Frederick Douglass Rochester (ROC) Airport Charter Bus Rental Service

Charter Bus Rental Service to and from Frederick Douglass Greater Rochester International (ROC) Airport

Landing a full group at ROC and moving everyone to Rochester, the Finger Lakes, or back home to New York, NY works best with one vehicle, one driver, and one plan. Our Frederick Douglass Greater Rochester International (ROC) Airport Charter Bus Rental Service gives New York, NY based companies, tour operators, wedding parties, and campus departments a confirmed coach waiting at the terminal, with a chauffeur who tracks the inbound flight and handles the curb. Union Limousine has been running airport charter bus trips across New York since 1997, and every ROC reservation follows the same routine: confirmed vehicle, named driver, and a route agreed before the wheels turn.

Why New York, NY Groups Book ROC Coaches With Us?

Rochester sits roughly 330 miles from Midtown, and nonstop flights from the city land at ROC in about an hour.

Frederick Douglass Greater Rochester International (ROC) Airport Information

Airport code: ROC. Address: 1200 Brooks Ave, Rochester, NY 14624, United States. Phone: +1 585 753 7000. Official website: rocairport.com. The airport is owned by Monroe County and run by the Monroe County Airport Authority, about four miles southwest of downtown Rochester.

History and Importance

Flying in Rochester dates back to the 1920s, when the city opened a municipal field on Scottsville Road that grew into the present airport. The two story terminal that travelers use today opened in the early 1990s and later received a $79 million renovation that reworked the concourses, ticketing hall, and roadway. In 2021 Monroe County renamed the airport for Frederick Douglass, the abolitionist and publisher who spent 25 years in Rochester, and a $38.1 million improvement program launched in 2024 is adding a Frederick Douglass Legacy Area and a Veterans Area to the campus. ROC ranks as the fifth busiest airport in New York State and has placed among the USA Today top ten small airports for several years running.

Airlines Operating From ROC

Eight carriers serve the airport as of September 2026. American Airlines, JetBlue, and Southwest work from Concourse A, while Allegiant, Delta, and United use Concourse B. Avelo Airlines began flying from Rochester in June 2023 and has since carried over 300,000 customers on its routes, and Breeze Airways joined in May 2025 with nonstops to Charleston and Raleigh plus through service to New Orleans and Orlando. Allegiant runs on a limited weekly pattern, so its ticket counter closes 40 minutes before departure.

Domestic Destinations

ROC offers roughly 30,000 seats a week to 17 nonstop destinations. Core routes reach New York City, Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago, Washington, Charlotte, Atlanta, and Detroit, with eight Florida nonstops covering Orlando, Fort Lauderdale, Sarasota, Fort Myers, Tampa, and Lakeland. Newer leisure routes added since 2025 include Myrtle Beach, Nashville, Wilmington, and Concord near Charlotte, and seasonal Las Vegas service is scheduled to return this fall.

Terminal Information

ROC uses a single two story terminal with a split roadway. The upper level holds ticket counters, the TSA checkpoint, and the departures curb. After screening, Concourse B (blue ceiling guides) is on the left and Concourse A (green) is on the right. The lower level holds baggage claim, the greeting area, rental car counters, the information booth, and the arrivals curb. Escalators in the central food court connect the two floors, and free WiFi covers the building. The terminal never closes, and the checkpoint opens between 3:30 and 4:00 AM.

Passenger Traffic

Nearly 2.8 million passengers moved through ROC in 2025, up 4.8 percent on 2024 and the strongest year in about 15 years. The airport logged 371,775 departing passengers across June, July, and August 2025, its busiest summer since 2007, and 2026 traffic is running close to 4 percent ahead of last year. Roughly 120 flights a day use the field.

Parking Overview

MAPCO operates every lot on the airport. The hourly lot beside the terminal charges $2 for the first hour and $24 a day, the covered garage runs $16 a day, the on airport shuttle lot is $8 a day, and the weekly lot is $12 a day or $72 a week. A free cell phone lot to the right of the terminal approach offers WiFi, EV charging, and a flight status screen. Parking reservations and a windshield mounted Zoom pass are available for frequent flyers. Note that garage maintenance work continued through summer 2026, so garage capacity can be reduced.

Pickup and Drop Off Guidance

Departing passengers are dropped curbside on the upper level. Arriving passengers are collected curbside on the lower level beside numbered columns, and waiting at the curb is not permitted; unattended vehicles on the terminal roadway are ticketed and towed. The airport's own curbside pickup guide advises that deplaning and bag retrieval take 15 to 40 minutes, which is why our chauffeur stages nearby and rolls to the curb only when your group is assembled at a column.

Ground Transportation Options

Taxis, Lyft, and Uber load on the lower level. Regional Transit Service runs RTS Route 23 West Ave/Airport between the terminal and the downtown transit center every 30 minutes on weekdays for a $1 fare, and a courtesy shuttle links the terminal with the airport lots. Several airport hotels run their own shuttles, and Greyhound and Amtrak both depart from downtown Rochester, several miles from the airport curb, so groups arriving by rail still need a ride to the terminal.

Tips for Arriving Passengers

• Follow the escalators in the food court down to baggage claim and the greeting area
• Text your chauffeur the moment you clear the jet bridge so the coach can move to the curb
• Send one person to collect bags while the rest of the group gathers at a numbered column
• Keep REAL ID or a passport handy for the return flight; the checkpoint enforces it
• Plan 90 minutes at the airport for the trip home, longer during holiday peaks

Why a Prebooked Chauffeur Beats Taxis and Rideshare at ROC?

A group of 40 needs ten rideshare cars, ten separate pickups at the lower level, and ten chances for someone to end up at the wrong hotel. A single coach with a named chauffeur means one meeting point, one departure time, and one invoice. Union Limousine also monitors the inbound flight, so a delay into Rochester shifts the pickup automatically without surge pricing or a fresh queue at the taxi stand. On the return, the coach drops at the upper level in one pass, and everyone reaches the counter together.

Rochester and Finger Lakes Destinations We Serve From ROC

ROC is the front door to Monroe County and the wider Finger Lakes. Our Monroe County car service covers downtown Rochester, Pittsford, Brighton, Henrietta, and the East Avenue museum district, while our Monroe County chauffeur service handles executive moves between the airport, Eastman Business Park, and corporate campuses. The University of Rochester River Campus sits about two miles from the terminal, and its River Campus visitor parking rules route buses to the Wilson Boulevard information booth, so tell us in advance when a campus stop is on the itinerary.

Heading south and east, our Ontario County car service reaches Canandaigua, Victor, and the CMAC amphitheater, and our Livingston County car service covers Geneseo and Letchworth State Park. To the west, the Genesee County car service serves Batavia and Darien Lake, and along the lakeshore the Wayne County car service covers Sodus Point and apple country. Groups planning a longer stay can pair this page with the Rochester flights and airport guide from Visit Rochester to line up festivals and museum hours.

How ROC Charter Bus Booking Works

Send the flight numbers, head count, luggage estimate, and the full itinerary. We confirm the vehicle class, assign the chauffeur, and send a written quote with the pickup column and staging plan for the ROC lower level.

Luggage, Skis, and Equipment Planning

Full size coaches carry checked bags underfloor, mini coaches and Sprinters use rear cargo bays, and stretch limousines hold carry on sizes only. Hockey bags, ski bags, instrument cases, and trade show crates should be listed on the manifest so we size the vehicle correctly.

Pricing Factors

Quotes reflect vehicle class, total hours or mileage, time of day, and any multi day scheduling. Overnight trips to the Finger Lakes include driver lodging planning under federal hours of service rules.

What Every ROC Quote Includes

• Licensed chauffeur, flight tracking, and one meet point at the lower level columns
• Fuel, Thruway tolls, and standard airport wait time built into the price
