School bus rental · Montclair, New Jersey
School bus rental in Montclair, NJ
Montclair's schools travel more than most: arts trips into Manhattan, college visits, science centers, and a full athletics calendar across the Super Essex Conference. From our Little Falls yard a bus reaches Upper Montclair in about ten minutes and the south end of town in fifteen, by Valley Road and Bloomfield Avenue. Public and independent schools, PTAs, leagues and Montclair's many community organizations book school buses with our own drivers, and a written quote comes back within one business day.
Based in Little Falls, about 15 minutes from Montclair. Our own fleet, our own drivers.
Schools and groups in Montclair
Montclair Public Schools is a magnet district: Montclair High School, three middle schools and elementary magnets that draw students from across town, which means trips often leave from several buildings at once. Montclair Kimberley Academy, Lacordaire Academy, Immaculate Conception High School and the township's preschools and camps book too, as does Montclair State University for programs that need a bus rather than a coach.
We know Montclair from the inside: our drivers run mid-day routes for Montclair Public Schools, so the magnet schools' buildings, the Midland Avenue pickup at the high school, the loops and the bell schedules are first-hand knowledge rather than a map. Montclair High School's athletic teams ride with us as well, and the same drivers and dispatchers handle the township's field trips and group outings.

Athletics
Super Essex Conference games across Essex County, county and state tournament days, crew and track meets with early departures, and late returns from night games. The driver waits at the field or returns for pickup, as you prefer.
College visits
Campus tours for juniors and seniors across New Jersey and New York, with the bus waiting through the visit and lunch. We quote the day as a block so the schedule can flex.
Groups
Church and community outings, senior trips, Montclair Film and festival shuttles, and employer shuttles to the town's six train stations and the Bay Street area.
From our Little Falls yard to Montclair
Valley Road runs straight from Little Falls into Upper Montclair, and Grove Street and Bloomfield Avenue reach the rest of town; the Garden State Parkway at exit 148 and Route 3 are minutes away for trips east. Montclair's school streets are residential and tree-lined, with short loops and some tight turns, so we match the bus to the building: a 29-passenger bus for the smaller magnets, full-size buses where the loop allows.
On the day
Montclair enforces its residential parking and school zones closely, so our drivers do not idle on side streets before a pickup; they time the arrival to the loading window you give us. Multi-building trips are coordinated by the lead driver so every bus reaches the venue together. For trips that return around dismissal, Bloomfield Avenue traffic is the variable; we plan the return departure with that in mind and the driver calls the contact if the tunnel is slow.
