Charter Bus Rentals for School Field Trips in Santa Maria

Choose the Right Bus Size & Amenities for Your Group

Finding the right charter bus rental size and amenities starts by calling the Charter Bus Santa Maria team at 805-602-5055 or using our online quote tool! When planning your school field trip transportation, your Charter Bus Santa Maria reservation expert will discuss several important things to keep in mind for you to receive an accurate quote. The type of bus you’ll want to rent, as well as its pricing and your group’s passenger count, will play an important part in getting the best transportation option for your group. Smaller field trips with up to 35 passengers will likely benefit from booking a compact minibus. These offer several of the same premium amenities that can be included in a full-size charter bus. If you’re staying local and traveling relatively short distances in Santa Maria and don’t need all the same accommodations as our 56 passenger full-sized buses (an on-board restroom and luggage bays), your group might want to consider the 15-35 passenger minibuses to ensure there are enough seats, but not an excess that will have you overpaying on empty seats. Most minibuses have standard features like comfortable seats, climate controls and air-conditioning, and overhead storage, and you can book additional features like free WiFi, power outlets for devices, DVD players and TVs upon request! Regardless of where you’re going or who’s coming with you, we can help your field trip stay connected on the go. Large-scale groups with 35 or more students would likely want to rent a full-sized bus. If you need special accommodations like an ADA accessible bus, our reservation specialist will make sure to include a bus rental or multiple bus rentals for all of your students with appropriate amenities at no additional cost.

Reliable Rides for Fraternity & Sorority Events

When you book with us, we’ll ensure your organization members have reliable private shuttle service in a modern party bus or charter bus rental outfitted with the amenities of your choice. We have plenty of buses from 10- 50+ seaters! From shuttles to Greek-wide conferences, formals and celebrations across town or social events at local Santa Maria bars or breweries to philanthropic events across town, we will make sure you’re on time. We’ve been doing this for years – and we’re amazing! Students and members who are interested in booking long-term or regularly recurring shuttles for Greek organizations or student groups should speak with a reservation specialist about getting a personalized contract. You can organize a custom contract for daily shuttle services or plan a recurring event bus to campus destinations for special weekly or monthly events.

Santa Maria’s Best Provider of Field Trip Transportation

With so much planning involved when arranging a school field trip, booking group transportation to your destinations should be as seamless and reliable as possible. Forget organizing carpools with parent volunteers and instead allow Charter Bus Santa Maria to handle all the heavy lifting for your field trip charter bus or minibus rental! Forget needing to follow an unfamiliar route and stressing whether or not everyone will reach the location on time. Instead, relax on your bus as a local driver takes the wheel and steers you and your student to each spot on your itinerary with ease! Each of the drivers in our network is thoroughly checked, insured, and with a driving background in the Santa Maria area. In other words, if you need your students picked up at 8:00 a.m. for a guided tour of historic houses or local wineries—such as Rancho Guadalupe Vineyards or Costa de Oro Winery— you can rest assured that a charter bus driver will arrive early, greet the students promptly at the curb, and stow away their belongings before they take the wheel! And if you’ll be making pit stops to stretch your legs or to refuel between Santa Maria destinations, Charter Bus Santa Maria can pair you with a bus rental that’s equipped with handy features and modern amenities to make your drive that much more comfy and fun. We can set up your field trip bus with onboard restrooms to reduce bathroom breaks, TV screens and a DVD player to keep students entertained, reclining seats to catch a quick nap if there’s a long drive, and free WiFi. You’ll also enjoy a clean charter bus or minibus rental with an appropriate number of seats, including an option for an ADA-accessible charter bus at no additional cost.

Enhance the Student Experience with Campus Transportation

When traveling throughout the university or college campuses in and around Santa Maria, you want to be able to focus on your classes or meetings and other academic ventures without needing to worry about getting there. Students who are carpooling may need to find rides from their classmates if a meeting runs a little bit too late or may need to reschedule activities around their transportation. When you provide a private, regularly recurring charter bus shuttle on and around campus, this makes getting around the campus much, much simpler. Shuttle buses are also a big plus for those living in off-campus student housing that’s not conveniently located within walking distance to the main buildings, whether you are coordinating transportation with local student housing providers or your university is seeking to offer its own personalized campus transportation. You won’t have to worry about parking passes and availability or navigating hectic student drop off zones. Your shuttle driver will follow custom shuttle routes between campuses, student buildings, offices, classrooms, off-campus housing, or designated parking lots. Plus, if your student organizations are interested in planning large scale events and fundraisers with many participants—or perhaps need a ride for a celebratory tailgate or pep rally, we can connect you with charter bus rentals to suit your transportation requirements.
