If you’ve ever taken a yellow school bus on a long-distance trip, you know how uncomfortable it can get after a few hours. Upgrade your next out-of-town excursion with a private charter bus rental that’s built for comfort! Our fleet includes late-model coaches with forward-facing seats, individual headrests, adjustable footrests, and plenty of legroom for tall passengers. You’ll also appreciate the overhead parcel racks for backpacks, underfloor luggage bays for suitcases, and optional onboard restrooms to reduce unnecessary pit stops. Bring your own snacks and drinks to enjoy at your seat, or request a vehicle with Wi-Fi and video screens to keep students entertained with movies and games during the ride. With everyone riding together in one vehicle, it’s easy to supervise behavior, make announcements over the PA system, and stick to a tight schedule without waiting for stragglers.

In addition to academic trips, Wilmington Coach Bus Service also provides shuttle services for campus events, Greek life functions, and student organization outings. Hosting a fundraiser, formal, or social event off-campus? Keep everyone safe and organized by renting a minibus or sprinter van to run continuous loops between the venue and designated pickup points. Larger events like homecoming dances, step shows, and block parties can be served by full-size charter buses operating on a fixed schedule throughout the evening. We’ve worked with fraternities, sororities, and clubs at UNCW and CFCC to coordinate transportation to downtown bars, banquet halls, and beach houses on Wrightsville and Carolina Beach. By consolidating riders into shared vehicles, you’ll reduce traffic congestion, minimize parking headaches, and ensure that no one has to drive themselves after a long night.
