Charter Bus, Minibus, Shuttle Bus Rentals in New York City

A charter bus is a large, passenger-carrying vehicle rented by groups for private transportation to and from specific destinations on a custom schedule. Unlike public transit or pre-scheduled intercity coaches, a charter bus operates entirely at the direction of the client, making it ideal for events like corporate outings, school trips, weddings, or sports team travel. Modern charter buses typically seat 40–56 passengers and offer amenities such as reclining seats, climate control, onboard restrooms, and Wi-Fi.

Charter Bus Company New York City offers one of the largest and most diverse fleets of buses in New York City, including full-size motorcoaches, minibuses, party buses, school buses, and specialty vehicles. Our fleet includes vehicles from top manufacturers like Van Hool, Prevost, MCI, Setra, Temsa, Grech Motors, Turtle Top, and Champion. We can accommodate groups of any size, with vehicles that seat anywhere from 18 to 56 passengers.

Most modern buses include reclining seats, individual reading lights, powerful HVAC systems, luggage bays, overhead parcel racks, and at least one flat-screen TV with DVD/Blu-ray. Standard amenities on larger vehicles (30+ seats) include free onboard Wi-Fi, 110V power outlets at every row, USB charging ports, Bluetooth-enabled sound systems, and PA microphones. Executive/luxury coaches add leather seating, wood-look flooring, LED accent lighting, conference tables, forward/rear-facing seating areas, and upgraded audio/video with multiple flat-screen monitors. Additional options include satellite TV, HDMI inputs for gaming consoles, wireless microphones, beverage coolers, card tables, and custom branding/wraps. Most full-size coaches (40+ seats) have a spacious restroom mid- or rear-coach.

Yes! Every bus has storage space in the overhead compartments and below in the undercarriage bays. For a standard 56-passenger coach, each person can expect to bring one bag underneath and one bag in the overhead compartment. Smaller minibuses (20–35 seats) have limited rear cargo space and overhead racks suitable for backpacks and briefcases. Full-size coaches (40–56 seats) offer up to 500 cubic feet of underfloor storage—enough for large suitcases, equipment cases, or bulky items—plus spacious overhead parcels racks inside the cabin. If you’re traveling with oversized items (musical instruments, sports gear, trade show displays), please let us know in advance so we can recommend a vehicle with adequate storage.

Several factors influence the cost of a charter bus rental in New York City: the type and size of the vehicle (larger or luxury coaches cost more), the distance and duration of the trip (local vs. multi-day out-of-town), the time of year (peak seasons like spring and fall are pricier), and any special amenities or requests (such as ADA accessibility or custom branding).
