Simply contact us at 1-855-826-6770 to learn more about the availability of certain bus rentals in your city or to calculate your trip quote for free!

Improved Field Trip Experiences

Avoid traveling in a traditional school bus for your next field trip, and focus instead on renting a charter bus for a climate-controlled and comfortable journey. A charter bus rental will allow you to add amenities such as cushy reclining seats for quick naps, free WiFi for on-the-go assignments, flat screen TVs and AV entertainment for educational videos, PA systems for announcements or headcounts, restrooms for quick access, and more. The journey will be less excruciating and more exciting with your students, staff, and mentors onboard.

Easy Off-site Faculty Meetings

GOGO Charters is happy to provide off-campus bus transportation in the event your staff wants to get away from the usual meeting rooms. By renting a charter bus, you’ll ensure that everyone sticks together and arrives on time without being held up by traffic or other unforeseen circumstances. It’s also important to note that mingling on a charter bus is a great way to break the ice before the meeting starts!

Streamline Transportation to Greek Events

If you’re part of a fraternity or sorority that arranges parties or off-campus events from time to time, it’s essential to book a bus rental to ensure that all members travel together and arrive at the event promptly before the general public. You can even utilize the luggage bins on your bus rental for party supplies, food, and drinks so that multiple trips aren’t required to transport these goods. On the occasion that there’s alcohol served at these events, instead of looking for a designated driver, you can rely on your charter bus driver to get your members safely back to campus. 

Tour Colleges On Your Own Time

Our far-reaching transportation network allows us to provide bus rentals to any college campus in the United States, including cities like New York City , Los Angeles , Atlanta , or Washington DC . Instead of relying on unpredictable public transportation, your group will be able to visit any metropolitan college campus or small college town in the United States with GOGO Charters. Your driver will make sure to drop you off right where the tour begins so you can focus on enjoying your time on campus. 

Travel Off-campus for Research Gatherings

Conducting an important research study with your classmates? Instead of traveling in individual cars to the archaeological site, forest, lake, or laboratory, opt for a bus rental instead to keep everyone in one place, under one roof. If your study involves traveling with extensive equipment, books, and papers, you can utilize the luggage cabins onboard for safe keeping. The free WiFi on the bus will also prove to be helpful when you need access to the internet for last-minute research needs or to take group selfies to commemorate the occasion!

Organize Transportation for Marches, Protests and Non-profit Events

GOGO Charters is proud to provide transportation to historical marches and events that rally for important causes. If your school or university is participating in events such as Pride, Womens March, or Black Lives Matter (to name a few), we can pair you with the appropriate charter bus rental for the occasion. Since traffic and overcrowding is usually an issue during these events, traveling in a bus rental is the best way to get to your destination on time without hunting for multiple parking spots for your group. In addition, you can store all your march merchandise (poster boards, flags, banners etc.) on your bus rental or use the compact restroom to freshen up your appearance after a day of passionate activism.

Sports Travel for Schools and Colleges

Have an upcoming sporting event at your school or university? Streamline travel to all away games, intramural sports or physically intensive competitions with a bus rental from GOGO Charters. All athletes will be able to kick back and relax in the climate-controlled bus cabins or can listen to game-day music or anthems over the loudspeakers in the bus rental. The large luggage bins will also provide enough space to store sports equipment, duffle bags and coolers for the game. Moreover, traveling in a bus will ensure a memorable bonding experience for your team without sacrificing on space and comfort.

Travel Anywhere with GOGO Charters

Since we provide 24/7 private bus transportation to over 300 cities nationwide , there are endless opportunities for you to arrange educational trips with GOGO Charters. Whether your plans take you to career fairs, spelling bees, chess club tournaments or even proms, we have the right bus rental for any occasion . In addition to customizing your onboard amenities, your reservation specialist can even help you book an ADA-accessible bus so that everyone on board is able to enjoy the off-campus event without any limitations.

Guide to Renting a Charter Bus for School Field Trips

Sending kids on a field trip is something that most teachers do regularly in school. Field trips serve to build team spirit, strengthen teacher-student connections, and make classes more enjoyable. It is critical to plan everything ahead of time and select an appropriate mode of school trip transportation.

Student bus rentals are a great way to keep your entire group together in one vehicle, boosting school spirit and encouraging budding friendships. When renting a school bus for a field trip, the primary considerations are comfort, ease of travel, and, most importantly, the protection of children. Hiring a charter bus for a field trip is a fantastic option, and here’s a quick rundown of things to consider.

Types of Bus

Here are the most commonly rented types of buses for school trips:

Coach Bus The coach bus, often known as a “motor coach,” provides a variety of modern and, sometimes luxurious, features not seen in other bus rental alternatives. These amenities include air conditioning, power and AUX plugs, and high-speed WIFI. The coach bus has seating for up to 55 people and is ideal for transporting large groups of people over long distances. This is especially useful for student trips lasting more than 3 hours since they can use the extra hour or two on the journey to study or simply relax and watch a movie.

Minibus Minibus rentals are suitable for smaller student groups travelling short distances or making frequent stops. The minibus is a very small vehicle that is built for efficiency and fuel economy. This vehicle, which has a configuration similar to that of a full-size school bus, can accommodate up to 21 people at a time. Due to their tiny size, minibus rentals are good for traversing congested cities, making them an excellent choice for sightseeing excursions.

School Bus The school bus is a traditional rental choice for student groups of various sizes, from K-12 to college students. This vehicle has a capacity of 47 passengers and is ideal for short trips. The school bus is the most basic of bus types, having only the absolute minimum of features to securely and reliably transport your group from point A to point B. School bus rentals are meant to keep expenses low, providing a cost-effective choice for all of your student group’s outings.

Benefits of Renting School Bus

Even the most seasoned teachers find dealing with a large group of children outside of a closed school atmosphere difficult. If your pupils are becoming concerned as a result of the ride’s inconvenience, the turmoil is going to explode.

Hiring modern coach buses for school trips eliminates this issue. You get soft and comfy seats, plenty of room for everyone, and exciting and lovely views out the windows. Almost every modern charter bus now includes a range of amenities. The most vital is a built-in toilet. Motion sickness is aggravating for anybody, but it’s especially so for children. If your bus has a toilet, you won’t need to make an emergency stop.

Trustworthy When it comes to transportation, there are a lot of unpleasant circumstances that might cause you to miss your flight or even spoil your entire trip. The safety of children is, of course, the most important consideration. When planning field excursions, always use a professional bus company to reduce the danger of any kind of mishap.

Charter bus drivers are trained professionals, ensuring the safety and overall quality of the bus ride. Drivers arrive on the job well-prepared, with a thorough understanding of the route they will drive and the present road situation.

Clean and Hygienic One child can make a mess, and a full class can make a disaster. This is why professional charter bus operators clean and disinfect their buses regularly to ensure that there is no risk to the passengers’ health, particularly children.

With COVID-19 tightened cleaning rules, bus companies for school field trips go above and beyond in cleaning their vehicles, so you can rest assured that the bus you’re about to board is spotless and safe for your children.

Enjoyable Having a charter bus for a school trip just adds to the relaxed atmosphere and pleasant times with your peers during a school field trip. There’s plenty of time for youngsters to have a good time on the journey there and back. The trip will be remembered for its smooth ride and spectacular scenery.

Tips for Renting a School Bus Service

Charter buses for school trips can make your journey a little easier, whether you’re travelling with a school group or a summer camp. Here’s a list of useful tips to bear in mind when renting a school bus:

Look into your bus options A school bus is a common and convenient mode of transportation for children, and it can be effective for short travels. Long-distance journeys or outings with hours of traffic can rapidly become uncomfortable. Consider renting a modern coach to keep the kids entertained and comfortable.

The size of your party will usually determine which type of charter bus is suitable for your group of children. Minibuses have fewer storage possibilities and do not have onboard facilities, so keep that in mind while choosing your bus model. If you’re travelling long distances and have little children who might require a potty break in the middle of the journey, a full-size charter bus might be a better option.

Think about safety and mobility requirements While school buses are a safe and reliable mode of transportation, charter buses may provide both comfort and safety. Some charter bus models, like school buses, do not have seat belts. However, if you’re travelling with children and safety belts are a must-have item, let your reservation specialist know when making your reservation. Accessible transportation for persons with disabilities regulations can also be reserved to safely assist guests who are unable to transfer from mobility equipment.

Request amenities Charter bus rentals can have several features that make travelling with children less stressful. To keep kids occupied and prevent the dreaded “we’re bored!” exclamations, you can select entertainment alternatives like WiFi and TVs with DVD players. To occupy young children, play a movie or allow older children to stream their favourite media on their mobile devices.

Inquire about your driver

If you have a large and rowdy group, you may want to choose a driver who has expertise in driving around kids. It’s best if you can find a driver who has special certificates or permissions required by your local government or school board, has passed a comprehensive background check, and has passed a drug test.

Consider your travel dates and locations The availability of charter buses varies based on when and where you want to travel. The busiest seasons for parties travelling with children are spring and summer, which can cause charter bus availability to decline and rates to climb. During these busy seasons, you’ll want to stay on top of securing school field trip transportation. To ensure that you get the best sort of bus for your field trip, start the booking procedure at least 6 months ahead of time.

Plan ahead of time for payment Although regular credit card payment is straightforward, reserving bus services may occasionally require purchase orders, contracts, or other documentation. Make sure to inform your reservation agent of alternative payment methods. Because processing these payments might take some time, plan your field trip or kid-friendly event as far ahead as possible.

Charter Bus for School Field Trips

Embarking on school field trips provides students with a chance to explore new horizons beyond the classroom. Midwest Motorcoach specializes in school trip transportation, offering a variety of field trip charter bus services tailored to your educational travel needs.

Quality School Trip Transportation Services

School buses are a common sight on daily commutes, but charter buses for school field trips turn a routine ride into an exciting journey to learning destinations. Whether it’s a hands-on science experience at a museum or the thrill of an amusement park, we ensure that every school trip bus rental is a comfortable and safe adventure.

The Benefits: Enhanced Safety and Comfort with Charter Bus Rentals for School Trips

While the iconic yellow school bus efficiently transports children to and from their daily lessons, its limitations become apparent when planning extended excursions for larger groups or distant destinations. This is where the advantages of chartering a specialized school trip bus rental become invaluable:

Enhanced Safety: For those longer journeys that extend beyond the school zone, a charter bus for school field trips is equipped with superior safety features compared to traditional school buses. By choosing to charter, you gain the peace of mind that comes with an experienced driver at the helm, someone who’s trained and credentialed to navigate your precious cargo to their destination safely.

Climate Control: The quest for comfort on a bus isn’t just about the seats—it’s also about the air you breathe and the temperature you feel. Many school buses still in operation lack the basic amenity of air conditioning, leading to a sweltering experience on warmer days. Opt for a Midwest Motorcoach, and you’ll enjoy climate-controlled interiors that keep the environment inside just right, no matter the weather outside.

Onboard Entertainment: Long trips can test the patience of even the most studious pupils. Our coach buses for school trips are outfitted with onboard Wi-Fi, transforming travel time into an opportunity for entertainment or continued learning, all while keeping students engaged.

Convenient Onboard Facilities: The logistics of traveling with children are simplified when breaks for restrooms and managing luggage are minimized. Our field trip charter bus fleet comes standard with ample storage and onboard restrooms, ensuring that stops are few and the journey to your educational destination is efficient.

Charter Bus Rentals for School Field Trips & Outings

Whether it’s a short educational excursion or an extended journey of discovery, Midwest Motorcoach is your reliable partner in school trip transportation. Our fleet, featuring everything from mini coach buses to full-size charter buses for school field trips, is at your disposal to ensure a seamless travel experience tailored to your group’s specific needs.

How are bus prices determined.

You're planning a group outing and you've done the research. You like the flexibility, dependability and safety of a charter bus rental. But what's it going to cost? What steps can you take to make sure you're getting the best price?

It probably won't surprise you to learn that charter bus travel is consistently considered to offer more for your travel dollars than any other mode of transportation. Most charter bus companies charge a fixed price for the coach, so the more people you have in your group, the less each person will typically pay. In addition, fixed expenses such as gas, parking and highway tolls are all shared.

Okay, we have convinced you that charter bus travel will be easier on your pocketbook than other options, but just how much will it cost? Interestingly, one of the advantages of charter bus travel that makes it an attractive option for travelers, also makes it more difficult to nail down an exact cost. There are such a wide range of options available! Here are some of the variables that affect the cost of a charter bus trip.

What Factors Affect the Cost of a Charter Bus?

The actual cost of a charter bus trip will vary, based on:

When you want to travel — Like most industries, bus charters have peak seasons and off-seasons, and costs vary accordingly. In addition, the seasonal variations can differ based on geography—winters see a greater demand for a charter bus rental in Florida than New England, but during the summer, New York City is a more popular destination that Phoenix. There's greater interest in charter bus rentals in the spring and summer, when they are ideal for graduation parties, family reunions and weddings. Due to this you will likely pay more for a bus in summer than in winter.

The time of the week can also have an impact on charter bus costs. There's a greater demand for coaches on weekends than during the week, so you can expect to pay more if you rent Friday through Sunday than if you book a weekday trip.

Where you're going and how long you'll be there — As a general rule, charter bus rental fees are based on one of two methods—the amount of time you need the bus or by the total number of miles traveled. If you're planning to be gone only a few hours, you'll usually pay an hourly rate. There's typically a minimum number of hours billed—five is the standard. However, if you plan to be gone the entire day, you'll most likely be charged by the mile.

If your trip requires an overnight stay or involves being gone overnight, expect to be billed by the day. Furthermore, if you have overnight accommodations anywhere, you'll need to cover the costs of lodging for your driver(s).

Government regulations prohibit charter bus drivers from being on the road more than ten hours consecutively without a minimum of eight hours off. You can hire an additional driver if you don't want to stop for that long.

The number of people in your group — This will determine the type of coach you rent. Different buses have different seating capacities and different pricing. For example, an executive mini-coach will cost approximately $115 per hour, but a mini-bus can range from $75 to $105 per hour. Executive buses are usually between $175 to $250 per an hour, school buses range from around $55 to $70 per hour, and the standard charter buses usually run $100 to $150 per hour.

Any special needs you have — Most charter buses have certain basic features — Wifi, smartphone hookups and DVD players are standard with most coaches now. There are additional options, such as on-board restroom facilities, but they'll add to the total cost.

Where you depart — Some geographic locations are simply more conducive to charter bus travel than others. In some of the nation's older cities, for example, the streets can be narrow, making it difficult for larger charter buses to navigate. For that reason, there may be fewer charter bus operators and fewer options, potentially leading to higher costs. If there's no charter bus provider in your place of departure, you may have to pay extra to bring a charter bus from a distant location.

Whether you're traveling round-trip or one-way — When traveling a long distance round trip is more cost effective then a one-way trip.

Additional fees and costs incurred — It's common practice to include certain out-of-pocket expenses, such as parking and road tolls, in the total cost of renting a charter bus. In addition, though it's optional, it's customary to tip your driver(s) before or at the end of your trip. The standard tip is 10% of the total cost of your charter bus rental.

Determining the Cost of a Charter Bus Trip

To get a better idea of the approximate cost of a charter bus trip, you can use the cost calculator above. Remember that the cost calculator can only give you an estimate of the final cost. The most effective way to know exactly how much you'll spend is to work directly with one of our experienced agents, who will know about any specials or other ways you can cut some costs.

Here are a few examples to give you an idea of how the different factors affect charter bus pricing:

Time of the year — To understand the difference between traveling during periods of peak demand and the off-season, consider the cost of a charter bus trip from Dallas, Texas to the Houston zoo, a trip that takes about three and half hours. Because Houston is a more popular destination in February than in August, there's a greater demand for charter buses in February and an increased cost. The estimated cost in February for a day trip on a 28 passenger bus is $1,579 and the August trip would cost slightly less ($1,435).

The day of the week — Because of the greater demand for charter buses on weekends, there's an increased cost. A 24 passenger mini-bus from New York to Philly will cost approximately $1,270 on a Tuesday, but about $1,410 on a Saturday.

The size of your coach — Here's a snapshot of the different daily rates for charter buses running from New York to Philadelphia:

• 24 Passenger Mini-Bus: $950 per vehicle
• 28 Passenger Mini-Bus: $990 per vehicle
• 44 Passenger School Bus: $950 per vehicle
• 49 Passenger Motor Coach: $1,190 per vehicle
• 56 Passenger Motor Coach: $1,300 per vehicle

The impact of being gone overnight — If you take that same day trip from Dallas to Houston in a 49 passenger coach, it will cost you approximately $1,765. If you plan to stay overnight, the cost will be $3,562. The New York day trip to Philadelphia on a 49 passenger bus costs approximately $1,190, whereas an overnight trip will cost $2,300.

The distance you travel — Though the greater the distance, the greater the cost, the increase is not necessarily proportional to the distance. For example, a day trip from Birmingham, Alabama to Nashville, Tennessee, on a 49 passenger bus, will cost approximately $2,122 for a 390 mile trip. A day trip from Birmingham to Atlanta, Georgia, on the same sized bus, will cost $1,930 for a 295 mile excursion.

Ways to Manage the Cost of Your Charter Bus Rental

Though there are a wide range of variables that go into the pricing of a charter bus, there are steps you can take to help your group get the best pricing:

Make your reservation early — While the variables involved with determining the exact cost of a charter bus are many, one thing is almost always true—the earlier you book, the more options you'll have. With more options, you'll be able to get a better price. The longer you wait, the greater the likelihood that you'll have to book a coach that's bigger than you want.

Make Off-peak Trips — Travel during offseason and during the week, rather than on weekends to lower costs.Make certain you know when the highest demand will be for charter buses from your point of departure to your destination. Take the time to find out if there are other major events where you are going when you plan to be there. Determine whether you need to be there on a weekend.

Book the right-sized coach — You want enough room for your travelers to be comfortable, but you don't want to pay for a lot of seats that don't get used.

Talk to an experienced agent before you book — Start with the cost calculator to get a ballpark estimate of the cost, but always talk to a live agent to find the bus that best fits your trip, along with helpful hints and the best pricing.

Overnight Trips — Check with your hotel/motel to see if they offer reduced rates for your driver. Contact any venues you'll visit to learn of parking alternatives for your bus.

• Differences and Similarities Between Coach Buses and School Buses

Today, it’s possible to rent various vehicles, such as coach buses and school buses, for your transportation needs. While these vehicles have several similarities, recognizing the differences between what coach travel is and what it means to ride a school bus will help you understand what benefits they each provide.

Table of Contents

History of Buses and Coaches

The first bus was initially called an omnibus in 1826 and was a public form of horse-drawn carriage that would serve as inner-city transportation. The first yellow school bus  came to be in 1839 , when education expert Frank Cyr set out to standardize the way kids used public transportation to get to and from school. Currently, school buses serve multiple purposes, from taking kids to school to transporting wedding parties.

A coach began as a  stagecoach in 15th century England and was an iteration of the horse-drawn carriage. This vehicle would transport travelers longer distances, such as to different cities. Eventually, lodges were built as rest stops for the travelers of coaches, which gained a reputation as more of a luxurious form of transportation. Coach buses continue to take travelers on longer trips today.

Similarities Between School Buses and Coaches

A school bus and coach bus share similarities in that they are larger road vehicles that transport a group of passengers from one location to another. Both have seats intended to be used by passengers and have drivers who are responsible for making sure everyone aboard the vehicle gets to their predetermined destination.

Differences Between School Buses and Coaches

School buses and coaches have more differences than they do similarities. For instance, school buses have the same daily route within several neighborhoods to fetch students. The driver will stop only at the school it represents and students are expected to know which stop to get off to reach their destination.

Coaches are the best bus to use to travel longer distances, often past city limits and with several stops that serve as refreshments for passengers. They are intended to transport privately booked passengers and their luggage to a final destination.

Choose Executive Coach for High-Quality Coach Buses

Despite their similarities, school buses and coaches are entirely different modes of transportation. Coaches are the best buses for road trips and traveling long distances.

3 hurt after school bus crashes into Virginia DMV building

Three people, including two kids, were taken to the hospital after a school bus crashed into a Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles building on Thursday morning, according to Fairfax County police.

The DMV location is at the intersection of Braddock Road and Burke Station Road.

The school bus driver swerved off the road and hit the building after a second vehicle on the road failed to yield, according to a spokesperson for Fairfax County police.

The bus driver was taken to the hospital along with two children, and they all are expected to recover. No DMV employees were injured, Virginia DMV spokesperson Jillian Cowherd said in a statement.

The driver of the second vehicle was given a ticket for failure to yield, according to the police spokesperson.

Customers who had appointments at the DMV showed up Thursday, confused as to why the building had been shut down.

There was a sizable dent visible in the building where the bus made impact, but the overall damage appeared to be minimal.

“I had an appointment, came here and just saw that it was closed and I thought that was odd because it’s a fairly new building and I don’t know why they would close it,” said DMV customer CarolAnn Miragliuolo.

A note posted on the door read “This DMV customer service center is temporarily closed due to unsafe conditions. Every attempt is being made to restore service as quickly as possible.”

“I’m just glad to hear that nobody was seriously hurt,” Miragliuolo said. “That’s more important than my appointment.”

2 other school bus crashes in DC area Thursday morning

The crash in Fairfax is one of three separate school bus collisions that happened to all take place Thursday morning.

In Prince George’s County, a school bus collided into a home in the 10000 block Riggs Rd in Adelphi, Maryland, just before 9 a.m., according Prince George’s County Fire and EMS Department.

The Maryland school bus driver was hurt but is expected to survive; no one else was injured. No students were riding the bus at the time of the crash,

It’s unclear what led up to that crash.

In Montgomery County, another bus crashed at around 9 a.m., this time striking a utility pole, police said . Some lanes were block on Clarksburg Road between Barnesville Road and Top Ridge Drive in Boyds.
