Enter your pickup location, date, group size, and trip details, and you'll land on a results page showing available vehicles, photos, and pricing from a network of transportation companies serving New Bedford.
Prices vary based on the bus type, your group size, the day of the week, the time of year, and how far you're traveling — but you'll see all of that laid out clearly before you commit to anything. A compact minibus for a short local run costs differently than a full-size charter bus heading up to Boston Logan for an early departure. Compare your options side by side and choose the bus that fits your group and your budget!

These trips start before you ever reach the terminal — and getting 20 people and their luggage to the airport without chaos is exactly what a New Bedford airport shuttle bus is built for! Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) is the primary hub for most South Coast travelers, roughly 60 miles north via I-93 and MA-3 — plan 70 to 90 minutes off-peak and up to two hours during the morning rush. A full-size charter bus with undercarriage luggage bays handles every bag without anyone checking a bag fee twice.
At Logan, gather your entire group and all luggage before calling for the bus — Massachusetts caps commercial vehicle idling at five minutes, so the bus stages nearby and pulls to the curb once everyone is ready. Charter bus pickup at Terminal A is outside Baggage Claims 1 and 2, past the green Passenger Pickup signs to the brown Charter Bus signage. Terminal B pickup is curbside between Passenger Pickup Zones 2 and 3.
Confirm your terminal on Massport's official Bus Locator before you fly.
Prefer a shorter drive? Rhode Island T.F. Green International Airport (PVD) in Warwick, RI sits just 35 miles southwest via I-195 W — roughly 40 to 55 minutes off-peak and a popular alternative for South Coast groups. Call 401-530-5680 to set up your airport run today!

Coordinating rides for a concert night across New Bedford — or heading up to a show in Boston or Providence — gets messy fast when your group is splitting into separate cars and chasing parking.

Heading to the Zeiterion Performing Arts Center (684 Purchase St, New Bedford, MA 02740) for a show? Buses drop off on Purchase Street curbside and relocate to the Elm Street Parking Garage (24 Elm St, New Bedford, MA 02740) — a two-minute walk — while you're inside. For bigger shows in Boston, Providence, or Worcester, a full-size charter bus or party bus with Bluetooth sound, LED lighting, and a built-in bar turns the ride into part of the night.
You set the playlist. You set the itinerary. And when the show ends, your bus is waiting — no surge pricing, no hunting for a rideshare in a crowd of thousands.

Planning a corporate event, a client visit, or a conference shuttle in New Bedford shouldn't mean turning your team into a caravan of rental cars on I-195.

Get a dedicated employee shuttle and turn the daily commute from a headache into a hands-free ride your team actually looks forward to! New Bedford's South Coast geography spreads workers across New Bedford, Dartmouth, Fairhaven, Fall River, and beyond — and coordinating that kind of multi-city workforce without a shuttle means parking costs, late arrivals, and exhausted employees before the workday even starts.

Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) is the primary hub for most South Coast travelers — roughly 60 miles north via I-93 and MA-3, about 70 to 90 minutes off-peak. Rhode Island T.F. Green International Airport (PVD) in Warwick, Rhode Island is a closer alternative at just 35 miles southwest via I-195 W, roughly 40 to 55 minutes off-peak. New Bedford Regional Airport (EWB) (386 Shawmut Ave, New Bedford, MA 02740) serves smaller regional flights via Cape Air.
For large groups with luggage, a charter bus to Logan or PVD is far simpler than splitting into multiple cars — and one vehicle handles every bag.
The single busiest weekend of the year for New Bedford bus rentals is the Feast of the Blessed Sacrament — the largest Portuguese feast in the world — held annually the first weekend of August at Madeira Field on Belleville Avenue. This event draws more than 100,000 attendees over four days and fills every available vehicle in the region. The New Bedford Folk Festival (held annually in July at Brooklawn Park) and prom season across South Coast school districts (April–May) are also extremely high-demand periods.
Book at least three to six months out for any of these dates — and even earlier for the Feast.
The New Bedford Whaling Museum sits on a narrow one-way street — buses approach from William Street and drop off on Johnny Cake Hill curbside. There is no on-site bus parking; after drop-off, the bus relocates to the Elm Street Parking Garage or nearby Union Street surface lots and returns for pickup. Groups of 10 or more receive discounted admission — advance reservations are required; call 401-530-5680 x141 before your visit.
Yes — a charter bus can transport your group from anywhere in the region to the New Bedford Ferry Terminal (1 Fisherman's Wharf, New Bedford, MA 02740), where Seastreak (1-800-262-8743) and New England Fast Ferry (508-997-1688) operate seasonal high-speed ferry service to Martha's Vineyard. Bus drop-off is on Fisherman's Wharf curbside; coordinate with the ferry operator in advance for large group staging. The bus can wait in the area or return for pickup when your ferry comes back.
Book your bus and your ferry tickets together as early as possible — summer Vineyard runs fill up quickly.
Yes! Buttonwood Park Zoo has oversized vehicle parking available in the main surface lot off Hawthorn Street, near the zoo entrance. No advance permit is required for standard day visits, but school groups and large organized groups should call ahead at 401-530-5680 to coordinate arrival timing and confirm current access details.
The zoo charges admission separately from the park, which is free. It's one of the most popular New Bedford field trip destinations, and a minibus or charter bus makes the logistics simple for teachers and chaperones.
Battleship Cove (5 Water St, Fall River, MA 02721) is just 16 miles from New Bedford — about 20 to 25 minutes via US-6 W or I-195 W — and it's one of the most popular day-trip destinations for New Bedford groups. Bus parking is available at the DCR Fall River Heritage State Park lot adjacent to the museum. Groups of 20 or more should call ahead at 401-530-5680 x0 to coordinate arrival.
A minibus or charter bus makes the short run simple and keeps everyone together for the home of the USS Massachusetts and USS Joseph P. Kennedy Jr.
For most New Bedford trips, booking three to six months in advance gives you the best vehicle selection and pricing. For the Feast of the Blessed Sacrament (the first weekend of August), the New Bedford Folk Festival (held in July), prom season (April–May), and summer ferry weekends to Martha's Vineyard, book six months or more in advance — these dates fill the entire regional market fast and waiting means higher rates and limited availability. For off-peak trips with flexible dates, two to four weeks of lead time is workable, but earlier is always better.
