The Hartford Fleet

With the serious stuff covered, here is what makes the ride memorable. Hartford โ€” New England's Rising Star โ€” groups choose from party buses (15โ€“50 passengers) loaded with sound systems, LED lighting, and onboard bars; limousines from intimate 6-passenger stretches to 20-passenger limo buses; and coach buses seating 25 to 56 for corporate, school, and long-haul trips.

Did You Know?

How can you avoid overtime charges?

Overtime charges are one of the biggest unexpected costs โ€” usually 1.5x your hourly rate billed in 15-minute increments. Build a 30-minute buffer into your rental time, set phone alarms for the final hour, and communicate your timeline clearly to the driver. A little planning saves a lot of money.

Did You Know?

How safe are coach buses compared to other vehicles?

Motorcoaches are statistically the safest form of highway travel, with a fatality rate of 0.11 per 100 million passenger miles โ€” compared to 0.89 for cars. Their heavy weight, low center of gravity, and professional drivers all contribute. You're about 8 times safer on a coach bus than in a passenger car.
