No — Busrentalnewrochelle.com is a comparison and referral website. In practical terms, that means you use it to compare vehicles and pricing from a network of independently owned bus companies serving the New Rochelle area, and the transportation itself is carried out by those independent operators. You come to this site, fill out a form or make a call, and you are connected to a national booking platform where you can see vehicles and prices and book the one that fits your trip.
The site is the tool; the network is what moves your group.
When you search on your own, you are calling one company at a time and getting one price at a time — and then waiting. With Busrentalnewrochelle.com, you fill out one form or make one call to 914-278-6090 and you immediately see vehicles and prices from a whole network of providers serving New Rochelle, all on one results page. More options, different price points, and no time spent chasing callbacks.
Companies are competing for the booking, which puts you in a better position than calling a single operator and taking whatever they quote.
An independently owned transportation company serving New Rochelle. Once you fill out the quote form, you are taken to a national booking platform where you choose the vehicle that suits your trip — the size, the amenities, the price. What you are choosing is a vehicle and a package, not selecting from a list of operators.
The transportation company confirmed to your booking is communicated to you after the reservation is complete, and they handle the trip from there.
Booking a Charter Bus
Fill out the form on this page with your trip details — or call 914-278-6090 — and you are taken straight to a results page on a national booking company's website. That booking company partners with independently owned operators serving the New Rochelle area, and their site shows you the vehicles and prices available for your trip. Right there, you choose the vehicle and the package that fits your group, and you book it directly on their website.
What you are selecting is a vehicle and a price — the whole process takes minutes.
Your pickup city, where you are going, how many people are in the group, and how many hours you need the bus. That is enough to get started. The more detail you include — your specific stops, start and end times, how much luggage the group is bringing, and any amenities that matter to you — the more accurate the quote comes back and the better you can match a vehicle to your actual trip.
More detail up front means fewer surprises later.
Right away — there is no waiting on a callback. As soon as you submit the form, you go straight to the search results page on the national booking platform and see quotes immediately. No email to wait for, no voicemail to leave.
If you would rather talk through the trip with someone, call 914-278-6090 and a live agent can walk you through your options and help put together a package that fits.
The earlier the better for a popular date — and the larger the group or the more specific the vehicle, the further ahead you want to go. That said, because Busrentalnewrochelle.com puts your request in front of a whole network of providers serving New Rochelle rather than one operator with one yard, short-notice trips are often still workable. That is the real advantage of comparing a network instead of calling a single company and being told no.
If your date is coming up fast, submit the request or call 914-278-6090 anyway — you may have more options than you expect.
All of those can be requested. Hourly or as-directed keeps the vehicle with your group for a set block of time, which works well for events where the schedule is not fixed. A one-way transfer moves the group from one point to another and ends there.
A round trip brings everyone back to where they started. A multi-stop itinerary runs a set route with several stops along the way — a brewery loop or a wedding day with multiple pickups, for example. A multi-day booking covers a trip that runs across more than one day, like a group heading to Boston or Atlantic City for a weekend.
Which format fits depends on the trip itself, and a multi-stop or overnight itinerary should be laid out in full when you submit the request so it comes back priced correctly.
Charter Bus Pricing
A charter bus costs $205–$385+ per hour on weekdays, $225–$410+ per hour on weekends, and $1,650–$2,950+ per day. Those are real planning ranges, not a single price — what your trip actually costs depends on the bus type, the date, how long you need it, the route, and how busy that date is across the New Rochelle market. The range is a starting point.
To see the number for your specific trip, fill out the form and pricing comes back in seconds, or call 914-278-6090 — going through the details with someone can turn up better packages and pricing than you would find searching on your own.
It depends on the trip, and all three structures are used. A short trip of a few hours in and around Westchester County is typically priced hourly. A trip that covers significant distance — generally past the 100- to 200-mile mark, like a run from New Rochelle down to Washington, D.C. or up to Boston — may carry a per-mile rate instead of stacked hours.
And a long day, generally around eight hours or more, often comes back as a flat day rate because the vehicle is booked for most of the day regardless of how many miles it covers. Submitting the actual trip details is what determines which structure applies to your booking. Never guess at a per-mile figure — the results page will show you the number.
The type and size of bus, how long it is booked for, the day of the week, the date, the distance and route, the number of stops, and how busy that date is across the local market all move the price. In New Rochelle, prom weekends in late April and May, Iona University commencement in mid-May, Yankees home games, and peak wedding season from June through October are the stretches when demand across Westchester County runs highest and pricing reflects it.
What you can actually do about it: Sunday through Thursday prices lower than Friday and Saturday, and daytime trips on those same days cost less than evenings. Booking the bus size your group actually needs beats over-booking capacity you are not filling. And grouping riders into one or two pickup points on the I-95 corridor — rather than five separate stops across New Rochelle and the surrounding towns — keeps the hours on the clock shorter and the price lower.

About Charter Buses
A charter bus is a full-size passenger coach that a group hires for its own trip — its own route, its own schedule — rather than riding a fixed public route. It is built for moving a large group over a distance in one vehicle, and a standard full-size coach seats roughly 40 to 56 people. The group has the whole coach to themselves for the duration of the trip.
From the outside, a full-size charter bus is a tall, long coach body with high windows running almost the full length of both sides and luggage bay doors along the lower skirt beneath the floor. The exterior is usually finished in white, silver, black, or another solid color, though some coaches are wrapped in an operator's own graphics — so the coach that pulls up for your group may not look the same as the one in a photo. Inside, you find forward-facing seats arranged in pairs on either side of a center aisle, running the full length of the cabin.
Seat fabric is cloth or leather depending on the make and model — the Prevost H3-45 and Van Hool CX45 are typically leather-appointed; the MCI J4500 and Temsa TS45 often run cloth. Overhead parcel racks run the length of the cabin above both rows, and a restroom sits toward the rear.
Some of the amenities available on charter buses include reclining cloth or leather seats, individual climate controls, an onboard restroom, overhead parcel racks and undercarriage baggage bays, WiFi, 110-volt power outlets and USB charging ports, a PA system with wireless microphone, and flat-screen TV monitors. Features may include any or all of those depending on the make, model, and specific vehicle — what a given coach is equipped with is confirmed during the booking process. If there is an amenity the group needs — WiFi for a working ride down to Midtown, power outlets for a long run to Boston — note it with the trip details so the results show vehicles that are built for it.
Generally 40 to 56 passengers, depending on the make and model, with 56 the most common build on a full-size coach. The MCI J4500 seats 56 as standard and is built for up to 60; the Van Hool CX45 is the same, 56 standard and up to 60; the Prevost H3-45 seats 56. Shorter 35-foot coaches seat closer to 44.
What changes the count on the same coach is configuration: extra legroom takes seats out of the row count, and a wheelchair position removes additional seats to create the space and secure the chair. Because Busrentalnewrochelle.com works with a network of providers serving New Rochelle, the exact coach on any given trip depends on what is available for your date — submit the trip or call 914-278-6090 if the group needs a specific passenger capacity confirmed before booking.
A 56-passenger coach runs 14 rows, with two seats on each side of a center aisle — four seats across, forward-facing, one aisle straight down the middle. The row count drops on coaches built with extra legroom, since the additional space between rows means fewer rows fit in the same coach length, and a wheelchair position takes out one or two rows at the front or rear to create the accessible space. Some coaches also tier the first couple of rows slightly upward for a better view over the front of the coach.
A full-size charter bus is 45 feet long and 8.5 feet wide. To put that in terms that are actually useful — because the reason most people ask is that they are checking whether one fits somewhere — 45 feet is roughly three cars parked end to end. Shorter coaches exist, most commonly around 35 feet, and those are worth knowing about for venues with tighter access, like some of the historic properties and waterfront venues around New Rochelle.
The 45-foot coach is the standard full-size vehicle.
A full-size charter bus stands about 11 to 12 feet tall depending on the model, and traffic engineers design overhead clearances for 12 feet. Again, the reason this comes up is almost always a clearance question — a parking garage, a covered porte-cochère, a low bridge on a back road. A useful comparison: 12 feet is a little taller than a single story of a house.
Low-clearance structures are common enough around older Westchester County properties that it is worth confirming access before the day of the event if the venue has any covered approaches.
WiFi is one of the amenities available on charter buses, and many coaches on the road today are equipped with it. One point worth knowing: onboard WiFi is a piece of equipment a coach is built with rather than something every coach carries, so whether a given vehicle has it varies by make, model, and operator. It is also worth setting the right expectation — onboard WiFi runs off a cellular connection and is built for light use across a full coach.
Phones, messaging, browsing, and light email work well. Fifty people running video calls or large file transfers at once is a different story. If the group needs connectivity for a working ride down to Midtown or a longer run to another city, note it with the trip details so the results show vehicles equipped for it.
Yes, an onboard restroom is standard on full-size charter buses. It sits toward the rear of the coach and is there so the group does not have to stop — which matters on a run from New Rochelle down to MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford or up to a casino in Connecticut. On a long run, most trips still plan real rest stops along the way, and the onboard restroom is there for the stretches in between.
Note it with the trip details if it matters for your group, and the vehicles that come back will have it confirmed.
Yes, charter buses are built with 110-volt AC power outlets, and coaches are commonly fitted with them at every seat — some with a USB port built into the same outlet. This is an equipment option rather than something every coach carries, so it varies by vehicle. In practical terms, a group can keep phones and laptops charged across a long run — which is useful on a three-hour trip to Philadelphia or a four-hour ride to Boston.
If the group needs outlets at every seat, note it with the trip details so the results show coaches equipped that way.
Yes, in two places — overhead parcel racks inside the coach and undercarriage baggage bays underneath it. A full-size coach carries roughly 460 cubic feet of underfloor baggage space and around 100 cubic feet in the overhead racks. Across a full 56-passenger load, that works out to roughly 8 cubic feet per person in the underfloor bays and under 2 cubic feet per person overhead — which in practice is about one checked-size rolling bag per person underneath and one small carry-on or day bag in the rack above.
What changes it: a coach fitted with a wheelchair lift gives up some baggage bay space where the lift mechanism sits. Bulky gear — instruments, sports equipment, event supplies, cases of product for a corporate event — takes the space of several standard bags and should be stated with the trip details. A group of 30 people each bringing a large rolling bag plus a backpack for a long weekend in the Catskills is a different luggage picture than 50 people going to a Yankees game with nothing but a jacket.
State the luggage situation with the request so the right coach is matched to the group.

Prom season in late April and May is the single busiest stretch of the year across Westchester County — New Rochelle High School, Salesian High School, and the area's private schools all schedule their proms within a tight window, and buses across the whole market get taken early. Iona University commencement in mid-May, held on its New Rochelle campus, and New Rochelle High School graduation in mid-to-late June, typically held at the Westchester County Center, add to that spring pressure. Yankees home games from April through early October drive consistent weekend demand, and Giants and Jets home Sundays at MetLife Stadium do the same from September through January.
Wedding season from June through October, with September and October the peak months in Westchester, fills buses fast on Saturdays. New Year's Eve is the highest single-night demand date of the year. Book any of those dates well ahead — and on short notice, submit the request anyway, because the network has more options than any one operator.
Planning Your New Rochelle, New York Charter Bus Trip
Yes — all of the major airports serving the New York metropolitan area. Westchester County Airport (HPN) in White Plains is the closest at roughly 12 miles northwest, about 20 to 30 minutes in normal traffic via I-287. LaGuardia Airport (LGA) is approximately 25 miles southwest, roughly 40 to 65 minutes via I-95 south.
John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) is approximately 30 miles southwest, roughly 45 to 75 minutes depending on traffic. Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) is approximately 45 miles southwest, roughly 60 to 90 minutes. The coach meets your group outside the terminal at the spot that airport designates for buses and larger vehicles, following that airport's own ground transportation guidelines.
Build extra time into any JFK or LGA run during morning and afternoon peak hours on I-95 — the corridor through the Bronx is one of the most congested stretches in the country.
Yes — all of the major venues in the metro area that New Rochelle groups travel to regularly. Yankee Stadium (1 E 161st St, Bronx, NY 10451) is approximately 15 miles southwest, about 25 to 40 minutes via I-95 south — buses drop on River Avenue near Gate 2 and stage on Jerome Avenue while the game is on. MetLife Stadium (1 MetLife Stadium Dr, East Rutherford, NJ 07073) is approximately 35 miles southwest, roughly 50 to 75 minutes; buses use the designated motorcoach drop-off area on the stadium approach roads.
Madison Square Garden (4 Pennsylvania Plaza, New York, NY 10001) and Barclays Center (620 Atlantic Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11217) handle concerts and NBA and NHL games year-round. Citi Field (41 Seaver Way, Flushing, NY 11368) and UBS Arena (2400 Hempstead Turnpike, Elmont, NY 11003) round out the major venues. On game days and event nights, traffic patterns around all of these venues change significantly — build extra time into the departure from New Rochelle, and have a pre-arranged meet point for the return so the group boards together rather than hunting for the bus in a crowd.
Yes — the major event venues in and around New Rochelle are well within the service area. Westchester County Center (198 Central Ave, White Plains, NY 10606) is approximately 10 miles northwest and is the primary large-venue destination for concerts, trade shows, graduation ceremonies, and sporting events in the county — it has designated bus loading areas separate from the main passenger entrance. Glen Island Harbour Club (Glen Island Park, New Rochelle, NY 10805) and The Surf Club on the Sound (280 Davenport Ave, New Rochelle, NY 10805) are both directly in New Rochelle and host large private events and corporate gatherings.
New Roc City (33 LeCount Place, New Rochelle, NY 10801) in downtown New Rochelle handles entertainment events year-round. For a repeat shuttle between a hotel and a venue — a common setup for multi-day conferences or large corporate events — lay out the full schedule with the request so it comes back timed and priced correctly.
Yes, any wedding venue in the New Rochelle area. The waterfront venues in the city are some of the most sought-after in Westchester County: Glen Island Harbour Club (Glen Island Park, New Rochelle, NY 10805) sits on its own island connected by a bridge off Pelham Road and is one of the most iconic wedding locations in the county, and The Surf Club on the Sound offers ballroom space directly on Long Island Sound. Nearby, Pelham Country Club (191 Pelhamdale Ave, Pelham, NY 10803) and Wykagyl Country Club (1195 North Ave, New Rochelle, NY 10804) handle weddings regularly, and the wider Westchester area adds venues like Tappan Hill Mansion in Tarrytown and Crabtree's Kittle House in Chappaqua.
The most common wedding setup is shuttling guests between a hotel block and the venue across the evening — give the exact venue address and the hotel address with the request, along with the run times, and the right vehicle gets matched to the route.
Yes — the schools and campuses in and around New Rochelle are all served. New Rochelle High School (265 Clove Rd, New Rochelle, NY 10801) and the New Rochelle City School District's middle and elementary schools are the most common origins for field trips and team travel. Iona University (715 North Ave, New Rochelle, NY 10801) and Monroe University (434 Main St, New Rochelle, NY 10801) are both directly in the city.
Nearby campuses include Sarah Lawrence College (1 Mead Way, Bronxville, NY 10708) approximately 4 miles west, Manhattanville University (2900 Purchase St, Purchase, NY 10577) approximately 8 miles north, and Fordham University (441 E Fordham Rd, Bronx, NY 10458) approximately 10 miles south. Field trips and team travel typically pick up at the school or campus itself — campuses have designated bus loading zones, and the exact pickup point should be included with the request. Student trips should also include the full headcount and any accessibility or chaperone needs so the right vehicle comes back.
Yes — all of the popular stops that New Rochelle groups build tours around. Broken Bow Brewery (173 Marbledale Rd, Tuckahoe, NY 10707) is approximately 4 miles northwest, about 10 minutes. Yonkers Brewing Company (92 Main St, Yonkers, NY 10701) is approximately 8 miles southwest, about 15 minutes.
Captain Lawrence Brewing Company (444 Saw Mill River Rd, Elmsford, NY 10523) is approximately 15 miles northwest, about 25 minutes — a popular anchor stop on a Westchester brewery loop. The Hudson Valley wine trail is approximately 60 to 90 minutes north via I-87, with stops like Brotherhood Winery (100 Brotherhood Plaza Dr, Washingtonville, NY 10992) and Benmarl Winery (156 Highland Ave, Marlboro, NY 12542). For casinos, Mohegan Sun (1 Mohegan Sun Blvd, Uncasville, CT 06382) and Foxwoods (350 Trolley Line Blvd, Mashantucket, CT 06338) are both approximately 100 to 115 miles northeast, about 1.5 to 2 hours via I-95 north.
For a multi-stop tour, list the stops and how long the group plans to stay at each one — that is what determines the hours on the clock and gets the trip priced correctly.
Yes. Long-distance trips from New Rochelle are a regular part of what the network handles. New York City is approximately 16 miles and 30 to 50 minutes south via I-95.
Philadelphia is approximately 100 miles and 2 to 2.5 hours via I-95 south. Atlantic City is approximately 130 miles and 2.5 to 3 hours via I-95 south and the Garden State Parkway. Boston is approximately 230 miles and 3.5 to 4.5 hours via I-95 north.
Washington, D.C. is approximately 240 miles and 4 to 5 hours via I-95 south. Niagara Falls is approximately 380 miles and 6 to 7 hours via I-87 north and I-90 west. Cape Cod is approximately 280 miles and 4.5 to 5.5 hours via I-95 north and US-6.

Call 914-278-6090 or fill out the form to get started.
