No — Bloomfieldcharterbuscompany.com is a comparison and referral website. In practical terms, that means you use it to compare vehicles and pricing from a network of independently owned bus companies serving Bloomfield and the surrounding area, rather than calling each one separately. The transportation itself is carried out by those independently owned companies. Bloomfieldcharterbuscompany.com makes it easy to find your options in one place; the operators in the network handle the actual trip.
When you search on your own, you call one company, get one quote, and move on to the next. With Bloomfieldcharterbuscompany.com, you fill out one form or make one call to 862-333-0060 and immediately see more options and different price points than any single operator can offer. You see vehicles and rates in seconds instead of waiting on callbacks, and because providers in the network are competing for the booking, you are in a better position than if you had reached out to just one company.
That is the whole point — your time saved, more choices, faster answer.
An independently owned transportation company serving Bloomfield. When you fill out a quote, you continue to a national booking platform where you choose the vehicle that suits the trip — the size, the amenities, the price. What you are selecting there is a vehicle and a package, not a company off a list.
The transportation company confirmed for your booking is communicated to you after the reservation is made. Every operator in the network is an independent motor carrier serving the Bloomfield area.
Booking a Charter Bus
Fill out the quote form on this page or call 862-333-0060, and you are taken directly to a search results page on a national booking company's website. That booking company partners with independent operators serving Bloomfield and the surrounding area, and their results page shows you available vehicles with pricing for your specific trip. What you are choosing there is a vehicle and a price.
Book the one that fits your group directly on their website — the whole thing takes minutes, no account required.
Your pickup city, where you are going, how many people are in the group, and how many hours you need the bus. That gets you a quote. The more detail you give — your stops, start and end times, how much luggage the group is bringing, and any amenities you need like WiFi or an onboard restroom — the more accurate the quote comes back and the better the deal you can find.
More detail up front means fewer surprises later.
Right away — there is no waiting on a callback. As soon as you submit the form, you go straight to the search results page and see quotes on the national booking company's website. You can review vehicles, compare pricing, and book without ever picking up the phone.
That said, if you would rather talk through the trip with someone, call 862-333-0060 and a live agent can walk you through your options.
The earlier the better for a popular date, and a larger group or a specific vehicle type benefits from booking further ahead. That said, because Bloomfieldcharterbuscompany.com puts your request in front of a whole network of providers serving the Bloomfield area rather than one operator with one yard, short-notice trips are often still workable — that is the real advantage of comparing a network instead of calling a single company and being told no. Submit the request or call 862-333-0060 even on short notice.
You may be surprised what is available.
All of those can be requested. Hourly or as-directed keeps the vehicle with your group for a set block of time, which works well for events where the schedule is flexible. A one-way transfer moves the group from one place to another.
A round trip brings everyone back. A multi-stop itinerary runs a set route with several stops along the way — a winery loop from Bloomfield out toward Pittstown and back, for example. A multi-day booking covers a trip that runs across more than one day, like a run down to Washington, D.C. or up to Boston.
Which format fits comes down to the trip itself. If your itinerary has multiple stops or runs overnight, lay the whole thing out when you submit the request so it comes back priced correctly.
Charter Bus Pricing
A charter bus costs $205–$385+ per hour on weekdays, $225–$410+ per hour on weekends, and $1,650–$2,950+ per day. Pricing is not one size fits all — there are different packages and a number of things that move a quote, so those ranges are a starting point rather than your price. The fastest way to see a number for your specific trip is to fill out the form online and see pricing in seconds.
Or call 862-333-0060 — going through the trip with someone can turn up better pricing and packages than you would find on your own.
It depends on the trip, and all three are used. A short trip of a couple of hours is usually priced hourly — an airport run from Bloomfield to Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) or a game-day shuttle to Prudential Center in Newark, for example. A trip that runs long distance — roughly past the 100 to 200 mile mark, or heading well out of the area toward Philadelphia or Washington, D.C. — may carry a per-mile charge instead.
And a long day, generally around eight hours or more, often comes back as a day rate rather than stacked hours, simply because the vehicle is booked for so much of the day. Submitting the actual trip details is what determines which structure applies to your booking.
The type and size of bus, how long it is booked for, the date and the day of the week, the distance and the route, the number of stops, and how busy that date is locally — all of those move the number. In the Bloomfield area, Giants and Jets home game weekends at MetLife Stadium, prom weekends across Essex County in April and May, and June through October wedding season push demand across the whole market at once.
Here is what you can actually do about it: Sunday through Thursday prices lower than Friday and Saturday, and daytime trips on those same days cost less than the evening equivalent. Booking the size the group actually needs beats over-booking capacity. And grouping riders into one or two pickup points along Bloomfield Avenue or near the I-280 corridor instead of five separate stops cuts the hours on the clock and the cost along with it.

About Charter Buses
A charter bus is a full-size passenger coach that a group hires for its own trip — its own route, its own schedule — rather than riding a fixed public route. It is built for moving a large group over a distance in one vehicle, and a standard full-size coach seats roughly 40 to 56 people. The group goes where it needs to go, on the timetable it sets, without sharing the ride with anyone outside the booking.
Outside, a charter bus is a full-size coach body — high windows running the full length of the vehicle, a smooth roofline, and luggage bay doors along the undercarriage on both sides. The exterior is usually finished in white, silver, black, or a solid color, though some coaches are wrapped in an operator's own graphics, so the coach that arrives will not always look identical to a photo. Common makes on the road include the MCI J4500, the Van Hool CX45, and the Prevost H3-45 — all full-size 45-foot coaches with the same basic profile.
Inside, seats run forward-facing in pairs on either side of a center aisle, upholstered in cloth or leather depending on the make and model. Overhead parcel racks run the full length of the cabin. Toward the rear sits an onboard restroom.
The cabin is tall enough to stand and walk the aisle comfortably, and the windows sit high enough to give every passenger a clear view. That is the standard layout — what changes from coach to coach is the seat fabric, the screen configuration, and the amenity package.
Some of the amenities available on charter buses include reclining cloth or leather seats, individual climate controls, onboard restrooms, overhead parcel racks and undercarriage baggage bays, WiFi, power outlets and USB charging ports, a PA system with wireless microphone, and flat-screen TV monitors. Availability may vary — features differ by make, model, and the specific vehicle assigned to a booking, and the exact amenities on any given coach are confirmed during the booking process. If there are specific amenities your group needs, note them with your trip details when you submit the quote so the results come back matched to what you are looking for.
Generally 40 to 56 passengers, depending on the make and model, with 56 the most common build on a full-size coach. The MCI J4500 seats 56 as standard and is built for up to 60. The Van Hool CX45 is the same — 56 standard, up to 60.
The Prevost H3-45 seats 56. Shorter 35-foot coaches seat closer to 44. What changes the count on the same coach is the configuration: extra legroom between rows or a wheelchair-accessible position each take seats out of the total.
Because Bloomfieldcharterbuscompany.com works with a network of providers, the exact coach on any given trip depends on what is available for your date. Submit the trip or call 862-333-0060 if the group needs a specific capacity confirmed.
A 56-passenger coach runs 14 rows, with two seats on each side of a center aisle — forward-facing, paired seating, one aisle down the middle. The row count drops on coaches built with extra legroom between rows or a wheelchair-accessible position, since both configurations take space from the standard layout. Some coaches also tier the front rows slightly, raising them a few inches for a clearer view over the seats ahead.
A full-size charter bus is 45 feet long and 8.5 feet wide. If you are trying to picture whether one fits somewhere — a venue entrance, a hotel loop, a parking area — think roughly three cars parked end to end. Shorter coaches exist, most commonly around 35 feet, and those turn up on trips where a venue or a route limits the vehicle size.
The 45-foot coach is the standard full-size vehicle you will see quoted most often.
A full-size charter bus stands about 11 to 12 feet tall depending on the model, and traffic engineers design most overpasses and parking structures for 12 feet of clearance. If you are checking whether a coach clears a garage entrance or a covered drop-off at a venue like Prudential Center in Newark, 12 feet is the number to measure against — a little taller than the first floor of a standard house. Low-clearance parking structures and covered hotel loops are the places where this matters most, so it is worth flagging with the booking if the pickup or drop-off has a height restriction.
WiFi is one of the amenities available on charter buses, and many coaches on the road are equipped with it. Whether a given vehicle has it varies — onboard WiFi is an equipment option a coach is built with rather than something every coach carries. It is worth setting the expectation honestly, because this is where groups sometimes get surprised: onboard WiFi runs off a cellular connection and is built for light use across a full coach — phones, messaging, browsing — not for fifty or sixty people doing heavy data work at once.
If the group needs WiFi, note it with the trip details when you submit the quote. That narrows the results to vehicles that are actually equipped for it.
Yes — an onboard restroom is standard on full-size charter buses, located toward the rear of the coach. It is there so a group does not have to stop, and on a longer run — say, the trip from Bloomfield down to Atlantic City or up to Boston — the trip is still usually planned with real rest stops along the way. The restroom handles what comes up between stops.
If an onboard restroom is important for your group, note it with the trip details when you submit the quote, since availability may vary by vehicle.
Yes — charter buses are built with 110-volt AC power outlets, and coaches are commonly fitted with them at every seat, some with a USB port built into the same outlet. This is an equipment option rather than something every coach carries, so it varies by vehicle. In practical terms, a group can keep phones and laptops charged across a long run — the trip from Bloomfield to Washington, D.C. is three and a half to four and a half hours each way, and outlets at every seat make that a lot more comfortable.
If the group needs power at every seat, note it with the trip details so the results come back matched to coaches that are actually equipped for it.
Yes — in two places. Overhead parcel racks run the full length of the cabin inside the coach, and undercarriage baggage bays run along the bottom of the coach on both sides, accessed through doors that open from outside. A full-size coach carries roughly 460 cubic feet of underfloor baggage space and around 100 cubic feet in the overhead racks.
What that means in practice: across a full 56-passenger load, it works out to roughly 8 cubic feet per person underneath and under 2 cubic feet overhead. In real terms, that is about one checked-size rolling bag per person in the undercarriage bays plus one small carry-on in the overhead racks above — which covers most group trips without issue.
What changes it: a coach fitted with a wheelchair lift gives up some baggage bay space to the lift mechanism. And bulky gear — instruments, sports equipment, event supplies, cases of product for a trade show at the Meadowlands Exposition Center — takes the space of several standard bags. If the group is bringing anything oversized or has more luggage than a standard bag each, state it with the trip details when you submit the quote so the right coach gets matched to the group.

Planning Your Bloomfield, New Jersey Charter Bus Trip
