Evanston School Field Trip Bus Rentals

Evanston Minibus Company has been providing reliable bus rentals for schools and educators since 2011. We’ve worked with local school districts, private academies, and college organizations to arrange transportation for field trips, campus tours, sports games, and more. When you book with us, you’ll have access to a modern fleet of vehicles equipped with amenities like WiFi, power outlets, reclining seats, and onboard restrooms. We also offer flexible scheduling options to accommodate your itinerary and budget.

No matter where your travels take you, we can provide a charter bus rental to get you there! We’ve helped schools from all over Illinois organize field trips to destinations like the Art Institute of Chicago, Adler Planetarium, Brookfield Zoo, Lincoln Park Zoo, and more. Planning a multi-day trip? No problem! We can arrange long-distance transportation to cities like Springfield, Champaign-Urbana, Peoria, Rockford, Bloomington-Normal, Decatur, or even out-of-state destinations like Indianapolis, Milwaukee, Madison, St. Louis, Detroit, or Columbus.

No two field trips are exactly alike—and neither are our charter bus packages! We understand that each school has unique needs based on group size, destination, schedule, and budget constraints. That’s why we offer customizable rental options designed specifically for educators.

For small groups or short-distance outings within Evanston (like visiting local museums or parks), a minibus rental may be sufficient. These compact coaches typically seat between 18-35 passengers but still include many of the same features found in larger models. Larger classes traveling into downtown Chicago or other suburbs might require multiple full-size charter buses (47-56 seats each) running simultaneously. We can even coordinate staggered departure times if your itinerary calls for splitting up students by grade level or activity block.

If you’re organizing an overnight excursion—such as touring colleges across Illinois or attending statewide academic competitions—we’ll make sure your fleet is equipped for extended travel. This could mean extra luggage storage for suitcases and sleeping bags, onboard WiFi so high schoolers can work on assignments en route, or even premium amenities like leather seats and hardwood-style flooring upon request.

We believe that every student deserves access to quality educational experiences outside the classroom—which is why we strive to keep our prices competitive and affordable for schools across Evanston. Our transparent pricing structure means there are no hidden fees or surprise charges; what you see on your quote is exactly what you’ll pay.

To get an accurate estimate for your upcoming field trip, simply provide us with some basic information such as date(s), pick-up/drop-off locations, number of passengers, and any special requests regarding vehicle type or amenities. We’ll crunch the numbers and send over a detailed proposal tailored specifically to your needs. And if you happen to get you a lower rate elsewhere, let us know—we’ll do our best to match it while still delivering superior value and service.
