No — Busrentalbrick.com is a comparison and referral website. In practical terms, that means you use it to compare vehicles and pricing from a network of bus companies serving Brick, and the transportation itself is carried out by independently owned companies serving your area. You are not hiring Busrentalbrick.com to move your group.
You are using Busrentalbrick.com to find the right vehicle and price, then booking through the national booking platform the site connects you to. It is a faster, easier way to get to the right bus than calling operators one at a time.
When you search on your own, you call one company, get one price, and either take it or start over. With Busrentalbrick.com, you fill out one form or make one call to 732-785-4090 and immediately see vehicles and pricing from a whole network of providers serving Brick — not just whatever one operator has available on their lot. More options means more price points, and companies in the network are competing for the same booking.
That is more leverage for you, and it takes a fraction of the time.
An independently owned transportation company serving Brick. Once you fill out the quote form, you are taken to the national booking platform where you choose the vehicle that fits your trip — the size, the amenities, the price. What you are selecting there is a vehicle and a price, not a company off a list.
The transportation company confirmed to your booking is communicated to you after the booking is made. The platform works with a network of operators serving Ocean County and the surrounding region, so there is real coverage for trips of all kinds in and out of Brick.
Booking a Charter Bus
Fill out the form on this page — or call 732-785-4090 if you would rather talk through it — and you are taken directly to a search results page on a national booking company's website. That booking company partners with independently owned operators serving the Brick area, and the results page shows you available vehicles with trip-specific pricing. Right there on that page, you choose the vehicle that fits your group and your plans, and book it online in minutes.
What you are choosing is a vehicle and a price — not picking among companies.
Your pickup city, where you are going, how many people are riding, and how many hours you need the bus. That is enough to get a quote started. The more detail you add — your stops, exact start and end times, how much luggage the group is bringing, and any amenities the group needs like WiFi or a restroom — the more accurate the quote comes back and the better the deal you can find.
Laying out the full trip up front saves time and avoids surprises on pricing.
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 national booking platform and see available vehicles and pricing for your trip immediately. no inbox wait, no follow-up call required. If you would rather go through the trip with someone live, call 732-785-4090 and a person will walk you through it.
The earlier the better for a busy date — a specific vehicle type or a large group generally means booking further ahead. That said, because Busrentalbrick.com puts your request in front of a whole network of providers serving the Brick area rather than one operator with one yard, short-notice trips are often still workable. That is the real advantage of comparing a network: one company telling you no does not end the search.
Submit the request or call 732-785-4090 even if the date is coming up fast — the results page will show what is actually available, and you may be surprised.
All of those can be requested. Hourly or as-directed keeps the vehicle with your group for a set block of time and works well when the itinerary has several stops or the timing is flexible. A one-way transfer moves the group from one place to another with no return leg.
A round trip brings them back to the starting point. A multi-stop itinerary runs a planned route with several stops along the way — a pub crawl from Brick to Point Pleasant Beach and Asbury Park, for example. A multi-day booking covers a trip that runs across more than one day, like a group run to New York City or a long weekend in Washington, D.C. Which format fits depends entirely on the trip itself.
Lay out the full itinerary — all stops, times, and overnight needs — when you submit the request so the quote comes back priced correctly from the start.
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 flat rate — pricing is not one size fits all, and a number of things move a quote in either direction. The range tells you what to expect in the ballpark; your actual price depends on the specifics of your trip.
The fastest way to see a number is to fill out the form and see pricing for your actual dates and route in seconds. Or call 732-785-4090 — going through the trip with someone live can surface better packages and pricing than the form alone.
It depends on the trip, and all three structures are used. A shorter trip of a couple of hours — say, a round trip from Brick to a concert at PNC Bank Arts Center in Holmdel — is typically priced hourly. A long-distance run, roughly past the 100-to-200-mile mark or heading well out of the region, may carry a per-mile charge instead of stacked hourly rates.
And a long day, generally around eight hours or more, often comes back as a day rate rather than hourly, simply because the vehicle is booked for so much of the day that a flat daily rate makes more sense for everyone. Which structure applies to your trip is determined by the actual itinerary — submit the full trip details and the quote will reflect the right format automatically.
Six things move the price: the type and size of bus, how long it is booked for, the day of the week and the date, the distance and the route, the number of stops, and how much demand is on that date locally. On the reader's side, a few moves consistently help. Sunday through Thursday prices lower than Friday and Saturday — a trip that works on a Thursday instead of a Saturday is almost always cheaper.
Daytime trips price lower than the same hours at night. Booking the passenger capacity the group actually needs, rather than over-sizing, keeps the hourly rate from climbing unnecessarily. And grouping riders into one or two pickup points in Brick rather than five separate addresses cuts the hours the vehicle is on the clock before the trip even starts.
For Brick specifically, summer weekends from Memorial Day through Labor Day and prom weekends in late April and May are the highest-demand windows in Ocean County — those dates price at the top of the range, and booking ahead is the most reliable way to hold a better rate.
About Charter Buses
A charter bus is a full-size passenger coach that a group hires for its own trip — with its own route, its own schedule, and no other passengers sharing the ride. Instead of following a fixed public route, it goes where the group is going, on the group's timeline. It is built for moving a large group over a distance in one vehicle, and a standard full-size coach seats roughly 40 to 56 people.
From the outside, a full-size charter bus is a tall, long coach body with high-set windows running the length of both sides and a row of luggage bay doors along the lower panels beneath the floor. The exterior is typically finished in white, silver, black, or a solid color — some coaches are wrapped in an operator's own graphics, so the coach that shows up will not always look the same. Inside, you will find forward-facing seats arranged in pairs on either side of a center aisle, upholstered in cloth or leather depending on the make and model.
Overhead parcel racks run the length of the cabin above both rows of seats, and a restroom is located toward the rear. Common makes include the MCI J4500, the Van Hool CX45, and the Prevost H3-45 — all full-size, 45-foot coaches with the same general layout, though interior finishes vary by operator and model year.
Some of the amenities available on charter buses include reclining cloth or leather seats, individual climate controls, an onboard restroom, overhead parcel racks and undercarriage baggage bays, WiFi, 110-volt AC power outlets and USB charging ports, a PA system with microphone, and TV monitors. Coaches may include any combination of these depending on the make, model, and how the operator has built out the vehicle — features vary and are confirmed during booking rather than guaranteed across the board. If specific amenities matter for your trip, note them with your request so the results come back filtered to vehicles that actually have them.
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 in a higher-density build.
The Prevost H3-45 also seats 56 in its standard layout. Shorter 35-foot coaches seat closer to 44. What changes the count on the same coach is the interior configuration: extra legroom between rows takes seats out, and a wheelchair position removes one or two seats depending on placement.
Because Busrentalbrick.com works with a network of providers, the exact coach on any given trip depends on what is available for your date and route — submit the trip or call 732-785-4090 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 per row, all forward-facing. The aisle runs straight down the middle from the front to the rear restroom. Row count drops on coaches built with extra legroom between rows or a wheelchair position, which takes out a row or part of one.
Some coaches step up the first few rows slightly toward the front for sightline reasons, but the basic layout is the same: 14 rows, two-and-two, one aisle.
A full-size charter bus is 45 feet long and 8.5 feet wide. To put that in perspective — roughly three cars parked end to end. That is the measurement that matters when a group is checking whether the bus fits a particular driveway, parking area, or venue approach.
Shorter coaches exist, most commonly around 35 feet, and those are the right call when a venue or route has clearance or turning constraints. The 45-foot coach is the standard full-size vehicle and the most common configuration in the network.
A full-size charter bus stands about 11 to 12 feet tall depending on the model, and traffic engineers design overhead clearances for 12 feet as the standard. A practical comparison: a little taller than a single story of a house. That is the number to check against any parking garage, covered driveway, or low bridge on the planned route.
If the trip involves a venue with a covered entrance or an underground garage approach, it is worth noting that with the request so the right vehicle is matched to the route.
WiFi is one of the amenities available on charter buses, and many coaches on the road today are equipped with it. That said, onboard WiFi is a feature a coach is built with rather than something every coach carries — whether a specific vehicle has it varies by make, model, and operator. One honest thing to know before the trip: onboard WiFi runs off a cellular connection and is designed for light use across a full coach — checking phones, messaging, basic browsing — not for 50 or 60 people doing heavy data work simultaneously.
For a group that needs reliable connectivity for work or presentations, that is worth planning around. If WiFi matters for your trip, note it with your request so vehicles that have it come back in the results.
Yes — an onboard restroom is standard on full-size charter buses. It sits toward the rear of the coach, and its purpose is to keep the group moving without a stop every hour. On a longer run, trips are still typically planned with real rest stops along the way; the onboard restroom handles the in-between.
Because features may vary by vehicle, note that a restroom matters for your trip when you submit the request, and it will be confirmed during booking.
Yes — charter buses are built with 110-volt AC power outlets, and coaches are commonly fitted with them at or near every seat, often 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. In practical terms, a group can keep phones and laptops charged across a long run — a trip from Brick down to Atlantic City or up to New York City — without anyone rationing battery life.
Note power outlets with your trip details if the group needs them, and it will be confirmed during booking.
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 just under 2 overhead — in practice, about one checked-size bag per person in the undercarriage bays plus one small carry-on above.
That is the baseline. A few things change it: a coach fitted with a wheelchair lift gives up some bay space where the lift mechanism sits. Bulky gear — instruments, sports equipment for a team trip, display materials for a trade show run to the Atlantic City Convention Center — takes the space of several standard bags, so it is worth flagging.
The same goes for a group heading to Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson who wants to stow bags at the park rather than carry them in. State your luggage situation and any oversized items with the trip details so the right coach is matched to the group from the start.
Charter Bus Service in Brick, New Jersey
Any group with a trip to make. The most common bookings through the network include airport transfers to and from Newark Liberty (EWR), Philadelphia International (PHL), and Atlantic City International (ACY); corporate travel and employee shuttles for meetings, off-sites, and conference runs; wedding shuttles between hotel blocks and venues across Ocean County; concert and entertainment trips to PNC Bank Arts Center and the Asbury Park boardwalk; game-day charters to MetLife Stadium and Prudential Center; school and college field trips for Brick Township Public Schools and Ocean County College; church and religious group travel; brewery and winery tours through Ocean and Monmouth County; bachelor and bachelorette parties; prom and birthday trips; government and military group moves; and long-distance charters to New York City, Washington D.C., the Pocono Mountains, and beyond. If the group has a destination, the network has a bus for it.
The network serves Brick and the surrounding Ocean County and Monmouth County region — including Toms River, Lakewood, Point Pleasant, Jackson, Howell, Wall Township, Asbury Park, and communities throughout the Jersey Shore corridor. Those are examples, not the complete list. If your trip starts or ends somewhere not named here, enter the full route in the quote form or call 732-785-4090 to check coverage — the network reaches well beyond the immediate area for both local and long-distance trips.
The single busiest stretch of the year in Ocean County is prom season — late April through May, when Brick Memorial High School, Brick Township High School, and every neighboring district from Toms River to Point Pleasant to Lakewood all hold their dances within the same few weeks. Book that window as early as possible. Summer shore season from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day is the next major crunch — Brick's location on Barnegat Bay and its proximity to Point Pleasant Beach drives enormous demand for group beach trips, family reunions, and casino runs to Atlantic City.
The Ocean County Fair in mid-July, graduation weekends in June, homecoming in October, and New Year's Eve all pull heavily from the same local market. Wedding season — May through October, with June, September, and October the heaviest months — fills quickly too. On all of those dates, the whole market gets taken early.
Book well ahead for any of them. Short-notice requests are still worth submitting — the network is larger than any single operator — but the earlier you book a high-demand date, the better the options.
Planning Your Brick, New Jersey Charter Bus Trip
Yes — the network serves all major airports within reach of Brick. Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) (3 Brewster Road, Newark, NJ 07114) is the primary hub for most Brick-area travelers, approximately 55–65 miles north via the Garden State Parkway and NJ Turnpike — roughly 60–80 minutes off-peak, longer during rush hour. Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) (8000 Essington Ave, Philadelphia, PA 19153) sits about 80–90 miles west, approximately 90–120 minutes.
Atlantic City International Airport (ACY) (101 Atlantic City International Airport Rd, Egg Harbor Township, NJ 08234) is the closest at roughly 45–55 miles south, approximately 45–60 minutes via the Parkway. For any airport run, the coach meets the group at the spot that airport designates for buses and larger vehicles on the arrivals level, following that airport's own ground transportation guidelines. Have the full group and all luggage together before calling for pickup — it keeps the bus on schedule and avoids a second loop around the terminal.
Yes — the network serves every major stadium and arena within range of Brick. MetLife Stadium (1 MetLife Stadium Dr, East Rutherford, NJ 07073), home of the NY Giants and NY Jets, is about 70–80 miles north — approximately 75–100 minutes — and one of the most common game-day destinations for Brick-area groups. Prudential Center (25 Lafayette St, Newark, NJ 07102), home of the NJ Devils, is roughly 60–70 miles north.
PNC Bank Arts Center (116 Garden State Pkwy, Holmdel, NJ 07733) is about 30–35 miles north and a major summer concert venue. Yankee Stadium and Citi Field are both in the 80–90 mile range. Closer to home, ShoreTown Ballpark (2 Stadium Way, Lakewood, NJ 08701), home of the Jersey Shore BlueClaws, is about 12–15 miles west.
On game days and major event nights, traffic patterns around all of these venues change significantly — build extra time into the departure from Brick, especially on summer weekends and for night games when the Parkway runs heavy in both directions.
Yes — the network serves convention centers and large event venues throughout the region. The Atlantic City Convention Center (1 Convention Blvd, Atlantic City, NJ 08401) is the largest convention venue within range, about 50–60 miles south via the Garden State Parkway — approximately 50–70 minutes. ShoreTown Ballpark in Lakewood hosts concerts and large events in addition to BlueClaws games.
For events at Asbury Park Convention Hall (1300 Ocean Ave, Asbury Park, NJ 07712), about 25–30 miles north, the bus drops at the Ocean Avenue entrance and stages nearby. Large venues have designated bus loading areas separate from the main pedestrian entrance, and a repeat shuttle running between a Brick-area hotel and a convention venue should have its full schedule — number of runs, timing of each leg, headcount per run — laid out with the request so the quote comes back timed and priced correctly.
Yes — any wedding venue in the area. Brick and the surrounding Ocean County and Monmouth County region have a strong selection of waterfront and shore-area venues. Crystal Point Yacht Club (3900 River Rd, Point Pleasant, NJ 08742), directly north of Brick on the Manasquan River, is one of the most popular waterfront reception sites for Ocean County weddings.
Bonnet Island Estate (2400 East Bay Avenue, Manahawkin, NJ 08050), about 25 miles south, is a private island venue that draws guests from across the Shore. The Breakers on the Ocean (1507 Ocean Ave, Spring Lake, NJ 07762), about 20 miles north, is a classic oceanfront property. For any of these, the most common setup is a hotel shuttle loop — picking up guests from a hotel block in Brick or Toms River and running them to the venue for the ceremony and reception, then returning them at the end of the night.
Give the exact venue address and the hotel pickup location with the request so the right vehicle is matched to the route.
Yes — the network serves school districts, colleges, and universities throughout the region. In Brick itself, Brick Memorial High School (2001 Lanes Mill Rd, Brick, NJ 08724) and Brick Township High School (346 Chambersbridge Rd, Brick, NJ 08723) are the two main high schools, along with the township's middle and elementary schools. Ocean County College (1 College Dr, Toms River, NJ 08754) is the primary community college for the area, about 8–10 miles south.
Georgian Court University (900 Lakewood Ave, Lakewood, NJ 08701) is roughly 12–15 miles west. Rutgers University–New Brunswick is about 45 miles north, approximately 50–70 minutes via the Parkway. Field trips and team travel typically load at the school or campus itself — campuses have designated bus loading zones, and the driver works with the group coordinator on the approach.
Student trips should include the exact headcount and any chaperone or accessibility needs with the request.
Yes — and this is one of the most popular use cases for groups coming out of Brick. Atlantic City is the top casino destination, about 50–60 miles south via the Garden State Parkway — approximately 50–70 minutes — with the Borgata (1 Borgata Way), Hard Rock Hotel & Casino (1000 Boardwalk), Caesars (2100 Pacific Ave), and Ocean Casino Resort (500 Boardwalk) all within the same district. Closer to home, Jenkinson's Boardwalk (300 Ocean Ave, Point Pleasant Beach, NJ 08742) is about 5–8 miles north and a natural first stop for summer nights.
The Asbury Park boardwalk and nightlife district — the Stone Pony, Wonder Bar, Asbury Lanes — is about 25–30 miles north, approximately 30–40 minutes. For brewery stops, Toms River Brewing (1 Main St, Toms River, NJ 08753) is about 8–10 miles south, and Backward Flag Brewing (75 Leila Ave, Forked River, NJ 08731) is about 15 miles south. A multi-stop route is timed by how long the group plans to spend at each location — list the stops and the estimated time at each one with the request so the hours are priced correctly from the start.
Yes — long-distance charters from Brick are booked regularly through the network. New York City is about 65–75 miles north, approximately 75–100 minutes via the Garden State Parkway and NJ Turnpike — the most common long-distance destination for Brick groups. Philadelphia is about 80 miles west, approximately 90–120 minutes.
Washington, D.C. is roughly 165 miles southwest, approximately 2.5–3.5 hours. The Pocono Mountains are about 80–90 miles west, approximately 1.5–2 hours — popular for ski weekends and retreats. Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson is only about 15–20 miles west, approximately 20–30 minutes — close enough for a half-day trip.
Boston is roughly 290 miles northeast, approximately 4.5–5.5 hours. Walt Disney World and Universal Studios Orlando are about 1,100 miles south — a long overnight run that works well as a multi-day charter. Long-distance trips are typically booked as one-way transfers or multi-day packages rather than by the hour.
For any overnight or multi-day itinerary, lay out the full schedule — all stops, overnight locations, and return timing — with the request so it comes back priced correctly.
