School bus rental in Clifton, NJ
Clifton sits ten minutes from our yard, so a Clifton pickup is the shortest run we make. Schools, the PTOs behind them, youth leagues, churches and employers along Route 3, Route 46 and the Parkway book yellow school buses with our own drivers for field trips, away games, late runs and group outings. Request online and a written quote comes back within one business day.
Based in Little Falls, about 10 minutes from Clifton. Our own fleet, our own drivers.
Schools and groups in Clifton
Clifton Public Schools is one of the larger districts in Passaic County, with Clifton High School on Colfax Avenue, two middle schools and more than a dozen elementary schools spread from Botany Village to Allwood and Athenia. Montclair State University's campus touches the city's northwest corner, and Clifton's parochial and private schools, day cares and summer programs book the same way the public schools do.
What Clifton books
One request form, one dispatch office, one written quote. These are the trips we run for Clifton week in, week out.
Field trips
Liberty Science Center is about 25 minutes down Route 3 and the Turnpike; the Montclair Art Museum and Turtle Back Zoo are 15 to 25 minutes; the American Museum of Natural History and Broadway matinees are 45 to 70 minutes through the Lincoln Tunnel depending on the hour. Paterson Great Falls is 15 minutes up Route 19.
Athletics
Away games and tournaments across the Big North Conference and the county, late returns from night games, and a bus that waits at the field. Clifton Stadium home events sometimes need a shuttle from a remote lot; we quote that as a loop.
Late buses and camp routes
After-school activity runs for schools and programs, daily summer camp routes to county pools and parks, and mid-day runs between buildings.
Groups
Church outings, scout troops, senior center trips and company shuttles to the Secaucus train hub or MetLife Stadium events. Our drivers carry passenger endorsements, so the group does not have to be a school.
From our Little Falls yard to Clifton
Clifton is the first town over from Little Falls. Our buses reach the Allwood and Richfield neighborhoods by Route 46 and Valley Road, Botany Village and the Main Avenue schools by Route 3 and Route 21, and the Parkway exits at 153 through 155 put the whole city within a short run. That matters on the day of a trip: a bus leaves the yard, loads at your school and is on the highway inside half an hour, so an 8:30 bell-time departure is routine.
On the day
Most Clifton schools load on a bus loop or a side street with a posted school zone, and the driver is told the loop and the contact's cell before the trip. For Main Avenue and Clifton Avenue schools with tight frontage, a 29-passenger bus is sometimes easier than a full-size one; tell us the head count and we recommend the bus. Clifton's own dismissal traffic is light compared to the ride into Manhattan, so for New York trips we schedule the return departure for 1:30 PM or earlier to make a 2:45 bell.
What a school bus costs from Clifton
Trips are $124 an hour with a 4-hour minimum. Fuel, the driver, insurance and dispatch are included; tolls, parking and venue bus fees are passed through at cost and itemized on the quote. Most half-day trips from Clifton fit inside the minimum. Send the date, the group and the two addresses and the written quote, the exact number for your trip, comes back within one business day.

Clifton questions
How early can a bus be at a Clifton school?
Any time you need. Buses leave the yard around the clock for daily routes, so a 6:45 AM pickup for a competition or a 5:00 AM departure for a long trip is normal. Tell us the time you want the bus on the loop, not the time you want to leave; we build in the loading.
Do you run Clifton field trips into New York City?
Yes, through the Lincoln Tunnel or over the George Washington Bridge depending on the destination. Tolls and parking are itemized at cost on the quote, and the driver either stays with the bus or returns for the pickup, whichever the quote is written for.
Can a Clifton PTO or youth league book directly?
Yes. Public and private schools, PTOs, leagues, churches and employers book the same way. Schools and districts can book on a purchase order; other organizations pay 7 days before the trip date.
