A few of the companies we’ve worked with
Cheering on the Clifton High School Mustangs
In Clifton, high school sports are more than just games; they are community events that bring neighborhoods together. The Clifton High School Mustangs have a storied history and a massive local following, particularly when it comes to football and soccer. If you are part of the marching band, the cheer squad, a booster club, or a dedicated group of alumni, renting a charter bus to Clifton Schools Stadium (350 Piaget Ave, Clifton, NJ 07011) or to away games is the best way to show your support. The stadium, often referred to as "The School Stadium," can get incredibly crowded on Friday nights, and parking in the surrounding residential streets of the Athenia or Albion sections can be difficult for a convoy of cars.
When you book a charter bus with Charter Bus Clifton, you simplify the logistics for everyone involved. For the team, our full-size charter buses offer ample undercarriage storage for bulky equipment like football pads, lacrosse sticks, and musical instruments for the band. For the fans, a minibus allows you to travel together, wearing your maroon and gray, ready to cheer as soon as you step off the bus. We can arrange pickups from local meeting spots or schools, ensuring that no one is late for the kickoff. Support the Mustangs in style and comfort without the headache of coordinating a dozen different parents and vehicles.
Easy Access to MetLife Stadium
One of the biggest advantages of being a sports fan in Clifton is the incredibly close proximity to the Meadowlands Sports Complex. MetLife Stadium (1 MetLife Stadium Dr, East Rutherford, NJ 07073), home to both the New York Giants and the New York Jets, is practically in our backyard—just a short drive down Route 3. However, anyone who has driven to a game knows that "short drive" can turn into a long nightmare due to game-day traffic and the chaotic parking lots. Why deal with the stress of Route 3 gridlock or the high cost of parking multiple vehicles when you can rent a private party bus or charter bus?
A bus rental from Charter Bus Clifton transforms the dreaded commute into a pre-game celebration. Load up your coolers, portable grills, folding chairs, and tents into the bus's spacious luggage bays. Your driver will handle the navigation and drop you off right at your designated parking area for the ultimate tailgate. You won't have to worry about finding your friends in a sea of cars because you will all arrive together. Plus, having a dedicated driver means you have a built-in designated driver, so you can enjoy a few beers and celebrate a win responsibly. Whether it is a Sunday afternoon football game, a major international soccer match, or a concert, we make getting to the Meadowlands seamless.
Catching the Devils at the Prudential Center
For hockey fans and college basketball enthusiasts, the Prudential Center (25 Lafayette St, Newark, NJ 07102) is the place to be. Home to the NHL's New Jersey Devils and the Seton Hall Pirates men's basketball team, "The Rock" hosts some of the most exciting sporting events in the state. While Newark is close to Clifton, navigating downtown traffic and finding affordable, safe parking near the arena can be a major hassle. Public transit transfers can split up your group, and rideshare surge pricing after a game can be astronomical.
Charter Bus Clifton offers a direct, door-to-door solution. We can pick up your fan club or youth hockey team from anywhere in Clifton and shuttle you directly to the Prudential Center. The drivers are familiar with the drop-off zones near Mulberry Street and Edison Place, allowing you to skip the long walks from distant parking garages. After the final buzzer, your bus will be waiting to take you home comfortably. If you are traveling with a youth team, our buses can come equipped with DVD players and screens, so the kids can watch hockey highlights or movies on the way to the arena, keeping the excitement high and the boredom low.
Soccer Action at Red Bull Arena
Just across the river from Newark lies Red Bull Arena (600 Cape May St, Harrison, NJ 07029), the premier soccer-specific stadium in the region and home to the New York Red Bulls of MLS and NJ/NY Gotham FC of the NWSL. For the thriving youth soccer community in Clifton, a trip to see the pros play is an inspiring experience. Organizing a trip for a local soccer club, whether it is the Clifton Stallions or a school team, requires coordination and comfort. A charter bus rental is the safest and most efficient way to transport young athletes and their parents to Harrison.
Avoid the confusion of trying to caravan through Harrison's tight streets or the packed parking lots. A private bus rental keeps the whole team together, allowing coaches to discuss strategy or simply let the kids bond before the match. We offer a range of bus sizes, from 18-passenger minibuses for smaller squads to 56-passenger motorcoaches for entire leagues. With plenty of room for soccer bags and uniform kits, you won't have to sacrifice legroom for luggage. Enjoy the match knowing that your ride home is secured and waiting for you.
Visiting NYC Sports Venues from Clifton
Clifton's location offers easy access to the legendary sports venues of New York City, but driving into the boroughs is rarely a fun experience for a group. Whether you are heading to Yankee Stadium (1 E 161 St, Bronx, NY 10451) for baseball history, Citi Field (41 Seaver Way, Queens, NY 11368) for a Mets game, or the world-famous Madison Square Garden (4 Pennsylvania Plaza, New York, NY 10001) for the Knicks or Rangers, a charter bus is your best bet. Dealing with the Lincoln Tunnel, the George Washington Bridge, and NYC parking rates is stressful enough for one car, let alone a group.
When you book with Charter Bus Clifton, you leave New York City driving to a dedicated driver. We handle the tolls, the traffic, and the navigation. Your group can relax in reclining seats, charge their phones with onboard power outlets, and use the bus's WiFi to post photos of the skyline as you approach the city. We can arrange for drop-offs as close to the venues as security allows, saving you from navigating the subway system with a large group. Make your trip to the Big Apple about the sport, not the stress of getting there.
Montclair State University Athletics
Right on the border of Clifton, Little Falls, and Montclair sits Montclair State University. The MSU Red Hawks have highly competitive Division III teams, and their facilities, such as MSU Soccer Park and Sprague Field (1 Normal Ave, Montclair, NJ 07043), frequently host high school championships, drum corps competitions, and other regional events. If your Clifton-based team is playing a tournament here, or if you are an alumni group heading back to campus for a homecoming game, a shuttle bus is the perfect transportation solution.
Parking on a college campus can be tricky during big events. A charter bus rental allows you to be dropped off right near the entrance of the athletic complex. For visiting teams traveling from further away who are staying in Clifton hotels, we provide reliable shuttles between the hotel and the university fields. This ensures that athletes arrive rested, focused, and on time for warm-ups. We can also handle multi-day transportation for tournaments, ensuring your team has a consistent and comfortable ride throughout the competition.
Golf Outings and Local Recreation
Sports in Clifton aren't just about watching the pros; there is plenty of participation to be had as well. Clifton is home to parts of the prestigious Upper Montclair Country Club (177 Hepburn Rd, Clifton, NJ 07012), which has hosted NFL Golf Classics and LPGA tournaments. If you are organizing a corporate golf outing, a charity tournament, or a group trip to the greens, a minibus rental adds a touch of class and convenience to the day. There is no need to try and fit golf bags into the trunks of multiple sedans.
Our shuttle buses offer ample storage space for golf clubs and gear, ensuring they are transported safely and securely. After a day on the links, your group can enjoy the ride to a local restaurant or back to the office without worrying about driving fatigue. Beyond golf, we also service groups heading to local bowling alleys, the Athenia Steel Recreation Complex, or other recreational parks in Passaic County. Whatever your sport of choice, Charter Bus Clifton has the vehicle to support your team.

Frequently Asked Questions About Clifton Sports Transportation
Is there enough room for all our tailgating gear on the bus?
Absolutely. If you are renting a full-size charter bus (56-passenger), you will have access to massive undercarriage storage bays. These compartments are perfect for storing coolers, folding tables, chairs, small grills, and tents. If you are renting a smaller minibus, storage space may be more limited (usually overhead bins), so please let our reservation specialists know exactly what you plan to bring so we can match you with the right vehicle size for your tailgating needs.
How far in advance should I book my bus for a Giants or Jets game?
We recommend booking as soon as you have your game tickets or know your schedule. For major NFL games at MetLife Stadium, especially rivalry games or playoffs, demand for buses in the Clifton and Northern New Jersey area skyrockets. Ideally, you should try to book at least 3 to 6 months in advance to secure the best pricing and vehicle availability. However, we can often accommodate last-minute requests, so don't hesitate to call us at 862-282-0541 even if the game is just around the corner.
Do you offer transportation to sporting events out of state?
Yes, we do! Charter Bus Clifton is a long-distance travel expert. If you are a fan group wanting to travel to Philadelphia for an Eagles game, Boston for a Red Sox game, or even down to D.C., we can take you there. Our charter buses are designed for long-haul comfort with amenities like reclining seats, onboard restrooms, and TVs to pass the time. We can plan the entire route for you, ensuring you arrive in the opposing city refreshed and ready to cheer.
What happens if the game goes into overtime?
We understand that sports are unpredictable! When you book your bus rental, you are booking it for a specific block of time. If you think the game might run long (overtime, extra innings, rain delays), we recommend padding your rental time by an extra hour or two when you book to be safe. If you do go over your scheduled time on the day of the event, you will typically be billed for the additional hours at an overtime rate. Your driver will stay with the bus and wait for you until the game is over.
