Brooklyn Charter Bus Pricing: What Goes Into It?
At Brooklyn Charter Bus Company, we don’t gatekeep and we value transparency. That’s why we are happy to tell you more about some of the factors that go into the cost of booking a charter bus rental in Brooklyn.
Travel dates: One of the biggest factors is your travel dates. During peak charter bus season, which is typically summer months and the winter holidays season, availability is lower which can cause rates to be inflated.
Travel Duration and Distance: If you’re booking a field trip charter bus to the Brooklyn Botanic Garden or another local trip, your rates will likely be lower than if you are booking overnight transportation or out-of-town trips.
Passenger Count: This is another important factor that impacts the overall price of your charter bus, as it affects what type of charter bus in Brooklyn you are matched with. Having a precise passenger count will ensure you are matched with the right bus, and since smaller buses are cheaper, it’s in your best interest to have your passenger count finalized when you book to avoid paying for a larger bus than you actually need.
Booking Time: One of the best ways to save money on a charter bus is to book as far in advance as possible. We are able to accommodate last-minute requests of course, but calling in advance if you plan to have a trip during peak months (summertime and winter holidays) is the best way to save money.
We value transparency at Brooklyn Charter Bus Company and break down every cost associated with your rental. Below is a list of what is and isn’t included in the cost of your Brooklyn bus rental.
What’s Included: The hourly or daily cost of your rental, pay for your professional driver, fuel, and full coverage insurance.
What’s NOT Included: Parking and tolls, lodging for your driver during multi-day trips, parking garage fees, and a tip for your driver. Tips are not obligatory, but most customers tip around 5 to ten percent of their rental cost in cash at the end of their trip.

To help you understand even further what it looks like to rent a Brooklyn charter bus with us, below are a few hypothetical scenarios similar to groups we have helped before.
A Bachelorette Weekend Charter Bus in Brooklyn
A woman planning her bachelorette party in Brooklyn is looking for an easier way to get around bars like the Sunken Harbor Club than hailing multiple rideshares or choosing a designated driver. She decides to investigate booking a charter bus for wedding parties in Brooklyn and finds us.
Her and her eight bridesmaids are matched with an 18-passenger minibus for the weekend. It comes with onboard WiFi and power outlets to ensure their phones are charged to snap plenty of pictures and can pick them up directly from their hotel. Because their itinerary is planned out to a T with a list of all planned stops and they don’t take any detours, they are charged per hour for 10 hours at $150 an hour for a grand total of $1,500. This makes it only about $188 per person for reliable transportation all day.
A Charter Bus at Newark Liberty International Airport for Corporate
A company based in Brooklyn with a team of 20 is traveling internationally to Denmark to meet with higher ups at the corporate office. They will be gone for a week and want to have reliable transportation to the airport for the 8 AM flight. Instead of traveling separately, which staggers arrivals and increases chances of some people missing their flight, they instead look into booking a corporate charter bus rental through us.
As the journey from Brooklyn to Newark Liberty International Airport is easily about an hour, and they are making the journey twice, they are matched with a 20-passenger minibus and billed for the five-hour minimum rental. That totals at $200 per hour (rates are higher because they booked within a week of the flight) or $1,000. As the average cost of taking an Uber to the airport from Brooklyn ranges from $75 to $170, their 20-person team saves money and stays together during the trip.
A Shuttle Bus in Brooklyn For Construction Sites
A construction foreman notices that extra time is being taken for team members to walk from one part of a construction site to another that is nearly half a mile away, during which time they cannot make any progress on the site. He wants to look into ways to cut down on foot travel time to complete the project according to the deadline and decides to book a construction shuttle in Brooklyn two days a week to cut down on time.
Due to the amount of workers and the size of the worksite, he is matched with a 56-passenger charter bus that has the added bonus of undercarriage storage to hold extra equipment along the way. He books it for one month, twice a week, and is quoted $14,000.
