Are Your Drivers Working With Children Checked?

Yes. Every Sydney Coach Charter driver holds a current NSW Working With Children Check, which is a legal requirement for anyone transporting students and a core part of how we look after school groups.

Alongside this clearance, our drivers are fully licensed and experienced with school groups, and every vehicle in the fleet is fitted with seatbelts. As an accredited operator we are regularly audited on safety, vehicle maintenance and driver compliance.

Which Bus Size Do I Need for a School Group?

The right vehicle depends on your class or year-group size, from a 14-seat minibus for a small group to a 57-seat coach for a full year group.

14

Seat Minibus
A small class, committee or specialist group.

24

Seat Minibus
A single class.

37-48

Seat Coach
Two classes or a sporting squad.

57

Seat Coach
A full year-group excursion.
For a group of 35 to 48 students, including teachers and helpers, the 48-seat coach is usually the best fit. Tell us your numbers and we will recommend the right vehicle, including whether a larger coach or more than one vehicle is better suited to your group.

Hi Joan,

Just a big thank you for our booking for Ipswich Girl’s Grammar school.  I have had an email from them and she has told me you are the best coach company she has ever dealt with.  A great comment.  Always prompt and accommodating.  It helps make our job a little easier knowing a part of it is in good hands.

Again many thanks
