Why Rent a Bus in Binghamton, New York?

In terms of transportation, local Binghamton travelers rely on the public transportation system called BC Transit. It provides bus services throughout the city and surrounding areas on a regular schedule, and includes express routes and paratransit services for individuals with disabilities.

However, if you’re traveling with a private group on a schedule, BC Transit may not meet your needs. You’ll need to plan your travel around the preset bus schedule, and there’s no guarantee your entire group will all fit aboard. For stress-free and reliable travel with a group, a charter bus rental is your best bet.

Some perks of having a charter bus rental include:

  • Personal space: Your entire group can fit aboard a charter bus rental all together, comfortably and with plenty of space to relax. From 20-passenger minibuses to full-size 56-passenger charter bus rentals, there's a charter bus model that’s the perfect fit for your group.
  • Onboard entertainment: Want to stay busy while on the road during a long trip? A charter bus rental can come with a WiFi hotspot and TVs with a DVD player to stay entertained and preoccupied. Also, every seat comes with a power outlet so passengers can keep their devices fully charged.
  • Premium amenities: Charter bus rentals include amenities that public transit or rental cars don’t. Groups traveling any distance can appreciate an onboard restroom, undercarriage storage bay, and panoramic windows.
  • Professional driver: Every charter bus is operated by a professional driver with years of experience on the road. You can sit back and relax while your driver navigates traffic on the way to your destination.
  • ADA-accessibility: Traveling with a passenger with a disability? Ask a reservation specialist about booking an ADA-compliant bus with features like a wheelchair lift, widened aisle space, and wheelchair hookups.

Frequently Asked Questions

The answer is: it depends. When you call one of our 24/7 reservation specialists with your trip details, they will build a quote for you based on a few factors, including how far you'll be traveling, which bus you rent, how many hours or days you will need the rental, and where and when you will be picked up. Depending on your trip itinerary, your rental cost will be broken down by hour, day, or mile.

You can learn more on our charter bus pricing page, and your reservation specialist will be happy to break down pricing further when you call.
