Private Field Trip Transportation You Control
When you book a bus with Charter Bus Company Downers Grove, you’re getting a private ride that runs on your schedule—not the CTA, not Metra, and definitely not a pre-set district route. That means no missed connections or lost students. Heading to the Morton Arboretum, the Brookfield Zoo, or the Museum of Science and Industry? Your driver will take the fastest route from your school to the front entrance. Need to leave Shedd Aquarium early or stay late at the Art Institute? Just say the word. With a private charter, every pickup, drop-off, and rest stop is planned around your itinerary. It’s the easiest way to keep everyone together and on time in Downers Grove, Chicago, or anywhere your trip takes you.

A few of the companies Charter Bus Company Downers Grove has worked with





Comfortable Buses With Room for Everyone
Forget the old days of bouncing down I-355 on a yellow school bus. We can do them or any other type of bus! Our fleet includes the newest and most comfortable buses in the region, with options for groups of any size. Smaller groups can ride in a 20- to 35-passenger minibus, perfect for outings to places like the Morton Arboretum or the Brookfield Zoo. Larger groups will appreciate our 56-passenger full-size coach, ideal for longer trips into Chicago or multi-class excursions. Need something even bigger? We can send multiple buses or a custom package to accommodate everyone.
Each vehicle offers forward-facing seats with plush upholstery and optional headrests, armrests, and reclining backs. There’s plenty of overhead storage for backpacks and jackets, plus luggage bays below for coolers, project materials, or band instruments. Best of all, every seat stays the same temperature thanks to powerful climate control that keeps the cabin warm in winter and cool during spring and fall.
Onboard Amenities to Make the Ride Easy
Traffic on I-88 or I-355 won’t bother students when the bus comes with flat-screen monitors, DVD players, and a sound system for movies or announcements. Bring a favorite educational video, cue up a recent performance, or let kids relax with a G-rated film. Optional Wi-Fi packages allow streaming of approved content, access to Google Classroom, or quick games on tablets and Chromebooks. USB ports and 110V outlets keep devices charged for the entire trip.
For longer rides—like visiting Springfield or the Field Museum—choose a bus with a clean, onboard restroom. This reduces unscheduled stops and helps everyone arrive on time. Comfortable seating, entertainment options, and connectivity make the journey part of the day’s adventure.
Easy Group Travel Across Downers Grove and Beyond
It’s simple to split a fleet of 28+ passenger minibuses between classes for a trip to the Downers Grove Museum, or book a 56-passenger motorcoach for your grade’s science outing to Fullersburg Woods Nature Education Center. We also serve nearby towns like Westmont, Woodridge, Lisle, and Darien, so you can plan trips across the entire region with ease. Planning a longer trip to Springfield or Peoria? We’ll get you there comfortably.
Every bus comes with climate control to keep students comfortable year-round—no more sweating through spring assemblies or freezing on winter choir trips. Need to bring lunch coolers, art projects, or band instruments? There’s plenty of storage under the bus for large items, and smaller bags can ride overhead.
Budget-friendly Field Trip Bus Rentals
We know that cost matters when planning a school outing. That’s why we offer some of the most competitive rates on field trip bus rentals in Downers Grove and DuPage County. When you request a quote, we’ll factor in the size of your group, the distance to your destination, and any special requests to give you a fair, all-inclusive price. There are no additional fees—just one straightforward rate that covers the bus, driver, fuel, tolls, and standard amenities. Many schools find that sharing the cost across participants makes a charter bus surprisingly affordable, especially compared to other modes of group travel.
