Major Charter Bus Manufacturers

Motor Coach Industries (MCI)

The MCI J4500 is one of America’s best-selling tour coaches and a staple in our Newton fleet. This 45-foot luxury coach seats up to 56 with generous luggage storage, reclining seats, individual climate control, onboard restroom, and advanced safety systems — ideal for moving large groups on long-haul trips. It’s a top pick for school field trips to the Museum of Science in Boston, airport transfers to Logan, and multi-day excursions. For smaller groups or tighter parking, the J3500 offers similar amenities in a more nimble 35-foot package. Going green? Our all-electric MCI J4500 CHARGE delivers zero-emissions travel with a 230-mile range, perfect for environmentally minded organizations running campus shuttles or local business events.

Prevost

Known for building Ground Force One, the presidential motorcoach, Prevost sets the standard for premium ground transportation. The Prevost H3-45 is a favorite for high-profile executive shuttles and VIP events, providing 56-passenger capacity, plush interiors, and the largest underfloor baggage hold in the industry. If you need maximum comfort and reliability for corporate outings to downtown Boston or luxury wedding transportation, this is the coach. The Prevost X3-45, with its lower profile and superior aerodynamics, is great for routes with height restrictions or longer distances where fuel efficiency matters.

Setra

Engineered in Germany, Setra coaches bring advanced safety and smooth performance to any itinerary. The Setra S 417, with its 55-seat capacity and Mercedes-Benz technology, features electronic stability control and emergency braking systems for peace of mind on busy highways. These coaches are often requested for upscale tours, international delegations, and discerning clients who want both comfort and cutting-edge engineering on trips from Newton to New York City or Cape Cod.

Van Hool

Van Hool coaches are known for their affordability and durability without sacrificing passenger experience. The 45-foot CX45 accommodates up to 56 with ample luggage space, making it a smart choice for school band trips, sporting events, and church retreats heading out of Newton. Its smaller sibling, the 35-foot CX35, is well-suited for navigating narrow streets in historic districts or serving as a hotel shuttle during conventions at the Boston Convention Center.

Minibus and Shuttle Bus Manufacturers

Grech Motors

For luxury in a smaller package, Grech Motors is the go-to brand. The GM40 and EG40 models seat 40–44 and feature leather seats, hardwood-style floors, panoramic windows, and powerful HVAC — perfect for wedding party shuttles between ceremony and reception venues in Waltham or Cambridge. The GM33, built on a Ford F600 chassis, offers 28–32 seats and is great for corporate off-site trips to Kendall Square or private tours along the Freedom Trail.

Blue Bird Corporation

Blue Bird is synonymous with safe, reliable school transportation. Their Vision line serves K-12 districts around Newton, offering diesel, propane, and electric options with seating for up to 83 students. These buses come equipped with modern safety features and are also available for summer camp shuttles, after-school programs, and youth sports teams.

Champion Bus Inc

Champion builds versatile mid-size buses on Ford and Chevy chassis, seating 12–29. The Challenger series is frequently used for hotel guest shuttles and senior center transport, while the Defender series, on heavier-duty frames, handles larger groups or those needing extra luggage space for airport runs or ski trips to New Hampshire.

ElDorado National

ElDorado specializes in accessible transit buses like the AeroTech, which seats up to 25 and offers low-floor entry for easy boarding. These are ideal for paratransit services, hospital patient shuttles, or community group outings where ADA compliance and rider comfort are priorities. They’re often deployed for municipal circulators in places like Newtonville and West Newton.

Turtle Top

Turtle Top’s Odyssey XL and Terra Transit models provide premium mid-size options, seating 41 and 42 respectively. Built on Freightliner or Ford chassis, they’re popular choices for university shuttles at Boston College, corporate commuter routes, and day trips for retirement communities thanks to their comfortable ride and flexible floor plans.
