The price depends on the route, the dates, the season and where the aircraft has to come from. A full charter costs more than an empty leg, because you pay for the flight back too.

Figures are for the GIV-SP. Range, speeds, weights, cabin size and baggage are GlobalAir figures. Length, wingspan, height and maximum passengers are from Wikipedia. The original GIV differs slightly, for example in its lower maximum takeoff weight of 73,200 lb. Published ranges differ between sources. Gulfstream's own page could not be read.
The Gulfstream IV and its improved GIV-SP version are large cabin jets that fly about 4,200 nautical miles. They seat up to 19 passengers and are flown by two pilots. Gulfstream built more than 900 aircraft in the GIV, GIV-SP and G450 family.
Gulfstream began work on the Gulfstream IV in March 1983 as a stretched, re-engined version of the Gulfstream III. The first aircraft flew on 19 September 1985, and the FAA certified it on 22 April 1987. It was the first business jet with a full glass cockpit.
The GIV-SP, short for Special Performance, entered the market in the early 1990s. It has higher payload and landing weights and better payload and range performance. Owners of earlier GIV aircraft could upgrade to SP standard. Gulfstream built 303 GIV-SP aircraft between 1992 and 2002. The same airframe was later sold as the G400, and the G450 replaced it in 2004.
In June 1987 a Gulfstream IV set 22 world records by flying west around the world in 45 hours and 25 minutes. Today private owners, companies, charter operators and governments fly the type. The US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration uses a GIV-SP to study hurricanes.

Buyers often compare the GIV-SP with the Dassault Falcon 900EX. In a 2022 AvBuyer comparison, the GIV-SP carried more with full fuel, seated 14 against 12 and cruised faster. The Falcon 900EX had more range and a lower cost per hour.
