Which should you charter?
Pick the Challenger 3500 if you want more room to spread out (the cabin is 0.5 m longer), you want a wider cabin (6 cm more across) and you want the shorter flight time (it cruises 33 km/h faster).
Pick the Gulfstream G200 if you need the extra 374 km (202 nm) of range.
The Gulfstream G200 is estimated at $6,800/hr against $7,800/hr for the Challenger 3500, about $1,000 less per hour. Charters are billed by flight time, so the faster Challenger 3500 saves about 3 minutes per 1,000 km flown. Real quotes depend on the operator, the aircraft's age and how far it has to fly to reach you.
Example trip: the Gulfstream G200 can fly New York (TEB) to Lisbon (LIS) nonstop, 5,419 km. The Challenger 3500 would need a fuel stop on that route.
Nonstop means within 90% of published range, before winds, payload and fuel reserves; the operator confirms each route.
