A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Glen Island Park
If there is one destination that defines the recreational spirit of New Rochelle, it is Glen Island Park. This 105-acre island property, connected to the mainland by a drawbridge, is steeped in history and natural beauty. Historically known as the "Theme Park of the World" before Disney existed and the site of the famous Glen Island Casino where the Big Band era flourished, today it serves as a premier destination for outdoor gatherings and elegant events.
For groups, Glen Island is a versatile destination. If you are planning a large family reunion or a corporate picnic, the park offers extensive picnic pavilions and open spaces perfect for team-building activities. For wedding parties, the Glen Island Harbour Club (located within the park) is one of Westchester's most sought-after venues, offering panoramic water views. By booking a wedding shuttle with Charter Bus New Rochelle, you ensure your guests arrive at the venue on time and return to their hotels safely after a night of celebration. Your driver can drop your group right at the park entrance at Weyman Avenue, New Rochelle, NY 10805, avoiding the hassle of finding parking on busy summer weekends.
Thomas Paine Cottage Museum
History buffs and educational groups cannot miss the Thomas Paine Cottage Museum. This saltbox-style house was the final home of Thomas Paine, the author of Common Sense and a founding father of the American Revolution. For school field trips and historical societies, this is an invaluable local resource that brings the 18th century to life right in New Rochelle.
The museum offers guided tours that dive deep into the Revolutionary War era, Paine's life, and the early history of New Rochelle. Because the cottage is located in a residential area, parking a fleet of cars or school buses can be a logistical headache. A charter bus rental simplifies this entirely. We can arrange for a seamless drop-off right at the curb so your group can step straight into history. After touring the cottage, your group can walk the grounds or visit the nearby Sophia Brewster Schoolhouse. You can find this historical gem at 20 Sicard Ave, New Rochelle, NY 10804.
New Roc City
When it comes to entertainment, New Roc City is the beating heart of New Rochelle. This massive entertainment complex is a favorite destination for youth groups, birthday parties, and camp outings. With a Regal IMAX movie theater, a bowling alley, an arcade, mini-golf, and an indoor trampoline park all under one roof, it is the ultimate "one-stop-shop" for fun.
Transporting a group of excited teenagers or children can be stressful, but a private bus rental keeps everyone contained, safe, and accounted for. Instead of trying to coordinate a caravan of parents to navigate downtown traffic, load everyone onto a minibus or coach bus equipped with DVD players to keep the energy high (or calm) on the way there. Your driver can navigate the busy streets around 33 LeCount Place, New Rochelle, NY 10801, drop your group at the main entrance, and wait nearby until you are ready to head home.
Hudson Park & Beach
For a relaxing day by the water without leaving the city limits, Hudson Park & Beach is the place to be. As one of the oldest parks in the city, it offers a grassy recreation area, a playground for younger children, and a sandy beach directly on the Long Island Sound. It is a fantastic spot for summer camp trips, community organization outings, or a relaxing afternoon for senior citizen groups.
During the summer months, the Hudson Park bandshell hosts outdoor concerts that draw crowds from all over Westchester. Parking during these events is notoriously difficult. With a Charter Bus New Rochelle rental, you bypass the parking lot circles entirely. We can drop your group off right near the beach entrance so you can claim your spot on the sand or the lawn immediately. Pack your coolers, beach chairs, and umbrellas into the undercarriage storage of your charter bus, and enjoy a hassle-free day at 1 Hudson Park Rd, New Rochelle, NY 10805.
Five Islands Park
For a more tranquil waterfront experience, take your group to Five Islands Park. This hidden gem consists of a series of small islands connected by pedestrian bridges and pathways, offering stunning views of the Long Island Sound and a peaceful escape from the urban hustle. It is an ideal location for photography clubs, nature lovers, or corporate wellness retreats looking for a moment of Zen.
The park features a fishing dock, sunbathing terraces, and plenty of benches to sit and watch the boats go by. Because the park is located in a somewhat secluded residential area, bringing a large number of vehicles can disrupt the neighborhood and make parking impossible. A minibus rental is the perfect solution here. Your driver can navigate the local roads carefully and deposit your group at the entrance at 99 LeFevre Ln, New Rochelle, NY 10801. It’s a perfect spot to unwind before heading to a dinner reservation downtown.
Iona University
New Rochelle is a college town at heart, and Iona University (formerly Iona College) is a central pillar of the community. Whether you are a high school guidance counselor planning a campus tour for prospective students or an opposing athletic team coming for a game, getting to Iona is easier with Charter Bus New Rochelle. The campus is beautiful, but navigating the surrounding residential streets of the North Avenue corridor can be tight.
We frequently work with academic groups to provide reliable transportation for campus visits, alumni events, and commencement ceremonies. Our buses can easily accommodate prospective students and their parents, offering a comfortable ride with WiFi so students can research the school on the way. For sports teams playing the Iona Gaels, our full-size charter buses offer ample storage for equipment and plenty of legroom for athletes to stretch out before the match. You can find the main campus entrance at 715 North Ave, New Rochelle, NY 10801.
Leland Castle
Located on the campus of the College of New Rochelle (now part of Mercy University), Leland Castle is a stunning example of 19th-century Gothic Revival architecture. For architecture enthusiasts, history groups, or art students, this is a fascinating stop. The castle's interiors feature intricate wood carvings and stained glass that transport visitors back to the Gilded Age.
Because this attraction is located within an active university campus, coordinating arrival times and parking is essential. Charter Bus New Rochelle can work with your group to ensure your arrival coincides perfectly with your scheduled tour. A private bus rental allows your group to discuss the architectural history en route, utilizing the onboard PA system for a pre-tour lecture. The castle is located at 29 Castle Pl, New Rochelle, NY 10805.
Downtown New Rochelle Dining & Culture
No trip to New Rochelle is complete without experiencing the revitalization of its downtown district. Main Street and Huguenot Street are lined with an incredible diversity of dining options, reflecting the city’s multicultural fabric. From high-end Croatian cuisine at Dubrovnik Restaurant (721 Main St) to classic Italian fare at Modern Restaurant (310 Huguenot St), there is something to satisfy every palate.
Planning a corporate dinner or a rehearsal dinner? Don’t make your guests drive themselves. Parking downtown can be metered and tricky to find on weekends. A shuttle bus service allows your group to be dropped off right in front of the restaurant. Afterward, your driver can take you to a local bar for a nightcap or straight back to your hotel. This is the best way to enjoy New Rochelle’s culinary scene safely and responsibly.
