Shuttle Buses for Every Type of School Trip
No two school trips are exactly alike—which is why we offer so many different options. Need something budget-friendly for a local field trip? Try one of our 18-passenger minibuses. Taking the band or football team on the road? You’ll love our 56-seat motorcoaches with room for everyone and their gear. We can even arrange multiple vehicles for large groups or special events.
If you’re not sure what size you need, just ask! Our experts will provide you with the perfect vehicle based on your headcount, destination, and budget. And if you have multiple pickup points or a complex itinerary, we’ll help you work out all the details.
Field Trip Bus Rentals to Museums, Zoos, and More
Give your students a better way to travel with a field trip bus rental that keeps everyone together, comfortable, and entertained. Skip the old yellow school bus and upgrade to a modern charter bus with cushioned seats, strong A/C, and optional WiFi for streaming educational videos or movies. Teachers and chaperones will appreciate the smooth ride and onboard PA system for making announcements.
Popular destinations include the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium, COSI science center, Franklin Park Conservatory, and the Ohio History Center. We’ve also helped schools plan longer trips to places like the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland or the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force in Dayton. No matter where you’re going, we’ll get you there safely and on time.
Athletic Travel for High School and College Teams
Coaches, athletic directors, and booster clubs trust Columbus Shuttle Bus Rentals to move their teams because we understand how important logistics are on game day. Our drivers show up early, stick to your schedule, and make sure everyone gets home safely after the final whistle. We can even help arrange hotel shuttles or airport transfers for out-of-town tournaments.
Need extra luggage space for helmets, pads, or band instruments? Just let us know—we’ll send a bus with underfloor storage bays or tow a trailer behind one of our larger models. And if your players want to watch game film on the way, they can plug into the onboard monitors or connect a laptop via HDMI.
We’ve worked with high schools in the OCC, CCL, and City League as well as college programs at Ohio State, Otterbein, Capital, and more. Whether it’s Friday night lights or a trip to the state championships, we’ll get you there.
Campus Shuttles and Off-site Transportation
Colleges and universities use our services for everything from daily campus loops to special-event shuttles during orientation or graduation. If you have students living off-campus or need to move people between satellite buildings, we can set up a custom route that runs as often as you need.
Other options include late-night safety escorts, rides to local shopping centers, or transportation to clinical placements and internships. Schools like OSU, Columbus State, and Franklin University appreciate having a flexible solution that fills the gap between public transit and personal vehicles.
Overnight and Out-of-state Trips
Planning something big? We handle overnight and out-of-state trips too. Take your seniors to Washington D.C., organize a ski trip to Mad River Mountain, or visit college campuses across the region. Our larger buses come equipped with reclining seats, restrooms, and video screens to make long journeys more comfortable.
We’ll help you plan rest stops, meal breaks, and hotel transfers so everything runs smoothly from start to finish. And because we operate nationwide, you’ll always have support no matter how far you travel.
