FAQS

We offer 15- to 35-passenger minibuses from Grech Motors, Battisti Customs, Midwest Automotive Designs, LGE Coachworks, and Tiffany Coach Builders—perfect for local shuttles, corporate commuting, or small-group trips to places like Snug Harbor or the Staten Island Mall. For bigger groups, choose a 40- to 56-passenger coach bus from MCI, Prevost, Van Hool, or Setra, with premium amenities like restrooms, WiFi, power outlets, and reclining seats. We also have 10- to 50-passenger party buses, sprinter vans, and school buses available for any event or itinerary across Staten Island, Brooklyn, Manhattan, or even out-of-state trips.

Bus rental prices in Staten Island depend on several factors, including the type of bus, trip duration, mileage, time of year, and any special requests.

Most of our minibuses and coach buses come with free WiFi, power outlets or USB ports at every seat, flat-screen TVs, DVD players, and Bluetooth audio so you can stay connected and entertained on the way to Manhattan or New Jersey.

We serve all of Staten Island, including St. George, Tottenville, Great Kills, and more.

We provide transportation for every type of event and group across Staten Island and the NYC metro area. Common uses include wedding shuttles (to venues like Above or Grand Oaks Country Club), corporate commuter routes (to Midtown or Jersey City), school field trips (to the Staten Island Zoo or Historic Richmond Town), sports team travel (for local leagues or NYCFC games), private parties, concerts, festivals, religious gatherings, and more. We also handle long-distance trips to Atlantic City, Philadelphia, Washington DC, Boston, and beyond. No matter where you’re going or how many people you have, we’ll get you there comfortably and on time.

Yes, we offer one-way bus rentals for any route in Staten Island, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, the Bronx, or out of state. This is a great option if you’re moving, flying out of JFK/EWR/LGA, or planning a point-to-point transfer (like dropping a wedding party at the reception, then sending the bus home). One-way pricing is usually lower than hourly or daily rates, since you’re only paying for the distance traveled. Just let us know your pickup and drop-off addresses when you request a quote, and we’ll build a custom package that fits your schedule and budget.

Staten Island is more bus-friendly than other NYC boroughs, but parking and loading still requires planning. Major transit hubs like St. George Ferry Terminal have designated bus lanes and waiting areas. For events at Snug Harbor, Richmond County Bank Ballpark, or Staten Island University Hospital, there are dedicated lots or curbside zones for charter buses. Street parking is limited in residential neighborhoods, so it’s best to arrange pickup/drop-off at a nearby intersection or public space. If you’re traveling into Manhattan or Brooklyn, be aware of strict regulations around Times Square, Battery Park, Barclays Center, and other high-traffic areas—our team will help you navigate all local rules and permits.

If you need to adjust your itinerary, change passenger counts, or add/remove stops, just contact our customer service team as soon as possible. We can accommodate most changes up to the day of departure, depending on vehicle availability and scheduling. Minor updates (like shifting pickup times or rerouting within Staten Island) are usually free of charge. Major changes (such as rescheduling to a different date, upgrading/downgrading bus size, or extending the trip by several hours) may affect your final price. We understand that plans can evolve, especially for large events or multi-day tours, and we’ll work with you to keep everything on track.

Absolutely! We have wheelchair-accessible minibuses and full-size coaches equipped with lifts, securement areas, extra-wide aisles, and ADA-compliant restrooms. If anyone in your group has mobility challenges, please let us know during the booking process so we can assign an appropriate vehicle. Accessibility features are provided at no additional cost, and we can accommodate multiple wheelchairs per bus depending on the floor plan. We believe everyone deserves equal access to safe, reliable transportation—whether you’re heading to a doctor’s appointment, church service, or family reunion.

Your quote covers the cost of the bus, standard amenities, mileage, tolls, and any optional upgrades you request (like extra luggage space or premium entertainment systems). There are no hidden fees or surprise charges—everything is spelled out clearly in your contract. The only things not included are parking permits (if required by your destination), gratuities, and any incidental expenses incurred during the trip. If you have specific questions about what’s covered, just ask your reservation specialist—they’re available 24/7 to provide transparent, detailed information.

Yes, you are welcome to bring snacks and non-alcoholic beverages on board any of our Staten Island buses. Please use resealable containers and clean up after yourselves to keep the bus tidy for everyone. If you plan to serve alcohol, you must comply with all local laws and regulations—some vehicles allow it, others do not. Glass bottles are discouraged for safety reasons. For longer trips, we recommend packing coolers with sandwiches, chips, water, soda, and other easy-to-eat items. Just remember that excessive mess or damage may result in a cleaning fee.

We recommend booking your Staten Island bus rental as early as possible—ideally 3 to 6 months before your event date. This gives you the best selection of vehicles and the lowest prices, especially during peak seasons (spring weddings, summer camps, holiday parties). Last-minute reservations are possible, but availability may be limited and rates higher due to demand. If you’re planning a large-scale event or multi-day tour, the more lead time we have, the smoother everything will run. That said, we’ve pulled off same-day bookings in emergencies—so don’t hesitate to call us anytime you need a ride.
