Party Bus and Limo Service in Bernards Township, NJ

By GEOFF CAPLAN

Ask anyone in Somerset County to name a town that has it all, and Bernards Township comes up fast. Historic village greens, top-ranked schools, corporate campuses, and some of the prettiest countryside in New Jersey all share the same zip codes here. When residents of Basking Ridge, Liberty Corner, and the surrounding neighborhoods need a limousine or party bus for a wedding, a prom, a business event, or a night out, many of them turn to Action Limos, a family-owned company that has been serving New Jersey for nearly 50 years.

Getting to Know Bernards Township

Bernards Township takes its name from Sir Francis Bernard, a colonial governor of New Jersey, and its roots stretch back to a royal charter granted in 1760. Today the township is home to roughly 27,000 residents spread across two dozen square miles of Somerset Hills countryside, and it consistently lands on lists of the best and safest places to live in the state.

The heart of the township is Basking Ridge, a village that looks like it was designed for a postcard. The historic downtown, the village green, and the Basking Ridge Presbyterian Church anchor a community that takes its history seriously. For centuries, the churchyard was shaded by the famous Great Oak, a tree that stood for an estimated 600 years before it was finally retired in 2017. A sapling grown from that very oak now grows in its place, which tells you something about how this town feels about tradition.

Liberty Corner, the township’s other historic village, has its own claim to fame as the home of the United States Golf Association headquarters. Revolutionary War buffs know the area for Lord Stirling’s estate, where William Alexander, one of George Washington’s generals, once lived. Today Lord Stirling Park and its stable keep the equestrian tradition alive.

Bernards is not all history, though. Major corporate campuses, including Verizon’s sprawling Basking Ridge complex, make the township a business destination in its own right. With Interstate 287 and Interstate 78 both running through town, residents can reach Newark Airport, Manhattan, and every corner of New Jersey without much trouble. The video below gives a nice feel for the village of Basking Ridge.

Nearly 50 Years of Serving New Jersey

Action Limos was founded nearly 50 years ago by John Garrabrant, who remains the owner and hands-on leader of the company to this day. As New Jersey’s oldest limousine service, Action Limos has outlasted countless competitors for one simple reason: the company treats every reservation like it matters, because it does.

That longevity means something in a town like Bernards, where families put down roots and stay for generations. The same company that drove a Basking Ridge couple to their wedding years ago is now driving their kids to prom at Ridge High School. Chauffeurs are licensed, insured, professionally dressed, and trained to keep even the most complicated event schedule running on time.

The Only Indoor Showroom in New Jersey

Here is what truly separates Action Limos from every other operator serving Bernards Township. The company runs the only indoor showroom in New Jersey, located at 261 Monroe Ave. in Kenilworth. Instead of choosing a vehicle from a handful of photos on a website, clients can walk the actual fleet in person, in any weather, any time of year.

Step inside the party buses and check the seating. Sit in the vintage limousines and picture the wedding photos. Test the sound systems and the lighting. For an event as important as a wedding or a milestone birthday, there is no substitute for seeing the exact vehicle before booking it. The two videos below offer a preview of what the fleet looks like.

Events Action Limos Serves in Bernards Township

Weddings. Between the historic churches of Basking Ridge and Liberty Corner and the estate venues scattered throughout the Somerset Hills, Bernards is wedding country. Action Limos specializes in weddings, offering vintage limousines for the ceremony and photos, stretch limos and party buses for the bridal party, and red carpet service with a champagne toast for the newlyweds.

Airport and business travel. With Verizon and other major employers in town and Interstate 78 a short hop from EWR Newark Liberty International Airport, Bernards generates plenty of business travel. A professional car service means no parking fees, no shuttle buses, and no stress.

Proms and school events. Ridge High School is one of the top-rated schools in New Jersey, and prom night here is a big deal. Parents get the peace of mind of a licensed professional chauffeur, and students get to arrive in style with all their friends in one vehicle.

Golf outings. With the USGA headquartered in Liberty Corner and world-class courses throughout the area, group transportation to golf events is a natural fit for this township.

Nights out and celebrations. Dinner in Morristown or Bernardsville, a show in New York City, a concert at the Prudential Center, or a winery tour through Hunterdon County all become easier and more fun when someone else is driving.
