Charter Bus Rentals for School Trips in Fort Smith

When you book with Fort Smith Shuttle Bus Company, you’re working with a company that has experience handling trips for every type of school, college, and university group—including the University of Arkansas – Fort Smith, Arkansas Tech University – Ozark Campus, UAFS Lions athletic teams, and local high schools like Northside and Southside. We’ve helped elementary schools reserve buses for field trips to the Janet Huckabee Arkansas River Valley Nature Center; organized multi-bus shuttles for campus tours and orientation events; and provided affordable transportation for band competitions, athletic travel, Greek life formals, and study abroad airport transfers.

We operate 365 days a year so you can always reach us before, during, or after your trip. And because we have one of the largest and most versatile fleets in the region, it’s easy to find exactly the right vehicle at a price that fits your budget.

When you reserve a school field trip charter bus through Fort Smith Shuttle Bus Company, you never have to worry about keeping everyone together and on time. Gone are the days of splitting up into multiple cars, volunteers missing an exit, or someone not finding a parking spot. Instead, a reliable driver will be your DD for the entire trip, handling all the navigation, traffic, and parking logistics according to your custom itinerary and schedule. Everyone arrives together, steps off the bus at the same time, and stays on track for even the busiest academic trip plans!

Academic trips come in all shapes and sizes—which is why we make it easy to rent a charter bus or minibus that’s tailored to your specific headcount and event details. Large groups such as marching bands and senior class day trips can ride comfortably in a 56-passenger charter bus, which offers plenty of storage space under the bus and overhead for instruments, coolers, and backpacks. Smaller groups like debate teams, club outings, or faculty committees may prefer a compact minibus that seats 18–25 passengers but still includes cushioned seats, air conditioning, and optional Wi-Fi. Either way, you’ll have a private vehicle that sticks to your schedule—not the other way around.

Common school events we serve include:

• Field trips to museums, historic sites, and science centers
• Campus tours for prospective students
• Shuttles between satellite campuses and main buildings
• Transportation to academic competitions and conferences
• Senior class trips and graduation rehearsals
• Band, choir, and theater group travel
• Faculty retreats and professional development workshops
