A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Clifton Arts Center & Sculpture Park
For groups looking to soak up some culture without the chaos of a Manhattan museum, the Clifton Arts Center & Sculpture Park is a hidden gem located right in the heart of the municipal complex. Housed in two converted barns that were once part of the U.S. Animal Quarantine Station, this unique venue features rotating art exhibits from local and national artists. The real draw for larger groups, however, is the expansive 26-acre Sculpture Park. It’s the perfect spot for a leisurely group stroll, offering photo opportunities with contemporary sculptures set against lush greenery.
A minibus rental is the perfect way to transport senior groups, art clubs, or school classes here. Your driver can drop your group off right at the entrance of the complex on Well Road, ensuring that visitors with limited mobility don’t have to walk far. While you explore the galleries and grounds, your bus will wait nearby, ready to whisk you away to lunch or your next destination. It’s a peaceful, educational, and accessible outing made even better with private transportation.

Rutt's Hut
No trip to Clifton is complete without a visit to Rutt’s Hut, a culinary landmark that has been serving up its famous deep-fried hot dogs, known as "Rippers," since 1928. This isn't just a lunch stop; it's an institution that has been featured on numerous food travel shows and lists of the best hot dogs in America. The relish is legendary, the vibe is old-school, and the experience is essential to New Jersey. Whether you are organizing a bachelor party bus tour of NJ’s best eats or a casual corporate lunch, Rutt’s Hut is a crowd-pleaser.
Parking at Rutt’s Hut can be chaotic, especially during the lunch rush or on weekends when locals flock to the counter. By renting a charter bus with Charter Bus Rental Company Clifton, you eliminate the parking struggle entirely. Your driver can navigate the River Road traffic and drop your hungry group curbside. Afterward, everyone can pile back onto the air-conditioned bus to digest and relax, rather than fighting to back out of a tight parking space. It’s the ultimate way to enjoy a Ripper!
Rutt's Hut 417 River Rd, Clifton, NJ 07014
Garret Mountain Reservation
Just on the border of Clifton and Woodland Park lies Garret Mountain Reservation, a stunning 568-acre park that offers some of the best views of the New York City skyline you can find in New Jersey. This is a fantastic destination for school field trips, scout troops, and nature lovers. The park features Lambert Castle, a 19th-century castle that looks like it was plucked straight out of a fairy tale, as well as miles of hiking trails, equestrian paths, and picnic areas. It is also a major migration point for birds, making it a hotspot for birdwatching clubs.
Navigating the winding roads up to the reservation can be tricky for a caravan of cars, but a charter bus driver handles the incline with ease. We can arrange for your bus to park near the designated picnic areas or drop you off near the Lambert Tower for sightseeing. With plenty of undercarriage storage on our full-size charter buses, you can bring along coolers, sports equipment, or hiking gear without cramping your legroom inside the cabin.

The Shannon Rose Irish Pub
If you are planning a night out, a birthday celebration, or a corporate happy hour, The Shannon Rose Irish Pub at Clifton Commons is the place to be. Known for its authentic Irish aesthetic—much of the interior was actually shipped over from Ireland—and its lively atmosphere, it’s a staple of Clifton nightlife. From live music on weekends to extensive menu options catering to large groups, it’s an ideal venue for social gatherings. However, its location in the busy Clifton Commons shopping center off Route 3 means traffic can be heavy.
Book a party bus rental with Charter Bus Rental Company Clifton to act as your group’s designated driver for the evening. We can pick your group up from a central meeting point or office and shuttle you directly to the pub’s entrance. Everyone can enjoy a pint of Guinness and the live entertainment without worrying about rideshares or sobriety tests. When the night winds down, your bus will be waiting to ensure everyone gets home safely. It’s the responsible, stylish, and stress-free way to party in Clifton.

AMC Clifton Commons 16
Sometimes you just need a classic movie night, and for large groups, the AMC at Clifton Commons is the premier destination in the area. Whether you are organizing a private screening for a school trip, a summer camp outing on a rainy day, or a corporate team-building movie event, this theater offers the latest amenities and plenty of screens. Located right off Route 3, it is incredibly accessible but notoriously busy.
Don’t let your group get split up trying to find parking spots in the massive retail lot. A charter bus rental allows you to keep your headcount accurate and your group together. Your driver can drop the students or attendees right at the theater doors so they can grab their popcorn and find their seats immediately. While you enjoy the show, your driver will handle the bus parking logistics, returning to pick you up the moment the credits roll.

Tick Tock Diner
You can't talk about Clifton without mentioning the Tick Tock Diner. Located on Route 3 West, this neon-lit beacon of comfort food is famous across the country. It has been featured on "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives" and is a must-visit for anyone passing through the area. It serves up massive portions of classic diner fare 24 hours a day, making it an excellent stop for groups returning from late-night concerts at MetLife Stadium or theater trips to NYC.
Because the Tick Tock is located directly on a high-speed highway, coordinating arrival in separate cars can be dangerous and confusing for out-of-towners. A charter bus rental simplifies the process. Your driver knows exactly how to navigate the Route 3 turns to get you comfortably into the lot. Whether you are stopping for a pre-game breakfast or a post-prom disco fry feast, we make getting to this Jersey icon easy.
Tick Tock Diner 281 Allwood Rd, Clifton, NJ 07014
Main Memorial Park
For a more relaxed group outing, Main Memorial Park offers a beautiful green space right in the city. It is a popular spot for family reunions, community flea markets, and local festivals. The park features a lake, walking paths, and plenty of open space for games and picnics. It sits adjacent to the Clifton Stadium, making it a central hub for community activity.
If you are planning a large family reunion or a company picnic here, transporting food, games, and elderly relatives can be a challenge. A minibus rental from Charter Bus Rental Company Clifton solves these problems. We can load up the storage compartments with folding chairs, coolers, and outdoor games, and drop your group right at the park entrance on Main Avenue. Enjoy the day in the sun knowing your air-conditioned ride is just a phone call away.
Main Memorial Park 1395 Main Ave, Clifton, NJ 07011
Montclair State University
While parts of the campus lie in Montclair and Little Falls, a significant portion of Montclair State University serves the Clifton area, making it a major destination for academic travel. High schools from all over the tri-state area visit for campus tours, while visiting athletic teams come to compete at the university's top-tier facilities. Additionally, the Alexander Kasser Theater brings in groups for world-class dance and theater performances.
Charter Bus Rental Company Clifton specializes in university transportation. We can shuttle prospective students for campus tours, transport visiting sports teams with all their gear stored securely in undercarriage bays, or bring theater-lovers to a show. Navigating a college campus with limited visitor parking is difficult; let a driver drop your group at the Red Hawk Deck or directly in front of the admissions building so you stay on schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions About Clifton Group Travel Transportation
How much does a charter bus rental cost in Clifton?
Charter bus pricing varies based on several factors, including the size of the bus, the duration of your trip, the time of year, and how far you are traveling. A local trip within Clifton for a few hours will cost differently than a multi-day trip to Washington D.C. or Boston. To get the most accurate price, we recommend calling our reservation team at 551-231-5420. We can provide you with a free, personalized quote in minutes based on your specific itinerary.
Do you provide transportation to airports near Clifton?
Absolutely. We provide reliable airport transfer shuttles to all major airports in the region, including Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR), John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK), and LaGuardia Airport (LGA). The drivers will handle the luggage and drop your group off right at the terminal curb, saving you the hassle of long-term parking or coordinating multiple rideshares. We track flights to ensure we are there when you land, too.
How far in advance should I book my bus?
We generally recommend booking your charter bus as soon as your date and venue are confirmed. Ideally, you should aim to book 3 to 6 months in advance. This ensures the best availability of vehicles and helps lock in a competitive rate. However, we understand that last-minute plans happen! Our team is available 24/7 and can often accommodate short-notice rentals for funerals, emergency transfers, or spontaneous trips.
Can a Clifton charter bus take us into New York City?
Yes! One of the biggest advantages of staying in Clifton is its proximity to NYC. We regularly transport groups from Clifton to Manhattan for Broadway shows, museum visits, corporate events, and sightseeing tours. Your driver will handle the bridges, tunnels, and notoriously difficult city traffic, dropping you off right at your destination. When your day in the city is done, you'll have a comfortable, quiet seat waiting for you for the ride back to New Jersey.
