A Fleet Built for Education
Our fleet includes buses of every size and style, so you can find the perfect fit for your group. Need to move a whole grade level? Book a 56-passenger charter bus with reclining seats, onboard restrooms, and plenty of storage space for backpacks and coolers. Taking a small club or honors class on a special outing? A 20- to 35-passenger minibus offers comfort and convenience without excess capacity. All vehicles come equipped with climate control, comfortable seating, and optional amenities like WiFi, power outlets, and DVD players for educational videos or entertainment during longer rides.

Field Trips Made Easy
Carlsbad is full of amazing destinations for student groups, and we can help you reach them all! Plan a science outing to the Agua Hedionda Lagoon Discovery Center, where kids can learn about local ecosystems and wildlife conservation. Organize a history tour of Leo Carrillo Ranch Historic Park, featuring adobe buildings and artifacts from early California ranch life. For hands-on STEM education, schedule a visit to the Museum of Making Music or take older students down to UC San Diego’s Birch Aquarium in La Jolla. Wherever your curriculum leads, we’ll get you there safely and on time.

Sports Team Transportation
In addition to academic trips, we also provide transportation for school sports teams across North County and beyond. Coaches love having a private bus to carry athletes, equipment, and snacks to away games against rivals like La Costa Canyon High School or Torrey Pines High School. Charter buses offer ample luggage bays for gear bags, ice chests, and training supplies, while players relax inside with cushioned seats and climate control. After the final whistle, everyone can ride back together—win or lose—without worrying about carpools or parent drivers.

Campus Shuttles and College Tours
High school counselors know how important it is for students to visit colleges before applying. Let us handle transportation for your next round of campus tours! We regularly drive groups to California State University San Marcos, MiraCosta College, Palomar College, and even farther afield to UC Irvine or UCLA. A charter bus keeps everyone together on a tight schedule, eliminates parking hassles, and gives prospective applicants a taste of independent travel.

Custom Packages for Every Budget
We understand that schools operate under strict budget constraints. That’s why we offer customizable packages to suit your financial needs. Choose the exact size and type of bus required, select only the amenities you’ll use, and set departure times that align with bell schedules. By consolidating transportation into fewer vehicles and optimizing routes, we help districts save money without sacrificing quality or reliability.
