Several factors influence the cost of renting a charter bus in West Hartford, including the number of passengers, type of vehicle selected, total mileage, number of days/hours required, and the exact itinerary. Additional expenses such as tolls on I-84, I-91 or the Charter Oak Bridge, parking fees at venues like the XL Center or Mark Twain House, and driver accommodations for multi-day trips may also apply.
