Why Book a School Trip Bus With Washington Coach Bus Service?
When you rent a charter bus from us, you get more than just a ride—you get a company committed to making your field trip run smoothly from start to finish. We offer flexible scheduling, so you can set your own pickup and drop-off times anywhere in the DC metro area. Want to leave early from Fairfax County to beat rush hour traffic on I-66, or schedule multiple stops across Prince George’s County? No problem. Need to keep your students together after touring the U.S. Capitol or Arlington National Cemetery? Skip the hassle of navigating Metro transfers or coordinating parent carpools. Your bus will stay with your group as long as you need it, providing door-to-door service between every destination.
Buses for Every Type of Group
We know that no two field trips are exactly alike, which is why we offer so many different types of buses. For large groups traveling long distances—like eighth-grade classes visiting Colonial Williamsburg or marching bands performing at the Cherry Blossom Festival—a 56-passenger charter bus is the most comfortable and convenient option. These full-size coaches come equipped with reclining seats, climate control, overhead parcel racks, undercarriage storage bays for coolers or instrument cases, and onboard restrooms to minimize unscheduled pit stops on the New Jersey Turnpike or I-95 South.
Smaller groups will appreciate the versatility of our minibuses, which can seat anywhere from 15 to 35 passengers depending on the model. Minibuses are perfect for shuttling STEM clubs between Georgetown University and the National Air and Space Museum’s Udvar-Hazy Center in Chantilly, or transporting elementary classes from Alexandria to the Tidal Basin for paddle boating and picnics. Despite their compact size, minibuses still offer cushioned seats, PA systems for chaperone announcements, and optional amenities like WiFi and power outlets for charging tablets or streaming educational videos during transit.
Field Trip Transportation to Museums, Zoos, and More
Washington, DC is home to some of the best museums and cultural institutions in the country—and we can help you visit them all! Take your students to the National Air and Space Museum to see the Wright brothers’ plane and Apollo 11 command module, or explore ancient artifacts at the National Museum of Natural History. Art teachers will love a trip to the National Gallery of Art, while science classes can learn about ecosystems at the Smithsonian’s National Zoo. If you’re planning a trip outside the city, we can take you to destinations like Mount Vernon, Annapolis, Baltimore’s Inner Harbor, or even Philadelphia’s Independence Hall. Wherever your field trip takes you, we’ll make sure your group gets there comfortably and on time.
Custom Itineraries for Any School Group
No two field trips are exactly alike—which is why we offer custom transportation packages tailored to your specific needs. Whether you’re taking a fourth-grade class to the Lincoln Memorial or escorting high school seniors on a college tour of Georgetown, Howard, and American University, we’ll work with you to create an itinerary that fits your schedule and budget. Need to make multiple stops in one day? Want to add a dinner reservation in Chinatown or a photo op at the Tidal Basin? Just let us know what you have in mind, and we’ll handle the logistics.
Comfortable Amenities for Students and Teachers
Long bus rides are easier when you have the right amenities. Our charter buses come equipped with features like reclining seats, climate control, overhead storage, and onboard restrooms—perfect for keeping everyone comfortable during the trip. Stay entertained with flat-screen TVs and DVD players, or use the free WiFi to stream videos, play games, or catch up on homework. Power outlets and USB ports are available for charging devices, while PA systems allow chaperones to make announcements or share interesting facts about the sights along the way. If you have any special requests, just ask!
Affordable Rates and Transparent Pricing
We know that school budgets are tight, which is why we offer competitive rates and transparent pricing on all our bus rentals. When you request a quote from Washington Coach Bus Service, you’ll get an instant estimate based on your itinerary, group size, and desired amenities. There are no hidden fees or surprise charges—just one flat rate that covers everything from fuel to tolls to parking permits. Splitting the cost among students or fundraising through the PTA?
