Local planning
Planning group transportation in Providence
Where we collect you. Providence requests most often begin in Federal Hill, College Hill, Downtown and Wayland Square. Give us a street address or a named lot entrance rather than the neighborhood — drive time and where the bus can actually sit both hang on the exact curb.
Where we drop. Destinations named for Providence include Amica Mutual Pavilion, Providence Performing Arts Center (PPAC), WaterPlace Park, Lupo's Heartbreak Hotel and AS220. Tell us which one you are going to and we will sort the staging with them.
When the calendar tightens. Local calendars around WaterFire Providence, PVDFest, Rhode Island Comic Con and Providence Restaurant Weeks concentrate demand into a handful of weekends. Availability tightens around them, so get the date held rather than shopping it.
Routes we run often. Federal Hill Italian restaurant and bar crawl; WaterFire walking loop shuttle; PVD Airport to downtown hotels; Providence to Newport mansion tour (35 min). Send your version with every stop in order and an honest end time, and the quote will cover the whole block.
Airport groups. Providence trips connect to PVD. Send flight numbers and bag counts; the meeting point is the commercial-vehicle zone, not the passenger curb.
Beyond Providence. Trips that continue into Cranston, Warwick, Pawtucket or East Providence are quoted as one itinerary; see the Rhode Island guide.
Nights out and bar crawls in Providence

Vehicle fit
Which vehicle fits your Providence group
Pick by confirmed headcount, then by luggage and trip length. Your contract names the exact vehicle, its seating capacity and what is on board.

|---|---|---|---|
| 6–14 passengers | Stretch limo or Sprinter van | Tight downtown streets, valet-style arrivals, and shorter time blocks. | See limousines |
| 14–24 passengers | Mid-size party bus | The most-requested size on our own sites; standing room, sound, and a restroom-free footprint that fits most venue curbs. | See party buses |
| 24–40 passengers | Large party bus or mini coach | Wedding shuttles, corporate transfers, and big birthday groups that need everyone on one vehicle. | Compare large buses |
| 40+ passengers | Full-size coach bus | Luggage bays, restrooms, and highway comfort for long days, tournaments, and multi-city itineraries. | See coach buses |
