Why Choose Lowell Charter Bus
Lowell Charter Bus keeps group travel simple, whether you’re heading to Tsongas Center or planning a campus tour at UMass Lowell. Our fleet covers everything from 15-passenger minibuses to 56-seat charter buses, so you always get the right fit. We know the local roads—like how traffic stacks up on Pawtucket Boulevard during events—and help you avoid the usual headaches. Call 607-878-0290 and let us handle the driving while you focus on your plans.
Lowell Group Transportation Services We Offer
Lowell Charter Bus covers everything from campus tours at UMass Lowell to wedding shuttles at Lenzi’s. You’ll get a local driver and the right bus size for your group, whether you’re moving 10 or 100 people.

Lowell Airport Transportation
Flying into Boston Logan International Airport (1 Harborside Drive, East Boston, MA 02128) means dealing with I-93 traffic and unpredictable curbside waits. Our charter buses and minibuses use the Central Parking Garage for quick group pickups, so you skip the rideshare shuffle. If you’re headed to Manchester-Boston Regional Airport (1 Airport Rd, Manchester, NH 03103), we stage at the Ground Transportation Center—no circling or split drop-offs. With a private bus, your whole group stays together and gets straight to Lowell without the usual airport headaches.

Lowell Concert Transportation
Concert transportation in Lowell is simple with Lowell Charter Bus. Whether it's a large-scale show at the Tsongas Center at UMass Lowell (300 Martin Luther King Jr Way, Lowell, MA 01852) or a local music festival downtown, we help groups bypass traffic bottlenecks and parking headaches. The Tsongas Center sits right on the VFW Highway (Route 110), a major city artery that sees heavy pre-show congestion, especially when attendees are trying to funnel into the venue's limited lots. Instead of fighting for a spot in the main garage or walking blocks in the winter, your group can be dropped off directly at the main entrance.
For festivals like the Lowell Folk Festival, your driver knows exactly how to navigate around the downtown road closures and can stage your bus outside the restricted zone, keeping your entire group together from start to finish. We coordinate precise drop-offs so no one has to walk blocks in the winter. From school groups in minibuses to large fan clubs in full-size coaches, every vehicle comes with a driver to handle the road while you focus on the music.

Lowell Corporate Shuttle Services
For corporate events at the UMass Lowell Inn & Conference Center (50 Warren St, Lowell, MA 01852), our Lowell charter bus rentals make sure your team arrives together and on time. This venue sits right on the Pawtucket Canal in downtown, where street parking for large vehicles is nearly impossible and garage clearance heights won't accommodate a motorcoach. Your driver can utilize the designated Dutton Street drop-off circle to unload passengers before staging nearby, removing the stress of navigating tight one-way streets like Merrimack and Market Street.
We also provide Lowell corporate transportation services for daily employee commutes to major employers like Lowell General Hospital and Kronos. Because traffic congestion on Route 3 and I-495 during rush hour can turn a 20-minute commute into an hour-long ordeal, a private shuttle equipped with WiFi and power outlets lets your staff stay productive even when traffic stalls. From North Billerica Station connections to custom campus shuttles, we help your company avoid the bottlenecks where Technology Drive meets Industrial Avenue.

Lowell Employee Shuttle Services
When you're managing employee transportation in Lowell, you're dealing with more than just a daily commute. The Lowell Connector-one of the most accident-prone stretches in the state-makes the 2.5-mile drive from Thorndike Street to Industrial Avenue unpredictable, especially during winter when black ice is common. Our corporate shuttle service ensures your team traveling from downtown Lowell to the UMass Lowell North Campus arrives safely and on time, bypassing the notorious bottlenecks at the Thorndike Street rotary.
Whether you need a 15-35 passenger minibus for a small team or a 40-56 passenger charter bus for a larger workforce, we provide reliable transportation that keeps your business moving, even when the Connector isn't. You can book with confidence knowing we've helped Fortune 500 companies, federal government agencies, and school districts across the Northeast move their teams safely through challenging routes.

Lowell Field Trip Transportation
Teachers and chaperones love how easy we make field trip transportation in Lowell. You can take your students to the Boott Cotton Mills Museum (115 John St, Lowell, MA 01852) or the New England Quilt Museum without worrying about headcounts or carpools. Because parking for oversized vehicles is prohibited at the museum lots, your driver will drop your class off right at the main entrance of the Boott Cotton Mills Museum and handle the off-site parking while you explore the exhibits. This keeps your itinerary on track and saves you from navigating the Dutton Street/Thorndike Street rotary nightmare during rush hour.
With reclining seats, WiFi, and TV monitors, students can watch documentaries or play games en route, while adults enjoy a smooth ride through the Lowell Connector. We handle every detail so you can focus on teaching, not traffic.

Lowell Government & Military Transportation
Lowell Charter Bus provides discreet, efficient transportation for government and military groups traveling to the UMass Lowell Inn & Conference Center for regional emergency management summits. When agencies need secure transfers between Lowell District Court and City Hall, we coordinate routes that avoid the Merrimack Street bottleneck and the Dutton/Thorndike Avenue intersection-keeping official business on schedule. Our GSA-compliant charter bus rentals include overhead parcel racks, WiFi, and power outlets, so officers and staff can review case files or stay connected en route.
For ROTC or Civil Air Patrol units heading to the Lowell Memorial Auditorium, drivers use the East Merrimack Street drop-off loop to bypass the downtown parking crunch. Because these logistics require precision, our dispatch team works directly with unit commanders to ensure arrivals align perfectly with rehearsal call times or multi-agency ceremonies.

Lowell Long-Distance Bus Rentals
When your group needs to travel beyond Lowell city limits, our long-distance transportation services are here to help. From campus tours at UMass Amherst (300 Massachusetts Ave, Amherst, MA 01003) to corporate retreats in the Berkshires, we'll get you there comfortably. Instead of worrying about navigating the I-495 junction near Lawrence or paying tolls on the Massachusetts Turnpike-which can cost $10-$15 per bus depending on your entry point-your driver will handle the entire route for you.
Every Lowell charter bus includes reclining seats, WiFi, power outlets, and onboard restrooms (available on select models), ensuring your passengers stay comfortable on even the longest trips. You can customize your rental with multiple stops, specific pickup times, and flexible scheduling to fit your exact itinerary. Whether you're planning a school trip to the New England Aquarium (1 Central Wharf, Boston, MA 02110)-where motorcoach parking is available on Northern Avenue near the Moakley Courthouse-or a family reunion in Cape Cod, you'll enjoy reliable service from start to finish.

Lowell Private Event Transportation
Groups hosting a private event at the Whistler House Museum of Art (243 Worthen St, Lowell, MA 01852) or the Tsongas Center at UMass Lowell can count on Lowell Charter Bus for their transportation needs. A private event charter bus makes sure your group travels together and on schedule, whether you're attending a family reunion, planning a birthday dinner, or organizing a campus tour. You can customize your trip with built-in storage, WiFi, power outlets, reclining seats, and even onboard restrooms for longer journeys.
Because Worthen Street is a one-way road with tight turns, it's not ideal for staging multiple cars. Instead, your driver can drop off your guests right at the front entrance of the Whistler House Museum of Art before finding nearby parking. Hosting a large event at the Tsongas Center? Your driver will coordinate directly with event staff to unload passengers at the main entrance so nobody has to walk across Dutton Street-which is super busy-or pay for rideshares that drop everyone off at different doors. It's the easiest way to keep your itinerary running smoothly!

Lowell Religious Group Transportation
Faith groups often use the Anne Dean Welcome Center entrance at the Tsongas Center at UMass Lowell for large-scale worship events or conferences. We coordinate convenient post-event pickups so your congregation isn't left searching for rides in the dark after a long day of praise. For smaller weekly gatherings, we handle pickups at hotels near the CrossPoint Towers business complex. This keeps Bible study groups and visiting ministry teams on a consistent schedule without anyone scrambling for last-minute transportation.

Lowell Sporting Event Transportation
Sports fans and athletes both rely on Lowell Charter Bus for game-day transportation because it's easier than coordinating carpools. If your group is heading to the Tsongas Center at UMass Lowell (300 Martin Luther King Jr Way), we'll make sure your driver navigates the busy intersection at Pawtucket Boulevard and Father Morissette Boulevard so you bypass the pre-game parking crunch. Your driver will drop your fan group off right at the East Entrance near the large roundabout-so your fans don't miss the puck drop during River Hawks hockey season.
We also provide reliable transportation for youth sports tournaments at Cawley Memorial Stadium (428 Douglas Rd, Lowell, MA 01852). Coaches love the overhead storage for equipment, while players can focus on pre-game rituals instead of traffic. When your team is playing a championship game at the Tsongas Center or competing at the Costello Athletic Center (275 Riverside St, Lowell, MA 01854), you get a dedicated driver who handles every detail-from staging to post-game pickup-so athletes arrive focused and fans stay together.

Lowell Wedding Transportation
If you're planning a wedding at the Whistler House Museum of Art, a Lowell charter bus rental keeps guests together for every pre-wedding event and reception. Because this venue is in the heart of downtown, your driver will drop off your guests right at the main entrance on Worthen Street, saving them from circling the one-way downtown grid. Then, your driver will handle parking by staging your bus in the designated area near the intersection of Merrimack Street and Cabot Street-completely avoiding the nightmare of trying to find multiple rideshare pickups after the reception.
When your guests are ready to head home, your driver will be waiting with a private ride back to their hotel. No need to worry about coordinating rideshares or navigating the one-way streets of downtown Lowell!

Lowell Winery and Brewery Transportation
Groups love the convenience of a Lowell charter bus for winery and brewery tours around the Merrimack Valley. Instead of worrying about designated drivers, your group can enjoy a visit to local favorites like Navigation Brewing Company (122 Western Ave, Lowell, MA 01851) or Ironstone Farm while a driver handles the road. Because parking is tight near downtown, especially around the Hamilton Canal District, arriving in a private shuttle means your group unloads right at the front entrance without circling for street parking. We coordinate pickups so your bachelor party, corporate outing, or friends' trip stays on schedule, allowing everyone to relax and enjoy the experience from the first pour to the last.

Call 607-878-0290 for a quick quote tailored to your trip.
What amenities are available on each of our bus types in Lowell, Massachusetts?
+Every Lowell charter bus comes with comfortable seating and climate control to keep your group cool in the summer and warm during those frigid Massachusetts winters. Minibuses are great for quick trips around campus or shuttling between UMass Lowell North Campus (885 Broadway St) and South Campus, offering overhead storage and WiFi to keep students connected. Full-size charter buses include WiFi, power outlets, onboard restrooms, and expanded luggage bays-ideal for long-distance travel or large groups heading to the Tsongas Center at UMass Lowell (300 Martin Luther King Jr Way). Sprinter vans offer easy boarding and are perfect for airport transfers or corporate meetings. If you need a party bus in Lowell, you'll get wraparound seating, colored lighting, and Bluetooth sound systems-perfect for bachelor parties or special events. You can even request ADA-accessible features like wheelchair lifts and widened aisles on most vehicles.
What types of vehicles do you offer in Lowell, Massachusetts?
+Lowell Charter Bus offers a wide range of vehicles to fit any group size or budget. You can choose from sprinter vans (seating 6-15), minibuses (seating 15-35), full-size motorcoaches (seating 40-56), party buses (seating 10-50), and sprinter vans (seating 8-14). Every vehicle comes with a driver and can be custom-selected for your specific trip needs. Whether you're moving a small corporate team through Downtown Crossing or shuttling hundreds of guests between UMass Lowell campuses, we'll make sure your group gets the right vehicle with the amenities and comfort you need.
What types of events & destinations do you frequently serve in Lowell, Massachusetts?
+Lowell Charter Bus provides reliable transportation for school field trips to the Tsongas Industrial History Center, campus tours at UMass Lowell, and Merrimack Repertory Theatre performances.

Sports travel is big here-we regularly transport hockey teams to the Tsongas Center (300 Martin Luther King Jr Way) and youth leagues to Cawley Stadium. During the Lowell Folk Festival, we help large groups navigate downtown road closures and the Dutton Street garage bottleneck.
Because we understand the local traffic patterns around the Lord Overpass and the Appleton Street rush-hour choke point, we help your group avoid frustrating delays.
How far in advance should I book my Lowell, Massachusetts bus rental?
+Generally, it's best to book your Lowell charter bus at least 1-2 months in advance. However, because the UMass Lowell River Hawks hockey season at the Tsongas Center (300 Martin Luther King Jr. Way) draws massive crowds and the Lowell Folk Festival in July can clog downtown streets for days, we recommend securing your bus rental 3-6 months ahead of major events. Planning around the February/March graduation crunch at local colleges and the spring wedding season means you won't have to fight for availability or pay last-minute rates. The earlier you call Lowell Charter Bus, the wider your selection and the more peace of mind you get-especially if your trip falls during a busy New England event weekend.
Popular Lowell Charter Bus Destinations
We regularly help groups get to Tsongas Center at UMass Lowell, LeLacheur Park, and the Lowell Memorial Auditorium. your drivers know the best drop-off points and parking options for each venue.

Tsongas Center at UMass Lowell
When your group is heading to the Tsongas Center at UMass Lowell-whether it's for a River Hawks hockey game, a major concert, or a regional sports tournament-the last thing you want is to get stuck in the gridlock on Father Morissette Blvd. This 6,000+ seat arena sits right on the Merrimack River, drawing massive crowds during NCAA hockey season (October through March) and for events like the Massachusetts Pirates. On game days, the main plaza drop-off on Martin Luther King Jr. Way is packed with rideshares and cars, while oversized vehicle parking is typically directed to the Ayotte Garage or university East Campus lots. By booking a private charter bus, your driver navigates the post-game traffic surge by staging near the Thorndike Street corridor, ensuring your fans stay together from the pre-game tailgate to the final buzzer.
300 Martin Luther King Jr. Way, Lowell, MA 01852
(978) 934-5738

Lowell Memorial Auditorium
For school groups, boxing fans, and tour attendees, the Lowell Memorial Auditorium is a logistical headache if you're trying to coordinate multiple vehicles downtown. This historic 2,800-seat venue hosts the New England Golden Gloves (January-March), Broadway tours, and major concerts, drawing thousands to the heart of the city. The East Merrimack Street pull-off lane is the primary unloading point, but there's no on-site parking for large vehicles. Instead of splitting up and searching for spots, your driver can stage the bus at the Davidson Street lot or Lower Locks Garage while your group enjoys the show. Post-event traffic bottlenecks at Bridge Street and VFW Highway are common, but your charter bus will be waiting to pick up your group without the stress of navigating those gridlocks yourself.
50 East Merrimack Street, Lowell, MA 01852
(978) 934-5750

Edward A. LeLacheur Park
Game-day transportation to Edward A. LeLacheur Park is simple when you bypass the congestion on Pawtucket Street and the Aiken Street Bridge. This 4,700-seat stadium is a staple for UMass Lowell baseball and regional tournaments, drawing crowds during the busy NCAA season (February-May). The main entrance on Aiken Street is the designated drop-off gate for charter buses, while oversized parking is available in the UMass Lowell East Campus surface lots nearby. Instead of coordinating separate rideshares or fighting for limited street parking, your group can roll in together, enjoy the riverfront views, and skip the post-game traffic jam entirely.
450 Aiken Street, Lowell, MA 01854
(978) 934-5760

Boarding House Park (Lowell Summer Music Series)
Navigating the narrow, one-way streets of downtown Lowell is a challenge for any driver, especially during the peak summer concert season. Boarding House Park, located within the Lowell National Historical Park, draws thousands for the Lowell Summer Music Series and the annual Lowell Folk Festival. French Street is notoriously tight, and the only safe drop-off point for large groups is at the intersection of French and John Streets. There is no on-site parking, so your driver will stage the bus at the Davidson Street lot while your group enjoys the show. This eliminates the need to circle the congested historic district-especially the Arcand Drive loop-after the concert.
40 French Street, Lowell, MA 01852
(978) 970-5200

Lowell Folk Festival
The Lowell Folk Festival is one of the largest free folk festivals in the country, drawing more than 150,000 people into the downtown core over three days. During the last weekend of July, most of downtown Lowell becomes pedestrian-only, making it impossible to drive directly to the main stages at JFK Plaza or Boarding House Park. The city designates remote group drop-off points at the Gallagher Transit Terminal and other peripheral lots. Instead of walking miles from distant garages or fighting for a rare rideshare, your charter bus drops your group off at a designated entry point and stages at a remote lot until the festival ends. This keeps your entire group together and eliminates the stress of navigating the "canal loop" closures around downtown.
Downtown Lowell (Multiple Stages including Boarding House Park and JFK Plaza), Lowell, MA 01852
(978) 970-5000

Winterfest
Winterfest transforms downtown Lowell into a packed pedestrian zone, with major road closures on Middle, Shattuck, and Palmer Streets. The intersection of Central and Merrimack Streets becomes a gridlocked nightmare for anyone trying to drive through the city center. The best way to move a large group to Winterfest is by charter bus: your driver will unload passengers near the Pollard Memorial Library on Merrimack Street and then park at the Ayotte Garage or Tsongas Center lots. Instead of splitting up into multiple cars or walking long distances in freezing temperatures, your group stays together and avoids the worst traffic bottlenecks in the downtown loop.
