A charter bus is a large, privately rented vehicle designed to transport groups of people together to a specific destination or on a custom itinerary. Unlike public transportation or scheduled intercity buses, a charter bus operates entirely on the schedule and route set by the group that books it. These vehicles are commonly used for school trips, corporate events, sports team travel, weddings, airport transfers, and multi-day tours. Charter buses typically offer comfortable forward-facing seats, powerful climate control, and optional amenities like onboard restrooms, luggage bays, Wi-Fi, and video monitors. They are ideal for moving medium to large groups efficiently over short or long distances while keeping everyone together in a single vehicle.

A charter bus is a large, boxy vehicle typically 35 to 45 feet long with a high roofline and smooth, windowed sides. Most have a flat or slightly rounded front end, large tinted windows running the length of the cabin, and one or two entry doors on the right side—one at the front and sometimes another mid-bus. The lower portion of the bus often features several luggage bay doors integrated into the bodywork. The roof may have subtle air conditioning units or antenna housings but is generally flat. The rear of the bus is squared off with vertical taillights and sometimes a small window or engine access panel. The overall appearance is streamlined and professional, often finished in white, black, silver, or custom colors with minimal exterior trim.

Most full-size charter buses seat between 50 and 56 passengers, depending on the exact model and interior configuration. Common capacities include 50, 52, 54, and 56 seats. Some coaches can be configured with fewer seats (e.g., 47 or 48) to allow for extra legroom, rear lounge areas, or additional luggage space. Mini-coaches typically seat anywhere from 18 to 40 passengers. The seating is usually arranged in pairs on either side of a central aisle, with all seats facing forward. Larger coaches maximize passenger capacity while still providing comfortable spacing, making them ideal for moving big groups efficiently.

Anyone who needs to move a group of people from point A to point B can rent a charter bus! In New Brunswick, we commonly work with school groups planning field trips to the Rutgers Gardens or the Zimmerli Art Museum, corporate teams attending conferences at the Heldrich Hotel and Conference Center, wedding parties shuttling guests between ceremony and reception venues downtown, and sports fans traveling to games at SHI Stadium or Jersey Mike’s Arena. We also serve religious groups, senior citizen outings, theater and music groups, and families organizing large reunion events. If you have a group that needs to travel together comfortably and efficiently, a charter bus rental is the best way to do it.

Many models are available in multiple seating configurations to suit your exact headcount. We can also provide ADA-accessible vehicles with wheelchair lifts upon request. If you’re not sure which size is best, our team can help you choose the most efficient and cost-effective option based on your group size and trip details.

A charter bus (also called a coach bus) is a large, comfortable vehicle designed to transport groups of 30-56 passengers over short or long distances. It offers forward-facing seats, strong climate control, and optional amenities like WiFi, video monitors, and onboard restrooms. A party bus is built for celebrations on the move—it seats 15-40 people on perimeter “lounge” seating, with a sound system, LED lighting, and space to stand or dance, making it popular for weddings, bachelor/bachelorette parties, and nights out. An entertainer bus, or sleeper coach, is a custom vehicle used by bands, performers, or VIPs on tour. It sleeps 8-12 people in bunks, has a kitchen, lounge, bathroom with shower, and space for relaxing or working. These terms are sometimes used interchangeably, but “charter bus” typically refers to any private group rental, while “coach bus” means a full-size model, “party bus” is for on-board entertainment, and “entertainer bus” is a touring vehicle with bunks.

Most modern charter buses come standard with reclining cloth or leatherette seats, powerful air conditioning and heating, overhead parcel racks, reading lights, and DVD/video monitors with flat-screen displays. Additional amenities can include free onboard Wi-Fi, individual 110V power outlets or USB charging ports at each seat, a PA system with microphone, and a full-size restroom at the rear of the coach. Larger coaches offer spacious under-floor luggage bays for baggage or equipment. Optional upgrades include leather upholstery, tray tables, Bluetooth audio, and custom branding. On mini-coaches, you’ll get the same comfortable seating, strong climate control, and optional Wi-Fi and video screens—just without the restroom or large luggage bays.

Yes, most modern charter buses can be equipped with onboard WiFi. This amenity is available on many of the newer models and is often included by request at no additional charge. The WiFi system connects to cellular networks and allows passengers to browse the web, check email, and use social media during the trip. While the connection is suitable for general internet use, streaming video or downloading large files may be limited depending on the coverage area and data plan. If having WiFi is important for your group, be sure to request it when booking your bus so we can assign a vehicle with this feature. Our team will confirm availability and make sure you get a coach that meets your connectivity needs.

A full-size charter bus offers substantial luggage capacity, with up to 500 cubic feet of storage available. Most large coaches feature under-floor luggage bays that can hold one large suitcase per passenger, plus additional items like duffel bags or equipment cases. In addition to the exterior bays, there are overhead parcel racks inside the cabin for carry-on bags, backpacks, or smaller items. For trips requiring extra gear—such as sports equipment, musical instruments, or display materials—larger coaches provide ample space to accommodate everything. If your group has unusual or oversized items, just let us know in advance so we can recommend a vehicle that will fit your needs.

Yes, we can provide ADA-accessible buses with wheelchair lifts, wider aisles, and accessible restrooms. Just let us know your requirements when you call.

Yes, you can wrap a charter bus with custom graphics, branding, or advertising for your event or organization. Full vinyl wraps are popular for sports teams, corporate groups, and special events. Wraps must be professionally designed, printed, and installed using high-quality materials. You’ll need to coordinate with our team to schedule installation before your trip and removal afterward. Additional fees apply for wrapping and unwrapping the bus. The process typically takes several hours to a full day depending on coverage. Wraps should not cover windows needed for visibility or emergency exits. Contact us for specifications and pricing.

You can request a specific bus model, make, year, or color, and we’ll do our best to accommodate your preference based on availability. Popular requests include newer-model coaches from Van Hool, Prevost, MCI, or Setra, as well as vehicles in white, black, or custom colors. If you need multiple buses that match each other, just ask. While we can’t always guarantee a specific unit, we’ll prioritize your request and confirm the exact coach before your trip. If the first-choice model isn’t available, we’ll provide the closest equivalent. Let us know any preferences when booking, and we’ll make it happen.

Several factors influence the price of a charter bus rental in New Brunswick: the type and size of the vehicle (minibuses are less expensive than full-size coaches), the distance and duration of the trip (longer trips cost more), the time of year (spring and fall are peak seasons), and any additional amenities requested (such as WiFi or custom branding). Additional costs may include tolls, parking fees, and driver accommodations for overnight trips. The best way to get an accurate price is to call us at 848-388-1360 with your trip details so we can provide a personalized quote.

Your quote includes the bus rental, driver’s time, fuel, insurance, tolls, and dispatch support. It does not include parking fees, lodging for the driver (if needed), or gratuity.

It’s best to book your bus as early as possible—ideally 2–6 months in advance—to ensure availability and get the best rates. Spring and fall are peak seasons due to school trips, sports, and weddings, so those dates fill up quickly. For major events or busy weekends, book 6–12 months ahead if you can. Last-minute rentals are possible if we have availability, but selection may be limited and prices higher. Once you have your trip details (date, times, destination, group size), call us for a quote. Buses are not reserved until you sign the contract and pay the deposit. Early booking gives you the best choice of vehicles and peace of mind.

You can get an instant quote by calling our 24-hour reservations team at 848-388-1360 or by using the online quote tool on our website. Just provide your trip details—date, pickup location, destination, group size, and any special requests—and we’ll quickly give you a custom price. Most quotes are ready in 5–15 minutes. If you have a complex itinerary, need multiple buses, or require something specific, our team will work with you to get all the details right.

Yes, we offer flexible packages, including one-way trips (e.g., to Newark Airport or Manhattan), round trips (to and from the same location), and multi-day charters for events like out-of-town conferences, multi-game sports tournaments, or multi-day tours. You can set your own custom schedule with as many pickups, drop-offs, and stops as needed. Multi-day packages include the bus and driver for the duration, with the vehicle staying with your group between days. One-way trips are available to any destination, including airports, cruise ports, or out-of-state locations.

Yes, we can provide long-distance and even out-of-state charter bus rentals departing from New Brunswick. Common destinations include New York City, Philadelphia, Atlantic City, Boston, Washington D.C., and more.

Yes, if your trip requires an overnight stay, you will need to provide hotel accommodations for the driver. The hotel should offer safe parking for the bus and be rated at least two stars. Many groups book a room in the same hotel where they are staying to simplify logistics. If the driver’s room is not included in your package price, you will be responsible for covering this expense separately. For trips lasting several days or involving long distances, federal regulations require drivers to have adequate rest periods, making proper accommodations essential.

Book early, especially during peak seasons (spring and fall); have a clear itinerary with addresses and times; choose centralized pickup points with space for a bus to park and load (such as the Rutgers campus, downtown, or major hotels); communicate any special needs (ADA accessibility, extra luggage, or multiple stops); factor in tolls and parking fees at your destination; and stay in touch with your reservation specialist if plans change. Providing accurate headcounts and being flexible with pickup times can help ensure a smooth trip.
