Best Trails & Travel

What Best Trails & Travel does

Best Trails & Travel is a private charter bus rental company headquartered in Brooklyn, New York, founded in 1995 and owned by Aly Goldenberg. The company operates a fleet of luxury coaches, mini-coaches, and sprinter vans ranging from 14 to 56 passengers, providing group transportation across New York City's five boroughs (Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, The Bronx, Staten Island) and the broader Northeast United States. The core service is private charter bus rental, complemented by curated travel packages to Atlantic City casinos, Foxwoods, Mohegan Sun, and amusement parks, as well as bespoke custom travel planning. Customer segments include corporate clients, professional and collegiate sports teams, private/family groups, university groups, school groups, and church/religious organizations. All vehicles come equipped with Wi-Fi, TVs, DVD players, CD players, power outlets, and tables; the company claims to operate the largest fleet of charter buses in NYC with the newest vehicles.

The business operates on a sales-led, transaction-based revenue model in which pricing is set per quote rather than published. Pricing varies by bus size (Sprinter Van through 56-Passenger Executive Coach), distance, duration, and destination, with discounts offered to veteran and first-responder organizations. Distribution is direct-to-customer via website quote requests, phone (212) 206-6974, and email ([email protected]), supported by 24/7 dispatch. Marketing relies on content marketing, organic social media across Facebook/Twitter/LinkedIn/Instagram/YouTube, and a notable portfolio of official charter bus sponsorships with NYC sports franchises (Brooklyn Nets & Barclays Center, New York Red Bulls, NYCFC, New York Mets & Citi Field, New York Liberty, St. John's University), as well as media partnerships with iHeartRadio Z100.

The underlying technology is fleet management and quote-based booking rather than a proprietary software platform; no public API, SDK, or developer-facing integrations exist. Named enterprise clients include Google, YouTube, Spotify, IBM, JP Morgan, Hess Corporation, Turner Construction, Kraft Foods, Lufthansa Airlines, Time Warner, and Turner Broadcasting. The company has no disclosed funding rounds, no parent company, no subsidiaries, no M&A activity, no public listings, and no patents or trademarks. Operating geographies are limited to the NYC metro and Northeast region with no global footprint claim.
