Booking a charter bus
Fill out the short form on this site — or call 732-732-0215 — and you go straight to a search results page on a national booking company's website. That booking company works with a network of independently owned operators serving Brick and the surrounding area. Right there on their site, you browse available vehicles with photos, amenities, and pricing for your actual trip, and you book the bus you want directly online.
What you're choosing is a vehicle and a price — the whole thing takes minutes.
Your pickup city, where you're going, how many people are riding, and how many hours you need the bus. That's enough to get you into the results page and see pricing. The more detail you add — your stops, exact start and end times, any luggage or oversized items, and amenities the group needs — the more accurate the quote comes back and the better the match you'll find for your trip.
Right away — there's no waiting on a callback. The moment you submit the form you go straight to the search results page and see quotes on the booking company's website. Pricing and vehicles are right there, immediately.
If you'd rather go through it with someone, call 732-732-0215 and a live agent can walk you through the options and help you put together the right package.
The earlier the better for a popular date, and the more specific your needs — a particular vehicle size, a specific color, a hard departure time — the further ahead you should go. That said, because Brickcharterbuscompany.com puts your request in front of a whole network of providers serving the Brick area rather than one operator with one lot, short-notice trips are often still workable. You're not calling a single company and being told the yard is empty.
Submit the request or call 732-732-0215 even on short notice — it's always worth checking what the network has available.
All of those can be requested. Hourly or as-directed keeps the vehicle with your group for a set block of time and works well when the itinerary has multiple stops or flexible timing. A one-way transfer moves the group from one point to another.
A round trip brings them back. A multi-stop itinerary runs a planned route with several stops built in — popular for winery loops, Atlantic City runs, or corporate shuttles between hotels and event venues. A multi-day booking covers a trip that runs across more than one day, like a school trip to Six Flags Great Adventure or a long-distance run to Washington, DC.
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 starting ranges — pricing is not one size fits all, and a number of things move a quote up or down from those figures. The range gives you a real planning baseline, but your actual price depends on the specific trip.
The fastest way to see what your trip costs is to fill out the form and get pricing for your actual dates and route in seconds. Or call 732-732-0215 — going through the trip with someone can surface better packages and pricing than you'd find on your own.
It depends on the trip, and all three are used. A short run of a couple of hours — say, a group pickup in Brick for a round trip to PNC Bank Arts Center in Holmdel — is usually priced hourly. A trip that covers real distance, roughly past the 100-to-200-mile mark or heading well out of the area, may carry a per-mile charge rather than stacked hourly rates.
A long day, generally around eight hours or more, often comes back as a day rate simply because the vehicle is booked for most of the day. Which structure applies comes down to your actual itinerary — submit the trip details and the quote reflects the right format for your route.
The type and size of bus, how long it's booked for, the day of the week, the date, the distance and route, the number of stops, and how busy that particular date is locally all move the number. Sunday through Thursday prices lower than Friday and Saturday. Daytime prices lower than those same nights.
Booking the size the group actually needs — rather than over-booking capacity just to have extra room — keeps the quote where it should be. And grouping riders into one or two pickup points instead of spreading them across five separate stops cuts the hours on the clock. In Brick specifically, summer weekends along the Shore corridor and MetLife Stadium concert dates pull heavy demand across the whole region, so those windows price higher and book earlier than a Tuesday in February.
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's 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 bus, and the itinerary is set around where the group needs to go.
Outside, it's a full-size coach body — long, with high windows running the length of the vehicle and luggage bay doors along the lower panels. The exterior is usually finished in white, silver, black, or a solid color, though some coaches are wrapped in an operator's own graphics, so the coach that shows up will not always look identical to a photo. Inside, the seats run forward-facing in pairs on either side of a center aisle.
Seat material may be cloth or leather depending on the make and model — the Prevost H3-45 and Van Hool CX45 often come with leather in higher-spec builds, while the MCI J4500 is commonly found in cloth. Overhead racks run the full length of the cabin, and a restroom sits toward the rear. The interior is finished and climate-controlled, with the feel of a long-haul coach rather than a transit bus.
Some of the amenities available on charter buses include reclining cloth or leather seats, individual climate controls, onboard restrooms, overhead parcel racks and undercarriage baggage bays, WiFi, power outlets and USB charging ports, a PA system with microphone, and TV monitors. Features may vary by make, model, and operator — no specific vehicle is guaranteed to carry every item on that list, and the exact amenities on any given coach are confirmed during booking. If there are amenities the group needs — WiFi, power at every seat, an onboard restroom — note them with the trip details when you submit the request, and that narrows which vehicles come back in the results.
Generally 40 to 56 passengers, depending on the make and model, with 56 the most common configuration 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 or a wheelchair position each take seats out of the total. Because Brickcharterbuscompany.com works with a network of providers, the exact coach on any given trip depends on what's available for your date and route. Submit the trip or call 732-732-0215 if the group needs a specific capacity confirmed.
A 56-passenger coach runs 14 rows, with two seats on each side of a center aisle — forward-facing, paired seating, one aisle down the middle. That layout is consistent across the standard full-size coaches. The row count drops on coaches configured with extra legroom or a wheelchair position, since those take space out of the seating area.
Some coaches also tier the front rows slightly for a better sightline down the aisle.
A full-size charter bus is 45 feet long and 8.5 feet wide. A useful way to picture it: roughly three cars parked end to end. That's the measurement that matters when a group is planning drop-off at a venue with a tight approach or a narrow loading lane.
Shorter coaches exist — most commonly around 35 feet — and those give more flexibility on constrained routes. 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 for 12 feet as the standard clearance. A practical way to picture it: a little taller than a single story of a house. That's the measurement that matters when a group is planning a route through a parking structure or under a low overpass.
The 12-foot clearance figure is what to check against posted limits on any structure the route passes through.
WiFi is one of the amenities available on charter buses, and many coaches on the road today are equipped with it. The accurate point worth knowing: onboard WiFi is an equipment option a coach is built with rather than something every coach carries, so whether a given vehicle has it varies by make, model, and operator. And on the performance side — onboard WiFi runs off a cellular connection and is built for light use across a full coach.
Phones, messaging, and browsing work well. It is not built for 50 or 60 people doing heavy data work simultaneously. If WiFi matters for the group, note it with the trip details when you submit the request, and that filters toward coaches equipped with it.
Yes — an onboard restroom is standard on full-size charter buses. It sits toward the rear of the coach. The honest expectation: it's there so the group doesn't have to stop, and on a longer run the trip is still usually planned with real rest stops built in.
If an onboard restroom is important for the group — a long haul down to Cape May or a multi-day trip — note it with the trip details when you submit the request so it's confirmed on the vehicle that comes back.
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 — a trip to MetLife Stadium or a full day in New York City — without anyone running low.
Note it with the trip details if the group needs power at every seat, and that narrows which vehicles come back in the results.
Yes — in two places. Overhead parcel racks run the full length of the cabin inside the coach, and undercarriage baggage bays run along the lower panels 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 underneath and under 2 cubic feet overhead — in practice, about one checked-size bag each below plus one small carry-on above. What changes that: a coach fitted with a wheelchair lift gives up some baggage bay space, and bulky gear like instruments, sports equipment, or event supplies takes the space of several standard bags. A group heading from Brick to a tournament, a beach trip to Long Beach Island, or a multi-day run to Hersheypark with everyone's luggage should state the bags and any oversized items with the trip details when submitting the request, so the right coach is matched to the load.
Charter bus service in Brick, New Jersey
Any group that needs to move together — and that covers a wide range of trips. Airport transfers to Newark Liberty, Philadelphia, or Atlantic City are among the most common. Corporate travel and employee shuttles move teams between offices, conference sites, and hotels without splitting the group into separate cars.

Government and military moves, winery and brewery tours through Ocean County and the Cape May wine region, prom and homecoming, and long-distance travel to New York City, Washington DC, and beyond are all part of what the network handles.
The network serves Brick and the surrounding Ocean County and Monmouth County region. Nearby cities include Toms River, Point Pleasant, Lakewood, Jackson, Wall Township, Neptune, and Barnegat — those are examples, not a complete list. Long-distance routes reach New York City, Philadelphia, Atlantic City, and destinations well beyond New Jersey.

Prom season is the single busiest stretch of the year — April and May, when Brick Memorial High School, Brick Township High School, and the surrounding Ocean County districts all schedule their dances within a few weeks of each other. Graduation follows in May and June. Summer shore season from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day fills the Garden State Parkway corridor and pulls heavy demand across the whole region.
MetLife Stadium concert dates — major summer tours book out the surrounding bus market fast. PNC Bank Arts Center's summer season runs June through September. New Year's Eve Atlantic City runs and NYC trips go early.
Wedding season peaks June through September. And Six Flags Great Adventure school trip season in April and May adds another layer of pressure on the same spring window. On those dates, the local market gets taken early — book well ahead.
That said, short-notice requests are still worth submitting, because Brickcharterbuscompany.com is putting the request in front of a whole network of providers rather than one operator.
Planning your Brick, New Jersey charter bus trip
The three airports groups travel to most often from Brick are Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR), about 60 to 75 miles north via the Garden State Parkway and NJ Turnpike with a drive time of roughly 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 45 minutes; Philadelphia International Airport (PHL), about 80 miles southwest via I-195 and I-295 with a drive time of roughly 1 hour 30 minutes to 2 hours; and Atlantic City International Airport (ACY), about 45 miles south via the Parkway with a drive time of roughly 45 to 55 minutes. For arrivals, the coach meets the group outside the terminal at the spot that airport designates for buses and larger vehicles, following that airport's own ground transportation guidelines. Gather the full group and all luggage before calling the bus forward — that keeps curbside time tight and the pickup clean.
The venues groups travel to most from Brick include MetLife Stadium (1 MetLife Stadium Dr, East Rutherford, NJ 07073), home of the Giants and Jets and the region's largest concert venue, about 75 miles north with a drive time of roughly 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 45 minutes; Prudential Center (25 Lafayette St, Newark, NJ 07102), home of the NJ Devils and Seton Hall basketball, about 65 miles north; PNC Bank Arts Center (116 NJ-9, Holmdel, NJ 07733), a major outdoor amphitheater about 35 miles north with a drive time of roughly 40 to 55 minutes; and Citizens Bank Park (1 Citizens Bank Way, Philadelphia, PA 19148), home of the Phillies, about 80 miles southwest. At MetLife Stadium, charter buses use designated charter bus lots — pre-arranged parking passes are required and day-of parking is not guaranteed, so those arrangements go with the booking. Traffic patterns change significantly around events at all of these venues, so build extra time into the departure window on game and concert nights.
The major convention and event venues the network serves from Brick include the Atlantic City Convention Center (1 Convention Blvd, Atlantic City, NJ 08401), about 45 miles south via the Garden State Parkway with a drive time of roughly 45 to 55 minutes, which hosts major trade shows and conventions throughout the year; the casino resort event spaces along the Atlantic City boardwalk and Marina District — Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa (1 Borgata Way, Atlantic City, NJ 08401) being the largest; and regional venues in Ocean County including facilities in Toms River. Large venues like the Atlantic City Convention Center have designated bus loading areas separate from the main entrance. A repeat shuttle between a hotel block and a convention venue — say, hotel pickups in Brick or Toms River with multiple runs to Atlantic City across a conference day — should have its full schedule laid out with the request so it comes back timed and priced correctly.
Yes, any wedding venue in the area. Real venues groups travel to from Brick include Bonnet Island Estate (2400 E Bay Ave, Manahawkin, NJ 08050), a waterfront island venue about 20 miles south that draws guests from across Ocean County; Laurita Winery (85 Archertown Rd, New Egypt, NJ 08533), a winery and event venue about 20 miles northwest; Shadowbrook at Shrewsbury (1 Obre Pl, Shrewsbury, NJ 07702), about 30 miles north; and The Oyster Point Hotel (146 Bodman Pl, Red Bank, NJ 07701), a waterfront hotel venue about 35 miles north. The most common setup is shuttling guests between a hotel block and the venue — guests park once and the bus handles the rest of the day.
Giving the exact venue address with the request gets the right vehicle matched to the route, including whether the approach road and parking area can accommodate a full-size coach or calls for a minibus.
The school districts and campuses the network serves from Brick include Brick Township Public Schools, with Brick Memorial High School (2001 Lanes Mill Rd, Brick, NJ 08724) and Brick Township High School (346 Chambersbridge Rd, Brick, NJ 08723) as the two main high school campuses; Ocean County College (1 College Dr, Toms River, NJ 08754), about 8 miles west; Georgian Court University (900 Lakewood Ave, Lakewood, NJ 08701), about 10 miles northwest; Monmouth University (400 Cedar Ave, West Long Branch, NJ 07764), about 30 miles north; and Rutgers University–New Brunswick (57 US-1, New Brunswick, NJ 08901), about 50 miles north. Field trips and team travel are typically pickups at the school or campus itself. Campuses have designated bus loading zones, and student trips should include the exact headcount plus any chaperone or accessibility needs with the request so the right size vehicle comes back.
The stops groups make most often from Brick include Icarus Brewing (2045 NJ-88, Brick Township, NJ 08724), a short drive from most of Brick; ManaFirkin Brewing Company (450 East Bay Ave, Manahawkin, NJ 08050), about 20 miles south; Laurita Winery, about 20 miles northwest; and the Atlantic City casino corridor — Borgata, Caesars, Harrah's, Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City, and Ocean Casino Resort — about 45 miles south via the Garden State Parkway with a drive time of roughly 45 to 55 minutes. The Asbury Park boardwalk and bar district is about 25 miles north and a popular multi-stop nightlife run. A multi-stop loop — Icarus to Laurita to a dinner stop, or a casino run with a boardwalk start — is timed by how long the group stays at each location.
List the stops and how long the group plans to spend at each one when you submit the request, and the quote comes back with the hours right.
Yes. Long-distance destinations groups travel to regularly from Brick include New York City at roughly 85 miles north with a drive time of about 1 hour 30 minutes to 2 hours; Philadelphia at roughly 80 miles southwest with a drive time of about 1 hour 20 minutes to 1 hour 45 minutes; Washington, DC at roughly 160 miles southwest with a drive time of about 3 hours; Six Flags Great Adventure (1 Six Flags Blvd, Jackson, NJ 08527), just about 15 miles northwest with a drive time of roughly 20 minutes — the closest major theme park and a perennial school trip destination; Hersheypark (100 W Hersheypark Dr, Hershey, PA 17033) at roughly 165 miles west with a drive time of about 2 hours 45 minutes; and Boston at roughly 280 miles northeast with a drive time of about 4 hours 30 minutes. A long-distance trip is typically booked as a one-way transfer or a multi-day trip rather than by the hour.
Overnight trips need the full itinerary — stops, timing, and overnight location — laid out with the request so it comes back priced correctly.
