-off zone; a short walk from Centre Street or another cross-street may be required, as large buses generally can’t unload at the main entrance.
