School bus rental in Passaic, NJ

From Little Falls our buses reach Passaic in about 15 minutes by Route 3 and Route 21. We run field trips, athletic trips, late buses, summer routes and group shuttles with our own buses and our own drivers, and every request gets a written quote within one business day.
Based in Little Falls, about 15 minutes from Passaic. Our own fleet, our own drivers.
Schools and groups in Passaic
Passaic Public Schools includes Passaic High School, Passaic Preparatory Academy and a set of elementary and middle schools that are among the most crowded in the state, which makes dependable buses for trips and programs matter more, not less. Passaic Arts and Science Charter School, the city's parochial schools, Head Start sites and after-school programs run their own trips and book the same way.
What Passaic books
One request form, one dispatch office, one written quote. These are the trips we run for Passaic week in, week out.
Field trips
Liberty Science Center is about 25 minutes away, the Newark Museum of Art and NJPAC about 20, the Meadowlands and American Dream 15, and Manhattan museums and Broadway matinees 40 to 60 minutes through the Lincoln Tunnel. Third Ward Park and the Great Falls in Paterson are short local trips for the younger grades.
Athletics
Passaic High School and charter school teams travel across Passaic, Bergen and Essex counties; recreation and travel leagues book single games and tournament days. Night games and late returns are routine.
Late buses and program routes
Dedicated late buses for after-school programs, runs between buildings, and daily summer routes for city and community-based programs, on your schedule.
Community groups
Churches, youth organizations, senior programs and employers. The buses are inspected for passenger service and our drivers carry passenger endorsements, so the group does not have to be a school.
From our Little Falls yard to Passaic
Route 3 and Route 21 bring the bus into the city at Main Avenue or Passaic Street in about 15 minutes; Route 46 to Van Houten Avenue covers the north end. Passaic's streets are dense and several schools front on busy avenues with no bus loop, so we agree the loading spot with your contact before the trip and the driver goes to it. For the biggest buildings, two buses loading in sequence is often smoother than two at once, and the quote can be built that way.
On the day
Passaic schools often dismiss onto crowded sidewalks, so for trips we recommend a departure 20 to 30 minutes after the first bell rather than at it, which lets students load from inside the building in groups. Wheelchair-accessible buses with lifts are available for every trip type and aides ride when the school requires one. Trip sheets list the contact's cell so the driver and the teacher can reach each other directly.
What a school bus costs from Passaic
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.

Passaic questions
Can a Passaic program book a bus without going through the district?
Yes. Charter schools, parochial schools, after-school and summer programs and non-profits book directly. Schools book on a purchase order; other organizations pay 7 days before the trip date.
Is there a minimum for a short local trip from Passaic?
Trips are $124 an hour with a 4-hour minimum, plus tolls and parking at cost. A morning at Liberty Science Center or the Newark Museum from Passaic typically fits inside the minimum, and the written quote gives the exact number.
Do you have wheelchair-accessible buses for Passaic trips?
Yes, lift-equipped buses with trained drivers, and an aide when the school requires one, so every student rides on the same trip.
