To help you better understand what your bus pricing might look like, here are some real-world examples of recent quotes we’ve sent to customers:

Example #1: A law firm in downtown Elizabeth needed a 20-passenger minibus to shuttle attorneys and staff to the Union County Courthouse for a week-long trial. The courthouse did not provide parking for visitors, so the shuttle made multiple trips each day between the law office and the courthouse. The firm was quoted $2,500 for the five-day rental and tipped the driver 15%. Final cost including gratuity: $2,875

Example #2: A high school baseball team in Elizabeth requested a shuttle rental to the playoffs in Trenton. With 17 players, four coaches, and an extensive amount of equipment and luggage to bring to the tournament, the team settled on a coach bus rental with a seating capacity of 50. The head coach received a quote for $2,700 and tipped the driver 10% at the end of the trip. Final cost including gratuity: $2,970

Example #3: A corporate client needed a 56-passenger bus for a two-day conference in Philadelphia. The total cost was $4,200, including mileage, driver fee, and fuel. The client arranged hotel accommodation for the driver and paid tolls separately.

Example #4: A wedding party booked a 25-passenger minibus for a six-hour event, including transfers between the ceremony and reception venues. The rental rate was $250 per hour, totaling $1,500 for the day. Additional expenses included a cleaning fee and a 15% driver gratuity.

Example #5: A local university hired a charter bus to transport students to Newark Liberty International Airport for a study abroad program. The one-way trip required a 40-passenger bus at a flat rate of $1,800. Parking fees at the airport were billed separately.

Several factors affect charter bus pricing in Elizabeth, including the size and type of vehicle, length and distance of the trip, number of days, time of year, and current demand. Local events such as NYC commuter traffic, EWR airport shuttles, NJ Transit disruptions, and major events like the Portugal Day Parade, Peterstown festivals, or sporting events at Prudential Center and Red Bull Arena can also impact availability and rates. Multi-day and out-of-town trips may incur additional costs for driver lodging and per diem.
