Charter Bus & Coach Bus Rentals in Berkeley, New Jersey

A charter bus is a private, prearranged group transportation service that travels according to your schedule and itinerary. Unlike public NJ Transit buses or Greyhound lines, you rent the entire vehicle for exclusive use by your group—whether it’s students headed to Six Flags Great Adventure, wedding guests shuttling between venues in Toms River, or sports teams traveling to tournaments across Ocean County. Charter buses come in many sizes (15–56+ seats) and include amenities like Wi-Fi, power outlets, reclining seats, luggage bays, and onboard restrooms depending on the model. You set the pickup points, departure times, and route; everything runs on your terms.

We have one of the largest fleets in Ocean County with minibuses (15–35 passengers), full-size motorcoaches (47–56+ passengers), entertainer coaches for band tours, executive sprinters, and specialty vehicles like party buses or school buses. All major brands are represented including Prevost, Van Hool, Setra, MCI, Temsa, Grech, Turtle Top, Diamond, Starcraft, Blue Bird, Thomas Built, IC Bus, and more. Whether you need a 24-passenger shuttle for senior outings at Holiday City or a 54-seat coach for high school athletics, we can dispatch exactly what you request with custom amenity packages.

Charter bus pricing depends on several factors: trip distance, duration, bus size, time of year, and amenity requests. Short local shuttles within Berkeley or nearby towns may cost $1,100–$2,000 per day, while weekend weddings or sports charters could range from $2,400 to $3,500+. Peak season rates (April–June for proms/graduations, September–October for fall events) are higher due to demand. The best way to get an accurate quote is to call our office with your exact itinerary—once we know the pickup location, destination, headcount, and schedule, we’ll provide a flat-rate price.

The main factors are total mileage, number of service days, bus size/capacity, and timing. Longer trips (like charters to Atlantic City or NYC) cost more than short hops around Ocean County. Larger buses with premium amenities (Wi-Fi, lavatory, DVD screens) are priced higher than basic minibuses. Weekend and peak-season bookings carry a surcharge compared to midweek off-peak reservations. Additional charges may apply for overnight stays requiring hotel rooms for drivers, tolls on Garden State Parkway, or special requests like branded signage or luggage trailers.

Booking is simple: call our reservation line at 732-732-0215 or fill out the online quote form with your trip details. We’ll ask for pickup date/time, origin address, destination, return schedule, passenger count, and any specific amenity needs (Wi-Fi, USB ports, ADA accessibility). Within minutes you’ll receive a personalized quote. Review the contract, sign electronically, and submit a deposit to confirm. The remaining balance is due before departure. Our team will send driver contact info and tracking updates prior to arrival. Last-minute changes can be accommodated subject to availability.

Standard features include high-back reclining seats, climate control, reading lights, and overhead parcel racks. Most coaches have free Wi-Fi, 110V power outlets or USB charging at every row, flat-screen monitors with DVD/Blu-ray, PA system, and large underfloor luggage bays. Restrooms are included on 38+ foot models. Optional upgrades: individual tray tables, leather upholstery, hardwood-style flooring, seatbelts, bottle water coolers, and custom branding. ADA-accessible lifts available upon request. Premium packages offer HDMI inputs, amplified audio, and extra-wide spacing for comfort.

We serve every type of organization: school field trips to Popcorn Park Zoo, youth sports teams traveling for Little League tournaments, church retreats heading to Camp Zehnder, corporate employee shuttles for warehouses along Route 9, wedding party transportation between ceremony and reception sites, senior citizen excursions from retirement communities, political campaign tours, parade floats for local festivals, and emergency evacuation support during storm events. If you have a group that needs to move together on time, we have done it before and can handle it again.

We cover all of Ocean County including Bayville, Pine Beach, Beachwood, South Toms River, Lacey Township, Manchester, Forked River, and Barnegat. Regular routes extend to Tom River hospitals, Brick Township schools, Point Pleasant Beach boardwalk, Seaside Heights casinos, and Jackson Township sports complexes. Long-distance charters run anywhere in New Jersey, New York City boroughs, Philadelphia, Atlantic City, Cape May, Delaware beaches, and even out-of-state destinations like Boston or Washington DC. No trip is too short or too far—we go wherever you need us.

For instant quotes call 732-732-0215 anytime 24/7. Agents are standing by to assist with new reservations, changes to existing bookings, lost property inquiries, or special requests.

Most venues have designated bus zones: Central Regional High School uses the rear lot by athletic fields; Veteran’s Park allows staging near the amphitheater entrance; ShopRite plaza grants access behind loading docks; Gille Park has pull-through spaces by tennis courts. For residential pickups, we advise meeting at a nearby intersection or cul-de-sac if streets are narrow. Beaches and marinas permit drop-off loops but may restrict long-term parking during peak summer hours. Always check with your destination ahead of time to avoid citations or delays.

Quotes include the base rental fee covering driver wages, fuel, insurance, maintenance, and administrative costs. Gratuity is optional but appreciated for excellent service. Tolls on Garden State Parkway or New Jersey Turnpike are billed separately unless prepaid by client. Parking fees at stadiums, concert arenas, or city garages are the responsibility of the group organizer. Meals and lodging for driver required on overnight itineraries outside 100-mile radius. Everything is itemized upfront so you can budget accurately.

Match the vehicle size to your headcount plus a few extra seats for comfort. Small groups under 30 fit well in minibuses; larger assemblies need 40–56 passenger coaches. Request luggage space if carrying coolers, band equipment, or sports gear. Specify restroom and Wi-Fi needs for trips over one hour. ADA accessibility must be reserved in advance. Prioritize recliners and USB charging for youth travel. Corporate clients may want executive-style layouts with tables. Share your exact itinerary so we can recommend the most efficient and cost-effective option.
