Stop Calling Company After Company for School Event Transportation Quotes
Finding group transportation for a school field trip in Minneapolis used to mean calling company after company, waiting on callbacks, and trying to compare quotes that never quite matched up.

Every Bus You Can Book for School Event Transportation
Cross a 15-passenger minibus off your wish list — or go bigger with a full 56-passenger charter bus rental with reclining seats, WiFi, power outlets, an onboard restroom, and undercarriage storage for backpacks, equipment, and gear. For mid-sized groups heading to Valleyfair in Shakopee, bus and motorcoach parking is free, while groups visiting the Bell Museum on the University of Minnesota campus can plan ahead: field trips must be booked at least four weeks in advance, and qualified schools can apply for bus-funding scholarships through the Bell Museum. A 25-passenger minibus hits the sweet spot perfectly for these mid-sized groups.
Need to transport students with mobility challenges? ADA-accessible charter bus rentals are available through the network too — just mention it when you request your quote.
