1. Are there any restrictions on charter buses in NYC?
Yes—especially in Lower Manhattan, maneuvering a full-sized motorcoach can be challenging due to oversized vehicle restrictions.
Your charter bus driver can use designated NYC truck routes to get around town and detour to local public bus routes to get your passengers where they need to be. Check the New York City Traffic Rules before your visit for more information.
2. Where can I park a charter bus in NYC?
Depending on where you book your lodging and the shape of your itinerary, the best charter bus parking areas in Lower Manhattan can be found at Battery Park, the World Trade Center (with a prior DOT registration), and the South Street Seaport.
When mapping out your itinerary, be mindful that your bus cannot pick up or drop off at designated “No Stopping Anytime” zones, a public bus stop, or in a vehicle travel lane. Some metered spots can accommodate a charter bus rental, but most have a 3-hour time limit.
For more information, refer to NYC’s tour bus guidelines.
3. When should I take the Subway, bus, or ferry and when should I rely on my charter bus in NYC?
It depends on who you’re traveling with and where in the city you need to go.
If you’re with a group that can easily fit in a car or traversing densely populated spots like Lower Manhattan, the NYC public transit system (including the subway, public buses, and the Staten Island ferry) may be the best option.
That being said, subway lines thin out as you travel into the Bronx, Queens, and beyond, and navigating the trains with a large group of people can be a challenge. If you’re traveling with a larger crowd or to places less frequented by public transit, consider renting a bus to keep everyone together and arriving on a schedule you set!
With so much to see and experience in NYC, narrowing down your itinerary can be overwhelming. Don’t worry—we’ve put together some of the most popular destinations our passengers have visited in the Big Apple, based on interests. Some are timeless classics every NYC visitor should prioritize, while others are hidden gems returning travelers can enjoy without bumping into too many tourists. Keep reading to get inspired!
As one of the biggest cultural hubs in the world, New York City is full of world-class museums and galleries. Round up your art enthusiasts and explore the city’s top artistic spaces at your own pace—with a comfy charter bus seat waiting for you when you’re ready to head out.
