A charter bus is a privately rented vehicle designed to transport groups of people together to a common destination on a schedule set by the renter. Unlike public transportation or pre-sold tour buses, a charter bus operates entirely on-demand, following a custom itinerary with specific pickup, drop-off, and stop locations chosen by the client. These vehicles are commonly used for events such as corporate outings, school field trips, wedding guest shuttles, sports team travel, and multi-day group tours. They are valued for their comfort, efficiency in moving large groups, and amenities that support longer-distance travel.

Most full-size charter buses are 40 to 45 feet long, about 8.5 feet wide, and roughly 12 feet tall. They have a high-floor design with several steps up from the curb, large tinted side windows (often fixed, sometimes with vent openings), and smooth fiberglass or aluminum body panels that may be painted white, black, or a solid color. The front end is typically flat or slightly sloped with a wide windshield; the rear is squared off. Luggage bays run along both sides below the passenger deck, and there are one or two entry doors—usually a main front door and sometimes a rear emergency door.

Most full-size charter buses seat 50 to 56 passengers, but the exact number can vary by manufacturer and interior layout. Common capacities include 47, 50, 52, 54, and 55 seats. Smaller “mini” coaches may have anywhere from 18 to 35 seats. The seating capacity is fixed and includes all forward-facing passenger seats but does not count the driver’s seat. Some newer models offer 57- or 58-passenger configurations by slightly reducing seat pitch, while older coaches may have as few as 44–46 seats if they include additional amenities like a rear lounge or larger restroom.

Anyone who needs to move a large group of people can rent a charter bus! In Woodbridge, we often work with schools, businesses, couples getting married, sports teams, event planners, religious groups, senior organizations, and government agencies. Some people rent a bus for a single day or even just a few hours, while others need transportation for multi-day trips, multi-location events, or ongoing employee shuttles. If you’re not sure whether a charter bus is right for your group, our team can help you compare options and find the best solution.

Charter Bus Rental Woodbridge offers a full range of buses in Woodbridge, Edison, Perth Amboy, and beyond! Our fleet includes 18-, 20-, 25-, 28-, 30-, and 35-passenger minibuses; full-size 56-passenger charter buses; and several midsize options (36–40 seats) for groups that need something in between. Most minibuses seat 18 to 35 passengers, while full-size coaches hold up to 56. We also offer party buses (15–40 seats) and entertainer coaches (up to 12 bunks) for special events or touring groups. Available models include Van Hool, Prevost, MCI, Setra, Temsa, Grech, Turtle Top, and more—so you can always get the size and style that fits your trip.

A charter bus (also called a coach bus) is a large, comfortable vehicle designed to transport groups of people over short or long distances. A party bus is similar but has a more open interior with perimeter seating, colored lights, and space for standing or dancing—perfect for weddings, bachelor/bachelorette parties, or nights out. An entertainer bus (or sleeper coach) is built for touring musicians or performers and includes living space, bunk beds, a lounge area, and a kitchen. Minibuses are smaller than charter buses and are ideal for short trips or small groups.

Most modern charter buses in Woodbridge come standard with reclining cloth or leatherette seats, individual reading lights, overhead parcel racks, climate control, and a PA system. Additional amenities often include flat-screen video monitors (1–4 throughout the cabin), DVD/Blu-ray players, onboard Wi-Fi, 110V/USB power outlets at each row, and a full-size rear restroom. Larger coaches have substantial under-floor luggage bays, while smaller minibuses may offer only basic seating and limited carry-on storage. Premium models can feature leather upholstery, tray tables, and Bluetooth audio, but exact specs vary by bus size, age, and operator. ADA-accessible coaches with wheelchair lifts are available on request.

Yes, most newer charter buses offer onboard Wi-Fi either as a standard feature or optional add-on. The system connects via 4G/5G cellular data and supports basic web browsing, email, and social media. Bandwidth is limited—good for checking email or browsing, but not for streaming video or large downloads. Some operators include Wi-Fi in the base price; others charge extra. If reliable internet is important for your trip, request a bus with Wi-Fi when booking and ask about data limits or coverage gaps. Performance varies by carrier and route—urban areas get better signal than rural highways.

A full-size charter bus in Woodbridge has enough luggage space for each passenger to bring one large suitcase plus a small carry-on bag. Most large buses have undercarriage storage bays that can hold up to 50 or 56 pieces of luggage—about the same as you’d bring on an airline trip. There are also overhead racks inside the cabin for smaller items like backpacks, briefcases, or gym bags. Minibuses have less storage and may not have any under-floor bays, so luggage space is more limited. If your group has extra baggage, sports equipment, or large items, let us know when you book so we can recommend a vehicle with enough room.

Yes—Charter Bus Rental Woodbridge can provide ADA-accessible buses with wheelchair lifts, wider aisles, and accessible restrooms. Many newer full-size coaches are lift-equipped, but not every bus is accessible by default, so it’s important to request this when booking. The lift is located at the front or middle door and can accommodate most standard power and manual chairs. Tie-down spaces are available inside the cabin—usually 1–2 per coach. If you have specific accessibility needs (e.g., ramp vs. lift, restroom access), mention them when requesting a quote so we can assign a suitable vehicle.

Yes, you can wrap a charter bus for an additional fee. Full wraps, partial wraps, and custom graphics are available for corporate branding, sports teams, weddings, or special events. You’ll need to provide print-ready artwork several days before departure. Additional charges apply for installation and removal. Ask about wrap pricing and lead times when booking.

Yes, you can request a specific bus model or color, and we’ll do our best to accommodate your preference based on availability. Our fleet includes vehicles from top manufacturers like Van Hool, Prevost, MCI, Setra, Grech, and Turtle Top, so we can often match the exact model you want. Common color options include white, black, silver, or gray—perfect for weddings, corporate events, or team travel. If you need multiple buses to match, just let us know. While we can’t guarantee a specific model or color until the reservation is confirmed, we’ll make every effort to provide the bus that best fits your needs.

The cost to rent a charter bus in Woodbridge typically ranges from $1,200 to $3,500 per day, depending on the size of the bus, the length of the trip, and the time of year. Local rentals are usually billed by the hour (with a five-hour minimum), while longer trips are priced by the mile or by the day. For example, a one-day local rental might cost $1,200 to $1,800; a two-day trip to Washington, D.C., could run $4,000 to $5,000; and a multi-day out-of-state charter might be $6,000 or more. Minibuses are less expensive, while specialty vehicles (like party buses or entertainer coaches) cost more. Get an instant quote by calling our team at 848-999-8060.

Minibus rentals in Woodbridge generally cost $600 to $1,200 for a local, half-day trip (5–6 hours), $1,200 to $2,400 for a full day, and $4.00 to $5.50 per mile for longer out-of-town charters.

Several factors affect the cost of renting a charter bus in Woodbridge: the size and type of bus (minibuses are less expensive than full-size coaches); the distance and duration of the trip (local rentals are billed hourly, while longer trips are billed by the mile or day); the time of year (spring and fall are peak seasons); and any additional services or amenities requested (such as Wi-Fi, custom wraps, or tolls). Other factors include fuel prices, tolls, parking fees, and whether the trip requires overnight stays for the driver. Last-minute bookings may also be more expensive than reservations made well in advance.

Your quote includes the bus, driver, fuel, insurance, and all miles/hours requested. Tolls, parking, and driver lodging are extra. Tax and standard amenities (A/C, restroom, DVD, Wi-Fi) are included. Gratuity is optional but not included. Everything is itemized upfront.

It’s best to book your charter bus as early as possible—ideally 2–6 months before your trip. Spring and fall are peak seasons, so advance booking is critical. Large events (weddings, tournaments) should book 6–12 months out. Last-minute rentals are possible but subject to availability and higher rates.

Our largest coaches offer reclining seats, onboard restrooms, Wi-Fi, power outlets, and video screens for comfort on extended trips.

Yes—if your trip requires an overnight stay, you’ll need to provide hotel accommodations for the driver. The hotel should offer parking for the bus or be located near a suitable lot. Most groups book the driver’s room at the same hotel as the group, but a less expensive option nearby is also acceptable. For multi-day trips, federal law requires drivers to take a minimum number of hours off-duty each day. You do not need to cover the cost of meals, but providing a meal stipend or inviting the driver to group meals is appreciated. For longer trips, tolls and parking fees are billed separately.

Book early—especially for spring and fall events when buses sell out quickly. Provide a detailed itinerary with exact addresses and timing for each stop. Ask about parking options at your destination—many venues require advance permits or have designated bus zones. Budget for tolls, bridge fees, and driver gratuity (10–15% is standard). For longer trips, allow time for meal and restroom breaks. Confirm whether your bus has Wi-Fi, power outlets, and video screens. Communicate any special needs—such as ADA accessibility or extra luggage space—ahead of time. Finally, exchange contact numbers with your driver or dispatcher in case of delays or last-minute changes.
