School bus rental · Englewood, New Jersey

School bus rental in Englewood, NJ

Englewood is where Bergen County meets the George Washington Bridge: a city of public, private and parochial schools, a performing arts center that fills with school groups, a hospital, a nature center and a downtown that draws the whole east side of the county. Schools, PTOs, camps, churches and employers book yellow school buses with our own drivers for field trips, away games, arts programs, summer routes and group shuttles. From Little Falls the bus is in Englewood in about 30 minutes by Route 4, and a written quote comes back within one business day.

Based in Little Falls, about 30 minutes from Englewood. Our own fleet, our own drivers.

Schools and groups in Englewood

The Englewood Public School District runs Dwight Morrow High School and the Academies@Englewood on a shared campus, which draws students from across Bergen, Hudson and Passaic counties through the state's school-choice program, plus a middle school and its elementary and early-childhood schools; Englewood on the Palisades Charter School runs its own K-8 program. The city's independent schools travel just as hard: Dwight-Englewood School, the Elisabeth Morrow School and the Moriah School each run their own field trips, athletics and retreats, and the day cares, the Kaplen JCC's camps next door in Tenafly and the city's other camps book the same way. bergenPAC on North Van Brunt Street hosts student performances and arts-education programs that bring in buses from across the county, Englewood Health is the city's largest employer, and Flat Rock Brook Nature Center is a short ride from every school in town.

What Englewood books

One request form, one dispatch office, one written quote. These are the trips we run for Englewood week in, week out.

Field trips

The American Museum of Natural History, the Cloisters and the Intrepid are 25 to 45 minutes over the George Washington Bridge; the Bronx Zoo and the New York Botanical Garden 30 to 40; Liberty Science Center 35; and Palisades Interstate Park, Flat Rock Brook and Van Saun County Park are local half-days. bergenPAC student matinees are in town, and we run the buses that bring other districts to them.

Arts, enrichment and camps

Student performances and workshops at bergenPAC, museum programs in the city, college visits, and daily summer routes and camp trips for the camps that run out of Englewood's schools and parks.

Groups and employers

Church and synagogue trips, senior outings, youth organizations, Englewood Health program shuttles and employee or event shuttles between the hospital, downtown and the train stations in Teaneck and Hackensack.

From our Little Falls yard to Englewood

Route 46 east to I-80, then Route 4 east to Grand Avenue, brings a bus from Little Falls into Englewood in about 30 minutes outside the peaks; Engle Street and Palisade Avenue cover the city from there, and Route 9W runs north along the cliffs to Alpine and the Palisades. For trips, the George Washington Bridge is five minutes from downtown, which makes Englewood the shortest Manhattan run we make, and Route 4 west returns the bus to the rest of the county.

On the day

Englewood's schools sit on busy avenues and tight residential streets in roughly equal measure, so we confirm the loading point with your contact before the trip and send the driver to it rather than to the front door by default. bergenPAC drop-offs happen on a schedule set by the theater, and our drivers know the stand and the turnaround. The Palisades Interstate Parkway is closed to buses without a permit, so trips north along the cliffs run on Route 9W. For Manhattan trips the bridge is the variable: we schedule departures and returns around it and the driver calls the contact if the approach is slow.
