Edison Minibus Rentals

The inside of a minibus looks like a smaller version of a full-size charter bus, with forward-facing seats arranged in rows, a center aisle, and either cloth or vinyl upholstery depending on the model. Most minibuses have high-back reclining seats, overhead storage racks, individual reading lights, and optional features like video monitors mounted at the front or mid-cabin. The interior width is typically around 7–8 feet, allowing for comfortable seating but less room than a standard coach bus. Flooring is usually rubberized vinyl for durability and easy cleaning. Some newer models include USB ports at each seat, LED accent lighting, and upgraded sound systems.

A minibus has anywhere from 15 to 35 seats, depending on the exact model and how it’s configured. Smaller minibuses—like a Ford E-450 or a Turtle Top VanTerra—typically seat 15 to 24 passengers. Mid-size models—such as a Grech Motors GM28 or a Champion Challenger—hold between 25 and 35 people. The most common sizes are 21-passenger, 23-passenger, and 28-passenger layouts. If you need something larger, some manufacturers offer “midi-coaches” that can seat up to 38 passengers, but anything above that is considered a full-size bus. Always check the floor plan because luggage racks, rear storage, or ADA-accessible wheelchair positions can reduce total seating capacity.

Every minibus rental in Edison includes comfortable, forward-facing seats with headrests and armrests, powerful air conditioning and heating systems, and large tinted windows for natural light and great views. Many of our minibuses also come equipped with free WiFi so passengers can stay connected on the road, flat-screen TVs with DVD players or HDMI inputs for entertainment, and PA systems or wireless microphones for announcements. Additional amenities may include 110V power outlets or USB ports at each row, overhead storage compartments for small bags, and custom LED lighting. If you have specific needs, just ask—we’ll match you with a minibus that has the exact features you want.

Yes, most modern minibuses have outlets—including both standard 110V power sockets and USB ports—either at each row of seats or shared between pairs of seats. Older models may only have a few outlets located at the front or rear of the cabin, but newer buses are designed to keep everyone’s devices charged. If your group requires a specific number of outlets or needs them in certain locations, let your reservation specialist know when you book—they’ll make sure you get a vehicle that meets your requirements. It’s also possible to request a minibus with upgraded electrical options if you need to plug in laptops, medical equipment, or other high-draw devices during your trip.

Most minibuses do not have bathrooms onboard due to their smaller size compared to full-size charter buses. However, some larger minibus models (typically those with 35 seats) may be equipped with a compact restroom at the rear of the vehicle. If having a bathroom is essential for your trip, please specify this requirement when booking so we can ensure a suitable vehicle is provided. For groups traveling on minibuses without restrooms, we recommend planning regular stops at rest areas or other facilities along your route. Full-size charter buses are always available as an alternative and come standard with onboard lavatories.

Minibuses have limited luggage space compared to full-size charter buses, but there are still options for storing bags and equipment. Most minibuses feature overhead compartments inside the cabin, similar to those on airplanes, which are suitable for backpacks, purses, and small carry-on items. Some models also include a rear storage area accessible through the back door, providing additional room for suitcases or larger items. If you need to transport more substantial luggage, certain minibuses offer undercarriage storage compartments, though these are less common. It’s important to discuss your storage needs with your reservation specialist when booking to ensure the minibus selected has adequate space for all your belongings.

The cost to rent a minibus in Edison typically ranges from $1,200 to $3,500 per day, depending on the size of the vehicle, duration of the rental, and distance traveled. Pricing can also be structured hourly (averaging $175–$375 per hour with a four-hour minimum) or by mileage for longer trips. Additional expenses such as tolls, parking fees, and optional amenities may apply. To get an accurate quote tailored to your specific trip details, contact our team with information about your itinerary, group size, and any special requests. We provide transparent pricing and will outline all costs upfront so there are no surprises.

You should book your Edison minibus rental at least 6–9 months in advance to ensure availability and secure the best rates, especially if your trip falls during peak travel seasons or coincides with major local events. Edison hosts numerous events throughout the year that can significantly increase demand for group transportation, such as Rutgers University commencement ceremonies, NJ Expo Center conventions, and high school sports tournaments. Waiting until the last minute may limit your options or result in higher prices due to limited supply. Once you have confirmed your travel dates and itinerary, contact our team as soon as possible to reserve your vehicle. We require a signed contract and deposit to hold the reservation, with final payment due prior to departure.

Booking a minibus rental in Edison is simple and can be done entirely online or over the phone. Start by gathering key details about your trip, including the date and time of departure, pickup and drop-off locations, number of passengers, and any specific amenities or features you require. Once you have this information, contact our reservation specialists by calling our 24/7 hotline or filling out the quote form on our website. We’ll quickly provide you with a personalized quote based on your exact needs. If you’re satisfied with the quote, you can reserve the minibus by signing the contract electronically and making a deposit payment. Our team will then finalize the details and send you a confirmation with all the relevant information about your rental. We pride ourselves on offering flexible scheduling, transparent pricing, and exceptional customer service from start to finish.

No, your quote does not include tolls or parking fees. You are responsible for paying any tolls incurred during your trip, either by reimbursing the driver directly or settling the amount after the trip concludes. Parking fees are also not included and must be paid separately. This is especially important for destinations like MetLife Stadium, where parking passes can cost $150 or more per vehicle, and the Prudential Center, which charges $40–$50 for bus parking. We recommend researching parking rates at your destination in advance and budgeting accordingly to avoid any surprises on the day of your trip.

While Edison offers public transit options like NJ Transit trains and buses, these services operate on fixed schedules and routes that may not align with your group’s specific needs. NJ Transit’s Northeast Corridor Line runs through Edison Station and Metuchen Station, providing access to New York Penn Station, Newark Penn Station, and Trenton Transit Center. Several NJ Transit bus routes also serve the area, connecting riders to nearby towns and cities. However, relying on public transportation can be inconvenient for large groups, especially when traveling with luggage or equipment. Transfers, delays, and crowded vehicles can make the journey stressful and time-consuming. A private minibus rental offers door-to-door service, customized itineraries, and a comfortable, exclusive environment for your group. You set the schedule and route, ensuring everyone arrives together and on time. It’s the most reliable and efficient way to travel in and around Edison.
