Bus Rentals in Newark, New Jersey

A charter bus is a large motorcoach that you can rent for exclusive group transportation anywhere in Newark or New Jersey. Unlike public NJ Transit buses that follow fixed routes, a charter bus travels on your custom itinerary—picking up and dropping off only your passengers at the times and places you choose. You set the schedule, whether that’s shuttling wedding guests between Cathedral Basilica of the Sacred Heart and downtown hotels, getting sports fans to MetLife Stadium, or running a multi-day tour from Branch Brook Park to Liberty State Park. The bus stays with your group for the duration of the rental, providing private point-to-point service across Essex County, Manhattan, or wherever your plans take you.

We have one of the largest and most diverse fleets in Newark, with vehicles sized and equipped for any group or event. Options include 56-passenger charter buses from MCI, Prevost, and Van Hool—ideal for big movements like school field trips to the Newark Museum of Art or corporate outings to Prudential Center. Smaller groups can book minibuses and shuttles seating 15 to 35 from Grech Motors, Battisti Customs, Midwest Automotive Designs, LGE Coachworks, or Tiffany, perfect for airport transfers to EWR or daily employee commutes from Jersey City. We also offer Grech, Tiffany, Krystal, and Executive Coach Builders party buses (20–50 passengers) with lights and sound systems for nights out in Ironbound, plus Sprinter vans (10–15 seats) and even school buses for budget-friendly moves. Whatever your headcount or destination—from Rutgers-Newark to Cape May—we’ll match you with the right vehicle.

Charter bus pricing in Newark varies based on vehicle size, trip length, and time of year, but most quotes fall within these ranges: Full-size 56-passenger buses average $1,900–$4,200+ per day or $6.00–$9.95 per mile for long-distance runs (e.g., Broadway trips or Atlantic City casino charters); minibuses/shuttles seat 15–35 and cost $1,520–$3,465+ per day or $4.00–$9.95 per mile, great for short hops like Penn Station hotel loops or campus circulators; party buses are $1,000–$3,900+ daily depending on amenities; and Sprinter vans/school buses start around $1,000–$3,900 per day for basic local service. All quotes include driver pay and mileage, but tolls (like the NJ Turnpike), parking fees at venues (Prudential Center, MetLife), and optional gratuity are extra. Use our online tool for an instant estimate tailored to your exact headcount and itinerary—from Newark Airport pickups to Hoboken bar crawls.

The main things that determine your charter bus price are vehicle size (bigger buses cost more), total mileage or hours booked, and trip timing. Peak demand periods like spring school break, summer festivals at NJPAC, or fall college football season may see slightly higher rates due to limited availability. One-day round trips within Essex County (e.g., corporate shuttles from Downtown to University Heights) are cheaper than multi-day packages to Washington DC or Boston because you’re paying for continuous use. Adding extra amenities such as Wi-Fi for working commuters or onboard restrooms for long hauls can also impact the quote. Last-minute bookings sometimes cost more, so reserve early if you need exact dates during busy times like graduations at Rutgers-Newark or major concerts at Prudential Center.

Booking a bus with us is simple and fast—just call our 24/7 reservations team at 862-333-0060 or fill out the online form with your trip details. We’ll ask for your travel dates, pickup/drop-off addresses (like Newark Liberty International Airport terminals or Broad Street Station), group size, and any special requests (ADA accessibility, luggage storage for cruise transfers). Within minutes, you’ll receive a customized quote showing pictures and specs of available vehicles matching your needs. Compare options side by side—such as a 28-seat Grech minibus vs. a 40-foot MCI coach—then choose what fits best. Once you approve the quote, we’ll send a contract to e-sign and lock in your reservation. Our team handles everything from dispatching the bus on game day to tracking flights for EWR arrivals, so you can focus on your event.

Our fleet offers the most modern amenities available, including free Wi-Fi (for checking email on I-78), power outlets/USB ports at every seat (so devices stay charged from Penn Station to Port Authority), overhead TV monitors with DVD players (great for movie marathons on band trips), individual reading lights, reclining seats with extra legroom, and climate control powerful enough for July heatwaves or January cold snaps. Most full-size coaches have onboard restrooms—essential for non-stop journeys down the Garden State Parkway—and huge undercarriage bays for storing suitcases, instrument cases, or sports gear. Minibuses feature high-backed cloth or leatherette seats, PA systems for tour guides narrating through Military Park, and compact layouts easy to maneuver through downtown streets. Party buses come loaded with LED lighting, Bluetooth sound systems, dance floors, and coolers for refreshments during bachelor/bachelorette outings in Ironbound. If you need something specific—like bike racks for outdoor excursions to South Mountain Reservation or wheelchair lifts—just ask when booking.

We provide transportation for every type of group and event across Newark and beyond. Schools rely on us for comfortable field trips to the Newark Museum of Art, Turtle Back Zoo, or Liberty Science Center, while universities like NJIT and Rutgers charter buses for campus shuttles, athletic tournaments, and study abroad departures from EWR. Corporations book daily commuter routes from suburban park-and-rides, executive sprinter vans for client meetings in Manhattan, and large-scale conference shuttles to the Prudential Center or Harborside Jersey City. Wedding planners love our punctual guest transfers between ceremony sites and reception venues—from historic churches on Broad Street to waterfront ballrooms in Kearny. Sports fans and amateur teams ride together to Yankees, Giants, Devils games or out-of-town playoffs with all their coolers and banners stored below. Religious congregations, summer camps, government agencies, political rallies, concert promoters, and sightseeing tour operators—all trust us to move their people efficiently and affordably. Even private families use minibuses for reunions at Branch Brook Park or cruise port rides to Bayonne.
