Charter Bus Rental Service in Ulster, NY

Charter Bus Rental Service to and from Ulster County, NY

Big groups leaving from Ulster, NY travel better on one coach. A Kingston High School field trip, a corporate shuttle out of iPark 87, a wedding party heading up Mountain Rest Road, or a church group bound for Manhattan all start the same way: everyone boards together, a licensed driver takes the wheel, and the day runs to a schedule written for your group. Our New York charter bus rental covers the Town of Ulster along Route 9W and Ulster Avenue, the hamlets of Lake Katrine, Ruby, Eddyville and East Kingston, and the rest of Ulster County from Saugerties and Woodstock down to New Paltz, Highland, Marlboro and Ellenville.

Why Ulster Groups Ride With Us?

Ulster sits at a busy junction. Thruway Exit 19 feeds Interstate 587 into Kingston, Route 9W runs the river corridor from Saugerties to Highland, Route 28 climbs toward Phoenicia and Belleayre, and Route 32 drops south to New Paltz. Our drivers know which approach works for a 56 passenger coach and which village streets do not, so your group never ends up idling on a lane too tight for the vehicle. Union Limousine has run chauffeured group transportation since 1997, and every coach we send to Ulster County carries the same standard of inspection, insurance and driver vetting.

• Licensed, background checked drivers with Hudson Valley route experience
• Coaches inspected before every Ulster dispatch, with current DOT documentation
• Fixed written quotes that cover the driver, fuel and tolls on the Thruway and the Kingston Rhinecliff Bridge
• Live dispatch that tracks your coach from pickup to final drop off
• Vehicle sizes from 14 seat Sprinters to 56 seat motorcoaches, so the fleet matches the headcount

Where We Pick Up Across Ulster, NY?

Town of Ulster and Kingston

The Town of Ulster wraps around the northern and eastern edges of Kingston, and most of our local pickups happen along the Ulster Avenue retail strip, at the Hudson Valley Mall lots, at iPark 87 off Enterprise Drive, and in the Lake Katrine neighborhoods near the Kingston Ulster Airport. Inside Kingston itself we stage at the Rondout waterfront, the Stockade district, Kingston High School on Broadway, HealthAlliance Hospital and the Uptown parking areas near Senate House. Coaches can also meet groups at Ulster Landing Park and the Saugerties boat launch for river day trips.

Saugerties, Woodstock and the Catskill Foothills

Saugerties pulls crowds for several weeks each year. The HITS Hudson Valley showgrounds on Washington Avenue Extension host a show series that runs from mid May into October, and riders, owners, sponsors and spectators often travel in from the city or from Stewart in groups that fill a mini coach. One field over, the Hudson Valley Garlic Festival draws tens of thousands over a single weekend, and the organizers publish festival directions that route traffic from Thruway Exit 20 to police managed parking. A chartered coach drops your group at the gate and returns at a set hour, which beats hunting for a space in a cornfield lot. Woodstock, Bearsville, Phoenicia and Shandaken follow Route 28 west, and we run that road for concert nights, Woodstock Film Festival screenings, Belleayre ski days and fall foliage drives.

New Paltz, Rosendale and the Shawangunks

New Paltz anchors the southern half of the county. SUNY New Paltz parent weekends, commencement, Huguenot Street tours, Mohonk Preserve hikes and Minnewaska outings all bring groups in by coach. Mohonk Mountain House sits at the top of Mountain Rest Road, and its group and meeting services handle corporate retreats for up to 130 guests, which means a steady flow of shuttle work between the resort and Stewart, Poughkeepsie station and Manhattan. Rosendale, High Falls, Stone Ridge and SUNY Ulster round out the loop, and the Shawangunk Wine Trail stops in Gardiner, Marlboro and Highland make a good day route for a Sprinter or a 30 passenger party bus.

Airport Charter Buses for Ulster County Travelers

New York Stewart International Airport in New Windsor is the closest commercial field, roughly 35 miles and 45 minutes down the Thruway from Thruway Exit 19. We run a dedicated Stewart Airport charter bus for sports teams, tour groups and conference blocks flying in on the low fare carriers that serve the field, with meet and greet at the terminal curb and luggage loaded underneath before the coach pulls out. Albany International sits about an hour and fifteen minutes north, Westchester County Airport runs close to two hours, and JFK, LaGuardia and Newark are two to two and a half hours each depending on the Cuomo Bridge and the Bronx. For groups split across several flights, our New York airport charter bus service can stage at one terminal and sweep the others before heading north on Interstate 87.

Private Aviation and Rail Connections

Kingston Ulster Airport in Lake Katrine handles private jets and turboprops a few minutes from most Town of Ulster addresses, and we meet those arrivals with a coach or a pair of SUVs as the manifest requires. There is no passenger rail inside the county, so train travelers connect through Rhinecliff across the Kingston Rhinecliff Bridge for Amtrak Empire Service, or through Poughkeepsie across the Mid Hudson Bridge for Metro North. Both stations are a 20 to 30 minute coach ride from Kingston, and we time pickups against the published arrivals.

Events We Cover Across Ulster County

Weddings and Celebrations

Ulster County is one of the busiest wedding regions in the state. Hutton Brickyards on the Kingston riverfront, Senate Garage uptown, Diamond Mills in Saugerties, Mohonk, Buttermilk Falls Inn in Milton and dozens of barn venues outside New Paltz and Stone Ridge all book guest shuttles with us. A 56 seat coach moves a full guest list from a Kingston hotel block to the ceremony and back, a 20 passenger stretch carries the wedding party, and our limo service in Ulster handles the couple on their own timeline. Shuttles loop on a schedule you set, so nobody waits in a gravel lot after the last dance.

School, Camp and College Travel

Kingston, Saugerties, Onteora, New Paltz, Rondout Valley, Wallkill, Highland, Marlboro and Ellenville districts all run field trips, athletic travel and prom transportation through the year. Mini coaches fit a single team or class, and full size motorcoaches handle a grade level heading to Albany, the American Museum of Natural History or a Broadway matinee. Summer camps along Route 28 and in the Shawangunks use the same vehicles for session changeover weekends, when families arrive from Brooklyn, Westchester and New Jersey in waves.

Corporate Shuttles and Conferences

iPark 87 in the Town of Ulster has filled with manufacturing and office tenants, and the campus runs recurring shuttles for shift changes, visiting engineers and vendor days. HealthAlliance, Ulster BOCES, Central Hudson crews and the county offices on Fair Street all schedule group moves through us as well. For a dozen executives flying into Stewart for a Mohonk offsite, our Sprinter van service in Ulster gives everyone a captain chair, power at each seat and room for carry on bags, which suits a working ride, since a coach would run mostly empty for that headcount. Union Limousine also handles multi day conference contracts with a dedicated coordinator who holds the schedule across every session.

Day Trips and Tours

Senior centers, church groups and tour operators book coaches for Kingston history days that combine the Stockade, the Senate House and a ride on the Catskill Mountain Railroad, which boards at Westbrook Lane Station in Kingston Plaza and posts station directions off Thruway Exit 19 for drivers arriving from out of county. Other popular runs include Opus 40 in Saugerties, Olana and Hudson across the river, Storm King and West Point to the south, and casino trips to Resorts World Catskills in Monticello.

Festival Weekend Timing

The Garlic Festival in late September or early October, the O+ Festival in Kingston, the Woodstock Film Festival and the HITS championship weeks all compress traffic into a few days. We recommend booking coaches for those dates at least six weeks ahead, since vehicles across the Hudson Valley fill up and the Thruway exits back up by mid morning.

A Note on Catskill Roads in Winter

Route 28 toward Belleayre and the climb to Mohonk can ice over quickly from December through March. Our drivers carry chains, run winter tires and build buffer time into mountain itineraries, and dispatch watches county road advisories on the morning of every trip.

Charter Bus Pricing in Ulster, NY

Quotes for Ulster County are built on vehicle size, hours booked and total mileage. A four hour local wedding shuttle inside Kingston and Saugerties prices very differently from a two day coach to Washington, DC, so we ask for the itinerary first and return one flat number that includes the driver, fuel, Thruway tolls and the Kingston Rhinecliff or Mid Hudson Bridge crossings. Union Limousine never adds a surprise fee after the ride, and our charter bus service team can split a large event across several vehicle sizes to keep the total down when a single big coach would run half empty.
