Minibus & Charter Bus Rentals in Jersey City

Charter bus rentals in Jersey City typically cost $1,810 to $3,665+ per day, $180–$500+ per hour, or $4.50–$7.50 per mile depending on vehicle size, trip duration, and season. Minibuses generally run $1,520–$3,365 per day, $150–$440+ per hour, or $3.25–$5.50 per mile. You'll be quoted either an hourly rate for local trips, a daily rate for multi-day events, or a per-mile rate for long-distance travel—whichever makes the most sense for your itinerary.

Here are real examples of recent Jersey City charter bus quotes to help you plan your budget:

Example 1: A Hudson County high school needed transportation for 210 students and 12 chaperones for a day trip to the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum in Manhattan. The group would depart Jersey City at 9:00 AM and return by 4:00 PM. The teacher called Price4Limo and our team recommended a fleet of four 56-passenger charter buses to accommodate the entire group comfortably. At a daily rate of $1,750 each, the total quote came to $7,000 for all four buses, covering fuel, mileage, and all driver costs.

Example 2: A couple planning their fall wedding at Liberty House Restaurant needed shuttle service for 28 guests staying at hotels in Exchange Place. The shuttle would run pickups starting at 4:00 PM and transport guests to the venue, then provide return service at 11:00 PM after the reception. Price4Limo matched them with a 35-passenger minibus for the evening. Because their wedding fell during peak season in October, they paid a slightly higher rate, bringing their total to $1,925 for the shuttle service.

Example 3: A downtown Jersey City tech startup wanted to provide airport transportation for 14 executives flying into Newark Liberty International for an early morning 6:30 AM flight. Employees were concerned about making their flight on time during rush hour traffic on the Turnpike, so the company booked a corporate shuttle to handle pickups from team members' homes in Journal Square and the Heights. Price4Limo provided an 18-passenger minibus with undercarriage storage for luggage, and the company paid $825 total for the straightforward airport transfer.

Example 4: Saint Peter's University's sports team needed transportation for a 3-day tournament in Philadelphia. The group included 22 players and 3 coaches, plus considerable gear and luggage requiring undercarriage storage. The head coach called Price4Limo, and our specialist recommended a 40-passenger charter bus with ample luggage bays for the team's travel needs. At $1,680 per day for three days, the coach received a quote of $5,040 for their Jersey City charter bus rental. The coach also knew the quote didn't include overnight hotel accommodations for the driver, so they worked with the Philadelphia hotel to arrange a complimentary room.

The overall cost of your Jersey City charter bus depends on several factors unique to your trip, including the bus provider, vehicle type, travel dates, and amenity requests. Here's what influences your final price:

How far your bus travels: Longer trips cost more than shorter ones, but how your price is calculated varies based on trip length. One-day events in Jersey City lasting just a few hours—like field trips to Liberty Science Center or weddings at The Barrow—will likely be priced per hour, while multi-day trips will be priced per day or per mile. This also determines driver requirements, since a driver can only work 10 hours per day. If you're on the road longer than that, you'll need an additional driver, which raises rates.

How many days you need the bus: Multi-day trips cost more than single-day rentals. Call us with your itinerary—even if it might change slightly—so we can provide the most accurate quote based on where you plan to take your bus throughout Jersey City, New York, and beyond. We'll work to get you the best rates possible.

What time of year you're traveling: Charter bus demand fluctuates throughout the year. April, May, and June are notoriously expensive months to book because of graduation ceremonies at New Jersey City University and Saint Peter's University, prom season, end-of-year school trips, wedding season, and sporting events like Red Bulls matches at Red Bull Arena. January, February, and July tend to be the least expensive months. Book your trip at least 3–6 months in advance to secure the best deal on your Jersey City bus rental.

Your pickup and drop-off locations: Where you start and end your trip plays a big role in your quote. These locations determine if deadhead fees—costs associated with the bus traveling without passengers—need to be included. For example, if you rent a charter bus from Jersey City to Philadelphia for a one-way trip, the bus still needs to return to its home location. What looks like a 2-hour one-way trip is actually a 4-hour trip—2 hours with passengers onboard, and 2 hours back empty. The good news? You won't calculate this yourself. Provide us with your most accurate itinerary and we'll work to get you the most affordable price. Our nationwide fleet helps us cut down travel time costs.

What type of bus you choose: Price4Limo offers one of the largest bus selections in Jersey City and throughout New Jersey, so you'll have tons of options. Generally, charter buses cost the most per hour, followed by minibuses, sprinter vans, and school buses at the lower end. Pricing still varies based on factors like the bus's year, amenities, and make/model. The best way to get started is using our online quote tool or calling our team. We'll send over a quote with all the different options, pictures, pricing, and available packages so you can browse everything and find what fits your needs.

Which special amenities you request: Many amenities like plush seating and ADA-accessible features come standard on each bus model. Other amenities—onboard restrooms, TVs with DVD players, WiFi, and power outlets—might come at an additional charge. Let your reservation specialist know about any specific requests, and we'll make sure those are reflected in your quote.

Keep in mind: You may also have to pay for tolls (like the Holland Tunnel or Lincoln Tunnel), parking fees at venues, and overnight hotel accommodations for your driver if you're traveling multiple days.
