Fantastic experience with BusBank

The bus interior was much nicer than the one advertised in my trips itinerary. The seats were a comfortable leather, there were phone charging ports at ever seat and the bus had those nighttime party lights. The storage in back was more than enough room for my trips needs. But the bus Driver stole the show ! He was hilarious, with great energy. He even tried to negotiate a cheaper entry price with the events security for our group. Ofcourse this didn’t work but it gave my group a good laugh nonetheless. 5 stars all around for bus bank.

How much does a charter bus rental cost in Ottawa, Ontario?

Share your itinerary and needs with our team, and we’ll craft a free, no-obligation quote designed just for your group.

How soon do I need to book my charter bus rental in Ottawa?

To ensure availability and optimal pricing, it is recommended to book your charter bus at least 3-6 months in advance, especially if your event coincides with major events like the Canadian Tulip Festival or the Ottawa Bluesfest, holiday weekends, or peak seasons. Ottawa hosts many events throughout the year, including festivals, conferences, and cultural celebrations, and transportation options can book up quickly. Securing your bus early not only guarantees availability but also often gives you access to better pricing and a wider selection of vehicles.

Are coach buses and charter buses the same?

Coach buses and charter buses are not exactly the same, though they are used interchangeably. Charter buses are typically hired for special purposes like events or tours, while coach buses are more general-purpose vehicles designed for comfort and long-distance travel.

How many people can a charter bus accommodate?

Full-size charter buses typically accommodate 36 to 60 passengers, with the average capacity being around 50 to 60 people, depending on the size and model of the bus. Some double-decker buses can accommodate 81 passengers. For smaller groups, mini-coaches (minibuses) and sprinter vans offer better value.

Things to know when planning your trip to OTT

Ottawa offers a unique blend of history, culture, and natural beauty, but good planning is crucial for group trips. Popular attractions can get busy, especially during summer and special events. Consider booking accommodations and activities in advance to secure better rates and availability. While the city’s public transit agency, OC Transpo, maintains well-connected bus lines, it may not be the most convenient option for large groups. Consider hiring a reliable charter bus company for seamless travel between destinations. The city experiences distinct seasons, so pack accordingly. Balance your itinerary between iconic sights and local gems, allowing time to soak in the atmosphere. Include outdoor activities like cycling along the Rideau Canal or visiting Gatineau Park to make the most of Ottawa’s green spaces.
