Booking a charter bus
Fill out the quick form on this page — or call 914-543-9320 — and you are taken straight to a search results page on a national booking company's website. That booking company partners with independently owned operators serving the Mount Vernon area, and right there on their website you can browse available vehicles, see trip-specific pricing, and book the bus you want. What you are choosing on that results page is a vehicle and a price.
The whole thing takes minutes, and no account is required to see your options!
Your pickup city, where you are going, how many people are riding, and roughly how many hours you need the bus. That gets you a quote in seconds. The more detail you add — your stops, exact start and end times, how much luggage the group is bringing, and any specific amenities like WiFi or an onboard restroom — the more accurate the pricing comes back and the better your chances of finding the exact vehicle that fits your trip.
More detail in means a better match out!
Right away — there is no waiting on a callback. The moment you submit the form, you go straight to the search results page on the national booking platform and see available buses and pricing for your trip immediately. No sitting by the phone, no following up.
If you would rather talk through your options with someone, call 914-543-9320 and a live agent will pull up your choices on the spot!
The earlier the better for a popular date, and a larger group or a specific vehicle type is worth booking further out. That said, because Mountvernoncharterbuscompany.com puts your request in front of a whole network of transportation providers serving the Mount Vernon area rather than one operator with one yard, short-notice trips are often still very workable — that is the real advantage of comparing a network instead of calling a single company and being told they are booked. Submit your request or call 914-543-9320 even if the date is close.
You might be surprised what is available, and there is no harm in checking!
All of those can be requested, and which one fits depends entirely on your trip. An hourly or as-directed booking keeps the vehicle with your group for a set block of time — great for events where the schedule might shift. A one-way transfer moves the group from one place to another and ends there.
A round trip brings everyone back. A multi-stop itinerary runs a set route with several pickup or drop points in sequence. A multi-day booking covers a trip that runs across more than one day, like a long-distance run to Washington, D.C. or a group trip to Atlantic City.
If your trip involves multiple stops or an overnight, lay the full itinerary out with your request so the quote comes back timed and 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 the planning ranges — pricing is not one-size-fits-all, and a number of factors move a quote up or down, so the range is a starting point rather than your price. The fastest way to see what your specific trip costs is to fill out the form and see pricing for your actual dates and route in seconds.
Or call 914-543-9320 — going through the trip with someone can surface better packages and pricing than you would find searching on your own!
It depends on the trip, and all three structures are used. A short trip of a couple of hours is typically priced hourly. A trip that covers significant distance — roughly past the 100-to-200-mile mark, or heading well out of the Westchester area toward Boston or Washington, D.C. — may carry a per-mile charge instead of stacked hours.
And a long day, generally around eight hours or more, often comes back as a flat day rate simply because the vehicle is booked for so much of the day. Which structure applies to your trip is determined by the actual route and duration. Submit your trip details and the quote comes back in the right format!
The type and size of bus, how long it is booked for, the day of the week, the date, the distance and route, the number of stops, and how busy that date is locally all push the number up or down. Sunday through Thursday prices lower than Friday and Saturday; daytime trips cost less than those same evenings. Booking the size the group actually needs beats over-booking capacity.
And consolidating riders into one or two pickup points in Mount Vernon instead of five separate stops cuts the hours on the clock — which cuts the price. Busy dates in the area, like Yankees home games at Yankee Stadium, prom weekends at Mount Vernon High School, or graduation season at Iona University and Sarah Lawrence College, tighten availability across the whole Westchester market, so those dates book at higher rates and earlier. The more specific your trip details, the more accurately the quote comes back!
About charter buses
A charter bus is a full-size passenger coach that a group hires for its own trip — with its own route, its own schedule, and no other passengers sharing the ride. It is built for moving a large group over a distance in one vehicle, rather than riding a fixed public route. A full-size charter bus seats roughly 40 to 56 people, and the group goes where it needs to go, on the timeline it sets.
On the outside, a full-size charter bus is a tall, long coach body with high windows running the length of both sides and luggage bay doors along the lower panels. 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 coach that shows up will not always look the same from one trip to the next. Inside, you get forward-facing seats in pairs on either side of a center aisle, upholstered in cloth or leather depending on the make and model.
Overhead parcel racks run the full length of the cabin, and a restroom sits toward the rear. Common models you might ride include the MCI J4500, the Van Hool CX45, and the Prevost H3-45 — all full-size 45-foot coaches built around the same basic layout, with variations in seat material, window profile, and interior finish.
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-panel TV monitors. Features may include any of the above depending on the make, model, and specific vehicle — never every coach carries every option, and which features a given bus has is confirmed during booking. If there are amenities that matter to your group — WiFi for a corporate run, power outlets for a long trip to Boston, or an onboard restroom for an overnight charter — note them 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 build 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 the configuration: extra legroom between rows or a wheelchair position each take seats out of the total.
Because Mountvernoncharterbuscompany.com works with a network of providers serving the Mount Vernon area, the exact coach on any given trip depends on what is available for your date. Submit your trip or call 914-543-9320 if the group needs a specific passenger capacity!
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. The row count drops on coaches configured with extra legroom between rows or a wheelchair position, since both take space that would otherwise hold a full row. Some coaches also tier the front rows slightly for a better sightline over the rows ahead.
The layout is consistent across major models; the details vary by build.
A full-size charter bus is 45 feet long and 8.5 feet wide. If you are trying to picture it, that is roughly three cars parked end to end — which is the reason people ask, because they are working out whether one fits somewhere. Shorter coaches exist, most commonly around 35 feet, and those seat closer to 44 passengers.
The 45-foot coach is the standard full-size vehicle you will see most often.
A full-size charter bus stands about 11 to 12 feet tall depending on the model, and traffic engineers design overhead clearances for 12 feet. If you are checking whether a bus fits under a parking structure, a hotel porte-cochère, or a venue canopy, 12 feet is the number to verify against. A useful comparison: a full-size coach is a little taller than one story of a house.
That is the reason clearance matters, and it is worth confirming for any venue with a covered entrance before the trip.
WiFi is one of the amenities available on charter buses, and many coaches on the road today are equipped with it. The accurate point to know: 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 for a group heading from Mount Vernon to a long-distance destination — say, a corporate run to Washington, D.C. or a university group trip to Boston — it is worth setting the right expectation: onboard WiFi runs off a cellular connection and is built for light use across a full coach, meaning phones, messaging, and browsing rather than fifty or sixty people running video calls at once.
If the group needs it, note WiFi with your trip details so vehicles that have it come back in the results!
Yes — an onboard restroom is standard on full-size charter buses, and it sits toward the rear of the coach. It is there so the group does not have to stop every hour, and on longer runs — like a trip from Mount Vernon up to Niagara Falls or down to Philadelphia — the trip is still typically planned with real rest stops along the way. Features may include an onboard restroom depending on the specific vehicle, so note it with your trip details if it matters for your group!
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 for a group: a run from Mount Vernon to Boston or Atlantic City is three-plus hours, and a coach with outlets at every seat means phones and laptops stay charged the whole way without anyone rationing battery.
Note power outlets with your trip details if the group needs them!
Yes — in two places. Inside the coach, overhead parcel racks run the full length of the cabin. Underneath the coach, large luggage bay doors open into undercarriage baggage bays that hold roughly 460 cubic feet of gear, with an additional 100 cubic feet or so 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 per person in the bays below and one small carry-on in the racks above. What changes that math: a coach fitted with a wheelchair lift gives up some baggage bay space, and bulky gear — instruments for a school band, sports equipment for a travel team heading to a tournament, or event supplies for a corporate outing — takes the space of several standard bags. State your luggage situation and any oversized items with your trip details so the right coach gets matched to your group!
