Charter Bus, Minibus, Shuttle Bus Rentals in Jersey City

A charter bus is a large, full-sized motorcoach rented by a group for private transportation to and from specific destinations on a custom schedule. Unlike public transit or pre-sold tours, a charter bus operates entirely at the direction of the client, making it ideal for moving large groups to events, schools, corporate functions, or multi-day trips. Modern charter buses typically seat 40–56 passengers and include amenities like reclining seats, climate control, onboard restrooms, and entertainment systems.

Charter Bus Company Jersey City offers a full fleet of buses in Jersey City, Newark, and across Hudson County, including 15- to 35-passenger minibuses, 40- to 56-passenger full-size charter buses, and several specialty vehicles. Our most popular models include the Van Hool CX45, Prevost H3-45, MCI J4500, Setra S417, and Temsa TS30/TS35E—available in multiple exterior colors. We can also provide 18- to 28-passenger Grech Motors sprinter-style minibuses for smaller groups or short-distance shuttles. Many vehicles are available with optional ADA accessibility.

Most modern buses include reclining seats, individual reading lights, powerful HVAC, luggage bays, overhead parcel racks, and a PA system. Entertainment options typically feature multiple flat-screen monitors, DVD/Blu-ray players, and sound systems with Bluetooth or AUX inputs. Many coaches offer 4G/5G Wi-Fi and 110V/USB power outlets at every row. Larger models include a full-size restroom mid-cabin. Optional upgrades include leatherette upholstery, LED accent lighting, card tables, or custom branding.

Yes! Every full-size charter bus includes large undercarriage luggage bays that can hold one full-size suitcase per passenger—ideal for airport runs, sports equipment, or multi-day trips. Inside the cabin, overhead parcel racks run the length of both aisles and are sized for carry-on bags, backpacks, or briefcases. For most trips, each rider can bring one large bag below and one smaller item above. If your group has extra gear—like band instruments, trade show displays, or coolers—we’ll recommend a coach with maximum storage capacity or arrange a second vehicle to handle overflow baggage.

Several factors affect the cost of a charter bus rental in Jersey City: the type and size of vehicle (minibus vs. full-size coach), the length and duration of the trip, mileage, tolls (such as Holland Tunnel or NJ Turnpike fees), and any additional services like parking or driver lodging. Seasonal demand also plays a role—rates are higher during peak times like spring (for proms and weddings) and fall (for sports and school trips). Special events in NYC, Newark, or nearby arenas can impact availability and pricing.

It’s best to book your charter bus at least 2–3 months in advance, especially if your trip falls during the busy spring or fall seasons. Large events like NYC parades, concert festivals, or sports playoffs can quickly book up local fleets. For peak dates—such as June weddings, September school outings, or holiday shuttles—reserve 4–6 months ahead to ensure availability and get the best rates. Last-minute bookings are possible but may be more expensive and limited in vehicle selection.

Yes, we require a deposit to keep your reservation, with the balance due before the date of your trip. The deposit amount is typically 30% of the total fare but can vary depending on the size of the vehicle and how far in advance you’re booking. Full payment is usually required 14 to 30 days before departure. We accept major credit cards, ACH transfers, and business checks. Ask your reservation specialist for specific payment terms when you book.
