Charter Bus & Minibus Rentals in Garden City, New York

A charter bus is a private, pre-arranged motorcoach rented by a group to provide customized transportation on a schedule and route of their choosing. Unlike public transit or fixed-route services, a charter bus operates exclusively for the client’s party—whether that’s a school, company, sports team, or social group—making it ideal for events, trips, or shuttles requiring cohesive, point-to-point travel. Modern charter buses typically seat 20–56 passengers and offer amenities such as reclining seats, climate control, onboard restrooms, Wi-Fi, and luggage storage.

Charter Bus Company Garden City offers a wide range of buses in Garden City and across Nassau County, including full-size 56-passenger motorcoaches, mid-size 35 to 40-passenger buses, and several sizes of minibuses (15, 18, 20, 25, 28, and 30 seats). We can also provide party buses (10–40 passengers), entertainer coaches (sleeping bunks for 6–12), and ADA-accessible vehicles. Our fleet includes the most popular models from Van Hool, Prevost, MCI, Setra, Temsa, Grech, Turtle Top, and more—so you always get a vehicle that fits your group size and budget.

Most full-size charter buses include reclining seats, individual reading lights, climate control, overhead parcel racks, undercarriage luggage bays, PA system, 110V/USB power outlets, flat-screen video monitors, DVD/Blu-ray player, Wi-Fi, and a rear restroom. Larger coaches may have up to five video screens and advanced sound systems. Minibuses typically offer forward-facing seats, A/C, luggage space, and optional Wi-Fi or USB ports. Premium models can add leather upholstery, tray tables, and custom lighting. Specific amenities vary by vehicle—just ask your reservation specialist what’s available.

Yes, all full-size charter buses and most larger minibuses have ample luggage space. Full-size coaches offer both overhead parcel racks inside the cabin and large undercarriage luggage bays beneath the floor. The standard guideline is one large suitcase (up to 50 lbs) per person in the baggage bay plus one carry-on or backpack in the overhead compartment—similar to airline baggage allowances. For trips requiring extra gear (sports equipment, band instruments, trade show materials), multiple bays can be used. Smaller minibuses have limited rear cargo areas but no under-floor storage.

Several factors can affect the cost of your charter bus rental, including the size and type of bus, the length and duration of the trip, the time of year, and any additional amenities or special requests. Peak travel times, such as holidays and weekends, may also result in higher prices. Local events like Islanders games at UBS Arena, Hofstra graduations, or Belmont Stakes race days can increase demand and rates.

It’s best to book your charter bus as early as possible—ideally 3 to 6 months in advance—to ensure availability and get the best rates. Spring and fall are peak seasons due to school trips, weddings, and sports events, so advance booking is especially important then. For major events or busy weekends (Islanders games, Hofstra events), 6–12 months is recommended. Last-minute rentals are possible but may have limited vehicle selection and higher prices.

Yes, we require a deposit to secure your booking. The deposit amount is typically 30% of the total rental cost and is due when you sign the contract. The remaining balance is usually due 30 days before the date of your trip. If you book less than 30 days in advance, full payment may be required upfront. We accept major credit cards, ACH transfers, and corporate checks.

Your quote includes the rental of the bus, driver’s pay, fuel, insurance, and any standard amenities (Wi-Fi, A/C, video monitors). Not included are tolls (e.g., Throgs Neck Bridge, Midtown Tunnel), parking fees (such as $40–$60 at UBS Arena or $25–$50 at Eisenhower Park), driver’s meals and lodging (if required), and optional gratuity (typically 10–20%). Any additional expenses incurred during the trip—such as extra mileage, unscheduled stops, or cleaning fees—will be billed separately after the trip.

You can get an instant quote by calling our 24-hour reservations team at 516-964-0290 or by using our online quote form.

Yes, you can request a specific bus model, color, or exterior wrap. Our fleet includes vehicles in black, white, silver, blue, red, and custom colors. If you need a particular brand (e.g., Prevost, Van Hool, MCI) or interior layout (leather seats, executive seating), let us know when booking. We can also arrange custom exterior graphics for corporate or team branding. While we do our best to accommodate all requests, exact availability may vary depending on the date and fleet schedule.
