Charter bus pricing in West Hartford depends on the season, trip length, bus size, and local demand. Peak times like spring school trips, college move-ins at UConn Hartford, and major events—such as the Greater Hartford St. Patrick’s Day Parade, Travelers Championship, or concerts at Xfinity Theatre—can raise rates due to high demand and limited availability. Multi-day trips, last-minute bookings, and special requests (e.g., multiple buses, custom wraps) also affect the final cost. Additional expenses include tolls on I-84/I-91, parking fees at venues like the XL Center or Dunkin’ Donuts Park, and driver lodging for overnight trips.
