A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Shop and Dine Along Bergenline Avenue
If you want to experience the true pulse of Union City, you have to bring your group to Bergenline Avenue. Often referred to as the "Miracle Mile," this is the longest commercial avenue in the state of New Jersey, stretching from Union City all the way up through North Bergen. It is a paradise for shoppers and foodies alike, offering hundreds of boutique shops, bakeries, and authentic Latin American restaurants. However, parking along "The Avenue" is notoriously difficult, with metered spots filling up instantly and traffic moving slowly. When you rent a minibus or charter bus with Charter Bus Union City, you avoid the headache of circling for hours looking for parking spots for multiple cars. Your driver can drop your group off right at the curb near popular spots like El Artesano (4101 Bergenline Ave, Union City, NJ 07087) for authentic Cuban sandwiches or near the shopping districts for an afternoon of retail therapy. We can arrange a pickup point on a side street or a designated time to return, allowing your group to explore the vibrant culture, music, and flavors of the Miracle Mile stress-free. Whether you are organizing a food tour or a shopping excursion, a private bus rental is the only way to keep your group together on this busy thoroughfare.
Catch a Show at the Union City Performing Arts Center
For groups interested in the arts, the Union City Performing Arts Center (UCPAC) is a state-of-the-art facility that hosts a wide array of performances, from local theater productions and concerts to film festivals and community events. Located at 2500 John F. Kennedy Blvd, Union City, NJ 07087, the center is a cultural jewel of the community. Organizing a school field trip or a senior citizen outing to the theater is much easier when you don't have to coordinate public transit or rely on individual rideshares. With a charter bus rental, you can transport your entire audience together, ensuring everyone arrives before the curtain rises. The venue is located on Kennedy Boulevard, a major artery that the drivers know well. We can facilitate a smooth drop-off right at the entrance, so your group—whether they are students, patrons of the arts, or corporate guests—can enter the venue comfortably. After the show, your warm and welcoming bus will be waiting to take you to a post-show dinner or back home, making the entire evening a sophisticated and seamless experience.
Take in the Views at Ellsworth Park
Union City is famous for its elevation and the spectacular views it offers of New York City. Ellsworth Park, located at New York Ave & 24th St, Union City, NJ 07087, is a fantastic spot for groups to gather, relax, and take in the scenery. It is a popular location for family reunions, small community gatherings, or just a place to stretch your legs during a tour of the city. While the park itself is a neighborhood gem, the surrounding streets are residential and tight, making parking a caravan of cars incredibly difficult. By booking a minibus with Charter Bus Union City, you eliminate the stress of neighborhood parking regulations. We can drop your group off to enjoy the playground, the green space, and the stunning backdrop of the Manhattan skyline. It is the perfect spot for group photos, especially during sunset. Your driver will handle the logistics of the vehicle while you enjoy a picnic or a leisurely stroll through one of the city’s most beloved green spaces.
Historical Tours at Hamilton Park
Located right on the border of Union City and Weehawken, Hamilton Park is an essential stop for history buffs and sightseers. The park is situated at Boulevard East & Hudson Place, Weehawken, NJ 07086, and marks the site of the famous duel between Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr. Beyond the history, this park offers what is arguably the best panoramic view of the New York City skyline in the entire state. It is a premier destination for wedding photos, prom groups, and tourist groups. However, Boulevard East is a busy thoroughfare, and parking is strictly regulated for residents. A private charter bus rental allows your group to visit this historic site without the risk of parking tickets or long walks. We frequently help wedding parties shuttle from Union City ceremonies to Hamilton Park for breathtaking portraits before heading to the reception. The drivers are familiar with navigating the cliffs of the Palisades, ensuring your arrival is smooth and your experience is focused on the breathtaking vistas rather than the traffic.
Athletics and Recreation at Washington Park
Washington Park, located at 657 Palisade Ave, Union City, NJ 07087, covers a significant stretch of land on the border of Union City and Jersey City. It is a hub for local sports leagues, containing baseball fields, tennis courts, soccer fields, and picnic areas. If you are a coach or a team manager looking to transport your athletes to a tournament or a practice at Washington Park, Charter Bus Union City has the perfect solution. Our full-size charter buses come equipped with ample undercarriage storage, perfect for stowing baseball bags, soccer nets, coolers, and uniforms. Instead of parents struggling to find parking spots during busy game days, the whole team can travel together, build camaraderie, and arrive focused on the game. We also serve school groups and summer camps utilizing the park’s picnic groves and playgrounds. Let us handle the transportation logistics so your team can focus on bringing home the win.
Spiritual Visits to the Blue Chapel (Monastery of the Perpetual Rosary)
For religious groups and architecture enthusiasts, the Monastery of the Perpetual Rosary, commonly known as the "Blue Chapel," is a must-see landmark. Located at 14th and Broad Sts, Union City, NJ, this stunning Gothic Revival structure was one of the first dedicated monasteries in the country for the Dominican Sisters. Groups often visit for prayer, history tours, or architectural appreciation. The surrounding streets in this part of Union City are narrow and one-way, which can be a nightmare for a convoy of personal vehicles. A minibus rental from Charter Bus Union City is the ideal way to transport your church group or historical society. We offer respectful, quiet, and comfortable transportation that sets the right tone for your visit. Your driver will manage the navigation through the tight city grid, allowing your group to reflect and enjoy the beauty of this historic spiritual site without the worldly stress of city driving.
Day Trips to American Dream Entertainment Complex
While just outside Union City borders, the American Dream complex is a top destination for groups originating in Union City. Located at 1 American Dream Way, East Rutherford, NJ 07073, this massive entertainment hub features the Nickelodeon Universe theme park, DreamWorks Water Park, Big SNOW indoor skiing, and hundreds of shops. It is the ultimate destination for graduation trips, corporate team-building events, and family vacations. Getting a large group from Union City to the Meadowlands can be tricky due to the traffic on Route 3 and Route 495. When you book a charter bus with Charter Bus Union City, you turn the commute into part of the fun. Your group can enjoy reclining seats, climate control, and onboard entertainment systems during the short drive. We will drop you off right at the designated group entrance, saving you the hassle of navigating the massive parking garages and paying individual parking fees for multiple cars. It is the most efficient way to maximize your time at one of New Jersey's premier attractions.
Group Dining at The Park Performing Arts Center
Wait, isn't this a theater? Yes, but The Park Performing Arts Center, located at 560 32nd St, Union City, NJ 07087, is also a historic landmark often associated with the long-running production of the Passion Play. It serves as a major community hub and a destination for cultural groups. Furthermore, Union City is renowned for its dining scene surrounding these cultural landmarks. After a visit to the center, your group will likely want to explore the culinary delights of the area. Whether you are heading to a large banquet hall or a series of smaller tapas restaurants, moving a large group through the city requires coordination.

Frequently Asked Questions About Union City Group Travel Transportation
Where can a charter bus park in Union City?
Parking a full-sized motorcoach in Union City is extremely challenging due to the density of the city and strict street cleaning rules. Street parking is generally not an option for large commercial vehicles. When you book with Charter Bus Union City, you don't have to worry about this! Your driver will drop your group off at your destination and then proceed to a designated layover area or a secure lot outside the immediate city center, returning to pick you up exactly when you are ready. We handle the logistics so you don't have to circle the block.
Is a minibus or a full-size charter bus better for Union City streets?
Union City is known for narrow, one-way streets and steep hills leading down to the Hudson River. For groups of 35 people or fewer, we highly recommend booking a minibus. These vehicles are more compact and agile, making them much easier to maneuver through the tight neighborhood grids and busy avenues like Bergenline. However, if you have a larger group (up to 56 passengers), our skilled drivers can certainly navigate a full-size motorcoach along major arteries like Kennedy Boulevard and Palisade Avenue. Our reservation specialists can help you decide which vehicle is best based on your specific itinerary.
Can you provide transportation from Union City to NYC?
Absolutely! Union City is located at the entrance to the Lincoln Tunnel, making it a prime launching point for trips into Manhattan. We specialize in shuttling groups from Union City hotels or residences into New York City for Broadway shows, museum tours, or corporate events. A private charter bus rental is often superior to public transit for large groups because you avoid the crowds at the Port Authority Bus Terminal and ensure your group stays together. We can drop you off at your specific NYC destination and bring you back to Union City comfortably at the end of the night.
Do your buses have storage for shopping trips on Bergenline Avenue?
Yes! If you are planning a shopping excursion along the "Miracle Mile," having storage space is essential. Our minibuses typically feature overhead bins for smaller bags, while our full-size charter buses offer massive undercarriage luggage bays. This is perfect for storing all your shopping bags, allowing you to keep your hands free as you continue to explore the shops and bakeries. You can drop off your purchases at the bus throughout the day if your driver is staged nearby, or simply load everything up at the end of your trip.
How far in advance should I book my bus for a Union City event?
Because Union City is part of the bustling New York metropolitan area, demand for charter buses is consistently high year-round. We recommend booking your bus as early as possible—ideally 3 to 6 months in advance. This is especially important if your trip coincides with major holidays, prom season, or large events at nearby MetLife Stadium. Booking early ensures you get the best selection of vehicles and the most competitive pricing. However, our team is available 24/7 at 862-282-0541 to assist with last-minute requests whenever possible!
