A charter bus is a large, privately rented motor vehicle designed to transport groups of people together to a specific destination or on a custom itinerary. Unlike public buses with fixed routes, a charter bus operates on a schedule set entirely by the customer—making it ideal for events like corporate outings, school trips, weddings, sports team travel, or multi-day tours. These vehicles are built for comfort on longer journeys, typically offering cushioned reclining seats, strong climate control, luggage storage, and optional amenities such as onboard restrooms, Wi-Fi, and video screens. In Yonkers, charter buses are commonly used for everything from employee shuttles to Manhattan to fan transportation for local high school games or group excursions to regional attractions.

A charter bus is a large, modern vehicle typically 35 to 45 feet long with a high roofline, smooth sides, and multiple luggage bays below the passenger cabin. It has large tinted windows, a wide front windshield, and one or two entry doors—usually mid-vehicle with several steps up from the curb. The exterior is often white, black, or silver, but can be any color and may feature custom graphics or wraps. Inside, the bus has rows of high-back cushioned seats (often cloth or leatherette), overhead parcel racks, strong LED lighting, and flat non-slip flooring. There’s usually a restroom at the rear, video monitors mounted above the aisle, and optional features like Wi-Fi, power outlets, or PA systems. The overall look is sleek, professional, and built for moving large groups comfortably over any distance.

Most full-size charter buses seat between 50 and 56 passengers, which is ideal for large groups traveling together. Smaller groups can book a minibus that seats anywhere from 18 to 35 passengers. We even have sprinter vans available for groups of 10 to 15 people. If you’re traveling with a very large group, we can send multiple buses or several different sizes of vehicles to accommodate everyone. Just let us know how many people you need to transport, and we’ll make sure you get a vehicle (or vehicles) with enough seats for everyone.

Anyone who needs to move a group of people from one place to another can rent a charter bus! We frequently work with school groups, sports teams, wedding parties, corporate event attendees, church groups, senior citizen organizations, and groups of friends or family members traveling together for special events. Some of our most common trips include shuttling wedding guests between venues, transporting sports teams to away games, bringing students on educational field trips, and providing corporate employees with convenient transportation to conferences or training sessions.

We offer a wide range of buses in Yonkers, including full-size charter buses, several sizes of minibuses, and sprinter vans. Our most popular full-size coaches are the Van Hool CX45, Prevost H3-45, and MCI J4500, each seating up to 55 passengers. For mid-size groups, we have Grech Motors GM36 (36 seats) and Turtle Top VT3 (28–32 seats). Smaller groups can use our Ford Transit or Mercedes-Benz Sprinter vans, which hold 10–15 passengers. Many models are available in Yonkers, including ADA-accessible options with up to 52 seats. If you need something specific, just ask—we can usually get any bus you want.

A charter bus (also called a coach bus) is built for comfortable, long-distance group travel with forward-facing seats, luggage bays, and amenities like Wi-Fi or restrooms—ideal for school trips, corporate outings, or sports team transport. A party bus is a smaller vehicle designed for on-board entertainment: it has perimeter seating, dance floors, colored lighting, sound systems, and is used for weddings, bachelor/bachelorette parties, or nightlife events. An entertainer bus (or sleeper coach) is a custom motorcoach made for touring musicians or performers—it includes multiple bunk beds, lounge areas, a kitchen, shower, and space for relaxing or working while on tour. In short: charter/coach buses move groups comfortably; party buses are for short, social events with dancing; entertainer buses house performers on multi-day tours.

Most modern Yonkers charter buses come standard with comfortable reclining seats, strong air conditioning and heating, overhead parcel racks, and ample luggage storage either under the bus or at the rear. Additional amenities often include free Wi-Fi, individual 110V power outlets or USB ports at each seat, flat-screen video monitors with DVD/Blu-ray capability, and a public address (PA) system for announcements. Many full-size coaches feature an onboard restroom located at the rear of the cabin. Optional upgrades can include leatherette seating, tray tables, reading lights, and onboard sound systems that connect to personal devices. For longer trips, some buses offer HDMI inputs for gaming consoles or laptops, and select models can be equipped with custom lighting or even beverage coolers upon request. ADA-accessible buses with wheelchair lifts and designated securement areas are also available. Specific amenities vary by bus model and can be confirmed or requested when booking.

Yes, most modern charter buses offer onboard WiFi as a standard amenity. This allows passengers to browse the internet, check email, and stay connected while on the road. However, it’s important to note that the quality and speed of the WiFi connection can vary depending on the bus model and the area you’re traveling through. In some cases, the WiFi may be sufficient for basic browsing and email but not strong enough for streaming videos or participating in video calls. If having a reliable internet connection is essential for your trip, be sure to mention this when booking your bus so we can assign you a vehicle with the best available WiFi.

Full-size Yonkers charter buses typically provide 500 to 700 cubic feet of luggage space, accommodating about one large suitcase per passenger plus a carry-on bag. Most of this storage is in undercarriage bays beneath the passenger cabin, with additional room in overhead racks inside the bus for smaller items. If you’re traveling with bulky equipment—such as musical instruments, sports gear, or trade show materials—please let us know in advance so we can ensure your bus has sufficient storage. For groups with extra luggage, we can arrange a second bus or a separate luggage vehicle.

We’ll confirm what’s available and strive to match your request as closely as possible.

Your reservation specialist will provide a detailed breakdown of all included and excluded items when you receive your quote.

It’s best to book your Yonkers bus rental as early as possible—ideally 3 to 6 months in advance—to ensure availability and get the best rates.

Last-minute bookings are possible but may be subject to limited vehicle availability and higher prices. Once you have your trip details finalized, securing your rental early will give you the best selection of vehicles and help lock in your preferred schedule.
