A few of the companies Charter Bus Company Missoula has worked with
Field Trip Transportation You Can Count On
Charter Bus Company Missoula has years of experience providing field trip transportation for schools across Missoula County and beyond. We’ve worked with public and private K-12 schools, colleges, youth groups, and summer camps to organize trips of every size and distance. From shuttling elementary classes to the Missoula Butterfly House & Insectarium, to hauling marching bands and robotics teams to state competitions in Bozeman or Billings, we’ve done it all. No destination is too close or too far—if it matters to your students, we’ll get you there. Our 24/7 reservation team will help you plan routes, schedule pick-ups, and coordinate multiple buses if needed. We’ve handled complex itineraries with multiple stops, overnight travel, and tight turnaround times. When you choose Charter Bus Company Missoula, you’re getting a partner who understands what it takes to move students efficiently and professionally.
Punctual Service for Stress-free Scheduling
We know how important it is to stay on schedule during a school trip. Museums, theaters, and tour guides often run on strict timetables, and one late bus can throw off the whole day. With Charter Bus Company Missoula, punctuality is a given. Your driver will arrive early at the designated pick-up location—whether that’s the school parking lot, a local church, or the University of Montana campus—so you have time to load up and get everyone settled. We build extra time into the schedule for traffic, construction, or unexpected delays, especially when traveling on I-90, Highway 93, or over mountain passes like Evaro Hill and Lolo Pass. During the trip, our dispatch team monitors progress and communicates any updates. If you have multiple buses, they’ll depart in convoy to keep the group together. At the end of the day, you can count on getting back to Missoula on time, with parents waiting in the pickup lane and school administrators breathing easy.
Affordable Pricing for School Budgets
We know that budget is a major concern for any school trip, which is why Charter Bus Company Missoula offers some of the most competitive and transparent pricing in the industry. Our quotes are all-inclusive, meaning you won’t get hit with additional fees or surprise charges at the end of your trip. The cost of renting a bus depends on several factors including the size of the vehicle, the distance traveled, duration of the trip, and time of year. Local trips within Missoula city limits will naturally cost less than an overnight excursion to Seattle or Rapid City. We offer discounts for midweek travel and off-peak seasons, and we’re happy to work within grant allocations or PTA budgets. If you need multiple buses, we can bundle services for additional savings. While amenities like WiFi and DVD players come standard, premium features such as wraparound leather seats or custom paint may affect the rate. Rest assured, we’ll walk you through all the options to get you a solution that fits your funding without sacrificing quality or comfort. For the best rates, we recommend booking at least 4-6 weeks in advance, especially for trips during the busy spring and fall months.
Serving All of Western Montana and Beyond

We proudly serve Missoula and all surrounding areas including Lolo, Frenchtown, Bonner, East Missoula, and Target Range. Planning a trip out of town?
