Local planning
Where pickups start. Burlington requests most often begin in Downtown Burlington, Church Street Marketplace, Old North End and South End Arts District. Send the exact address, including which side of the street. That is what sets the drive time we quote you.
Where groups go. Destinations named for Burlington include Flynn Center for the Performing Arts, Higher Ground (South Burlington), Church Street Marketplace, Burlington Waterfront Park and ECHO Leahy Center for Lake Champlain. Each one loads differently. Ask the venue where a bus can wait, and agree a meeting corner in case the curb is taken when you come out.
Busy weekends. Local calendars around Burlington Discover Jazz Festival, Vermont Brewers Festival, Festival of Fools and First Night Burlington (NYE) concentrate demand into a handful of weekends. Availability tightens around them, so get the date held rather than shopping it.
Itineraries groups ask about. Church Street Marketplace bar crawl; South End brewery trail (Foam, Zero Gravity, Switchback); BTV Airport to downtown/ski resort hotels; Burlington to Stowe ski shuttle (40 min). Send your version with every stop in order and an honest end time, and the quote will cover the whole block.
Airport groups. Burlington trips connect to BTV. Provide flight numbers, terminal, bag counts, and one group contact; the driver meets at the commercial-vehicle zone, which is usually not the passenger curb.
Beyond Burlington. Trips that continue into Montpelier or Rutland are quoted as one itinerary. The Vermont guide covers statewide staging and long-distance planning.
Trips built around University of Vermont campus work best when the organizer names the exact building entrance and confirms current access rules with the school before the pickup time is set. Separate the student count from guests, allow real boarding time between scheduled activities, and for prom or graduation confirm the school's own transportation policy before booking.
Burlington to Shelburne Farms/Vineyard (15 min) and similar Burlington venues usually need a written run of show: getting-ready location, ceremony, photos, reception, and hotel return, each with its own passenger count. Photo sessions and receptions run long, so build the vehicle's time block around the latest realistic end, and decide which personal items stay on board between stops.
For a Burlington night out anchored on Zero Gravity Craft Brewery and Switchback Brewing Co., fix the stop order and the last pickup time before requesting a quote, and name one group contact for the driver. Curb space is not guaranteed at busy venues, so agree on a pickup corner a short walk away, and check each venue's group entry policy so a bus full of people is not turned away at the door.
Vehicle fit
Pick by confirmed headcount, then by luggage and trip length. Your contract names the exact vehicle, its seating capacity and what is on board.
| Group size | Usual fit | Why | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 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 |
How pricing is built—hours, mileage, day of week, season, stops—is explained on the pricing page. Every quote is trip-specific and all-inclusive.

Burlington does not yet have 25 company-owned-site requests with a usable city field, so we do not publish Burlington-only group size or lead-time figures. These nationwide numbers still apply to how groups size vehicles and when they request a quote.

Questions
Yes. We run trips in Burlington and right across Vermont with our own buses and our own chauffeurs. Booking is quick and it all happens by phone, live chat, or email, so you never have to drive anywhere to sort it out. Tell us the date, where you are starting, and where you are headed, and we will get you a price. The agreement is signed electronically once you are happy with it.
Every Burlington quote is priced for the specific trip: vehicle type, date and day of week, hours, mileage, group size, number of stops, and season all change the number. Quotes are all-inclusive—driver gratuity, taxes, fuel, and ordinary fees are in the written price; tolls and any specifically disclosed exceptions are listed separately. Ask for a written quote rather than relying on a range.
Party buses on the Bus 2 Ride fleet pages seat 8–45 passengers, limousines seat 8–22, shuttle and coach buses run 8–56. Pick the size above your confirmed count. Bags need somewhere to go, and for 8 to 14 a Sprinter is usually the easier fit.
Yes. Multi-stop itineraries are the most common request in Burlington—for example, Church Street Marketplace bar crawl or South End brewery trail (Foam, Zero Gravity, Switchback). List every stop in order with an expected wait time at each so the quote covers the full time block rather than a point-to-point estimate.
Yes. For BTV transfers, share flight numbers, terminal, passenger and bag counts, and one group contact. Airports assign commercial-vehicle pickup zones that differ from the passenger curb, so the driver will confirm the exact meeting point, and the quote should state how flight delays and wait time are handled.
Fall foliage (late Sept–mid Oct) is the sharpest demand spike; ski weekends (roughly Dec–Mar), Discover Jazz (June), and the Brewers Festival (July) fill the rest of the calendar. Across Bus 2 Ride's own sites, groups request quotes a median of 30 days ahead, but Friday and Saturday dates around major local events tighten first. For Burlington Discover Jazz Festival and Vermont Brewers Festival, request a quote as soon as the date is fixed—4–8 weeks out is comfortable, and wedding groups typically ask three months or more ahead.
No. Sending the form starts it. We check what we have free on your date, send a written price, and the bus is yours once you sign. Roughly half up front, the rest before the trip — your agreement spells out the exact terms for Burlington.
