No — Beverlycharterbuscompany.com is a comparison and referral website. You use it to compare vehicles and pricing from a network of independently owned transportation companies serving Beverly and the surrounding North Shore area. You fill out one form, you're taken to a national booking platform, you see what's available for your trip, and you book right there.
The transportation itself is carried out by independent companies operating in your area. Beverlycharterbuscompany.com makes finding them fast and easy.
When you search on your own, you're calling one company at a time, describing your trip over and over, and waiting on callbacks that don't always come. With Beverlycharterbuscompany.com, you fill out one form or make one call to 978-993-9970 and you're immediately looking at vehicles and pricing from a whole network of transportation companies serving Beverly — more options, different price points, and real competition for your booking. That's the time you get back, and that's the difference.
An independently owned transportation company serving Beverly. Once you fill out the quote form, you're taken to a national booking platform where you choose the vehicle that fits your trip — the size, the amenities, the price. What you're selecting there is a vehicle and a price, not a company off a list.
The transportation company confirmed to the booking is communicated to you afterward. The platform works with a network of operators serving the Beverly area so your request goes further than any single yard.
Booking a Charter Bus
Fill out the form on this page or call 978-993-9970 with your trip details. As soon as you submit, you're taken directly to a search results page on a national booking company's website — that platform partners with independently owned transportation companies serving Beverly and the surrounding area. Right there on their site you see vehicles, photos, and pricing for your trip, and you book the bus you want online in minutes.
What you're choosing on that page is a vehicle and a price, not a company.
Your pickup city, where you're going, how many people are riding, and how many hours you need the bus. That's enough to get started. The more detail you give — your stops in order, your start and end times, how much luggage the group is bringing, and any amenities that matter to the trip — the more accurate the quote comes back and the better the deal you're likely to find.
A Beverly pickup with a multi-stop North Shore itinerary should have all the stops listed so the hours come back right.
Right away — there's no waiting on a callback. The moment you submit the form you go straight to the search results page on the booking company's website and you're looking at pricing for your trip. No phone tag, no business-hours window.
If you'd rather walk through it with someone, call 978-993-9970 and a live agent will go through the trip with you and help you find the right vehicle and package.
The earlier the better on a popular date — and a larger group or a specific vehicle type books out faster than a standard coach on a quiet Tuesday. That said, because Beverlycharterbuscompany.com puts your request in front of a whole network of transportation companies serving Beverly rather than one operator with one yard, short-notice trips are often still workable. That's the real advantage of comparing a network instead of calling a single company and being told no.
If your date is coming up fast, submit the request or call 978-993-9970 anyway — you may be surprised what's available.
All of those can be requested. Hourly or as-directed keeps the vehicle with your group for a set block of time — great for a night out in Salem or a wedding shuttle loop between a hotel and a venue. A one-way transfer moves the group from Beverly to a destination and the trip ends there.
A round trip brings everyone back. A multi-stop itinerary runs a set route with several stops — a brewery crawl from Gentile Brewing in Beverly out to Ipswich Ale Brewery, for example. A multi-day booking covers a trip that runs across more than one day, like a charter to New York City or a ski weekend in Vermont.
Which format fits comes down to the trip itself. A multi-stop or overnight itinerary should be laid out in full when you submit the request so it comes back priced correctly.
Charter Bus Pricing
A charter bus costs $205–$385+ per hour on weekdays, $225–$410+ per hour on weekends, and $1,650–$2,950+ per day. Those are real planning ranges — but pricing is not one size fits all. The type of bus, the date, the distance, the number of stops, and how busy that date is on the North Shore all move the number.
The ranges give you a starting point, not your price. The fastest way to see what your specific trip costs is to fill out the form and see pricing for your actual Beverly departure in seconds — or call 978-993-9970, where going through the trip with someone can turn up better packages than you'd find on your own.
It depends on the trip, and all three are used. A short trip of a couple of hours — say, a shuttle between Beverly and a venue in Salem or Danvers — is usually priced hourly. A trip that runs long distance, roughly past the 100-to-200-mile mark or heading well out of the area, may carry a per-mile charge instead.
And a long day, generally around eight hours or more, often comes back as a day rate rather than stacked hours, simply because the vehicle is booked for so much of the day. Which structure applies to your trip is determined by the actual itinerary — submit the full trip details and the pricing comes back in the format that fits.
Six things move the price: the type and size of bus, how long it's booked for, the date and day of the week, the distance and route, the number of stops, and how busy that date is locally. On the North Shore, October is the single most demand-compressed stretch of the year — Salem Haunted Happenings pulls the whole regional market at once, and buses across Beverly, Salem, Danvers, and Peabody go fast. Prom weekends in late April and May, Endicott College commencement in mid-May, and summer weekends through August run close behind.
What you can actually do about it: Sunday through Thursday prices lower than Friday and Saturday, and daytime prices lower than those same evenings. Booking the bus size your group actually needs beats over-booking capacity. And grouping your riders into one or two pickup points in Beverly instead of five separate stops cuts the hours on the clock and the total on the quote.
Submit your trip or call 978-993-9970 to see what's available for your date.
About Charter Buses
A charter bus is a full-size passenger coach that a group hires for its own trip — its own route, its own schedule, no shared stops with strangers. It's built for moving a large group over a distance in one vehicle, and a full-size coach seats roughly 40 to 56 people. The group travels together from pickup to destination without the coordination headache of splitting into multiple cars or waiting on a fixed transit schedule.
On the outside, a full-size charter bus is a tall coach body with high windows running the full length of both sides and luggage bay doors along the bottom skirt. The exterior is usually finished in white, silver, black, or a solid color — some coaches are wrapped in an operator's own graphics, so the coach that shows up will not always look identical to a photo. Inside, seats run in pairs on each side of a center aisle, all forward-facing.
Fabric is cloth or leather depending on the make and model — a Prevost H3-45 tends toward premium leather seating, while a Van Hool CX45 or MCI J4500 may be cloth or a mix. Overhead parcel racks run the length of the cabin above both rows, and a restroom sits toward the rear. The interior is quiet, climate-controlled, and built for a long ride.
Some of the amenities available on charter buses include reclining cloth or leather seats, individual climate controls, an onboard restroom, overhead parcel racks and undercarriage baggage bays, WiFi, 110-volt power outlets and USB charging ports, a PA system with microphone, and flat-screen TV monitors. Availability may vary — features differ by make, model, and the specific vehicle confirmed during booking. If a particular amenity matters to your trip, note it with your request so the vehicles that come back are the ones equipped for it.
Generally 40 to 56 passengers, depending on the make and model — 56 is the most common configuration on a full-size coach. The MCI J4500 seats 56 as standard and is built for up to 60; the Van Hool CX45 is the same, 56 standard and up to 60; the Prevost H3-45 seats 56. Shorter 35-foot coaches seat closer to 44.
What changes the count on the same coach: extra legroom removes rows, and a wheelchair position takes out seats to accommodate the securement area. Because Beverlycharterbuscompany.com works with a network of transportation companies serving Beverly, the exact coach on any given trip depends on what's available for your date — submit your trip or call 978-993-9970 if your group needs a specific capacity confirmed.
A 56-passenger coach runs 14 rows, with two seats on each side of a center aisle — forward-facing, paired, one aisle down the middle. The row count drops on coaches built with extra legroom or a wheelchair securement position. Some coaches tier the front rows slightly higher for a better forward view.
That's the standard layout on a full-size coach.
A full-size charter bus is 45 feet long and 8.5 feet wide. To put that in terms you can measure against something: roughly three cars parked end to end. That's the number that matters when you're working out whether a coach fits a particular driveway, venue entrance, or parking area.
Shorter coaches exist — most commonly around 35 feet — and that's the standard full-size vehicle. If your venue has a tight approach, mention it with the request.
A full-size charter bus stands about 11 to 12 feet tall depending on the model, and traffic engineers design most overpasses and parking structures for 12 feet of clearance. A real-world comparison: a little taller than a single story of a house. That's the number to check against any covered drop-off, parking garage, or low bridge on the route.
If there's a clearance concern on the way to your Beverly venue, mention it when you submit the trip.
WiFi is one of the amenities available on charter buses, and many coaches on the road are equipped with it. Whether a given vehicle has it varies — onboard WiFi is equipment a coach is built with rather than something every coach carries. One thing worth setting the expectation on: onboard WiFi runs off a cellular connection and is built for light use across a full coach — phones, messaging, and browsing — not for 50 or 60 people doing heavy work at once.
If the group needs WiFi, note it with the trip details so the vehicles that come back are the ones that have it.
Yes — an onboard restroom is standard on full-size charter buses, located toward the rear of the coach. It's there so a group doesn't have to stop, and on a longer run — say, a Beverly-to-New York City charter or a ski trip up to Vermont — the trip is still usually planned with real rest stops along the way. If an onboard restroom matters to your trip, note it with the request so the right vehicle is matched to the group.
Yes — charter buses are built with 110-volt AC power outlets, and coaches are commonly fitted with them at or near every seat, some with a USB port built into the same outlet. This is an equipment option rather than something every coach carries, so it varies by vehicle. In practical terms, a group can keep phones and laptops charged across a long run — useful on a charter from Beverly down to Boston for a conference or out to New York City.
If the group needs power at every seat, note it with the trip details.
Yes — in two places. Overhead parcel racks run the length of the cabin inside the coach, and undercarriage baggage bays run underneath the coach along the bottom skirt. A full-size coach carries roughly 460 cubic feet of underfloor baggage space and around 100 cubic feet in the overhead racks.
Here's what that means for your group: across a full 56-passenger load, it works out to roughly 8 cubic feet per person underneath and under 2 cubic feet overhead — in practice, about one checked-size rolling bag per person below and one small carry-on above. That covers most trips comfortably. What changes it: a coach fitted with a wheelchair lift gives up some baggage bay space for the lift mechanism.
Bulky gear — instruments, sports equipment, event supplies, or ski bags — takes the space of several standard bags and should be flagged when you submit the request. State your luggage situation and any oversized items with the trip details so the right coach is matched to your group.

October is the single most compressed month on the North Shore. Salem Haunted Happenings runs throughout the entire month just three miles from Beverly, and the regional transportation market — Beverly, Salem, Danvers, Peabody, and beyond — gets taken fast. If your trip falls anywhere in October, book as early as you can.
Close behind: Beverly High School prom in late April or May, Endicott College commencement in mid-May, Beverly Homecoming in the fall, and Salem Heritage Days in August. Boston Marathon weekend (Patriots' Day, third Monday in April — April 20, 2026) tightens the whole Greater Boston and North Shore market. Red Sox home games at Fenway Park, Patriots home Sundays at Gillette Stadium, and Celtics and Bruins playoff runs at TD Garden all pull demand from Beverly throughout their seasons.
New Year's Eve, summer holiday weekends, and North Shore Music Theatre show nights round out the calendar.
On those dates the whole local market moves early. Book well ahead when you can — and if the date is coming up fast, submit the request anyway. The network is wider than any single operator's yard.
Planning Your Beverly, Massachusetts Charter Bus Trip
The network serves all airports groups realistically travel to from Beverly. Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) (1 Harborside Drive, East Boston, MA 02128) is the primary hub, approximately 30–35 miles from Beverly via Route 128 South to I-93 South — plan 40 to 60 minutes off-peak, and longer during the morning rush on Route 128 or when the Sumner and Callahan tunnels back up. Manchester-Boston Regional Airport (MHT) (1 Airport Road, Manchester, NH 03103) sits about 55 miles north, roughly 55 to 70 minutes via I-93 North.
Rhode Island T.F. Green International Airport (PVD) (2000 Post Road, Warwick, RI 02886) is approximately 90 miles south, 1.5 to 2 hours via I-95 South.
For any airport pickup, the coach meets the group outside the terminal at the spot that airport designates for buses and larger vehicles, following that airport's own ground transportation guidelines. Have everyone together with all luggage before calling the bus forward — that's what keeps the pickup clean and on time. Call 978-993-9970 or fill out the form to arrange your Beverly airport transfer.
The network serves every major venue groups travel to from Beverly. Fenway Park (4 Jersey Street, Boston, MA 02215), home of the Boston Red Sox, is approximately 30 miles southwest — 45 to 75 minutes via Route 128 South, longer on game days when Kenmore Square and Brookline Avenue back up. TD Garden (100 Legends Way, Boston, MA 02114), home of the Celtics and Bruins, is approximately 28 miles southwest, with bus drop-off on Causeway Street.
Gillette Stadium (1 Patriot Place, Foxborough, MA 02035), home of the Patriots and Revolution, is approximately 65 miles southwest — plan 75 to 100 minutes and budget extra time for post-game Route 1 traffic. North Shore Music Theatre (62 Dunham Road, Beverly, MA 01915) is right in Beverly itself, making it one of the easiest group drop-offs in the area.
Traffic patterns around all of these venues change significantly on event days. Build in extra time on the front end, and have a post-event meeting point agreed on before the group goes inside. Fill out the form or call 978-993-9970 to get a quote for your game-day charter.
The network serves conference centers and large event venues in Beverly and across Greater Boston. The Wylie Inn and Conference Center at Endicott College (295 Hale Street, Beverly, MA 01915) is right in Beverly. Danversport (161 Elliott Street, Danvers, MA 01923), a waterfront banquet and event venue, is approximately 6 miles north and a popular destination for corporate groups and private events from Beverly.
For larger conventions, Boston Convention and Exhibition Center (BCEC) (415 Summer Street, Boston, MA 02210) and Hynes Convention Center (900 Boylston Street, Boston, MA 02115) are both approximately 30 miles south, with designated bus loading and drop-off areas at each.
Large venues have designated bus loading zones separate from the main guest entrance — your bus uses those rather than the general traffic approach. A repeat shuttle between a Beverly hotel block and a Boston convention venue should have the full daily schedule laid out with the request so it comes back timed and priced correctly. Call 978-993-9970 to set it up.
Yes — any wedding venue in the area. Beverly and the surrounding North Shore have some of the most sought-after wedding properties in Massachusetts. The Estate at Moraine Farm (719 Cabot Street, Beverly, MA 01915) is right in the city.
The Wylie Inn and Conference Center sits on the Endicott College waterfront campus. A short drive out brings you to Kernwood Country Club (1 Kernwood Avenue, Salem, MA 01970), a golf and country club just across the Beverly line, Willowdale Estate (24 Asbury Street, Topsfield, MA 01983), a historic barn and estate about 10 miles northwest, Castle Hill on the Crane Estate (290 Argilla Road, Ipswich, MA 01938) about 13 miles north, Hammond Castle Museum (80 Hesperus Avenue, Gloucester, MA 01930) about 13 miles northeast, and Beauport Hotel Gloucester (55 Commercial Street, Gloucester, MA 01930) on the waterfront.
The most common setup is shuttling guests between a hotel block — often in Beverly or Salem — and the venue, in loops timed around the ceremony and reception. Give the exact venue address with your request and the right vehicle gets matched to the approach. Peak season runs May through October, with June and September the busiest months — book your Beverly wedding bus rental well ahead of those dates.
Call 978-993-9970 to get started.
The network serves every school and campus in Beverly and the surrounding area.

Three miles west in Salem, Far From the Tree Cider (86 Washington Street, Salem, MA 01970), Notch Brewing (283R Derby Street, Salem, MA 01970), and Salem Beer Works (278 Derby Street, Salem, MA 01970) make for a natural loop.

For casino trips, Plainridge Park Casino (301 Washington Street, Plainville, MA 02762) is approximately 70 miles south, about 80 to 90 minutes, and MGM Springfield (1 MGM Way, Springfield, MA 01103) is approximately 100 miles west.
A multi-stop brewery or winery route is timed by how long the group stays at each stop — list your stops and how long you plan at each one when you submit the request, and the hours and pricing come back correctly. Call 978-993-9970 to build the itinerary.
Yes — long-distance charters from Beverly are a regular part of what the network handles. Boston is 30 miles and 40 to 65 minutes south on Route 128. Portland, Maine is approximately 100 miles north, 1.5 to 2 hours via I-95.
New York City is approximately 230 miles, 4 to 5 hours via I-95 South. Cape Cod (Hyannis) is approximately 110 miles and 2 to 2.5 hours via Route 3 South. New Hampshire ski resorts — Loon Mountain, Cannon, Bretton Woods — run 110 to 160 miles north, 2 to 3 hours via I-93.

Foxwoods Resort Casino (350 Trolley Line Boulevard, Mashantucket, CT 06338) is approximately 145 miles, 2.5 to 3 hours via I-395 South.
A long-distance trip is usually booked as a one-way transfer or a multi-day trip rather than by the hour. An overnight or multi-day itinerary should be laid out in full — all stops, all dates, and the return plan — when you submit the request so it comes back priced correctly. Call 978-993-9970 or fill out the form to get your long-distance quote.
