Why Schools and Colleges Choose San Mateo Minibus Company
San Mateo schools, colleges, and youth organizations trust San Mateo Minibus Company because we make it easy to move students anywhere they need to go—on time, on budget, and on your schedule. We offer one of the largest fleets in Northern California, ranging from 15-passenger minibuses to 56-passenger motorcoaches and everything in between. That means we can handle groups of any size, whether you’re taking a single class to CuriOdyssey or sending the whole band to perform at Disneyland. Need to transport athletes with bulky gear? We’ve got luggage bays and overhead racks. Planning an overnight trip? Ask for a bus with reclining seats, WiFi, power outlets, and DVD monitors so kids can watch movies en route. Whatever your itinerary requires, we’ll match you with a vehicle that gets the job done.
And if you have questions before booking (or after), our customer support team is available 24/7/365. We’ve been helping educators arrange charter buses since 2011, so there’s no scenario we haven’t seen—and solved.
Comfortable Field Trip Buses for Every Destination
Tired of squeezing three classes onto yellow school buses with no A/C? Upgrade your next field trip by renting a charter bus instead! Students will love riding in plush, high-back seats with individual reading lights and armrests. Chaperones will appreciate having climate control, PA systems for announcements, and onboard restrooms for longer journeys. And everyone benefits from getting to the destination refreshed and ready to learn.
Popular spots like CuriOdyssey, Sawyer Camp Trail, The Peninsula Museum of Art, Japanese Tea Garden, and Pulgas Water Temple are all easily accessible with a private bus rental. Heading into San Francisco to visit the Exploratorium, California Academy of Sciences, or de Young Museum? Your driver will drop off right at the entrance and handle city traffic while you explore. We also serve destinations further afield such as the Monterey Bay Aquarium, Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum in San Jose, Cantor Arts Center at Stanford, Oakland Zoo, and Lawrence Hall of Science in Berkeley. Wherever your lesson plan takes you, we’ll get you there.
Athletic Transportation Made Simple
Coaches know that getting the team to the game is half the battle. Make sure your athletes arrive together and ready to compete by booking a charter bus for away games, tournaments, or training camps. Unlike carpooling, which can lead to late arrivals and lost players, traveling as a group keeps everyone on the same timetable. Plus, there’s room underneath the bus for coolers, duffel bags, and equipment cases—no need to cram lacrosse sticks or soccer balls into back seats.
We provide sports team transportation to venues across the region, including College of San Mateo, Hillsdale High School, Aragon High School, San Mateo High School, Burlingame High School, and Bay Meadows Park. Whether your schedule includes regular-season matchups or championship playoffs, we’ll customize the reservation to fit your roster size and calendar.
Campus Shuttles and College Tours Done Right
San Mateo Minibus Company helps colleges and universities manage daily operations with custom shuttle services tailored to each campus’s unique layout. Connect remote parking lots to main buildings, run loops between satellite locations, or offer late-night rides for students studying after hours. Administrators can set the timetable, choose pickup points, and request specific amenities like WiFi for commuters catching up on assignments during the ride.
If you’re organizing a prospective student tour of multiple schools—such as UC Berkeley, Stanford University, San Jose State, Santa Clara University, or Cal State East Bay—a charter bus keeps the group together as you visit each admissions office. Out-of-state trips to UCLA, UC Davis, or Sacramento State are also possible with our comfortable fleet built for highway travel.
Custom Packages for Overnight and Out-of-state Trips
Planning something bigger than a day trip? We regularly assist with multi-day excursions to places like Yosemite National Park, Sacramento’s Capitol Museum, or even Disneyland down in Anaheim. For overnight trips, your charter bus can stay with the group the entire time, providing secure storage for luggage and a familiar meeting point in unfamiliar cities. Rest assured knowing that once the event wraps up, your ride home is waiting just outside.
Out-of-state adventures—whether it’s a band competition in Reno or a robotics tournament in Portland—are no problem either. Charter buses are built for long distances, with features like reclining seats and entertainment systems making hours on the road fly by. Simply share your agenda when booking, and we’ll map out the most efficient route across state lines.
