We help teachers, administrators, and parent groups secure affordable, reliable transportation for academic outings of any size.

You set the itinerary—we follow it exactly. And if you need multiple buses or special pickup times, our team will build a custom plan that meets your needs.
Custom Itineraries and Private Service for Every Trip
One of the biggest advantages of renting a charter bus for your next school trip? You have complete control over the schedule. Unlike traditional yellow school buses or pre-set tour packages, a private charter bus operates on your timetable—not ours. That means you can set pickup times that fit your bell schedule, add extra stops for lunch or additional exhibits, and even plan overnight trips without worrying about missed connections. Heading downtown during rush hour? We'll find the fastest route. Need curbside drop-off at a museum entrance? Consider it done. With a private bus, your itinerary is fully customizable from start to finish.
Comfortable Transportation for Long-distance Trips
If you’re traveling out of town—whether it’s a band competition in Harrisburg, a robotics tournament at Lehigh University, or a senior class trip to Washington, D.C.—you’ll appreciate the difference a modern coach makes. Reclining seats, individual reading lights, and climate control help everyone stay comfortable on longer rides. Onboard restrooms reduce the need for frequent stops, while luggage bays underneath the bus provide plenty of space for suitcases, instrument cases, or athletic equipment. Students can relax with friends, watch movies on video screens, or catch up on homework using Wi-Fi and power outlets. It’s a smarter way to travel—and often more affordable than flying or booking multiple vans.
College Tours and Campus Shuttle Service
Coach Bus Philadelphia also provides charter buses for college tours and campus shuttle service throughout the Philadelphia region. High school guidance counselors and youth organizations can book a field trip bus to visit local campuses like the University of Pennsylvania, Drexel University, Temple University, Saint Joseph’s University, Thomas Jefferson University, La Salle University, or Community College of Philadelphia. Planning a multi-day college road trip? We’ll help you build an itinerary that includes schools across Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and beyond.
For colleges and universities, we offer campus shuttle solutions that keep your students moving safely between classrooms, residence halls, and off-campus housing. Rent a bus with room for up to 56 passengers and set up a loop that runs on your schedule. Our fleet includes vehicles with comfortable seating, air conditioning, and optional amenities like Wi-Fi and power outlets—perfect for today’s connected students.
Transportation for School Sports, Band, and Academic Events
Need a better way to get your school’s athletes, musicians, or debate team to their next event? Upgrade from cramped vans and yellow buses to a charter bus built for comfort. We provide charter buses for school sports teams, band and choir trips, cheerleading competitions, and academic events like Science Olympiad or Model UN. Coaches and directors love having a single vehicle that holds the entire group plus all their gear. Store duffel bags, coolers, instrument cases, and props in the luggage bay while students stretch out in reclining seats. Everyone arrives together, warmed up and ready to win.
