Browse Party Buses, Minibuses, and Charter Buses for School Event Transportation
Hit the road with the right bus for your group, whatever the headcount! A compact 15- to 35-passenger minibus is a great pick for smaller classes heading to the Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden in Claremont or the Graber Olive House right here in Ontario, where a full-size motorcoach would be overkill. For larger classes making the run to the California Science Center or the Los Angeles Zoo, a 56-passenger charter bus keeps every student and chaperone together in one vehicle, with overhead storage, climate control, and reclining seats for the ride.

The westbound I-10 from Ontario runs about 40 miles, so plan for 30 to 45 extra minutes during the 7–9 AM peak window.

It depends on your headcount. A 15- to 35-passenger minibus works well for smaller classes heading to local destinations like the Planes of Fame Air Museum in Chino or the Ontario Museum of History & Art. For a full class of 40 to 56 students and chaperones making the run to the California Science Center, Natural History Museum, or Aquarium of the Pacific, a 56-passenger charter bus keeps everyone together in one vehicle with overhead storage and reclining seats.
Compare both options side by side through Ontariocharterbuscompany.com!
Book as early as possible — ideally two to four months out for spring field trips, which is the busiest time of year. May and June are the heaviest field trip months across the Ontario-Montclair School District and Chaffey Joint Union High School District, and buses fill up fast. Fall field trips in September and October also see high demand, especially during LA County Fair season at Fairplex in Pomona.
The earlier you compare and book, the better your vehicle selection and pricing.
Yes, at many of the most popular destinations. The Getty Center requires an advance bus parking reservation through its group visit page for groups of 15 or more. The Toy Story Parking Area is the only lot at Disneyland that accepts buses.
The San Diego Zoo Safari Park charges $55 per day for oversized-vehicle parking. The California Science Center asks charter buses to arrange parking in advance by calling the venue directly at (213) 744-2019. Always confirm bus parking details with your destination before the trip, and note any itinerary guidance from Ontariocharterbuscompany.com.
Yes! ADA-accessible buses with wheelchair lifts and wider aisle configurations are available through the network of transportation companies serving Ontario. Just mention your accessibility needs when you fill out the quote form or when you call 840-237-2990, and the team will match you with providers that have the right vehicle.
It's always a good idea to confirm accessibility details directly when you review your options on the booking platform.
Significantly. The westbound I-10 from Ontario to Exposition Park or downtown Los Angeles is about 40 miles, but during the 7–9 AM peak window, that run can take 30 to 45 minutes longer than off-peak. SR-60 westbound is an alternate route but also congests during morning hours.
For field trips with a set arrival time, plan your departure from Ontario accordingly and build in a buffer. A charter bus keeps your whole group on one schedule instead of splitting across multiple cars stuck in the same traffic.
