A Fleet for Groups of All Sizes
No matter how many students you need to transport, we have a bus that will get them there comfortably. Our fleet includes everything from 15-passenger minibuses to 56-passenger motorcoaches, with several mid-size options available as well. Smaller groups may get you a minibus or sprinter van ideal for short trips around town, while larger classes will appreciate the spacious seating and ample storage space of a full-size charter bus. If you’re traveling with hundreds of students, we can even dispatch multiple vehicles to accommodate everyone in your group.
Not sure which type of bus is best for your field trip? Tell us about your headcount and destination, and we’ll recommend a solution that meets your requirements.
Comfortable and Modern Amenities
Keep your students happy and occupied during the ride by choosing a bus equipped with modern amenities. Many of our charter buses feature reclining seats, individual reading lights, climate control, and overhead parcel racks for personal belongings. For longer journeys, request a vehicle with onboard WiFi and power outlets so kids can stream videos or play games on their devices. Flat-screen monitors and DVD players are perfect for showing educational films related to your destination, while an integrated PA system allows chaperones to make announcements or lead sing-alongs.
Restrooms are available on most full-size coaches, reducing the need for unscheduled bathroom breaks. There’s also plenty of room under the bus for storing backpacks, coolers, and project materials.
Affordable Rates for School Budgets
We know that funding for extracurricular activities can be limited, which is why we strive to offer some of the most competitive rates in the industry. When you book with Philadelphia Minibus Company, you’ll receive an instant quote tailored to your specific trip details—no hidden fees or surprise charges later on. The cost of renting a charter bus will depend on factors such as distance traveled, duration of the rental, and size of the vehicle, but splitting the total among all participants often makes it more economical than other modes of transportation.
To get an accurate estimate, have information ready about your pick-up location, destination, number of passengers, and any special requests. Once you’re satisfied with the proposal, securing your reservation is quick and easy.
Custom Itineraries and Flexible Scheduling
Unlike pre-packaged tours or public transit options, hiring a private bus gives you complete control over your schedule. Depart exactly when you want, visit multiple sites in one day, and spend as much time as needed at each stop without worrying about missing connections. Popular field trip spots we serve include the Franklin Institute, Philadelphia Museum of Art, Eastern State Penitentiary, Adventure Aquarium in Camden, and Valley Forge National Historical Park. Planning an overnight excursion? We’ll drop your group off at the hotel and return the next morning for pick-up. If your plans change unexpectedly, just let us know—we’re committed to accommodating last-minute adjustments whenever possible.
This level of flexibility ensures that your field trip runs smoothly from start to finish.

Whether your school is located in Center City, West Philly, Northeast Philly, or the Main Line, we’ll send a bus to your campus ready to transport students anywhere they need to go. We frequently arrange trips to local favorites like the Please Touch Museum, Philadelphia Zoo, Adventure Aquarium in Camden, and Valley Forge National Historical Park, as well as longer excursions to destinations such as Washington D.C., New York City, and Hersheypark.
