Frequently Asked Questions About Coach Bus Rentals in Long Island

FAQS

Long Island Coach Bus Service has one of the largest fleets in New York, so you can rent almost any kind of bus you need. We offer 15- to 35-passenger minibuses from Grech Motors, Battisti Customs, Midwest Automotive Designs, LGE Coachworks, and Tiffany Coach Builders—perfect for small groups or local shuttles. Our full-size charter buses hold 40 to 56 passengers and come from top brands like MCI, Prevost, and Van Hool, with amenities like WiFi, power outlets, restrooms, and luggage bays. If you want something fun, we have party buses that seat 10 to 50 people, built by Krystal, Grech, Tiffany, LGE Coachworks, and Executive Coach Builders, with hardwood floors, wraparound seating, and built-in bars. We also offer 10- to 15-passenger sprinter vans and school buses for affordable group transportation. Whatever your itinerary, we have a bus that fits your needs and budget.

Long Island bus rental prices start at $145 per hour for a standard coach bus, $150 per hour for a minibus, $180 per hour for a party bus, and $160 per hour for a sprinter van. Daily rates range from $1,520 to $5,000+ depending on the vehicle size, features, and how far you’re traveling. We also offer per-mile pricing from $4.00 to $9.95 if you’re doing a long-distance trip, like going from Nassau County to Manhattan or out to Montauk. Every quote is custom, so the best way to get an exact price is to call us at 363-210-0280 or use our online tool. We’ll ask about your headcount, itinerary, and must-have amenities, then give you an all-inclusive rate in minutes.

The biggest factors are the size of the bus, the length of your trip, and when you’re traveling. Larger buses like 56-passenger coaches cost more than 20-passenger minibuses, and multi-day trips will be more expensive than a simple airport transfer. Peak season in Long Island is May through September, so expect higher rates for summer weddings, beach outings, or Hamptons weekends. If you’re booking last-minute or during a major event like the Belmont Stakes or Jones Beach concert, prices may be higher due to demand. Optional upgrades like onboard restrooms, extra luggage space, or premium A/V equipment can also affect your quote.

Booking a bus is easy and only takes a few minutes. Just call our reservation team at 363-210-0280 and tell us about your trip—where you’re going, how many people, what dates, and any special requests. We’ll build a custom quote based on your needs and send it to you by email or text. If you like what you see, you can sign the contract online and lock in your bus immediately. You can also get an instant quote through our website by entering your trip details into our online form. Either way, our team is available 24/7 to answer questions and help you find the perfect bus.

We offer a wide range of amenities depending on the type of bus you choose. Standard features include reclining seats, climate control, overhead storage, and PA systems. Most of our minibuses and charter buses have free WiFi, USB chargers, and flat-screen TVs with DVD players for entertainment. Full-size coaches can be equipped with onboard restrooms, hardwood floors, wraparound seating, LED lighting, Bluetooth sound systems, and coolers for drinks. Party buses add extras like dance poles, strobe lights, and bar areas. Sprinter vans are great for small groups and have comfortable bench seating, tinted windows, and rear luggage space. If you have specific requests, let us know—we can usually customize the bus to match your needs.

We handle every kind of group transportation you can imagine. Weddings are huge in Long Island, especially at venues in the Hamptons, North Fork vineyards, and Gold Coast mansions. Corporate clients use us for commuter shuttles between LIRR stations and office parks, conference transfers to places like the Nassau Coliseum or Suffolk County Community College, and team-building outings to Topgolf or Splish Splash. Schools book us for field trips to the Long Island Aquarium, Cradle of Aviation Museum, or NYC museums. Sports fans ride with us to Yankees, Mets, Islanders, and Giants games, as well as local high school playoffs.

You can also request a quote online by filling out our simple form with your pickup location, destination, date, and group size. Either way, you’ll get an instant price with no hidden fees or obligations.

Parking rules vary by town and venue, so it’s important to plan ahead. Many beaches and parks like Jones Beach, Robert Moses, and Eisenhower Park have designated bus parking areas, but they can fill up fast on weekends. Concert venues such as Northwell Health at Jones Beach Theater and Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum allow bus drop-offs and have oversized vehicle lots. In downtown areas like Huntington, Patchogue, or Port Jefferson, street parking is limited, so arrange for your bus to wait at a nearby lot or return after drop-off. For weddings or private events, check with the venue about bus access and staging areas. If you’re unsure, our team can help coordinate parking logistics based on your itinerary.

Your quote covers the cost of the bus, fuel, mileage, tolls, and standard amenities like WiFi, A/C, and onboard entertainment. There are no hidden fees or surprise charges—what you see is what you pay. Optional extras like additional luggage trailers, premium sound systems, or custom branding can be added for an additional cost. If your trip requires multiple days, overnight accommodations will be factored into the price. Gratuity is not included but always appreciated for exceptional service. If you have specific questions about what’s covered, just ask our team when you book.
