Most charter companies make you fill out a form just to learn a starting price. We’d rather you know what to expect before you reach out. Below are our actual 2026 rates for charter bus and minibus rental in NYC, Long Island, and New Jersey — how billing works, what’s included, and what a typical trip really costs.
Long days shouldn’t be priced by the hour. Once a booking runs past 10 hours garage-to-garage, it switches to our full-day rate: 10 hours of service with our travel time included, covering up to 12 hours garage-to-garage.
The same 10% gratuity and 5% fuel charge apply, and tolls are itemized at cost. Beyond 12 hours garage-to-garage, the hourly rate applies in 30-minute increments. The full-day rate is never more than the hourly math would have been.
Your quote covers the full duty cycle: the DOT pre-trip inspection, the drive from our Little Ferry garage to your first pickup, your trip itself, and the return. Not just the time passengers are on board — your booking reserves a dedicated bus and driver for the entire window.
That’s the honest answer to “why am I billed 8 hours for 6 hours of use?” Minimum booking is 5 hours per vehicle. Overtime bills in 30-minute increments, not full hours. Past 10 hours, the full-day rate above takes over.
Cost is driven by the total engagement window. A tight itinerary saves more than a smaller bus — though right-sizing matters: don’t book a 55-passenger coach when a Mini Coach fits up to 39.
NYC-area bridge and tunnel tolls are real money for a bus — we itemize them per route at cost on every quote, so you can compare vendors honestly. Trips entering Manhattan below 60th Street include the NYC congestion toll ($14.40 per entry), passed through at cost like any other toll.
Peak-season Saturdays (April–June, September–October) book out first. Booking early locks availability.
Four typical layouts at the rates above — what yours costs depends on the date, window, and route. Send the details and an exact number comes back the same day.
Some of the lowest prices you’ll see online are designed to win your booking, not to be your final bill — surprise fees and add-ons appear after you commit.
We do it differently: the rates above are published, every quote is itemized in full, and the quote you approve is the invoice you get. The same contact who prices your trip confirms the itinerary the night before and is reachable on the day.
Date, headcount, and stops — that’s all we need to price your trip.
