Private School Bus Service Melbourne

Schools across Melbourne trust Crown Coaches for safe and reliable school bus services. We were one of the first in Australia to introduce seat-belted buses, and safety continues to guide everything we do. Over 150 schools choose us for daily transport, excursions, and school charters.

We provide private school bus hire for kindergartens, early learning centres, primary and secondary schools, and universities. Our buses are clean, comfortable and accessible, with friendly drivers who understand the needs of students and staff.

School Bus Service for Daily Runs and Charters Across Melbourne

Our school bus service supports daily school runs and charter needs across Melbourne. We work closely with each school to provide transport that suits different group sizes and schedules.
Passenger safety is always a priority. Our experienced drivers receive training to handle varied road conditions, and all vehicles are fitted with seatbelts, air conditioning and modern safety features to ensure a safe and comfortable journey.

Crown Coaches also offers a mobile app, CMS Mobile Public, available on iOS and Android. It allows new and current customers to:

  • Create an account using their email
    Request and accept quotes
  • View charter and school bus information, including live driver and vehicle location
  • Register parents or guardians securely
  • Let parents track where the bus is and check their child’s status
  • Access past school run details

This makes planning and monitoring school travel easier for schools and families alike.

School Bus Service for Camps

Our school bus service helps schools in Melbourne and regional Victoria get students to and from camp safely and on time.

We regularly travel to popular camp locations such as Camp Rumbug in South Gippsland, Camp Manyung in Mount Eliza and the Adventure Resort on Phillip Island.

Coaches include generous luggage space, with optional trailers available when extra room is needed. This is especially helpful when students bring their own bags along with school equipment.

For camps with an educational focus, we can also provide coach tours with commentary through our on-board public address systems, adding value to the journey.
