Why Book With Evanston Coach Bus Service?
We’ve been helping schools travel since 2011, and we know exactly what it takes to make your trip run smoothly. When you book with us, you get access to one of the largest fleets in Illinois—including minibuses, full-size charter buses, ADA-accessible vehicles, and more. We can accommodate groups of any size, from a single class to an entire grade level. And because we’re a local company, we understand the unique needs of Evanston schools and can provide personalized service every step of the way.
Our team will work with you to plan a custom itinerary that fits your schedule and budget. Need to make multiple stops? No problem. Traveling during rush hour? We’ll find the best route. Have students with special needs? We’ll make sure they’re comfortable and safe. Whatever you need, we’re here to help.
Comfortable and Modern Buses for Any Group Size
We offer a wide range of bus sizes and models to accommodate groups of all sizes. For small groups, our 18- to 25-passenger minibuses are perfect for short trips around Evanston or shuttling between campuses. Larger groups can ride comfortably in a 40- to 56-passenger charter bus, which comes equipped with reclining seats, climate control, overhead storage, and undercarriage luggage bays.
If you’re planning a long-distance trip, your students will appreciate the onboard amenities like free WiFi, power outlets, TV monitors, and DVD players. They can watch movies, play games, or catch up on homework while you relax and enjoy the ride. And if you need an ADA-accessible bus, just let us know—we can provide a vehicle with a wheelchair lift, priority seating, and extra space for mobility devices.
Affordable Pricing and Transparent Quotes
We know that school budgets are tight, which is why we offer some of the most competitive rates in the industry. When you request a quote from us, you’ll get an instant price estimate based on your trip details—no hidden fees or surprise charges. Our pricing is all-inclusive, so you’ll know exactly what you’re paying for upfront.
To get the best rate, try to book your bus at least 3 months in advance, especially if you’re traveling during peak season (April–June or September–November). But don’t worry if you’re planning last minute—we can usually find you a bus even on short notice.
Field Trips to Chicago Museums, Zoos, and More
Evanston is just a short drive from some of the best educational attractions in the state, and we can take you to all of them! Plan a field trip to the Museum of Science and Industry, Shedd Aquarium, Field Museum, or Adler Planetarium and let your students explore hands-on exhibits and learn about science, history, and culture. Or visit Lincoln Park Zoo, Brookfield Zoo, or Chicago Botanic Garden for a day of outdoor fun and animal encounters.
If you’re looking for something closer to home, consider a trip to the Mitchell Museum of the American Indian, Evanston Art Center, or Grosse Point Lighthouse. We can also take you to Skokie Northshore Sculpture Park, Emily Oaks Nature Center, or Wagner Farm for interactive programs and nature walks.
Sports Team Transportation Made Easy
In addition to field trips, we also provide transportation for school sports teams, bands, and academic clubs. Whether you’re heading to a football game at Lazier Field, a basketball tournament in Glenview, or a debate competition in downtown Chicago, we’ll get your group there on time and ready to win. Store all your equipment, instruments, or props in the spacious luggage bays, and use the ride to review plays, rehearse routines, or bond with teammates.
For away games and competitions, a charter bus is the most convenient and cost-effective way to travel. You won’t have to worry about carpooling, parking, or getting lost—and everyone will arrive together and on schedule. Plus, your students will appreciate the chance to relax and socialize after a long day of competing.
Private Shuttles for Daily Commuting
If your school is dealing with construction, limited parking, or split campuses, consider setting up a private shuttle service to transport students and staff between locations. We can provide a dedicated bus that runs on a fixed schedule, making it easy for everyone to get to class on time. This is especially useful for schools in District 65 and District 202 that share facilities or have off-site programs.
A private shuttle is also a great option for after-school activities, late-night events, or emergency evacuations. You’ll have peace of mind knowing that everyone has a safe and reliable way to get home.
