Charter Bus Paterson works with many different bus companies across New Jersey, and each provider has slightly different rates. But generally, pricing is determined by whether your group is quoted by the day, hour, or mile based on what kind of travel plan your group has in mind.
Factors Affecting Your Trip Length
One-off trips that are short and sweet and don’t leave the city the bus is stationed in (aka local trips) will likely be calculated by the hour. On average, most charter bus companies require a minimum amount of hours, but if your journey requires less time on the road, your Charter Bus Paterson representative will work with you to figure something out that meets your schedule and budget.

Seasonal Changes and Their Impact
Another thing that impacts the cost of your bus rental is when you are traveling. Some times of year, such as spring and fall tend to be more expensive for Paterson charter buses due to limited bus availability. The increased demand in bus rentals for these months is due to several events and happenings, such as weddings, bachelor parties, and more. Major events game days can also cause a spike in price and lower availability.

Finding the Right Bus and Location
If your travel itinerary includes a start point in an area with low availability (usually the case for groups traveling in less-populated areas), Paterson charter bus pricing can increase. Additionally, if you are trying to book in these areas with short notice, your rate may increase due to less availability.
The Perfect Sized Paterson Bus Rental for Your Group
The most obvious difference that will influence your bus rental cost is what type of bus you’ll need to book, along with what special amenities you need on board. For example, a smaller party bus can typically seat between 10 to 20 passengers, while some of the larger options in our network can accommodate over 40 people. Newer buses will cost more than older models and luxury interiors with special party features will up the price a little, as well. On newer party buses, you may find additional amenities like Bluetooth speakers, Smart TVs and more that older models don’t always have. And if your group is coming to watch a game, we recommend a charter bus, with an on-board restroom, TV and more — it’s like the perfect pre-game spot!
How the Day of the Week Affects Your Cost
Weekend rentals (Friday, Saturday, Sunday) are generally more expensive than those booked on weekdays (Monday-Thursday). When there’s less demand for Paterson bus rentals, like during weekdays (and as long as you aren’t booking around a holiday), you’ll often be charged a lower price. On the other hand, on Friday and Saturday nights when there’s a higher demand for buses—companies usually raise the minimum rental hour limit and charge an increased rate per hour to meet that demand. If your celebration can be rescheduled to a day earlier in the week, consider celebrating Tuesday or Wednesday to get the best rate.
Party Buses & Charter Buses Pricing Based on Time of Day
Looking to save a few bucks on your Paterson bus rental? Try booking a daytime trip! Because charter buses are so popular for nights out, weddings, bachelor/ette parties, and concerts—most companies charge higher hourly rates during the evening to meet the demand. Fridays and Saturday nights are typically when bus companies see the highest volume of requests, so you’re almost guaranteed a higher price when reserving a ride during peak weekend times. Certain days throughout the week, like a Monday or Wednesday afternoon, may even come with a reduced minimum number of rental hours required for your reservation.
What Amenities Can I Rent On a Paterson Party Bus or Charter Bus?
Many amenities, such as WiFi, plush seating, and ADA-accessible features, come standard on each bus model. Other amenities, like onboard restrooms, televisions with DVD players, and electrical outlets might come at an additional charge. Let your reservation specialist know if you’d like to make any specific requests, and we’ll make sure those requests are reflected in your bus quote.
Additional Costs
Your quote may not include road tolls, tip and parking fees. Be prepared to pay these out of pocket while traveling, or ask your representative if those can be included when you book. You may also be required to pay for lodging and other accommodations for your driver if your trip will last longer than a day. Please call us to confirm exact pricing.
Money-Saving Tips for Your Paterson Bus Rental
Want to save a little on your next bus rental? It’s much easier than you might think! Have a finalized headcount before you book, reduce deadhead mileage by booking a bus that’s already located in the city you are leaving from, book early, reduce the number of hotel rooms you need to book for your driver by picking destinations near your start city, and try to minimize additional costs like parking fees (usually venues and hotels have good information). These are all easy ways to save!
