The main factors that affect your bus rental price are the size of the bus, the length of your trip, and the time of year. Larger buses cost more than smaller ones, and multi-day trips will be more expensive than single-day rentals. Peak season in Albany is May through October, when graduations, weddings, and festivals like Tulip Fest are happening—so rates are highest then. Other factors include whether you’re traveling out of state, how many hours you need the bus each day, and what amenities you request (like WiFi or TVs).

Our fleet includes every modern amenity you could want: free WiFi, power outlets, USB ports, reclining seats, climate control, overhead storage, luggage bays, PA systems, flat-screen TVs, DVD players, and restrooms (on most coach buses). Party buses add hardwood floors, wraparound leather seating, color-changing LED lights, Bluetooth sound systems, and coolers for drinks. Sprinter vans come with high-back seats, fold-out tables, and extra headroom. If you have specific requests—like ADA-accessible features or extra luggage space—just let us know when you book.

We provide transportation for every type of group and event in Albany: weddings, corporate outings, school field trips, sports teams, concerts, festivals, airport transfers, political rallies, casino shuttles, and more.

Charter buses can pick up and drop off passengers at most major venues in Albany, including Times Union Center, Empire State Plaza, MVP Arena, and local hotels. For longer-term parking, options include the Riverfront Garage, Park South Lot, and designated areas near Washington Park. Downtown streets like State Street and Eagle Street allow short-term loading/unloading, but check for posted restrictions. If your itinerary includes stops outside Albany—like Saratoga Springs, Schenectady, or Troy—we’ll help you find convenient parking locations there too. Always confirm parking arrangements with your venue or event organizer ahead of time.

Your quote includes the base cost of the bus, fuel, and standard amenities like WiFi, power outlets, and climate control. Optional upgrades (such as extra TVs or custom interiors) may add to the price. Please note that tolls, parking fees, and driver gratuity are not included—you’ll be responsible for those expenses during your trip. For example, if your route uses the New York State Thruway or crosses a bridge with a toll, those charges will be added to your final bill. Parking fees vary by location; check with your destination for current rates.

Yes, we offer one-way bus rentals from Albany to any destination in New York State or beyond—including NYC, Buffalo, Boston, Montreal, and more. One-way trips are perfect for airport transfers, cruise departures, college move-ins, or relocating a group without needing the bus to return. Pricing is based on the total distance traveled and whether the bus needs to deadhead (return empty) after drop-off. If you have luggage or equipment to transport, let us know so we can assign a vehicle with enough storage space.
