Custom Coach and Limo is a New York-based bus rental company. We have been operating in New York for more than five years now.

 

We'll let you in on a secret: we love New York City during the holiday season. Christmas is simply a busy time for a bus rental company because of customers like you and the tourists coming into the city!

 

And because we are all about sharing tips here, let us start with this: get a sprinter van rental in NYC to help you beat the traffic and the crowds and enjoy your stay here. Also, book your rentals a week or two in advance.

 

What other tips should you remember when visiting the Big Apple during the holiday season? Here are some:

 

Visit the Rockefeller Center Plaza. The big tree at the Rockefeller Center Plaza needs more than 30,000 lights to adequately illuminate it. It might get a little crowded, but having a photo of or with the tree is just worth the effort. Another attraction you should visit is FAO Schwartz and tap the giant keyboard its has in the store!

 

Avoid the weekends. Weekends are typically crazy in NYC, especially during the holiday season. Lines to anywhere are typically much longer on weekends.

 

Go to Macy's Santaland. Christmas scenes, snow, Santa Claus, trains. Santaland is a great way to wow the kids and help make their visit to NYC even more memorable. You can line up and see Santa, but pictures are quite expensive. Remember to ask the elves minding the lines just how long it would take for you to get to see Santa, and they'd give a very close estimate.

 

Let Custom Coach and Limo take care of your transportation needs! Just call us and we can arrange a bus, van or car for you and your group, no matter how big or small your group is.

 

Christmas time is a magical time anywhere. But it is especially memorable in the Big Apple. Make sure you get a sprinter van rental in NYC and celebrate Christmas in the most beautiful city in the world!

 

Here are some more tips on visiting New York during the holidays:

 

Avoid the ice skating rinks. If you are visiting during the holidays, you might want to stay away from ice skating. Long lines mean you wait for hours to get into the rink, plus you need to spend at least $30 for each person. But if you really want to ice skate, then try the Wollman Rink at Central Park because, at least, it is bigger, if not really that cheaper.

 

Attend the Christmas Spectacular at the Radio City Music Hall. Every New York City kid has seen this show at least once, and for a good reason too. This is where they could witness dancing Santa Clauses and the Rockettes doing their famous leg kicks. This is an event that has more than eight decades of tradition behind it!

 

Try walking and window shopping. Every store and retailer in the Big Apple decorates its windows for Christmas. This is a great time to just walk around the city and admire the free displays! You will get to see which stores are most creative when it comes to their displays

 

Catch St. John the Divine's Winter Solstice Concert. Celebrating the Winter Solstice, which has the longest night of the year, the Cathedral of St. John has fantastical effects and magnificent voices and music to enthrall people of all ages.

 

Go out to the other boroughs. Do not stay in downtown New York go to Brooklyn and the Bronx where you can also find great Christmas shows and displays.

 

Check out the Holiday Train Show. Every year, the New York Botanical Garden holds the Holiday Train Show that features miniature New York City trademarks, such as the Yankee Stadium and St. Patrick's Cathedral.
