Comfortable, Modern Buses With Room for Everyone
No matter how many people you need to transport, we have a bus that fits your needs. Our fleet includes 18-, 20-, 25-passenger minibuses and 56-passenger full-size charter buses, so you can easily accommodate small classes or entire grade levels. Every bus comes equipped with cushioned seats, powerful A/C, and plenty of storage space for backpacks, coolers, and equipment. Larger models offer reclining seats, footrests, and optional onboard restrooms to keep everyone comfortable on longer trips.
Heading out of town for an overnight field trip or college tour? Students can stretch out and relax while their driver handles the traffic. With a private charter bus, you’ll never have to worry about anyone getting separated or lost on the way to your destination.
Upgraded Amenities Make Travel Fun and Engaging
Say goodbye to boring yellow school buses! When you rent a charter bus for your next field trip, you’ll enjoy a variety of upgraded amenities that make travel time more enjoyable for students and chaperones alike. Stay cool with powerful air conditioning, catch up on homework with free WiFi and power outlets, or unwind with movies on flat-screen monitors and DVD players. Many of our buses also feature reclining seats, tray tables, and PA systems for announcements and guided tours.
Need to keep younger students entertained on a long ride? Bring along their favorite DVDs or stream educational videos from the web. Older students will appreciate having USB ports to charge their phones and laptops during the trip. With comfortable seating and modern entertainment options, the journey will fly by before you know it.
Custom Itineraries Built Around Your Schedule
One of the biggest advantages of renting a charter bus is having complete control over your itinerary. Unlike pre-packaged tours or public transportation, a private bus follows your exact schedule from start to finish. Plan a day trip to the Yale Peabody Museum of Natural History, the Connecticut Science Center, or the Mystic Aquarium without worrying about missed connections or tight transfer windows. If you’re visiting multiple sites in one day, your driver will handle all the parking and navigation while you focus on keeping students engaged.
Out-of-state trips are easy too! We regularly provide transportation for college visits, band competitions, and leadership conferences in Boston, New York City, and Washington D.C. Just send us your agenda, and we’ll make sure everyone arrives on time.
Affordable Pricing That Fits Your Budget
We know that funding for school transportation can be tight, which is why we work hard to offer competitive rates on every rental. Our pricing is based on factors like mileage, trip duration, and vehicle size, so you’ll never pay for more bus than you need. Smaller groups can save money by booking a minibus, while larger classes benefit from the cost efficiency of a single full-size coach.
To get an accurate quote, simply fill out our online form with details about your trip—including dates, destinations, and headcount—and we’ll send you a personalized estimate in minutes. Once you see how affordable it is to upgrade from a school bus to a charter bus, you’ll never want to travel any other way.
Perfect for Field Trips, Campus Shuttles, Athletics, and More
Our buses aren’t just for field trips—they’re also ideal for campus shuttles, athletic teams, and special events. Colleges and universities can use our services to transport students between satellite buildings, dormitories, and parking lots, reducing congestion and improving safety on campus. Athletic departments love having a dedicated bus for away games, complete with room for uniforms and equipment bags.
We also provide transportation for academic competitions, theater productions, and graduation ceremonies. If you have a recurring need for student travel, ask about setting up a contract shuttle service that runs on a fixed schedule throughout the semester.
