FAQS

A New York City shuttle bus rental typically costs between $1,695–$5,500+ for local trips and $5.50–$9.00 per mile for long-distance charters, depending on the size of the bus, duration of the rental, and exact itinerary. You will need to contact our team directly to get exact pricing.

NYC shuttle bus rental prices are affected by the size of the bus (number of seats), length of the trip (hours or days), total mileage, time of year (peak vs. off-peak), and any additional services or amenities requested. Local NYC trips are usually billed hourly with a 5-hour minimum, while out-of-town trips are charged by the day or by mileage. Demand during busy seasons like spring and fall can also impact rates.

The hotel should be a standard room at a national chain (e.g., Holiday Inn, Hampton Inn) with a private bathroom.

This ensures compliance with regulations and allows for continuous operation on longer routes.
