Charter Bus & Minibus Rentals in Jackson

A charter bus is a large motorcoach that you can rent for private group transportation anywhere in New Jersey. Unlike NJ Transit or Greyhound, which run fixed routes on set schedules, charter buses travel wherever and whenever your group needs—whether it’s a day trip to Six Flags Great Adventure, a wedding shuttle to The Stone Terrace, or a corporate outing to Liberty Science Center. The entire vehicle is reserved for your party only, so you choose the pickup points, itinerary, and amenities.

We have one of the largest fleets in Ocean County with minibuses (18–35 passengers), full-size charter buses (47–56 passengers), entertainer coaches for band tours, and specialty vehicles like Grech sprinter shuttles or executive VIP coaches. All major brands are represented including Prevost, Van Hool, MCI, Temsa, Setra, Blue Bird, Collins, IC Bus, Starcraft, Turtle Top, Champion, Diamond, Grech, ElDorado, Thomas Built, Girardin, Trans Tech, Forest River, Berkshire, Ameritrans, Goshen, Glaval, and more. We can dispatch any size bus to Jackson, Lakewood, Toms River, Freehold, or anywhere else in Central Jersey.

Bus rental prices in Jackson typically range from $175 to $325 per hour depending on vehicle size, trip length, and season. Minibuses start around $1,200–$1,800 per day while 56-passenger coaches average $2,000–$3,500 for most local charters. Weekend weddings in June or July cost more than midweek corporate shuttles in February.

Major factors include total mileage, number of days/hours booked, bus size/type, time of year, and whether the trip is one-way or overnight. Peak demand periods like summer camp season or holiday weekends may increase rates. Extra amenities such as Wi-Fi, USB charging ports, or custom branding are usually included but special requests (e.g., all-leather seats) could add cost. Driver lodging and meals are required for multi-day itineraries beyond 150 miles from base.

Standard features on most coaches include reclining cloth seats, individual reading lights, climate control, overhead luggage racks, underfloor storage bays, PA system, and DVD monitors. Many models offer free Wi-Fi, 110V power outlets or USB chargers at every row, restroom with toilet and sink, plus three-point seatbelts. Premium options have high-back leatherette seats, hardwood-style flooring, flat-screen TVs, Bluetooth audio, refreshment station, and rear emergency exit. ADA-accessible lifts available upon request.

We serve every type of group imaginable: school field trips to Jenkinson’s Aquarium, youth sports teams traveling to AAU tournaments, church retreats at America’s Keswick, summer camp transportation for YMCA or Girl Scouts, wedding shuttles between ceremony and reception venues, corporate employee commuter routes, political campaign tours, college campus circulators for Georgian Court University, senior citizen outings to Atlantic City casinos, and film production crew moves.

We also regularly dispatch buses to Monmouth County (Freehold, Howell, Marlboro), Mercer County (Trenton, Hamilton), Middlesex County (Old Bridge, East Brunswick), and Burlington County (Mount Holly, Medford).

Yes, most of our fleet comes equipped with free Wi-Fi hotspots and either 110V electrical outlets or USB charging ports at every seat row. This allows passengers to stay connected, stream music, watch videos, or recharge devices during the trip. If having internet access is critical for your group, please specify when booking so we can ensure placement of a Wi-Fi-enabled unit.

Absolutely. We handle multi-day charters for overnight school trips, out-of-state sports tournaments, band tour loops, and corporate retreats. The bus will stay with your group for the duration, following your schedule from hotel to event venues and back. For extended itineraries, you may need to provide lodging for the driver each night (typically a separate room at the same hotel).

Non-alcoholic beverages and packaged snacks are permitted on all buses. Please avoid messy foods that could stain upholstery (e.g., ice cream, chili). Large coolers should be stored in the luggage bay, not the aisle. Alcohol is allowed only with prior approval and proof that all passengers are over 21; additional cleaning deposit may be required. Remove all trash before leaving the bus to avoid extra fees.

You can cancel or modify your reservation by contacting our office as soon as possible. Cancellations made more than 14 days before departure may receive a partial refund minus administrative fees. Changes to date, time, or itinerary are subject to availability and may result in a price adjustment. Last-minute cancellations less than 72 hours prior are generally non-refundable but we will work with you to reschedule if possible.

No, driver gratuity is not included in the base quote. It is customary to tip the driver 10–20% of the total charter cost for excellent service. Tips can be given in cash at the end of the trip or added to the final invoice upon request. Gratuities are greatly appreciated but not mandatory.
