If You Used to Rent From Value Van & Car Rental
For 45 years, Value Van & Car Rental (Union & Newark, NJ) was the most-used independent van fleet for faith groups across northern New Jersey and lower Connecticut. In 2024–2025 they closed and directed customers to a single Bayonne-based successor.
TravelSeat Rentals is filling that gap from the Connecticut side. If your church previously rented from Value Van for Sunday shuttles, summer retreats, or mission trips, we can pick up the same service pattern — usually with a more convenient Stamford-area pickup or with-driver pickup at your church.
Faith-Group Trips We Run Regularly
Sunday Service Shuttle
Recurring Sunday-morning pickup from a senior-housing complex, parking garage, or distant neighborhood to your sanctuary, and back. Same-driver, same-van every week.
Youth Retreat Weekend
Friday-evening pickup at the church → retreat center (often Berkshires, Catskills, Hudson Valley, or coastal CT). Sunday-evening return.
Mission Trip Transport
Drop-off and pickup at JFK / EWR / LGA for mission teams flying out. Onward ground transport to project sites in the Tri-State.
Conference & Convention Travel
Denominational conferences, choir competitions, women's-ministry retreats, men's fellowship trips. Single-day or multi-day depending on schedule.
How Faith-Group Bookings Are Structured
- Self-drive (standard). The church provides a qualified, licensed driver on the rental agreement. Best for routine Sunday shuttles and short retreats.
- Optional licensed driver (add-on). For longer trips, late-night returns, or mission travel where a hired driver is the cleaner structure, ask us to quote a driver add-on. See optional driver page.
- Recurring contracts for weekly or monthly trips reduce per-trip cost. We can lock pricing for the year ahead.
- Certificate of Insurance available on request if the destination venue (retreat center, conference hall, mission HQ) requires one.
