No. Busrentalbloomfield.com is a comparison and referral website. In practical terms, that means you use it to compare vehicles and pricing from a network of independently owned bus companies serving Bloomfield and the surrounding area. You fill out one form or make one call, see your options on a national booking platform, and book the vehicle that fits your trip.
The transportation itself is carried out by independent operators — Busrentalbloomfield.com is the easy way to find and compare them, not the company that shows up with the bus.
When you search on your own, you call one company, get one price, and find out whether they have anything available on your date. With Busrentalbloomfield.com, you fill out one form or make one call to 862-333-0605 and instantly see vehicles and pricing from a whole network of bus companies serving Bloomfield — more options and more price points than any single operator can offer. Companies compete for the booking, which means you are not stuck with whatever one yard happens to have open.
That is time saved and money saved, without the runaround.
An independently owned transportation company serving Bloomfield. Once you fill out a quote, you head to a national booking platform where you choose the vehicle that suits your trip — the size, the amenities, the price. What you are selecting there is a vehicle and a package, not picking a company off a list.
The transportation company confirmed to your booking is the one that handles your trip. The platform works with a network of operators serving the Bloomfield area so there is more than one option on any given date.
Booking a Charter Bus
Fill out the form on this page or call 862-333-0605, and you are taken directly to a search results page on a national booking company's website. That booking company partners with independently owned operators serving Bloomfield and the surrounding area. Right there on their website, you see available vehicles with photos and trip-specific pricing — what you are choosing is a vehicle and a price, not a company.
Book the bus you want directly on their site, all in minutes, with no account required.
Your pickup city, where you are going, how many people are riding, and how many hours you need the bus. That is enough to get started. The more detail you give — your stops along the route, your start and end times, how much luggage the group is bringing, and any amenities the trip needs like WiFi or an onboard restroom — the more accurate the quote comes back and the better the match you will find for your trip.
Right away — there is no waiting on a callback. As soon as you submit the form you go straight to the search results page and see quotes from the national booking platform immediately. No phone tag, no waiting until the next business day.
If you would rather go through it with someone, call 862-333-0605 and a live agent can walk you through the options and put together a package around your itinerary.
The earlier the better on a popular date — a specific vehicle or a large group goes further ahead. That said, because Busrentalbloomfield.com puts your request in front of a whole network of providers serving the Bloomfield area rather than one operator with one yard, short-notice trips are often still workable. That is the real advantage of comparing a network instead of calling a single company and being told no.
If your date is coming up fast, submit the request or call 862-333-0605 anyway — it is always worth checking what is available.
All of those can be requested. Hourly or as-directed keeps the vehicle with your group for a block of time so you can move between stops on your own schedule. A one-way transfer moves the group from one place to another.
A round trip brings everyone back to the starting point. A multi-stop itinerary runs a set route with several stops along the way — a brewery crawl through Clifton and Carlstadt, for example, or a shuttle loop between a Bloomfield hotel and a venue in West Orange. A multi-day booking covers a trip that runs across more than one day.
Which format fits depends on the trip itself, and a multi-stop or overnight itinerary should be laid out in full with 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. Pricing is not one size fits all — the type and size of bus, the date, the distance, and how busy that date is locally all move the number, so the ranges above are a starting point rather than your price. The fastest way to see what your specific trip actually costs is to fill out the form and see pricing in seconds.
Or call 862-333-0605 — going through the trip with someone can surface better pricing and packages than you would find on your own.
It depends on the trip, and all three structures are used. A short trip of a couple of hours is usually priced hourly. A trip that runs long distance — roughly past the 100 to 200 mile mark, or heading well out of the area, like a run from Bloomfield down to Atlantic City or up to the Catskills — may carry a per-mile charge instead of a stacked hourly rate.
And a long day, generally around eight hours or more, often comes back as a day rate because the vehicle is booked for so much of the day. Submitting the actual trip is what determines which structure applies to your booking.
Six things move the price: the type and size of bus, how long it is booked for, the day of the week and the date, the distance and the route, the number of stops, and how busy that date is in the Bloomfield market. Sunday through Thursday prices lower than Friday and Saturday. Daytime trips price lower than those same evenings.
Booking the size the group actually needs beats over-booking capacity on a larger coach. And grouping riders into one or two pickup points — say, one hotel in Bloomfield rather than five separate addresses scattered across Essex County — cuts the hours on the clock before the trip even starts. Dates like prom weekends in May, NJ wedding season in June and September, and MetLife Stadium concert nights in summer tighten the whole North Jersey market, so those dates go earlier and cost more.
About Charter Buses
A charter bus is a full-size passenger coach that a group hires for its own trip, with its own route and schedule, rather than riding a fixed public route. It is built for moving a large group over a distance in one vehicle and seats roughly 40 to 56 people depending on the make and model. The group sets the pickup point, the destination, and the timing — the coach runs that trip and nothing else.
Outside, a full-size charter bus is a tall, wide coach body with high tinted windows running the length of both sides and luggage bay doors along the bottom skirt. The exterior is usually finished in white, silver, black, or a solid color, and some coaches are wrapped in an operator's own graphics, so the vehicle that shows up will not always look the same. Inside, you will find forward-facing seats arranged in pairs on either side of a center aisle — cloth or leather depending on the make and model.
Overhead parcel racks run the full length of the cabin. A restroom sits toward the rear. Popular full-size coaches include the MCI J4500, the Van Hool CX45, and the Prevost H3-45, all of which share this general layout with variations in seat finish, monitor placement, and storage configuration.
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, 110-volt power outlets and USB charging ports, a PA system, and flat-screen TV monitors. Features may vary by make, model, and the specific vehicle assigned to your booking, so not every coach carries every item on that list. If a particular amenity matters to your group — WiFi for a corporate run up to a conference in Midtown, or an onboard restroom for a long trip down the Parkway to Atlantic City — note it with your trip details so the right vehicles come back.
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, up to 60.
The Prevost H3-45 also seats 56. Shorter 35-foot coaches seat closer to 44. What changes the count on the same coach is configuration: extra legroom between rows or a wheelchair position each take seats out of the total.
Because Busrentalbloomfield.com works with a network of providers, the exact coach on any given trip depends on what is available for your date. Submit the trip or call 862-333-0605 if the group needs a specific passenger capacity confirmed.
A standard 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 is the layout to picture: 14 rows, four seats across, a single aisle. The row count drops on coaches configured with extra legroom or a wheelchair position, and some coaches tier the front rows slightly.
Those configurations vary by vehicle.
A full-size charter bus is 45 feet long and 8.5 feet wide. To put that in terms most people can picture: roughly three cars parked end to end. That is the number to have in mind when you are working out whether a coach fits a particular loading zone or driveway — three car lengths of vehicle needs a corresponding amount of clearance to pull in and out cleanly.
Shorter coaches exist, most commonly around 35 feet, and are worth considering when a venue or pickup point is tight. 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. Traffic engineers design overhead clearances for 12 feet, so that is the practical ceiling to check against. In everyday terms, a full-size charter bus is a little taller than a single story of a house — the number that matters when a venue has a covered entrance, a parking garage approach, or a low bridge on the route.
If a stop on the itinerary has a height restriction, note it with the trip details.
WiFi is one of the amenities available on charter buses, and many coaches on the road are equipped with it. One thing worth knowing before the trip: onboard WiFi runs off a cellular connection and is built for light use across a full coach — phones, messaging, and browsing — not for fifty or sixty people running video calls or large file transfers at once. It is also an equipment option a coach is built with rather than something every coach carries, so whether a given vehicle has it varies.
If WiFi matters for your group — a corporate shuttle between Bloomfield and Midtown, or a team trip where people need to stay connected — note it with your trip details so the right vehicles come back.
Yes, an onboard restroom is standard on full-size charter buses. It sits toward the rear of the coach. The honest expectation: it is there so the group does not have to stop, and on a longer run — say, Bloomfield down to Atlantic City on the Parkway, or a multi-day trip out of state — the itinerary is still usually planned with real rest stops built in.
If an onboard restroom is important for your trip, note it with your details when you request the quote.
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 — useful on a corporate shuttle to Newark or a day trip into the city. If the group needs power at every seat, note it with your trip details so that narrows the vehicles that come back.
Yes, in two places: overhead parcel racks inside the coach and undercarriage baggage bays 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.
A few things change that math: 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. If the group is traveling with oversized items or especially heavy luggage — a team traveling with equipment, or a group heading out for a multi-day trip — state that with the trip details so the right coach is matched to what you are bringing.

Planning Your Bloomfield, New Jersey Charter Bus Trip
Yes — all three major airports serving the New York metro area. Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) is the closest at approximately 9 miles southeast of Bloomfield, about 20–30 minutes off-peak via Route 21 or I-78, and 45–60 minutes or more during rush hour. LaGuardia Airport (LGA) is approximately 20 miles east, 35–60 minutes via Route 3 to the Grand Central Parkway.
John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) is approximately 30 miles southeast, 45–75 minutes depending on traffic via the NJ Turnpike. For pickups, the coach meets your group outside the terminal at the ground transportation area that airport designates for buses and larger vehicles, following that airport's own guidelines. Have your whole group together with all luggage before calling the bus forward — that is what keeps the pickup moving cleanly.
Yes — and the stadiums closest to Bloomfield are some of the biggest in the country. MetLife Stadium (1 MetLife Stadium Dr, East Rutherford, NJ 07073), approximately 15 miles southwest via Route 3, is home to the NY Giants and NY Jets and hosts the biggest concert tours of the summer. Prudential Center (25 Lafayette St, Newark, NJ 07102), approximately 5 miles south, is home to the NJ Devils and Seton Hall basketball.
Red Bull Arena (600 Cape May St, Harrison, NJ 07029), approximately 7 miles south, is home to the NY Red Bulls. Yankee Stadium in the Bronx and Madison Square Garden in Midtown are both within an hour. On event days, traffic patterns around all of these venues change significantly — build extra time into the itinerary, and note the event with your trip details so the route and timing are planned accordingly.
Yes — and the region around Bloomfield has significant convention and event infrastructure. The Meadowlands Exposition Center (355 Plaza Dr, Secaucus, NJ 07094), approximately 12 miles southwest, handles trade shows and consumer expos year-round. The New Jersey Convention and Exposition Center (97 Sunfield Ave, Edison, NJ 08837) is approximately 30 miles south via the Garden State Parkway.
NJPAC (1 Center St, Newark, NJ 07102), approximately 5 miles south, is the premier performing arts venue in the state. Large venues have designated bus loading areas separate from the main guest entrance, and a repeat shuttle between a hotel and a convention venue — say, morning and evening runs between a Bloomfield hotel and a Secaucus expo — 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. Some of the most popular venues Essex County couples use include Nanina's in the Park (540 Mill St, Belleville, NJ 07109) right on the Branch Brook Park grounds just a couple of miles from Bloomfield, The Manor (111 Prospect Ave, West Orange, NJ 07052) approximately 5 miles southwest, Pleasantdale Chateau (757 Eagle Rock Ave, West Orange, NJ 07052) nearby, Macaluso's (55 Fourth Avenue, Hawthorne, NJ 07506) in Hawthorne, and The Westmount Country Club (1 Westmount Dr, Woodland Park, NJ 07424) approximately 8 miles northwest. Shuttling guests between a hotel block and the venue is the most common wedding setup, and giving the exact venue address with the request gets the right vehicle matched to the route and the guest count.
Yes — and Bloomfield sits in the middle of a dense concentration of schools at every level. Bloomfield High School (160 Broad St, Bloomfield, NJ 07003) and the Bloomfield Public Schools district are right in town. Bloomfield College (467 Franklin St, Bloomfield, NJ 07003), now part of Montclair State University, is a campus in the heart of the township.
Montclair State University (1 Normal Ave, Montclair, NJ 07043) is approximately 5 miles northwest. Seton Hall University (400 S Orange Ave, South Orange, NJ 07079) and Rutgers University–Newark (249 University Ave, Newark, NJ 07102) are both within 5 miles south. 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 when you submit the request.
Yes — and there is a lot to work with close to home. Magnify Brewing (1275 Bloomfield Ave, Building 7, Unit 40C, Fairfield, NJ 07004) is in Fairfield — a popular taproom that makes a natural first stop. Bolero Snort Brewery (316 20th Street, Carlstadt, NJ 07072) is in Carlstadt and pairs well with a loop that includes the Meadowlands area.
The Hoboken bar district on Washington Street is approximately 12 miles east and one of the most popular nightlife destinations for Essex County groups. For a bigger trip, Atlantic City — the Borgata, Hard Rock, Harrah's, Ocean Casino — is approximately 90 miles south, about an hour and a half down the Garden State Parkway. NJ wine country in Monmouth County is approximately 45 miles south.
A multi-stop route is timed by how long the group stays at each location, so listing your stops and approximate time at each one gets the hours right and the price accurate.
Yes. Groups travel from Bloomfield to destinations all across the Northeast and beyond. Common long-distance runs include Washington, D.C. (approximately 240 miles south, 4–5 hours via the NJ Turnpike and I-95), Boston (approximately 220 miles northeast, 4–5 hours), Philadelphia (approximately 90 miles south, 1.5–2 hours), Atlantic City (approximately 90 miles south, 1.5 hours via the Garden State Parkway), and Niagara Falls (approximately 370 miles northwest, 6–7 hours).
Theme parks like Walt Disney World in Orlando and Hersheypark in Pennsylvania are popular multi-day destinations. A long-distance trip is usually booked as a one-way transfer or a multi-day package rather than by the hour, and overnight trips need the full itinerary laid out with the request so the booking comes back timed and priced correctly.
