ROCHESTER CHARTER BUS

Travel to the Flower City in Comfort, Convenience and Elegance

Rochester, New York

Named the "most livable" American city in the 25th edition of Places Rated Almanac, Rochester, New York is a cultural mecca midway between Buffalo and Syracuse. With the temperate climate along Lake Ontario, Rochester has long been home to nurseries and flower gardens, earning it the nickname "the Flower City." The third most populous city in the Empire State, Rochester offers world-class museums, art galleries, live theatre and dance, as well as a vibrant nightlife. There's also plenty here to pique the interests of history buffs, foodies and retail aficionados.

Don't turn a trip to Rochester into work, though. See Rochester the easy way—in the safety, luxury and dependability of a charter bus from US Coachways.

Make the Smart Choice—Take a Charter Bus to Rochester

With any group outing, there are countless details, but none that will have more of an impact on the satisfaction and well-being of your participants than your choice of ground transportation. If you have delays or other problems getting there and back, it can put a damper on the whole event. With a charter bus rental from US Coachways, you'll have:

Reliable transportation — Did you know that, on average, more than 850,000 air travelers arrive late somewhere every day! That's not the case with a charter bus. Your driver has the resources to find alternate routes to get you there on time. In addition, our access to charter bus vendors nationwide means we can usually find a replacement bus with little difficulty.
Unmatched comfort — The seats are big, with more leg room than any other mode of travel. Better yet, there's no middle seat! The aisles are wide, too, and you won't have to stay buckled in your seat.
Stress-free travel — Your driver will handle all those little details that make driving such a hassle—battling traffic, checking the GPS, watching the clock and looking for a place to park. You'll be on the same bus at all times, and your bags will travel with you, so you won't have to sprint to make a connection or worry about lost luggage. There's no TSA security checkpoint, either, and your phone won't interfere with navigational systems. Stay wired throughout your trip.
Safety and security — Charter buses have one of the lowest accident rates among any form of transportation. In addition, security is relatively easy because of the limited access to your bus.
Flexibility — You won't be limited to a handful of prepackaged tours. You tell us when and where you want to depart, when you want to stop, how long you want to be there and when you want to return.
More travel for your money — Because you share many of the costs of travel, charter buses are routinely more cost-effective than other modes of transportation.
Access to the HOV (high occupancy vehicle) lane , so that you minimize the risk of getting caught in a traffic jam.
More than just a way to get there and back — Use your charter bus for a team meeting, to discuss strategy before a game or to warm up the choir before a concert. It's also an ideal spot for a little quiet time.
A positive impact on the planet — A charter bus helps you go green by removing a number of private vehicles from the roads, lowering emissions.

At US Coachways, we bring more than 30 years of experience in the charter bus rental business to customers nationwide. Go to our online Cost Calculator for a free estimate or to initiate the reservation process. Call us at 1-855-287-2427 to speak with an experienced travel consultant.

You'll also find more than two dozen craft breweries in Monroe County, so it's not surprising that Vinepair.com named Rochester as one of the world's top 10 beer destinations in 2019.

The Right Bus Makes a Big Difference

There's no other mode of travel that offers as many advantages as a charter bus. It's critical, though, that you take the time to get the right bus for your group and your trip.

At US Coachways, we'll ask all the right questions, so that we have a detailed understanding of your event—how many people will be going, what you'll need to bring or take home, how far you'll be traveling, and any other special needs of your participants. Then we'll turn to our vast network of charter bus service providers to find the coach that's just right for your group.

For a trip to Rochester with a small-to-medium-sized group, we recommend the mini-bus. It comes in a number of different sizes, seating anywhere from 24 to 35 comfortably. If you're traveling with a larger group, go with the full-sized bus, with accommodations for as many as 57 passengers, as well as an on-board restroom. Of course, multiple bus rentals are an option and ADA-accessible coaches can be booked.

With the exception of some school bus models, all charter buses come equipped with high-back bucket seats, climate control, a great stereo system and lots of storage capacity. For an additional charge, you may have access to other modern amenities, including Wifi, electrical outlets, DVD players and monitors, hardwood floors, a public address system and leather seats. Check with your booking agent.
