Several factors influence the price of your Pawtucket bus rental: travel dates, trip distance, number of days, and bus type/size. Peak season (April-June and September-December) is more expensive due to high demand from weddings, proms, and college events. Longer trips with more mileage cost more than local shuttles. Larger buses with premium amenities (WiFi, restrooms, leather seats) are pricier than basic models. One-way trips may require you to pay for the bus to return empty (“deadhead”), while multi-day rentals include hotel accommodations for the driver. Last-minute bookings are usually more expensive than reservations made 3-6 months in advance.

Pawtucket is very bus-friendly, with several convenient spots for parking and loading/unloading. For events at McCoy Stadium, use the main lot off Columbus Avenue—there’s plenty of space for oversized vehicles.

If you’re heading into Providence, popular drop-off points include Kennedy Plaza, the Rhode Island Convention Center, and Waterplace Park. For longer-term parking, consider the Park & Ride lots at Exit 27 (I-95) or contact the venue directly to arrange bus staging. Always check local regulations and permit requirements before your trip.
