How far in advance should I reserve my bus?
New York City is an extremely active charter bus market. The sooner you reserve, the better. Buses are reserved on a first come, first served basis and can sell out fast during busy times.
What if my bus is late, or we have a breakdown during our trip?
Metropolitan Shuttle has an 24/7 emergency number in case of an issue with your trip. Our team is standing by to help you. Trust us to make your New York experience the best it can be!
If I don’t need the bus for the entire day, will I still need to pay for it for the entire day?
Most charter services in New York have four- or five-hour minimums on vehicle rentals. Therefore, if your event is from 9am to 5pm and you’re booking a vehicle for transportation both to and from, it could cost the same amount to keep the vehicle for the day as it would to have it leave and come back for the return trip. However, there are occasions when we can offer special one-way transfer rates to accommodate those types of circumstances. Talk to our New York specialists today!
