Why Schools Book With Santa Monica Shuttle Bus Company
Schools choose Santa Monica Shuttle Bus Company because we get the job done right—every time. When you book with us, you’re working with a company that has over 15 years of experience providing charter buses for school trips across Southern California and beyond. We’ve handled everything from elementary school field trips to the California Science Center to multi-bus college tours up the coast to UC Berkeley and Stanford. Need to move 500 students to a band competition? We’ve done it. Flying into LAX with a group of international students? We’ll pick you up and get you through traffic.
Our fleet includes vehicles of every size so you can get exactly what you need at a price that fits your budget. And once you hit the road, you’ll appreciate the upgraded amenities like reclining seats, WiFi, power outlets, and video screens for showing educational films or keeping kids entertained on longer rides. We operate 24/7 because we know school schedules don’t always run 9-to-5—and neither do we. If you want reliable service from a company that understands how schools operate, call Santa Monica Shuttle Bus Company and see why so many districts put their trust in us.
Comfortable Amenities Make a Difference
One of the biggest advantages of booking a field trip charter bus is the onboard experience. Unlike old yellow school buses, modern charter buses come equipped with reclining seats, individual reading lights, climate control, and plenty of legroom. Students can stay occupied with free WiFi, watch movies on flat-screen monitors, or charge their devices using USB ports and power outlets. Larger coaches even feature onboard restrooms, reducing the number of stops on longer trips and keeping everyone on schedule. When students are comfortable, they arrive focused and ready to learn.
Custom Packages Built Around Your Itinerary
No two field trips are alike—which is why we build custom packages around your exact itinerary. Tell us where you’re going, how many people you’re bringing, and what your schedule looks like, and we’ll put together a transportation plan that hits every stop right on time. Doing a loop of downtown LA museums with multiple drop-offs? Heading out of town for an overnight science camp? Shuttling between hotel and campus for a college visit? We map out the best routes, coordinate pickup times, and make sure you have the right size vehicle for each leg of the trip.
You set the agenda, and we provide the wheels to make it happen. It’s transportation built around your needs—not the other way around.
Serving Every School—public, Private, and Higher Ed
Santa Monica Shuttle Bus Company provides charter buses for school trips to institutions of every type and size. We work with public school districts like SMMUSD, LAUSD, and PUSD; private and parochial schools including Crossroads, Harvard-Westlake, Loyola High School, and St. Monica Catholic Elementary; as well as colleges and universities such as Santa Monica College, UCLA, USC, LMU, and Pepperdine. Whether you’re running a daily campus shuttle, organizing a weekend retreat, or taking a preschool class to the zoo, we have a vehicle that fits your group.
Our fleet includes everything from 18-passenger minibuses for small groups to 56-seat motorcoaches for moving entire grade levels at once. Need multiple buses? We’ll dispatch as many vehicles as your trip requires and help coordinate departures so everyone stays on schedule. Schools rely on us because we deliver quality service at a price point that makes sense—even when budgets are tight.
Long-distance Trips Made Easy
Planning an overnight field trip or out-of-state academic competition? A charter bus is the most efficient way to move large groups over long distances. Forget about booking multiple vans or dealing with caravan logistics—a single motorcoach can seat up to 56 passengers with room for luggage and equipment. Popular destinations like Sacramento, San Francisco, and Yosemite are all within a day’s drive from Santa Monica, and we’ll make sure your group arrives together and ready for action. For multi-day trips, ask about our sleeper buses and package deals that include driver accommodations.
