Types of Buses We Offer for School Transportation in Savannah
Why Trust Charter Bus Savannah With Your Savannah Field Trip Transportation?
Comfort is the absolute priority for every school district we serve in Chatham County. Drivers arrive 15 minutes prior to departure to assist with loading lunches and equipment, keeping your itinerary on schedule. Whether you are transporting a small gifted-and-talented cohort or an entire grade level from Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools (SCCPSS), our 24/7 reservation team provides transparent pricing and dedicated support for every academic mile.
Bus Options Perfect for Any School Transportation Need in Savannah
No two educational trips are one-size-fits-all—which means your Savannah itinerary requires a specific vehicle match. Charter Bus Savannah specializes in custom shuttle plans for all school sizes. Rent a full-size charter bus for long-distance trips to Atlanta or Orlando; our 56-passenger motorcoaches feature onboard restrooms, undercarriage luggage bays for overnight bags, and TVs with DVD players to keep students entertained. For local transfers between historic sites, a 35-passenger minibus offers greater maneuverability for narrow streets like Jones Street or around Chippewa Square while providing WiFi and reclining seats. If you need an ADA-compliant coach with a wheelchair lift, let us know 48 hours in advance, and we will find the perfect ride with wide aisles and secure mobility device tie-downs at no extra charge.
Explore Savannah’s Historic District with Reliable Bus Logistics
Navigating the nation's largest National Historic Landmark District requires a driver who knows Savannah’s unique grid and square system. For a field trip to the Andrew Low House (329 Abercorn St, Savannah, GA 31401) or the Juliette Gordon Low Birthplace (10 E Oglethorpe Ave, Savannah, GA 31401), your bus driver will drop off students at the designated loading zones to avoid blocking traffic on Abercorn Street. Because motorcoaches are restricted on many residential streets within the historic core, drivers use approved thoroughfares like Bay Street and Liberty Street. For tours of the Savannah History Museum (303 Martin Luther King Jr Blvd, Savannah, GA 31401), buses unload at the Savannah Visitor Center's dedicated bus portal. Your driver then parks at the city’s oversized vehicle lot on W. Boundary Street while your students explore the Battlefield Memorial Park.
Science and Nature Tours at Oatland Island & Skidaway
Biology and ecology classes rely on Charter Bus Savannah for seamless transportation to Savannah’s premier nature centers. For a field trip to Oatland Island Wildlife Center (711 Sandtown Rd, Savannah, GA 31410), your driver will navigate Islands Expressway (Hwy 80) and pull directly into the paved bus loop near the Welcome Center. This allows students to unload safely away from the main road before beginning the 2-mile "Wolf Loop" trail. If your curriculum takes you to Skidaway Island State Park (52 Diamond Causeway, Savannah, GA 31411), buses must enter via the main gate on Diamond Causeway. Drivers park in the oversized spaces near the Interpretive Center, giving classes easy access to the Sandpiper Trail and the giant ground sloth exhibit. With undercarriage storage, students can bring along soil sampling kits, binoculars, and coolers without cluttering the cabin.
Savannah College Tours and Academic Shuttles
Prospective students exploring higher education in the Coastal Empire need punctual, professional transportation. Charter Bus Savannah provides campus tour shuttles for high school seniors visiting the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) (516 Abercorn St, Savannah, GA 31401) or Georgia Southern University’s Armstrong Campus (11935 Abercorn St, Savannah, GA 31419). For SCAD tours, your driver will coordinate drop-offs near Poetter Hall, navigating the high-pedestrian traffic around Madison Square. For visits to Savannah State University (3219 College St, Savannah, GA 31404), buses enter via the LaRoche Avenue gate. Drivers utilize the Convocation Center parking lot (Lot G) which accommodates full-sized motorcoaches. On-campus WiFi allows students to research programs or complete applications between campus stops, maximizing their travel time during the recruitment process.
Sports Team Travel for Coastal Empire Athletics
Athletes and coaches count on Charter Bus Savannah for game-day transportation that handles the heavy lifting. Whether you are heading to a regional tournament at the Jennifer Ross Soccer Complex (7221 Sallie Mood Dr, Savannah, GA 31406) or a swim meet at the Chatham County Aquatic Center, our buses provide the space needed for bulky gear. Full-size motorcoaches offer massive undercarriage bays for soccer nets, pads, and coolers, while climate control ensures players arrive refreshed. For football games at Memorial Stadium (101 John J. Scott Dr, Savannah, GA 31406), drivers enter via the Sallie Mood Drive entrance and park in the designated team bus zone near the field house. Fan groups heading to Grayson Stadium (1401 E Victory Dr, Savannah, GA 31404) to cheer on local teams can avoid the parking chaos on Victory Drive with curbside drop-off at the main gate.
Tybee Island Marine Science Center Outings
Field trips to the coast are a staple of the Savannah school year, and the drivers are good at the Hwy 80 route to Tybee Island. For a day at the Tybee Island Marine Science Center (37 Meddin Dr, Tybee Island, GA 31328), your driver will bypass the congested North Beach parking lots and head directly to the designated bus unloading zone on Meddin Drive. This is adjacent to the Jaycee Park area where buses stage. With a private charter bus, students can change into gear in the onboard restroom and keep their dry clothes safely stored in overhead bins. After exploring the marshes and dunes, your group can re-board the air-conditioned cabin to escape the Georgia sun, ensuring the 30-minute ride back to Savannah is comfortable and quiet.

Frequently Asked Questions About Savannah School Transportation
Are there specific bus parking rules for the Savannah Historic District?
Yes, Savannah enforces strict motorcoach ordinances. Buses cannot park on the squares or in residential zones. Drivers must use the oversized vehicle lot at the Savannah Visitor Center (301 Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd) or the W. Boundary Street lot. Loading and unloading are permitted only at designated white-curb zones at major attractions.
Do your Savannah charter buses have seatbelts?
Many models in our fleet are equipped with three-point lap-and-shoulder seatbelts. If this is a requirement for your school district, please specify this during your initial call to 843-507-8460 so we can pair you with the appropriate vehicle.
Can we book multiple buses for a large grade-level field trip?
Absolutely. We can build a custom fleet of 56-passenger motorcoaches to transport hundreds of students simultaneously. We coordinate the convoy to ensure all buses arrive at the destination, such as Old Fort Jackson or the Mighty Eighth Air Force Museum, at the same time.
Is food allowed on the bus during field trips?
Most buses allow students to eat sack lunches or snacks onboard. We simply ask that your group remove all trash to avoid potential cleaning fees. Drivers can provide trash bags upon request to help keep the cabin clean for the duration of your trip.
We’re available everyday from 7am to midnight!
