Types of Buses Available
Full-Size Charter Buses, Minibuses & Party Buses for Airport Transportation
That’s the best part about using a comparison website instead of a single fleet: one local operator might only have vans, while another only runs motorcoaches, but here you get the widest selection in one search! Small executive teams flying into Colonie can reserve an 11- to 14-passenger sprinter van with a driver or a nimble 15-passenger minibus with overhead storage equal to one carry-on bag per person. Bringing 50+ passengers with a week’s worth of heavy suitcases? Book a full-size 56-passenger charter bus with massive undercarriage luggage bays, an onboard restroom, WiFi, and power outlets, or kick off a celebration straight from the terminal in a 15- to 50-passenger party bus with wraparound leather seating and LED lighting!

*Planning estimates from the independent bus companies in the network, not a quote for your date. Each route is figured from weekday hourly rates for the bus's drive there and back, rounded up to whole hours, with the 2-hour minimum. Your exact price depends on your travel date, passenger and luggage count, and the bus you pick. Standard minimums: 2 hours Monday through Wednesday or earlier in the day, 3 hours or more after 5 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, and up to 5 hours on the busiest dates. These are just standard minimums. Outside trip costs like and parking are paid separately.

Once your whole group has collected its luggage from baggage claim, text your driver to pull up for active loading! After you book online, our confirmation department will verify your exact terminal meetup spot.
