New Rochelle sits just 16 miles north of Midtown Manhattan on the Long Island Sound — close enough to the city for a concert run, relaxed enough for a waterfront celebration.

Call 929-259-3010 or use our online quote tool to lock in your date today.

Party Bus Rental Bronx is a group transportation booking company serving New Rochelle and the entire Westchester and Bronx corridor. Since 2011, we have coordinated thousands of group trips — from quinceañera convoys through downtown New Rochelle to multi-bus school runs to the Bronx Zoo — and we know the specific pain points that come with moving a group across the Hutchinson River Parkway or the New England Thruway at the wrong hour. You get all-inclusive pricing online in under 30 seconds, with no hidden costs and no surprises when the invoice arrives.
Our 24/7 reservation team is always one call away to sort out timing, route questions, and last-minute headcount changes.
Our fleet ranges from 14-passenger Sprinter limos to full 56-passenger charter buses, which means you never pay for empty seats. A small bridal party shuttle from the New Rochelle train station to a venue in Pelham needs a different vehicle than a 48-person school trip to the New York Botanical Garden — and we match the right bus to the trip every time. ADA-accessible vehicles are available on request; just let us know when you book.
Call 929-259-3010 any time to talk through your itinerary.
The fleet available for New Rochelle party bus rentals includes 14-passenger Sprinter limos, 15- to 50-passenger party buses, 15- to 35-passenger minibuses, and 40- to 56-passenger charter buses. Small crew heading downtown? One Sprinter handles it.
Full senior class road trip? A 56-passenger coach with undercarriage bays keeps everyone together without renting two vans.
Party buses in the 15- to 50-passenger range come loaded with a full-length onboard bar, color-changing LED lighting, Bluetooth sound with a premium speaker setup, flat-panel TVs, and wraparound perimeter seating with an open dance floor in the center — the right pick for a bachelorette night that starts in New Rochelle and ends somewhere in the Bronx at 2 a.m. Minibuses bring powerful A/C, plush reclining seats, and overhead storage, which makes them the go-to for wedding guest shuttles and corporate transfers between Westchester offices and Manhattan. Full-size charter buses add undercarriage luggage bays, onboard restrooms, WiFi, and power outlets at every row — essential for school trips, convention runs, and anything heading to JFK or EWR with a group's worth of checked-bag luggage.
Every vehicle has climate control. The right amenity set depends on your trip type; tell us the occasion when you call and we will match you to the right vehicle.

New Rochelle party bus rental prices run as follows: 14-passenger Sprinter limos start at $170–$344/hour; 15–20 passenger party buses run $204–$378/hour; 20–30 passenger party buses run $244–$414/hour; 35–50 passenger party buses and minibuses run $294–$490/hour; and 40–56 passenger charter buses run $150–$300/hour or $1,200–$2,500/day.
What shapes your quote: vehicle size, how many hours the bus is on the clock, the date, and the distance of your route. A 4-hour bachelorette run to the Bronx prices differently than a full-day charter heading to a stadium in New Jersey. Weekend rates consistently run higher than weekday rates, and prom season — late April through May — is the single tightest supply window of the year across Westchester County.

New Rochelle is hemmed in by the New England Thruway (I-95), the Hutchinson River Parkway, and the Pelham Parkway — three of the most reliably congested roads in the New York metro area. Getting a group of 20 people to Yankee Stadium on a Saturday evening means coordinating five separate cars across the interchange at Exit 16 while every other Westchester resident is doing the same thing. One bus cuts that down to one decision, one departure time, and one parking situation — handled.
Party Bus Rental Bronx has been booking these exact trips since 2011. We know which roads back up before a Yankee playoff game, which lots around Orchard Beach fill by noon, and why showing up to a cruise departure at Manhattan's Pier 88 with six separate cars is a headache that ruins the embarkation morning. Our 24/7 team answers calls at any hour — including the 11 p.m. call when the concert runs long and your group needs pickup moved 45 minutes.
You get transparent all-inclusive pricing in under 30 seconds online, ADA-accessible vehicles available on request, and one consistent point of contact from first quote to final drop-off. Groups across Westchester and the Bronx keep coming back because the logistics actually work.
Party Bus Rental Bronx handles group transportation for every occasion out of New Rochelle — from airport transfers and prom nights to corporate shuttles, wedding weekends, and everything in between. Whatever brings your group together, we have a vehicle and a plan ready. Call 929-259-3010 to get moving.
New Rochelle sits in a rare position for Westchester: it has reasonable access to three major airports, and every one of them is a different logistical problem for a group. LaGuardia Airport (LGA) (Queens, NY 11371) is the closest at roughly 18 miles, but the Van Wyck approach and the Triboro Bridge interchange reliably add 30–45 minutes on any weekday morning. John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) (Queens, NY 11430) runs about 28 miles and requires navigating the Belt Parkway or the Van Wyck — budget 50–70 minutes outside of light traffic.
Newark Liberty (EWR) (3 Brewster Rd, Newark, NJ 07114) is the longest haul at 35-plus miles via the George Washington Bridge or the Goethals, but it often has the fastest domestic fares from the New York region.
A New Rochelle airport shuttle bus rental makes the multi-stop morning manageable: one vehicle picks up the group across two or three addresses in New Rochelle and White Plains, loads all the luggage into the undercarriage bays, and pulls up to departures curbside so nobody is dragging a 50-pound bag across a terminal parking garage. Call 929-259-3010 to set the route.
The Sound Shore restaurant and bar strip along Main Street and along Pelham Road in New Rochelle makes a solid first stop — dinner, drinks, and a waterfront vibe before the group moves south toward the Bronx or Manhattan for the rest of the night. The Route 1 corridor has enough to keep a bachelorette crew busy for hours, and the Hudson Yards rooftop bars are 45 minutes away when the group is ready to escalate. A New Rochelle bachelorette party bus comes with the onboard bar, LED lighting, and premium sound already built in — the party starts the moment the group boards on North Avenue, not when you finally find a table somewhere.
No one draws the short straw for designated driver. No surge pricing at 2 a.m. when the group decides to stay for one more song. Call 929-259-3010 and tell us the stops and the headcount; we handle the rest.
New Rochelle has a large and active Latin community that throws some of the most elaborate quinceañera celebrations in Westchester County, and a party bus arrival is one of the most memorable entrances a fifteen-year-old can make. Reception halls like Royal Regency Hall (30 Regency Dr, Yonkers, NY 10710) and venues along Central Park Avenue in Yonkers handle events of 150-plus guests — and a party bus that pulls up with the quinceañera and her court makes the reveal. For Sweet 16s and milestone adult birthdays, our 15- to 50-passenger party buses can be pre-loaded with a custom playlist and coordinated in a color scheme to match your décor.
Whether the night finishes back in New Rochelle or continues into the Bronx or Manhattan, the bus keeps your group together and on your schedule — not dependent on who ordered the right rideshare at the right time. Call 929-259-3010 to talk vehicles and timing.
The two concert anchors for a New Rochelle group are Yankee Stadium (1 E 161st St, Bronx, NY 10451), which hosts stadium-scale touring acts from May through September between baseball dates, and Lehman Center for the Performing Arts (250 Bedford Park Blvd W, Bronx, NY 10468), which brings in Latin, Caribbean, R&B, and world music acts in an intimate 2,300-seat setting all year. For stadium shows, the 4 train to 161st Street is technically an option — but convincing 30 people to meet at the New Rochelle Metro-North platform, transfer at Grand Central, and navigate the subway with a full crowd is its own logistical adventure. A concert bus rental in New Rochelle picks everyone up at one address, drops your group at the River Avenue commercial vehicle zone near Gate 4, and has the bus waiting for your post-show pickup so nobody is competing with 40,000 other fans for an Uber at midnight.
Call 929-259-3010 to plan the route.
New Rochelle is a commuter city with a significant business population that regularly moves between Westchester County offices and Manhattan meeting venues — and I-95 southbound at 8 a.m. is not a situation that makes anyone show up sharp. A New Rochelle corporate bus rental picks your team up on a scheduled loop from the New Rochelle Metro-North station plaza or from office parking lots along North Avenue, and delivers them to the Javits Center (429 11th Ave, New York, NY 10001), Pier 60 at Chelsea Piers (60 Chelsea Piers, New York, NY 10011), or midtown hotel conference rooms without anyone burning mental energy on the George Washington Bridge. WiFi and power outlets on full-size charter buses mean the commute becomes a working session instead of lost time.
For recurring corporate shuttle contracts or one-time conference transfers, call 929-259-3010 and we will build the schedule around your event.
New Rochelle's waterfront along Echo Bay and the Hudson River corridor gives it a character that's genuinely different from the surrounding metro — and private group outings here have real options. Hudson Park on Pelham Road hosts summer concerts and waterfront gatherings that draw families and young professionals from across Westchester. The New Rochelle Farmers Market at Library Green runs Saturdays through the season.
For groups coming in from out of town — family reunions, religious retreats, alumni weekends — a charter bus picks everyone up from the White Plains or New Rochelle Metro-North station and runs a full-day itinerary through New Rochelle, Pelham, and down into the Bronx without anyone needing a car. During the holiday season and summer weekends, parking along Main Street and near the Echo Bay waterfront backs up fast. One bus replaces five cars, one parking situation, and five separate navigation apps all fighting over the same stretch of North Avenue.
Call 929-259-3010 to build the itinerary.
Westchester County high schools — including New Rochelle High School (265 Clove Rd, New Rochelle, NY 10801) — hold proms at venues ranging from catering halls in Tuckahoe to Manhattan waterfront ballrooms, and the demand for buses peaks hard in the April-to-May window. Every Westchester school district runs prom within roughly a six-week stretch. Book by January for a May prom date — waiting until March typically means premium pricing, and waiting until April often means the right vehicle size is already gone.
A typical 6-hour prom rental for 30 students, covering school pickup, a photo stop, venue drop-off, and after-party return, runs $1,800–$2,200 booked four to six months early. That same rental runs $2,800–$3,500 or more when booked last-minute. Parent committees and student groups across New Rochelle and Westchester rely on us to plan prom transportation that actually keeps everyone on schedule.
Call 929-259-3010 to lock in your date.
Teachers and administrators booking field trips out of New Rochelle have reliable access to some of the best educational venues in the country — and the logistics of getting there are exactly where a charter bus earns its keep. The Bronx Zoo (2300 Southern Blvd, Bronx, NY 10460) is about 10 miles south via the Hutchinson River Parkway, close enough for a half-day trip and back before lunch. The New York Botanical Garden (2900 Southern Blvd, Bronx, NY 10458) sits next door and handles school group arrivals through a dedicated bus unloading zone near the Mosholu Gate.
Pelham Bay Park (just south of the city line) has environmental education programming that fits a short bus run from New Rochelle. Full-size charter buses give students reclining seats, overhead storage for lunchboxes and bags, and TV monitors for educational content on the way down; undercarriage bays hold coolers, equipment, and gear so the interior stays organized. ADA-accessible buses are always available — flag it when you reserve.
Call 929-259-3010 for school trip transportation from New Rochelle.
The primary sporting destination for New Rochelle fans is Yankee Stadium (1 E 161st St, Bronx, NY 10451), 16 miles south via the Hutchinson River Parkway to the Bruckner Expressway. On a regular season Sunday, that drive takes 25–30 minutes. On a Yankees playoff game, with I-95 and the 161st Street ramps backed up to the Tremont Avenue exit, it takes significantly longer — and every car in the fan group is competing for the same overpriced parking in the River Avenue lots.
A New Rochelle charter bus to Yankee Stadium puts your crew in one vehicle, drops the group on the River Avenue commercial vehicle corridor near the stadium entrance, and has the bus waiting for a post-game pickup rather than leaving everyone to scramble for rideshares in the 161st Street gridlock. For Mets games at Citi Field (12601 Roosevelt Ave, Queens, NY 11368) or Nets and Knicks events at Barclays Center or Madison Square Garden, the routing changes but the math stays the same — one bus, one drop, one pickup. Call 929-259-3010 to book your game-day transportation.
New Rochelle and the surrounding Sound Shore area has a solid roster of wedding venues — Glen Island Harbour Club (Glen Island Park, New Rochelle, NY 10805) is one of the most photographed waterfront reception venues in Westchester, with ceremony space overlooking Long Island Sound. Getting guests from scattered hotels in New Rochelle and White Plains to a venue on an island accessed by a single causeway road requires real coordination. A wedding shuttle bus in New Rochelle keeps the timeline intact: staggered pickup loops from your hotel, a clear arrival window at the venue, and return shuttles that run until the last guest is back at the hotel without anyone needing to call a car at midnight in formal wear.
Nobody in the wedding party navigates the causeway road to Glen Island in the dark after an open bar. Sprinter limos handle bridal party runs with premium leather, individual reading lights, and USB charging at every seat. Because we have been coordinating Westchester wedding shuttles since 2011, your timeline stays tight from first quote to final drop-off.
Call 929-259-3010 for a wedding transportation quote.
The Hudson Valley wine corridor begins about 45 minutes north of New Rochelle and holds some genuinely excellent tasting rooms. Brotherhood Winery (100 Brotherhood Plaza Dr, Washingtonville, NY 10992) — the oldest winery in the United States, founded in 1839 — is about an hour north via the Thruway and offers cave tastings, a bistro menu, and a sprawling historic property that rewards a long afternoon. Whitecliff Vineyard (331 McKinstry Rd, Gardiner, NY 12525) in the Shawangunk Wine Trail draws Westchester groups regularly for its Rieslings and its mountain backdrop.
Closer to New Rochelle, the Sound Shore craft beer scene along Main Street and into Mount Vernon has enough variety for a focused pub crawl without leaving the county. A New Rochelle winery tour bus rental means no one is calculating who has to stay sober for the drive home on the Taconic State Parkway at dusk. The group stays together at every stop, and the bus is waiting at the last tasting room when you are done.
Call 929-259-3010 to plan the route.

Booked this for a friend's big send off and it was the most fun celebration ever. We rode around laughing all night with the music going. The bus was spacious and the lights set the mood. Setting it up took no time. Exactly the lift she needed and we all had a ball.

We took the bus for a brewery day with friends and it was ideal. Nobody had to skip the fun to drive, and the ride between spots was its own good time. Plenty of room and a solid sound system. Booking ahead was clear and easy. Made for a perfect, worry free day out.
Felicity B.
Used it for a surprise engagement celebration and it was magical. We gathered everyone and rode to the spot together with the energy already buzzing. The interior was clean and comfortable and the lights felt special. The booking was smooth. A beautiful way to mark the moment.
Mateo R.
Got the bus for a guys' poker weekend and it was a great way to kick things off. We all rode in together with snacks and music going. The seats were comfortable and there was room to relax. Reserving it was quick and the pickup was on time. We'll do it again next year.
New Rochelle party bus rental prices vary by vehicle size, date, and how many hours you need. Here are the current ranges: 14-passenger Sprinter limos run $170–$344/hour; 15–20 passenger party buses run $204–$378/hour; 20–30 passenger party buses run $244–$414/hour; 35–50 passenger party buses and minibuses run $294–$490/hour; and 40–56 passenger charter buses run $150–$300/hour or $1,200–$2,500/day. Weekend bookings and peak-season dates — prom season, summer Saturdays, New Year's Eve — typically land toward the higher end of those ranges.

The New Rochelle Metro-North station (110 Lawton St, New Rochelle, NY 10801) has a surface parking area and street frontage along Lawton Street that works well for bus staging. For groups arriving on the New Haven Line, time the bus arrival to your train's scheduled time — not the optimistic one, but the realistic one accounting for Metro-North's typical weekday delays. Have your group gather on the Lawton Street sidewalk outside the main station entrance before calling for the bus to pull forward.
During rush-hour pickup windows (7–9 a.m. and 5–7 p.m.), the station lot fills fast with commuter parking and the surrounding streets tighten up, so build a 10-minute buffer into your pickup plan. Our team will walk you through the staging details when you book.
Yes — and this is one of the most common multi-stop runs we handle out of Westchester. The Manhattan cruise terminals are at Pier 88, 90, and 92 on the Hudson River waterfront (711–855 12th Ave, New York, NY 10019), roughly 25 miles from New Rochelle via I-95 south and the Henry Hudson Parkway. The drive runs 35–50 minutes outside of peak traffic.
On embarkation mornings, the West Side Highway corridor backs up significantly as every cruise group in the metro area converges on the same piers. A charter bus picks up your group across multiple New Rochelle and Westchester addresses, loads all the luggage into the undercarriage bays, and delivers everyone curbside at your specific pier without anyone hauling suitcases through the parking garage at the wrong terminal building. Book the bus at the same time you book the cruise — embarkation morning is not the time to figure out coordination.
The honest answer is: earlier than you think. Prom season (late April through May) and summer Saturdays are the two hardest windows to find availability in Westchester. For prom, the entire county moves within the same six-week window, and the right vehicle size at the right price goes to whoever books in January or February — not April.
For summer weddings and major birthday events, 3–4 months out is the target. For regular-season sporting events and weeknight runs, 2–3 weeks is workable. The one date that surprises people every year: New Year's Eve books out faster than any other night on the calendar, often by October for December 31st.
Call as soon as your date is set.
Yes — and the routing and drop-off details matter here. From New Rochelle, the cleanest approach to Yankee Stadium is the Hutchinson River Parkway to the Bruckner Expressway (I-278) west, then the exit at 149th Street or 161st Street depending on current event-day closures. Commercial vehicles drop groups along the River Avenue corridor on the west side of the stadium — the exact spot shifts depending on the event and what NYPD has closed.
For major playoff games and stadium concerts, River Avenue commercial traffic is managed by NYPD officers, and the approach from the Major Deegan (I-87) is typically better than fighting through the 149th Street interchange on event days. We confirm the current drop-off routing for your specific event date when you book, since it changes. Review the official Yankee Stadium transportation page before your visit for current NYPD event-day protocols.
For most New Rochelle party bus rentals, 4–6 weeks of lead time secures good availability and the best pricing. The exceptions are meaningful: prom season (book by January for an April–May date), summer Saturdays from June through August (book 2–3 months out), New Year's Eve (book by October), and any weekend that coincides with a Yankees playoff game or a major stadium concert (book the moment tickets go on sale). Waiting until the week before typically means either the right vehicle is unavailable, you are paying the highest rate in the range, or both.
Call 929-259-3010 as soon as your date is confirmed — we can hold a reservation while you finalize your headcount.
New Rochelle's position on the Sound Shore gives groups quick access to Bronx landmarks, Manhattan venues, Long Island Sound waterfront destinations, and Hudson Valley day trips — all within an hour. Here are six destinations that New Rochelle groups book most often, with the logistics every first-timer needs to know.
Yankee Stadium (1 E 161st St, Bronx, NY 10451) holds 46,537 fans and hosts MLB regular season games from April through September, postseason games when the Yankees advance, and stadium-scale concerts throughout the summer. From New Rochelle, the drive is roughly 16 miles south — 25 minutes off-peak, 45–60 minutes on a game day evening heading into the 161st Street cluster. Parking in the nearby River Avenue garages runs $35–$50 on event days and sells out hours before first pitch.
The rideshare pickup zone is set away from the main gates and gets overwhelmed after games. A bus drops your group at the River Avenue commercial vehicle zone and waits for the post-game pickup, so nobody is making the walk back to a remote lot at 11 p.m. The Yankee Stadium transportation page publishes current event-day NYPD protocols and approach road closures.
Address: 1 E 161st St, Bronx, NY 10451
Phone: (718) 293-4300
Glen Island Harbour Club (Glen Island Park, New Rochelle, NY 10805) occupies a private island in Long Island Sound connected to the mainland by a single causeway off Weyman Avenue — one of the most scenic waterfront event venues in Westchester County. The venue handles weddings, quinceañeras, and corporate galas for up to 500 guests, with panoramic water views from the ballroom floor. The causeway access road is a single lane in each direction, which means post-event vehicle traffic backs up significantly as 400-plus guests try to leave within the same 30-minute window.
A shuttle bus making pre-arranged pickup loops from the parking area keeps your wedding party and guests moving instead of idling in a causeway queue. Contact Glen Island Harbour Club directly at (914) 636-1100 for group event coordination and vendor access timing.
Address: Glen Island Park, New Rochelle, NY 10805
Phone: (914) 636-1100
Lehman Center for the Performing Arts (250 Bedford Park Blvd W, Bronx, NY 10468) is a 2,307-seat concert hall on the Lehman College campus that books Latin pop, Caribbean, R&B, gospel, and world music acts year-round — often names that sell out every ticket in Westchester and the Bronx within days of going on sale. From New Rochelle, Lehman Center is about 8 miles south via the Hutchinson River Parkway to the Mosholu Parkway — a straight shot that runs 20 minutes in light traffic. Parking on the Lehman College campus is available but limited on concert nights, and the surrounding Bedford Park neighborhood residential streets enforce permit parking.
Bus drop-off uses the Bedford Park Boulevard West frontage. The Lehman Center visit page publishes current parking and accessibility information for group visits.
Address: 250 Bedford Park Blvd W, Bronx, NY 10468
Phone: (718) 960-8833
The Bronx Zoo (2300 Southern Blvd, Bronx, NY 10460) covers 265 acres and is the largest metropolitan zoo in the country, with more than 6,000 animals across 700 species. It is one of the top school field trip destinations in the New York metro area, and New Rochelle school groups make the 10-mile run down the Hutch to Southern Boulevard regularly throughout the school year. The zoo's group and school entrance is on Southern Boulevard near the Rainey Gate, and bus parking is available in the South Parking Lot with advance coordination through the zoo's group sales team.
Admission for school groups runs significantly below general admission with advance booking. The Bronx Zoo group visits page has current rates, school pricing, and bus parking reservation details. Book your date early in the fall — April and May dates fill months ahead as every school in the metro scrambles for the same spring windows.
Address: 2300 Southern Blvd, Bronx, NY 10460
Phone: (718) 220-5100
The New York Botanical Garden (2900 Southern Blvd, Bronx, NY 10458) occupies 250 acres adjacent to the Bronx Zoo and draws more than one million visitors per year to its 50 distinct gardens, the Enid A. Haupt Conservatory, and rotating seasonal exhibitions including the Winter Wonderland trains display (November–January) and the Orchid Show (February–April). School group bus arrivals use the Mosholu Gate on Mosholu Parkway, where buses unload before the group enters through the dedicated school entrance. The NYBG strongly recommends advance scheduling for school groups, and the Spring Orchid Show period is the tightest booking window of the year — buses from across Westchester, the Bronx, and Manhattan compete for the same Saturday morning slots.
The NYBG group visit page has current school rates, bus logistics, and seasonal calendar details.

Brotherhood Winery (100 Brotherhood Plaza Dr, Washingtonville, NY 10992) is the oldest continuously operating winery in the United States, established in 1839, and sits about 55 miles northwest of New Rochelle via the New York State Thruway (I-87) north to Exit 16. The property includes underground wine caves dating to the 19th century, a bistro, and a spacious event facility that accommodates private winery tours and tastings for groups of 10 to 200. Weekend tasting afternoons book out fast in May through October — the Hudson Valley wine season draws heavy Westchester weekend traffic.
A charter bus from New Rochelle handles the Thruway run and keeps every member of your tasting group free to sample without anyone calculating who drives back on I-87 at dusk. Contact Brotherhood directly at (845) 496-3661 for group tour reservations, and book your bus well before peak foliage season in October when demand spikes across the Hudson Valley.
