New Bedford Charter Bus Rentals For School Field Trips

Moving a class of students through downtown New Bedford on a busy school day is no small feat, but renting a New Bedford charter bus keeps the class together. The New Bedford Whaling Museum (18 Johnny Cake Hill, New Bedford, MA 02740) is one of the most visited educational destinations in all of southeastern Massachusetts, drawing school groups from across Bristol and Plymouth Counties every single year. School buses must use 63 Union Street for drop-off and pick-up, approach from Route 18 via Union Street, and avoid Bethel Street, North Water Street, Johnny Cake Hill, and the museum's main entrance.

During construction, the museum has no designated school-bus parking; parking may be available at the New Bedford Commuter Rail Station, 536 Acushnet Avenue, for $4 per day. Minibuses are another option for downtown New Bedford trips. Fill out one quick form to compare school field trip bus rentals and pricing from the network today!

Choosing a longer regional destination for your school group? Coachbusnewbedford.com makes long-distance field trip transportation from New Bedford just as easy as a local run. Plimoth Patuxet sits about 40 minutes north on Route 44, making it one of the most popular full-day history trips for New Bedford-area schools. Plimoth Patuxet is busiest in June, October, and November, so flexible trip dates can help when planning a New Bedford charter bus rental for those months.

For maritime-themed curriculum, the Mystic Seaport Museum (75 Greenmanville Ave, Mystic, CT 06355) is a stunning complement to New Bedford's own whaling heritage, roughly 90 minutes by charter bus. Buses unload at the cutaway along Rossie Pentway in the North Parking Lot, and bus parking is in the South Parking Lot. Full-size motorcoach options list amenities such as reclining seats, onboard restrooms, WiFi, and power outlets so students can settle in during the ride.
