Here are real examples of recent New Brunswick charter bus rental quotes to give you an idea of what to expect:

Example 1: A group of 30 Rutgers University students needs transportation from the College Avenue campus in New Brunswick to a career fair at the New Jersey Convention and Exposition Center in Edison. They plan to leave campus at 9:00 AM, spend the day at the event, and return by 5:00 PM. The student organization president calls Price4Limo and is matched with a 30-passenger minibus for the day. At a daily rate of $1,350, the group is quoted $1,350 total for their New Brunswick charter bus rental.

Example 2: A wedding party of 18 people needs transportation from a hotel in downtown New Brunswick to a ceremony at The Heldrich Hotel and then to a reception at a venue in Somerset. The couple wants a shuttle to run between the two locations throughout the evening. They call Price4Limo and are matched with a 20-passenger minibus for the evening. As their wedding takes place during peak rental season, they will pay a slightly higher rate for this rental, bringing their wedding shuttle bus rental total to $1,800.

Example 3: A corporate team of 12 employees needs transportation from their office in New Brunswick to Newark Liberty International Airport for a business trip. Their flight departs at 8:00 AM, so they need to leave the office early in the morning. The office manager books a 15-passenger sprinter van with Price4Limo for the one-way trip to the airport. They end up paying $550 total for the airport transfer.

Example 4: A local high school baseball team in New Brunswick has an away game in Philadelphia. This will be a one-day trip with 20 players and 4 coaches who will all be traveling together. The head coach calls Price4Limo, and a rental specialist recommends a 56-passenger charter bus for the team's travel needs. At $1,620 for the day, the coach is quoted $1,620 for their charter bus in New Brunswick.

Charter bus pricing in New Brunswick is influenced by several key factors, including trip duration, distance traveled, time of year, type of vehicle, and any special amenities or requests you might have. Here's a breakdown of what goes into the cost:

Trip length and duration: Short, local trips around New Brunswick or Rutgers campus are usually priced per hour, while longer excursions—like a day trip to New York City, Philadelphia, or the Jersey Shore—might be priced per day or per mile. If your trip spans multiple days (such as a multi-day conference or out-of-state travel with an overnight hotel stay), expect those extra days to increase the total cost since the bus and driver are reserved for your group the entire time.

Travel dates and seasonality: Charter bus demand spikes during certain times of the year, which can affect pricing. In New Brunswick, peak season includes April through June (for Rutgers commencement, high school proms, and spring weddings), September through November (fall sports and homecoming), and December (holiday parties). If you're booking during these busy months, try to reserve your bus 3–6 months ahead for the best rates. Off-peak months like January, February, and July often have lower prices due to decreased demand.

Pickup and drop-off locations: Where your trip starts and ends matters for pricing. This is because of a factor called "deadhead"—the time the bus spends traveling without passengers. For example, if you're booking a one-way charter from New Brunswick to Newark Liberty International Airport or into Manhattan, the bus still needs to return to its base after drop-off. We minimize deadhead costs by matching you with the closest available vehicle from our large regional fleet, but it's something to keep in mind when planning one-way versus round-trip service.

Type of vehicle: We offer everything from 15-passenger minibuses to 56-passenger full-size charter buses, and each comes with its own price point. Full-size charter buses cost more per hour than minibuses or sprinter vans, but they also seat more people and often include premium amenities like onboard restrooms, reclining seats, and WiFi. School buses are available for budget-friendly local trips and are typically the least expensive option. Let us know your group size and budget, and we'll help you find the best fit at the best price.

Special amenities: Standard features like air conditioning and comfortable seating come included, but if you have specific requests—like a bus with a restroom, PA system, or ADA-accessible lift—let us know in advance so we can match you with the right vehicle. Some amenities (like WiFi, power outlets, or DVD/video screens) may add a small premium to the base rate, but most are included at no extra charge depending on the bus you select.

Additional expenses: While the charter bus rental covers the main transportation cost, you'll also want to budget for potential extras like tolls (especially if traveling on the New Jersey Turnpike, Garden State Parkway, or into NYC via the Lincoln/Holland Tunnel), parking fees at your destination (such as at MetLife Stadium, Rutgers athletic facilities, or downtown venues), and driver lodging if your trip requires an overnight stay.

With the largest fleet in the state, we'll help you find the right bus at the right price—and get you rolling on time!

Charter buses typically include cushioned, reclining seats, powerful air conditioning, overhead storage bins, undercarriage luggage bays, onboard restrooms, TV monitors with DVD players, and Wi-Fi with power outlets at every seat. These features are ideal for long-distance trips. If you're booking a minibus, you'll still get great amenities like comfortable seating, strong A/C, Wi-Fi, and a PA system for announcements. The best part is that you can customize your rental to fit your group's needs—whether it's storage space for band equipment at State Theatre New Jersey, or Wi-Fi for business commuters heading to Wall Street. Just let us know what you need, and we'll provide you with the perfect bus!

We recommend booking your charter bus at least 3-6 months in advance, especially if you're traveling during peak season (spring/summer or around major holidays). We've been doing this for a long time and can tell you from experience that the earlier you book, the better your chances of getting the exact vehicle you want at the best possible price. Last-minute rentals are possible—we've helped groups just days before their trip—but availability will be more limited and prices may be higher. Once you know your date and headcount, it's smart to lock in your reservation. That way, you can relax knowing your transportation is set and you'll have the best selection of vehicles to choose from. If you have any questions about timing or need help planning your trip, give us a call! We're always here to help.

What's not included are things like tolls, parking passes, or hotel rooms for the driver (if your trip requires an overnight stay). For example, if you're going to a concert or sporting event at MetLife Stadium, the bus parking pass is about $150 and would need to be paid separately. If you're traveling out of town and the driver needs a hotel room, we can help you book one at a discounted rate. We'll explain exactly what's included and what isn't when we give you your quote, so you can book with confidence and avoid any surprises.
