We calculate each charter bus price based on the vehicle type, trip duration, mileage, time of year, and any special requests. Local NYC trips are often billed hourly with a minimum number of hours. Longer trips are priced by the day or by total mileage. Additional factors include tolls, parking fees, and whether the driver needs overnight accommodations. Peak seasons—spring and fall—may have higher rates due to increased demand.

Yes, we require a non-refundable deposit to secure your reservation. The deposit amount is typically 30% of the total trip cost but may vary depending on the size and type of vehicle. This deposit ensures that your bus is reserved for the date and time requested. The balance is due before the trip departs. We accept major credit cards, ACH transfers, and company checks for payment.

Final payment is due before the trip begins, typically 7 to 14 days prior to your departure date. You’ll receive a payment schedule when you book, and the balance must be paid in full before we dispatch the bus. For last-minute bookings made within two weeks of departure, full payment is required upfront. We accept credit cards, ACH transfers, and business checks.

Yes, driver gratuity is included in your quote—typically set at 10% of the base fare. However, if you feel your driver provided exceptional service, you’re welcome to offer an additional cash tip at the end of the trip. Most groups tip between 10% and 20% of the total charter cost. Gratuity can be added to your final invoice or given directly to the driver.

Yes, for multi-day trips or itineraries requiring an overnight stay, you are responsible for providing and covering the cost of the driver’s hotel accommodations. The hotel should offer parking for the bus and be rated at least two stars. Many hotels in New York City, such as those near JFK or LaGuardia, offer discounted rooms for drivers. Single-day trips do not require driver lodging.

No, your quote covers the bus, driver, fuel, and standard insurance, but tolls and parking fees are not included. Any bridge, tunnel, or highway tolls incurred during the trip—such as those on the George Washington Bridge, Lincoln Tunnel, or Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge—are your responsibility. Similarly, parking fees at venues like Madison Square Garden, Javits Center, or Yankee Stadium must be paid separately. These charges can be settled after the trip or billed directly to your account.

New York City has designated bus parking areas in all five boroughs. In Manhattan, you’ll find curbside parking along 11th Avenue, West 59th Street, and South Street near the Seaport. Midtown offers spots on West 41st and East 53rd. Downtown locations include Pearl Street and Water Street. There’s also parking at Pier 83, Battery Park, and the Javits Center. Always check posted signs, as some areas allow short-term loading only. For longer stays, use official NYC DOT bus maps or call ahead to reserve space at private lots near Yankee Stadium, Citi Field, or Barclays Center.

New York City offers extensive public transportation through the MTA subway and bus system, Long Island Rail Road, Metro-North Railroad, PATH trains, and NY Waterway ferries. While these options are convenient for individuals, they lack the flexibility and comfort needed for large groups traveling together. A private charter bus keeps everyone on the same schedule, provides direct door-to-door service, and offers amenities like Wi-Fi and reclining seats. It’s the best way to move groups efficiently between boroughs or to destinations outside the city.
