No — Yonkerscharterbuscompany.com is a comparison and referral website. You use it to compare vehicles and pricing from a network of independently owned bus companies serving Yonkers and the surrounding area, and the transportation itself is carried out by those independent operators. Think of it as a faster way to see what is available and what it costs: one form, one results page, many options from real providers serving your route.
The site handles the comparison; the independent companies handle the ride.
When you search on your own, you call one company, hear one price, and find out whether they have a bus available on your date. With Yonkerscharterbuscompany.com, you fill out one form or make one call to 914-744-3220 and you get options and price points from a whole network of providers serving the Yonkers area — all at once, in seconds. That means more vehicles to choose from, more packages to compare, and no time spent chasing callbacks.
You see what is available for your actual trip and pick what fits.
An independently owned transportation company serving Yonkers. When you fill out a quote, you are taken to a national booking platform where you choose the vehicle that suits your trip — the size, the amenities, the price point that works for your group. What you are selecting there is a vehicle and a package, not a company off a list.
The transportation company confirmed to carry out your booking is communicated to you after the booking is complete. Call 914-744-3220 if you want to walk through the options before you commit.
Booking a Charter Bus
Fill out the quote form on this site — your pickup city, destination, group size, date, and trip times — or call 914-744-3220 and go through it with someone directly. Either way, you are taken to a search results page on a national booking company's website. That booking company works with a network of independently owned operators serving the Yonkers area, and right there on their site you can see available vehicles, photos, and pricing and book the bus you want online.
What you are choosing on that results page is a vehicle and a price, not a specific transportation company.
Your pickup city, where the group is going, how many people are riding, and how many hours you need the bus. That gets you a quote. The more detail you add — your specific stops, start and end times, any luggage or oversized items, and the amenities the group needs — the more accurately the quote comes back and the better you can match a vehicle to the actual trip.
A Yonkers pickup heading to Yankee Stadium for four hours prices differently than a full-day Hudson Valley winery loop, so the specifics matter.
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 booking company's website and see available vehicles and pricing for your trip. Nothing to wait for.
If you would rather go through it with a person, call 914-744-3220 and someone will walk you through the options, answer questions, and help you put together the right package for your group.
The earlier the better on a popular date, and the more specific the vehicle or the larger the group, the further ahead you want to go. That said, because Yonkerscharterbuscompany.com puts your request in front of a whole network of providers serving the Yonkers area rather than one operator with one lot, short-notice trips are often still workable when a single call to a single company would come back with nothing. Submit the request or call 914-744-3220 even if the date is close — it is always worth checking what is available.
The worst outcome is that you know right away, and the best outcome is that you find exactly what you need.
All of those can be requested. Hourly — sometimes called as-directed — keeps the vehicle with your group for a block of time and works well when the schedule has flexibility or multiple stops. A one-way transfer moves the group from one place to another without a return leg.
A round trip brings everyone back to the starting point. A multi-stop itinerary runs a set route with several stops along the way, like a brewery loop through Westchester or a shuttle circuit between a hotel and a venue. A multi-day booking covers a trip that runs across more than one day, like a group heading to Saratoga Springs for the racing season or a school trip with an overnight stay.
Which format fits depends on the trip itself, and a multi-stop or overnight itinerary should be laid out in full when you submit the 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 real planning ranges, not a single price — what actually moves the number is the type and size of bus, the date, the route, and how long the vehicle is in service. The range is a starting point, not your price.
The fastest way to see a number for your specific trip is to fill out the form and see pricing on the booking company's results page in seconds. Or call 914-744-3220 — going through the trip with someone can turn up better packages and pricing than you would find on your own.
It depends on the trip, and all three are used. A shorter trip of a few hours is usually priced hourly — a Yonkers group heading to Yankee Stadium and back, or a shuttle loop between a hotel and a wedding venue in Tarrytown, is a typical hourly booking. A trip that covers significant distance — roughly past the 100- to 200-mile mark, or heading well outside the area to somewhere like Washington, D.C. or Boston — may carry a per-mile charge instead of a straight hourly rate.
And a long day, generally around eight hours or more, often comes back as a day rate rather than stacked hours, simply because the vehicle is tied up for most of the day. Submitting the actual trip is what determines which structure applies — the form or a call to 914-744-3220 gets you the real answer for your itinerary.
The things that move a charter bus price are the type and size of bus, how long it is booked for, the day of the week, the date, the distance, the number of stops, and how busy that particular date is in the Yonkers market. Sunday through Thursday prices lower than Friday and Saturday. Daytime prices lower than those same nights.
Booking the size the group actually needs — rather than over-booking capacity — keeps the rate down. And consolidating pickups into one or two points instead of five separate addresses cuts the hours on the clock before the trip even starts. Yonkers-specific note: fall weekends in October are among the tightest in the region because the Sleepy Hollow Halloween season, Yankees postseason runs, and Hudson Valley foliage tours all pull from the same pool of vehicles at once.
If your date falls in that window, going early is the clearest way to get a better price and more options.
About Charter Buses
A charter bus is a full-size passenger coach that a group hires for its own trip, with its own route and schedule, rather than riding a fixed public route. It is built for moving a large group over a distance in one vehicle — roughly 40 to 56 people — on a timeline and itinerary set by the group, not a transit agency. The group has the whole coach to itself for the duration of the booking.
On the outside, a full-size charter bus is a tall coach body with high windows running the full length of both sides and large baggage bay doors along the lower panels. The exterior is usually finished in white, silver, black, or a solid color, though some coaches are wrapped in an operator's own graphics, so the vehicle that shows up will not always look identical to a photo. Inside, seats run in pairs on either side of a center aisle, all facing forward.
The fabric is either cloth or leather depending on the make and model — coaches like the MCI J4500 and Van Hool CX45 are commonly finished in cloth with padded headrests, while some operators spec leather. Overhead racks run the full length of the cabin for carry-on bags and personal items. A restroom sits toward the rear.
The cabin is tall enough to stand and walk the aisle comfortably from front to back.
Some of the amenities available on charter buses include reclining cloth or leather seats, individual climate controls, onboard restrooms, overhead parcel racks and undercarriage storage, WiFi, power outlets, a PA system with wireless microphone, and TV monitors. Features may include any or all of those depending on the make, model, and how the operator has the coach configured — not every vehicle carries every item, and what is on a specific coach is confirmed during booking. If there are amenities the group needs — WiFi for a working ride, power outlets at every seat, or an accessible restroom — note them with the trip details so the results come back matched to what the group actually requires.
Generally 40 to 56 passengers, depending on the make and model, with 56 the most common configuration 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, 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 takes seats out, and a wheelchair position does the same.
Because Yonkerscharterbuscompany.com works with a network of independently owned providers, the exact coach matched to any given trip depends on what is available for that date and route — submit the trip or call 914-744-3220 if the group needs a specific passenger capacity confirmed before booking.
A 56-passenger coach runs 14 rows, with two seats on each side of a center aisle — four seats across, forward facing, the full length of the cabin. The row count drops on coaches built with extra legroom or a wheelchair position, since those configurations take space that would otherwise be a row. Some coaches tier the front rows slightly for sightlines.
The layout is the same across the major full-size models: two-and-two, one aisle, 14 rows at standard configuration.
A full-size charter bus is 45 feet long and 8.5 feet wide. To put that in terms that are useful when you are checking whether one fits somewhere — it is roughly three cars parked end to end. Shorter coaches exist, most commonly around 35 feet, and those turn up in the network alongside full-size models.
The 45-foot coach is the standard full-size vehicle and the most common configuration you will see on the results page for a large group.
A full-size charter bus stands about 11 to 12 feet tall depending on the model, and traffic engineers design overpasses and parking structures for 12 feet. To put that in terms that are useful when you are checking a clearance — it is a little taller than a single story of a house. Worth knowing for Yonkers specifically: the Saw Mill River Parkway, Bronx River Parkway, Hutchinson Parkway, and Taconic State Parkway all prohibit commercial vehicles including charter buses, so routes from Yonkers use I-87, US-9, or other non-parkway corridors regardless of height.
The bus routes around those restrictions, not through them.
WiFi is one of the amenities available on charter buses, and many coaches on the road today are equipped with it. One point worth knowing: onboard WiFi is a piece of equipment a coach is built with rather than something every coach carries, so whether a given vehicle has it varies by make, model, and operator configuration. The other thing to set honestly: onboard WiFi runs off a cellular connection and is built for light use across a full coach — phones, messaging, browsing, checking email — not for 50 or 60 people running video calls or large uploads at once.
If WiFi matters for the group's trip, note it with the details when you submit the quote so the results come back showing vehicles that have it.
Yes, an onboard restroom is standard on full-size charter buses. It sits toward the rear of the coach. The honest expectation: it is there so the group does not have to stop every hour, and on a longer run — say, a group heading from Yonkers to Foxwoods or up to Saratoga Springs — the trip is still usually planned with real rest stops along the way.
Amenities may include an onboard restroom depending on the vehicle; note it with the trip details if it is a requirement for the 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. What that means practically: a group can keep phones and laptops charged across a long run, which matters on a trip from Yonkers to Washington, D.C. or Boston where the ride covers several hours each way.
Note power outlets with the trip details if the group needs them, so the results come back showing vehicles that have them at the seat.
Yes, in two places — overhead parcel racks inside the coach and undercarriage baggage bays underneath it. A full-size coach carries roughly 460 cubic feet of underfloor baggage space and around 100 cubic feet 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 per person overhead — which in practice is about one checked-size bag each below plus one small carry-on above.
A few things change that math: a coach fitted with a wheelchair lift gives up some baggage bay space, and bulky gear — instruments, sports equipment, cases for a school trip, or event supplies for a corporate off-site — takes the space of several bags and needs to be stated up front. If the group is traveling with oversized items or an unusually large amount of luggage, note it with the trip details when you submit the quote so the right coach is matched to what the group is actually bringing.

A few dates pull the entire Westchester market at once. October is the single tightest month: the Sleepy Hollow Halloween season — Historic Hudson Valley's events in Tarrytown and Sleepy Hollow, just 10 to 12 miles north of Yonkers — is one of the most in-demand fall destinations in the Northeast, and it overlaps with Hudson Valley foliage season and Yankees postseason runs. Wedding season runs May through October, with Tappan Hill, Lyndhurst, The Castle, and Watermill booking heavily on Saturday evenings.
Prom season across Yonkers Public Schools and the area's Catholic and private schools runs late April through late May and tightens the whole local market. Graduation season in May and June, New Year's Eve, and New York Giants and Jets home Sundays at MetLife Stadium from September through January are the other dates that go early. On those dates, book well ahead.
Short-notice requests are always worth submitting through the site because the network is wider than any one operator — but the best selection and the best pricing on a busy Westchester weekend go to the groups that plan ahead.
