Here are just a few of the companies we’ve worked with:
Where to Park Your Boston Charter Bus Overnight
One of the best options for overnight charter bus parking in Boston is the Autoport. Run by the Port of Boston, this massive parking lot offers convenient access to Downtown, as well as a fueling station and a lounge for your bus driver. Buses may enter the Autoport’s parking lot between 10 am and 7 pm every day. You can even call the Autoport office ahead of your reservation to learn more about current tour bus parking fees and projected availability during your trip.

Loading and Unloading Your Boston Charter Bus
Besides knowing where to park a charter bus in Boston, it may be helpful to know where your passengers can step aboard and disembark your motorcoach as well. As you’re riding around town, you’ll see two different signs that say “Tour Bus Stop.” These will designate places where your Boston bus rental can either load and unload or temporarily park, depending on what the given sign dictates.
Most of these “Tour Bus Stop” signs will say “15 Minute Limit.” This means your ride can stay there for a maximum of 15 minutes to load and unload passengers.
Some of the “Tour Bus Stop” signs say “3 Hour Limit.” Here, your charter bus driver can park for up to 3 hours at a time—plenty of time for letting your group explore a museum or historical destination before loading up and hitting the road again.
Regardless of where you stop, Boston tour bus guidelines state all motorcoaches may only idle their engines for up to 5 minutes while parked. Your Boston charter bus rental may only stop at the designated “Tour Bus Stop” locations—they are prohibited from parking and loading at MBTA bus stops, commercial vehicle loading zones, and metered parking spots.
Parking a Bus at Popular Boston Destinations
More often than not, parking your charter bus at your favorite Boston destinations will require a trip to the Boston Autoport. That being said, some frequently visited attractions in the city offer designated parking areas for buses. Here are just a few:
Fenway Park Bus Parking
Bringing in your Red Sox fan group for a home game at Fenway Park? Your Boston sporting event bus rental can drop off your fans near Brookline Avenue (Storrow Drive is prohibited to oversized vehicles) and park in a pre-reserved spot in one of the ballpark’s motorcoach-friendly lots.

New England Aquarium Bus Parking
Whether you get here aboard a Boston field trip bus rental or a private sightseeing tour bus, the New England Aquarium asks large groups to drop off passengers in the designated staging zone near the entrance before parking at the nearby Boston Autoport.

Boston Marathon Bus Parking
Many running clubs consider booking a bus rental to the Boston Marathon to ease participants’ transitions on race day. Contact the Boston Athletic Association to request an application for their Club Bus Parking program as soon as possible to receive accurate parking information and to ensure availability. That way, your out-of-town running club can have adequate parking in Hopkinton and start the race on the right foot.

Museum of Fine Arts Bus Parking
This visitor-favorite museum offers limited bus parking on Museum Road, immediately outside the Schools and Groups Entrance in the Linde Family Wing. If your group visits on a busy day and the bus lot is full, have your bus driver look for a spot along the north side of Huntington Avenue, between Belvedere Street and Massachusetts Avenue—the city has designated this stretch of road for bus parking.

Harvard University Bus Parking
Planning a campus tour or attending an academic conference at Harvard? Ensure you reserve a visitor parking permit for your Cambridge bus rental at least 2 weeks before you arrive. From there your driver can wait in your assigned parking spot while your students, chaperones, and colleagues explore the campus.
