Bus Rentals Available For Any Event
Charter Bus Services We Offer in Queens
With one form, you can unlock Queens bus rental options for airport transfers, concerts, corporate events, weddings, prom, school field trips, sporting events, religious group travel, government and military transportation, long-distance trips, and private events, all from a large network of independent providers serving Queens, New York. Whatever brings your group together, you can compare buses in the network for it!
Queens Airport Shuttle Services
You don't have to split your group across a dozen rideshares just to get to the airport. Queens is home to two of the busiest airports in the entire country, John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) (JFK Access Rd, Queens, NY 11430) and LaGuardia Airport (LGA) (Queens, NY 11371), and navigating either one with a large group, multiple bags, and zero coordination is a recipe for disaster. A private airport shuttle bus rental through Charterbusrentalqueensny.com gives you one transportation option to compare for the whole group.
At JFK, charter buses and minibuses use the designated commercial vehicle lanes on the Central Terminal Area loop road, with curbside drop-off at each terminal's departures level. At LGA, ground transportation for oversized vehicles follows the clearly marked bus and van lanes on the outer roadway. Your bus can keep your group together for the trip, while you request the pickup and drop-off details that fit your itinerary.
Compare airport shuttle buses from a network of Queens providers right online, no account needed!
Queens Concert Transportation
Call it what it is: concert parking in Queens is a nightmare, and rideshare surge pricing on show nights can double or triple what you expected to spend. Skip all of it with a Queens concert bus rental through Charterbusrentalqueensny.com. Your group rides together, the pregame energy builds on board, and you can request a ride home before the encore ends.
UBS Arena (2400 Hempstead Turnpike, Elmont, NY 11003), right on the Queens-Nassau County border, is one of the New York metro's premier concert venues and home to the New York Islanders. UBS Arena's oversize-vehicle rules direct buses to enter at Gate 5 Road off Hempstead Turnpike, drop off guests in Silver C lot, then proceed to designated parking; oversize parking is available for advance purchase. That gives your group a designated drop-off before the bus parks.
Citi Field (41 Seaver Way, Queens, NY 11368) hosts major outdoor concerts throughout the summer, with bus drop-off along Roosevelt Avenue and 126th Street. Fill out one quick form to compare concert bus options from a network of Queens providers, and get your group there in style!
Queens Corporate Transportation Services
Because Queens is one of the most economically diverse and commercially active boroughs in New York City, corporate group transportation here looks completely different from one company to the next. Some teams need a daily employee shuttle between Long Island City and a Midtown Manhattan office tower. Others need a fleet of motorcoaches to move conference attendees between hotels and the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center (429 11th Ave, New York, NY 10001) across the East River. Charterbusrentalqueensny.com makes it easy to find and compare corporate charter bus rentals for all of it.
Whether you need a single sprinter van for an executive airport transfer out of JFK or multiple 56-passenger coaches for a large-scale corporate retreat, a large network of independent providers serving Queens means you're never limited to whatever one company has left on the calendar. Compare corporate bus options from multiple providers in one place, with provider-supplied photos, amenity details, and instant online pricing. No account needed.

Employee Shuttles in Queens
Check the commute times on any given weekday morning along the Long Island Expressway, the Grand Central Parkway, or the Van Wyck Expressway and you will understand immediately why a Queens employee shuttle bus is one of the smartest benefits a company can offer. Instead of arriving stressed, late, and stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic, employees can travel together on a bus and arrive at the office ready to work.
Charterbusrentalqueensny.com connects businesses with a large network of independent transportation providers who can build custom recurring shuttle routes throughout Queens and into neighboring boroughs. Whether your team is commuting to a corporate campus in Jamaica, a tech hub in Long Island City, or a distribution center near JFK, a daily employee shuttle gives your team a shared commute.

Queens Government & Military Transportation Service
In a borough as large and logistically complex as Queens, government agencies and military organizations have real, recurring transportation needs that standard rideshare solutions simply cannot meet. Whether it's coordinating personnel transfers between federal facilities, shuttling staff to and from Floyd Bennett Field in nearby Brooklyn, or arranging transportation for a large-scale civic event at Queens Borough Hall (120-55 Queens Blvd, Kew Gardens, NY 11424), Charterbusrentalqueensny.com connects you with a network of transportation providers and bus options for your trip.

Queens Prom & Homecoming Transportation Services
Waiting until the last minute to book a prom bus in Queens is one of the most expensive mistakes a prom group can make, and one of the most common. Queens is home to dozens of high schools, including Jamaica High School, Francis Lewis High School, Bayside High School, Forest Hills High School, and Stuyvesant High School feeder groups from across the borough, and every single one of them is trying to book a party bus during the exact same four-week window in late April and May. Vehicles sell out. Prices spike. Options disappear fast.
Book your Queens prom party bus through Charterbusrentalqueensny.com as early as possible, ideally four to six months ahead, to compare a wide selection of vehicle options. A 15- to 50-passenger party bus option can include a built-in bar, color-changing LED lighting, a premium Bluetooth sound system, flat-panel TVs, and wraparound perimeter seating that makes the ride to prom part of the night itself.

Queens Sports Team & Fan Transportation Services

Whether your group is headed to a Mets game at Citi Field or a New York Red Bulls match at Red Bull Arena across the Hudson, a Queens sports team bus rental through Charterbusrentalqueensny.com keeps your group together and the pregame energy exactly where it belongs, on board, not in a parking garage.
At Citi Field, charter buses and motorcoaches use the designated bus drop-off zones on Roosevelt Avenue and 126th Street, with overflow parking available in Lot G for oversized vehicles. Call ahead to confirm game-day assignments, as they shift by event. Heading to UBS Arena for an Islanders game or a concert?

A private charter bus or minibus rental is by far the most efficient option for large group airport transfers in Queens. Rideshares require multiple vehicles, multiple pickup windows, and multiple points of failure, especially at airports as busy as JFK and LGA. A private shuttle bus can pick your entire group up at one location, load all the luggage at once, and take everyone to the correct terminal on a schedule that works for your flight.
At JFK, commercial vehicles use the Central Terminal Area loop road for curbside terminal access. At LGA, buses follow the designated ground transportation lanes on the outer roadway. Fill out one quick form to compare Queens airport shuttle buses from multiple providers!
Yes, and this is worth knowing before you book. The New York City Department of Transportation requires charter buses and motorcoaches operating within the five boroughs to follow specific routing and idling regulations, particularly in Midtown Manhattan and near major venues. The routes and drop-off zones for a Queens trip can depend on the locations in your itinerary.
When you request a quote through Charterbusrentalqueensny.com, mention any specific pickup or drop-off locations so providers can discuss the trip options. Call 917-947-1680 for guidance any time!
Absolutely, and it's one of the most common trip types booked through Charterbusrentalqueensny.com for Queens groups. Charter buses and full-size motorcoaches regularly use the Queensboro Bridge (59th Street Bridge), the Queens–Midtown Tunnel, the Queens–Battery Tunnel, and the Triborough Bridge (RFK Bridge) to move groups between Queens and Manhattan. Each crossing has its own height restrictions, toll requirements, and commercial vehicle rules, so include your specific route when you request your quote.

Queens to the Hamptons is one of the most popular summer day-trip and weekend routes in the New York metro area, and a charter bus or minibus rental is a way to travel together with a group. Instead of splitting across multiple cars on the Long Island Expressway, one of the most congested stretches of highway in the country on a Friday afternoon in July, your entire group boards one vehicle and rides together. Full-size 56-passenger charter buses and 15- to 35-passenger minibuses are both popular for this route, with onboard WiFi, reclining seats, and power outlets among the amenities you can compare.
Compare Hamptons-bound bus options from a network of Queens providers through Charterbusrentalqueensny.com's online quote tool, or call 917-947-1680 to get a custom round-trip package built around your weekend itinerary!

Providers in the network can discuss vehicle options for your request. Ask about any accessibility-related charges when you book!
For most events in Queens, booking your charter bus or party bus two to four months in advance gives you time to compare vehicle selection and pricing. For high-demand periods, prom season (late April through May), summer weekends when Hamptons trips and outdoor concerts fill the calendar, Mets home games, major events at UBS Arena, and the holiday season, stretch that to four to six months out minimum. New York City is one of the busiest charter bus markets in the entire country, and providers in the Queens network can fill up fast.
Waiting until the last minute can mean fewer vehicle options or higher rates. Fill out one quick form or call 917-947-1680 right now to lock in your date before it's gone!

With 1,255 acres of open space, the park is a favorite for school field trips, family reunions, cultural events, and corporate outings of every size. A minibus or full-size charter bus is the smartest way to get a group here without fighting for parking on event days.
USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center
The USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center (Flushing Meadows–Corona Park, Queens, NY 11368) is the largest public tennis facility in the world and the home of the US Open, one of the four Grand Slam tennis tournaments. Held every August through early September, the US Open draws enormous numbers of fans to Flushing over two weeks, making it one of the single busiest periods for Queens charter bus transportation all year. Charter buses and motorcoaches serving the USTA use designated drop-off areas along 114th Street and the park's outer roadway, with bus parking coordinated through the venue's event transportation office.
Call ahead, well ahead, ideally months in advance, to confirm your specific drop-off assignment for US Open dates. Outside of the Open, the facility hosts college tournaments, junior competitions, and public play year-round, making it a popular destination for tennis team transportation throughout the city.
Citi Field
Citi Field is the home of the New York Mets and one of the most modern ballparks in Major League Baseball since opening in 2009. Located in Flushing, right off the Grand Central Parkway and the Van Wyck Expressway, the stadium seats over 41,000 fans and hosts Mets home games from April through September, plus major concerts and special events throughout the year. Charter buses drop off on Roosevelt Avenue and 126th Street.
Citi Field's current bus parking information places the bus lot north of the stadium, west of the Shea Road intersection; it opens one hour before stadium gates. In addition to baseball, Citi Field has hosted major concerts from artists like Taylor Swift and Beyoncé, drawing enormous crowds that make a private charter bus rental an option for any group of fans traveling together from Queens or the surrounding metro area.
Queens Museum
The Queens Museum (New York City Building, Flushing Meadows–Corona Park, Queens, NY 11368) is one of the most distinctive and underrated cultural institutions in New York City. Originally built as the New York City Pavilion for the 1939 World's Fair and renovated and expanded multiple times since, the museum is best known for its permanent collection highlight, the Panorama of the City of New York, a breathtakingly detailed 9,335-square-foot architectural scale model of every single building in the five boroughs, updated regularly to reflect new construction. The museum also maintains a strong collection of works related to the 1939 and 1964 World's Fairs, plus rotating contemporary art exhibitions with a strong focus on Queens-based and immigrant artists.
Queens Museum school-group guidelines allow buses and vans to drop off at the Grand Central Parkway side entrance; limited free parking is available in lots on either side, and the larger southside lot is recommended for buses and vans. School groups are especially welcome, and the museum offers dedicated educational programming for K–12 students that pairs beautifully with a field trip bus rental.
New York Hall of Science
The New York Hall of Science is one of the premier hands-on science museums in the United States and a perennial favorite for school field trips from across the New York City metro area. Originally built as the Science Pavilion for the 1964 World's Fair, the museum today features more than 450 interactive exhibits across physics, biology, chemistry, and technology, plus a 60,000-square-foot outdoor Science Playground that is the largest of its kind in the country. Charter buses and school buses access the museum via 111th Street in Flushing Meadows–Corona Park, with designated bus parking on 48th Avenue just west of the main entrance.
The museum offers advance group booking for school field trips, including curriculum-aligned programming in STEM subjects. A minibus or full-size charter bus is a way to bring a student group to the Hall of Science, with space for backpacks and lunch bags.
Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge
Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge (Cross Bay Blvd, Broad Channel, NY 11693) is part of Gateway National Recreation Area and one of the most remarkable urban wildlife sanctuaries in the entire country. Managed by the National Park Service, the refuge encompasses over 9,000 acres of salt marsh, open bay, upland field, and woodland habitat, and sits directly adjacent to JFK International Airport, a juxtaposition that is uniquely, unmistakably Queens. The refuge is home to over 330 species of birds, making it a world-class birding destination, and the two main trail loops around the West Pond and East Pond offer spectacular views of the Manhattan skyline across the water.
Charter buses and minibuses access the refuge via Cross Bay Boulevard in Broad Channel, with bus parking available in the main visitor lot adjacent to the refuge's headquarters building. Group visits are welcomed, and the NPS visitor center offers educational programming for school and naturalist groups.

Rockaway Beach
Rockaway Beach (Beach 9th St to Beach 149th St, Far Rockaway, Queens, NY) is the largest urban beach in the United States and one of the most beloved summer destinations in all of New York City. Stretching along the Rockaway Peninsula on the southern edge of Queens, the beach is managed by the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation and draws millions of visitors every summer season from June through Labor Day. The beach is famous for its surf culture, the Rockaways have produced some of New York's most dedicated surfing communities, and the boardwalk between Beach 86th and Beach 116th Streets is lined with food vendors, concession stands, and seasonal attractions.
Charter buses and minibuses traveling to Rockaway Beach typically access the peninsula via the Marine Parkway Bridge or the Cross Bay Veterans Memorial Bridge, with bus drop-off and parking available in the designated lots at Beach 97th Street and Beach 116th Street. Booking a beach day charter bus through Charterbusrentalqueensny.com is the easiest way to get a large group to the Rockaways without the parking headache.
Louis Armstrong House Museum
The Louis Armstrong House Museum (34-56 107th St, Corona, Queens, NY 11368) is one of the most intimate and moving museum experiences in New York City, and one of the most culturally significant historic homes in the entire country.

The museum offers guided tours of the home's seven rooms, including Armstrong's den, where he recorded large numbers of hours of personal audio diaries and home recordings that are now part of the museum's extensive archive, and his trumpet room.
Charter buses and minibuses access the museum via 107th Street in Corona, with street parking available for smaller vehicles and a designated drop-off zone in front of the main entrance. Group tours must be booked in advance, and the museum's education department offers specialized programming for school and cultural groups. This is a must-visit Queens destination for music history enthusiasts of any age.
