School bus rental · Teaneck, New Jersey

School bus rental in Teaneck, NJ

Teaneck sits at the junction of Route 4, I-80 and I-95, ten minutes from the George Washington Bridge, which makes it one of the easiest towns in Bergen County to run a trip from and one of the best starting points for Manhattan. Public schools, a large community of day schools and yeshivas, camps, synagogues, churches and the township's leagues book yellow school buses with our own drivers for field trips, away games, Chol Hamoed and summer outings, late runs and group shuttles. From our Little Falls yard the bus is in Teaneck in about 25 minutes, and a written quote comes back within one business day.

Based in Little Falls, about 25 minutes from Teaneck. Our own fleet, our own drivers.

Schools and groups in Teaneck

Teaneck Public Schools runs Teaneck High School, two middle schools, three elementary schools and two early-childhood centers across a township of 40,000 people, and Teaneck Community Charter School runs its own K-8 program. Teaneck's private schools travel at least as much: Torah Academy of Bergen County, Ma'ayanot, Heichal HaTorah, Yeshivat He'atid and the other day schools and yeshivas run field trips, retreats, intramural games and end-of-year outings through the school year, and their camps run routes all summer. Fairleigh Dickinson University's Metropolitan Campus straddles the Hackensack River on the town's west side, and Holy Name Medical Center and the Glenpointe office campus are the township's big employers. All of them book the same way, with the same dispatch desk.

What Teaneck books

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

Field trips and school outings

The American Museum of Natural History and the Intrepid are 30 to 45 minutes over the George Washington Bridge; the Bronx Zoo and the New York Botanical Garden about the same by the Cross Bronx; Liberty Science Center is 35 minutes; the Meadowlands and American Dream 15. Closer in, Van Saun County Park and its zoo, Overpeck County Park and the Teaneck Creek Conservancy fit a half day.

Day schools, yeshivas and camps

Grade trips, shabbatons and retreats, Chol Hamoed outings, intramural and league games, graduation trips and daily summer camp routes, with buses sized to the group and a driver who follows the school's schedule. We can wait on site or run two groups in sequence.

Athletics

Big North Conference games across Bergen County, county tournament days, swim and track meets with early departures, and late returns from night games. Single games, tournament days or the whole season.

Groups and employers

Synagogue and church trips, senior outings, youth organizations, Holy Name and FDU program shuttles, and employee or event shuttles to the Teaneck Armory and the Meadowlands. Our drivers carry passenger endorsements, so the group does not have to be a school.

From our Little Falls yard to Teaneck

Route 46 east to I-80, then Route 4 east, brings a bus from Little Falls to Teaneck Road and Cedar Lane in about 25 minutes outside the peaks; River Road and Queen Anne Road cover the north and south ends. For trips, the George Washington Bridge is minutes away, which puts the Upper West Side museums, the Bronx Zoo and the New York Botanical Garden within 30 to 45 minutes, and Route 4 west leads to Paramus, Garden State Plaza and the rest of the county.

On the day

Teaneck's school streets are residential and several of the day schools load from the curb rather than a loop, so the driver is given the exact loading point and the contact's cell before the trip and arrives in the loading window. Trips over the bridge are timed to the bridge: an 8:45 departure clears the morning rush, the driver stays on the Trans-Manhattan Expressway rather than the city parkways, which are closed to buses, and for afternoon returns uses the upper or lower level according to the traffic at the hour. Kosher food, luggage and equipment ride under the seats or in a sealed bin; tell us what the group is bringing and we size the bus for it.

What a school bus costs from Teaneck

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. 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 Teaneck 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.

Teaneck questions

Do you run trips for Teaneck yeshivas and day schools on their own calendar?

Yes. Chol Hamoed outings, Sundays, early-dismissal Fridays and summer camp routes are all normal for us; the quote follows the school's own calendar rather than the public school year, and dispatch is reachable throughout the trip.

How long is a Teaneck trip into Manhattan?

Thirty to forty-five minutes to the Upper West Side museums over the George Washington Bridge outside the peaks, and about an hour to midtown or downtown. Bridge 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 synagogue, church or camp book directly?

Yes. Schools, synagogues, churches, camps, leagues and employers book the same way. Schools and districts can book on a purchase order; other organizations pay 7 days before the trip date.
