School bus rental in Kearny, NJ
Kearny sits between the Passaic and Hackensack rivers in West Hudson, a town of neighborhood schools, parks along the river and one of the largest industrial and distribution districts in the state. Its public, charter and private schools, after-school programs, churches, leagues and employers book yellow school buses with our own drivers for field trips, away games, late buses, summer routes and employee shuttles. From Little Falls the bus is in Kearny in about 30 minutes by Route 3 and Route 21, and our Jersey City base is minutes closer still. A written quote comes back within one business day.

Schools and groups in Kearny
The Kearny School District runs Kearny High School, Lincoln Middle School and five neighborhood elementary schools on the town's residential grid. Hudson Arts and Science Charter School, Kearny Christian Academy, the day cares, Head Start sites and after-school programs run their own trips and book the same way, and Kearny's churches, senior programs and the West Hudson recreation leagues travel through the year. South of the town's neighborhoods, the Kearny meadows hold distribution centers and manufacturers that run employee shuttles.

From our Little Falls yard to Kearny
Route 46 east to Route 3, then Route 21 south or Route 7, brings a bus from Little Falls to Kearny Avenue in about 30 minutes outside the peaks; Schuyler Avenue, Belgrove Drive and Bergen Avenue reach the schools from there. With a satellite location in Jersey City, a Kearny bus can also start from the east side, which makes early pickups and same-day coverage practical. For trips, Route 7 and the Turnpike lead to the Meadowlands, Liberty State Park and the tunnels, and Route 21 reaches Newark in minutes.
On the day
Kearny's school streets are residential and parked solid at bell time, so we confirm the loading point with your contact and the driver goes to it; for the schools with no loop, a 29-passenger bus loads from a curb where a 54 cannot. The meadows and the Route 7 bridges carry heavy truck traffic, so for industrial shuttles we schedule around the shift changes and the driver takes the approach that moves at the hour.

Trips are $124 an hour with a 4-hour minimum, or $100 an hour with a 3-hour minimum for a local trip that runs between 9:30 AM and 1:30 PM on a school day.
