Why Schools Choose Gainesville Minibus Company for Student Transportation
Since 2011, we’ve proudly served schools and youth groups across Gainesville, Alachua, Newberry, High Springs, Archer, Micanopy, Hawthorne, and Waldo with reliable, flexible, and affordable charter bus rentals. Our fleet includes everything from 18-passenger minibuses perfect for small club outings to 56-passenger motorcoaches ideal for moving entire grade levels or athletic teams. We regularly work with local districts like Alachua County Public Schools, private academies such as Oak Hall and St. Francis Catholic, charter schools, homeschool co-ops, afterschool programs, summer camps, and college organizations at UF and Santa Fe College. No matter your group’s size or destination, we’ll match you with a bus that fits your itinerary and budget.
Custom Packages for Every Kind of School Trip
Every school trip is different—and so is every charter bus rental we provide. Tell us your schedule, headcount, and must-have features, and we’ll build a custom package just for you. Need multiple pick-up points around Gainesville neighborhoods like Haile Plantation, Duckpond, or Eastside? Traveling overnight to Orlando, Tampa, or Atlanta? Staying local with stops at Depot Park, the Florida Museum of Natural History, and Kanapaha Botanical Gardens? We handle it all. You can even request specific amenities such as WiFi for students to complete assignments en route, power outlets for charging devices, DVD players with monitors for educational films, PA systems for chaperones to make announcements, and extra luggage space for band instruments or sports gear. If anyone in your group requires ADA-accessible seating, lifts, or handrails, just let us know—we’re happy to accommodate any special needs.
Comfortable Buses With Modern Amenities
Skip the old yellow school bus and upgrade your next field trip with a charter bus that keeps everyone comfortable and entertained. Our vehicles come equipped with cushioned seats that recline, individual reading lights, climate control to beat the Florida heat, overhead racks for backpacks, and spacious undercarriage bays for coolers or project materials. Onboard restrooms are available on larger coaches—perfect for reducing pit stops during long drives down I-75 or US-441. Students can stay connected with free WiFi, watch movies on flat-screen TVs, or simply relax and enjoy the ride through Gainesville’s scenic routes. Chaperones will appreciate having one secure, enclosed space to supervise kids instead of spreading them out over multiple cars.
Serving All Types of Educational Groups
We proudly serve public schools, private academies, charter programs, colleges, universities, religious youth groups, scouting troops, and more. Regular clients include Buchholz High, Eastside High, Gainesville High, P.K. Yonge, Oak Hall School, St. Francis Catholic Academy, Santa Fe College, and various UF departments. Whether you’re organizing a fifth-grade science trip to Paynes Prairie, a high school band competition in Jacksonville, a campus tour for prospective Gators, or a church youth retreat at Lake Swan Camp, we have the experience and resources to make your event a success.
And if you need something smaller or bigger? Try a 25-passenger minibus, a 35-passenger mid-size coach, or even multiple vehicles for very large groups. We also offer ADA-accessible buses with lifts and extra-wide aisles upon request.
Affordable Rates and Transparent Pricing
We know that schools and nonprofits operate on tight budgets—that’s why we offer some of the most competitive rates in the industry. When you call us for a quote, we’ll ask about your itinerary, group size, and any special requests, then provide an instant estimate with no hidden fees. Your price covers the bus, driver, mileage, tolls, and standard amenities; the only extras might be parking or lodging for overnight trips. Split the total among participants to make it even more affordable per person. And remember: renting one charter bus is often cheaper (and much easier) than reimbursing parents for gas or booking multiple vans from a rental car company.
