NYC Charter Bus Pricing
| Option | Capacity | Hourly Rate | P2P Minimum | Min Hours |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sprinter Van (single) | 10-14 pax | $175/hr | from $250 | 3 hr |
| 2x Sprinter Vans | 20-28 pax | $350/hr combined | from $500 | 3 hr |
| 3x Sprinter Vans | 30-42 pax | $525/hr combined | from $750 | 3 hr |
| Motor Coach (partner) | 47-56 pax | Custom quote | Custom quote | 4 hr |
For most NYC group events, a single Sprinter Van at $175/hr handles 10-14 people efficiently. For wedding guest shuttles (50-100 guests), 2-3 Sprinters on staggered schedules at $350-$525/hr combined are more flexible and Manhattan-practical than a single motor coach that can't navigate narrow streets.
Charter Bus vs Party Bus vs Sprinter Van in NYC
The terms get confusing. Here is the practical difference between the three group transportation options available in New York City, and when each makes sense.
| Feature | Sprinter Van (Charter) | Sprinter Van (Party) | Motor Coach |
|---|---|---|---|
| Capacity | 10-14 passengers | 10-14 passengers | 47-56 passengers |
| Hourly rate | $175/hr | $175/hr | Custom quote |
| Configuration | Forward-facing seats, luggage | Standing room, BYOB, audio | Forward-facing, overhead bins |
| Best for | Airport groups, corporate shuttles, weddings | Bar crawls, bachelorettes, birthdays | 50+ passenger convention shuttles |
| Manhattan navigation | Fits on all streets | Fits on all streets | Cannot access many narrow streets |
| BYOB | Not standard | Yes — ice buckets, glassware | Varies |
| Luggage space | Full rear cargo area | Minimal (party configuration) | Large undercarriage bins |
Practical rule: If your group has luggage (airport, corporate travel, weddings), book the charter configuration. If your group wants entertainment (BYOB, music, bar crawl), book the party configuration. Same vehicle, different setup — both $175/hr. For 30+ passengers, we coordinate multiple Sprinters or arrange a partner motor coach.
