Charter Bus Rentals for College Tours
If your high school guidance department or AVID program is organizing a campus visit, renting a private bus keeps every prospective student together and on schedule! When touring the University of Wisconsin–Madison, your driver can navigate the busy campus corridors along University Avenue and Park Street to drop your group off right at the Chazen Museum of Art bus zone or outside Union South on West Dayton Street, then stage in reserved oversized vehicle stalls at Lot 60 or Lot 76 near the Kohl Center. You can also build a custom multi-stop or multi-day package that takes seniors across the city to Edgewood College on Monroe Street and Madison Area Technical College near Anderson Street, or out on I-94 East to tour campuses in Milwaukee and Whitewater. Fill out one quick form to compare minibuses and charter buses with WiFi and power outlets in under 30 seconds, so students can work on college applications right from their seats!

Where can our charter bus drop off and park at popular Madison field trip destinations?
Madison is very motorcoach-friendly when you know the designated zones! For a Capitol Square and Madison Children’s Museum trip, buses unload at North Hamilton Street and park along East Wilson Street or near Law Park on John Nolen Drive. At Olbrich Botanical Gardens, buses drop students off right at the 3330 Atwood Avenue main entrance and park free in the oversized spaces on site!
Can we request seatbelts, WiFi, or ADA-accessible buses for our students?
Yes, absolutely! Through our network of independent Madison bus providers, you can filter and request modern 56-passenger motorcoaches and minibuses equipped with three-point seatbelts, onboard restrooms, climate control, PA systems for chaperone announcements, TV monitors, and WiFi. We can also connect your school with ADA-accessible charter buses featuring wheelchair lifts, wider aisles, and secure tie-down spaces. Just mention your school district’s specific requirements when you call (608) 514-9970, and our confirmation department will verify every detail before departure!
When should we book our school trip bus in Madison?
While we offer same-day and last-minute bus rentals thanks to our massive statewide network, we recommend locking in your school bus rental at least one to three months in advance for spring trips. Late April, May, and early June are peak seasons in Madison due to end-of-year field trips to Wisconsin Dells, high school proms, and UW–Madison commencement weekend. Booking early gives your school the widest selection of buses and the best competitive rates!
