Easy Campus Shuttle Bus Rentals for Colleges and Universities
York Charter Bus makes it simple to run campus shuttles and special-event transportation for colleges and universities across Central Pennsylvania.

Hosting a large event like orientation, graduation, or a guest lecture series? We’ll move attendees quickly between venues on a schedule you control. Our fleet includes both minibuses (perfect for tight campuses and frequent stops) and full-size charter buses (ideal for moving big crowds or running express service from park-and-ride locations), so you can mix and match vehicles to get the right capacity at the right price.
We’ve worked with regional institutions including Penn State York, York College of Pennsylvania, Harrisburg Area Community College (York Campus), Messiah University, Elizabethtown College, Millersville University, and Franklin ∓ Marshall College—handling everything from daily shuttles to special events—so we understand the unique challenges of campus transportation. And because every contract is fully customized, you get exactly the service you need without paying for extras you don’t.

Charter Buses for School Trips to Gettysburg, Harrisburg, Philadelphia ∓ More
Planning a long-distance field trip? Make the journey part of the experience with a comfortable, modern charter bus from York Charter Bus. We regularly handle school trips to major destinations across the region, including Gettysburg National Military Park, the U.S. Army Heritage and Education Center in Carlisle, state government sites in Harrisburg, and world-class museums in Philadelphia like the Franklin Institute and the National Constitution Center. A charter bus keeps everyone together on a single vehicle, simplifies headcounts at rest stops, and allows you to stick to a tight itinerary without worrying about missed connections.
For multi-day trips, you can use the same bus for local transportation once you arrive—shuttling between hotels, restaurants, and attraction entrances without relying on public transit or splitting up into small groups. With luggage storage under the cabin and room for backpacks in overhead bins, there’s plenty of space for everyone’s gear. Teachers and chaperones will appreciate having a central meeting place on the road, while students stay entertained with movies, games, and Wi-Fi access.

Rent a Bus for Academic Competitions, Band Trips, and Athletic Travel
School events don’t stop at the classroom—and neither does our transportation.

Coaches love our full-size charter buses because they include underfloor storage bays for duffel bags and coolers, plus reclining seats and optional video screens for reviewing game film. For smaller squads or budget-conscious programs, our minibuses offer the same comfortable ride in a compact package.
We’ve built long-term relationships with schools across York County and beyond by delivering great service at competitive rates. Whether you’re traveling across town or out of state, you’ll have a dedicated account manager to help plan your trip, a driver who knows the schedule, and a vehicle that meets the highest standards of comfort and reliability.
