School Event Transportation From a Network of Independent Bus Companies
You're never limited to whatever one company happens to have available on a given date! Clearwatercharterbuscompany.com is not a local bus company — it's a quote-comparison website that brings together a large network of independently owned transportation companies serving Clearwater and the surrounding Pinellas County area. That means you get choices: different bus sizes, different amenities, and different price points, all in one place. Instead of settling for the only bus a single operator has left on a busy spring field trip weekend, you can compare options side by side and find the vehicle that actually fits your student headcount, your chaperone count, and your school's budget.
Fill out one form, see your options, and choose the bus that works for your class!
See Different Buses, Pictures, and Packages for Your School Event Transportation
Find exactly what your group needs from a wide selection of bus types available through the network! A smaller class of 15 students heading to Moccasin Lake Nature Park (2750 Park Trail Ln, Clearwater, FL 33759) fits perfectly on a 15-passenger minibus — compact enough to navigate the park's lot without any trouble. A full class of 30 students plus chaperones heading to the Dalí Museum (One Dalí Blvd, St. Petersburg, FL 33701) or Glazer Children's Museum (110 W Gasparilla Plaza, Tampa, FL 33602) rides comfortably in a 56-passenger motorcoach with undercarriage storage for backpacks and equipment.
ADA-accessible buses are available through the network too — just mention it when you fill out your quote!

Get Your Class to the Clearwater Marine Aquarium Without the Parking Headache
You can count on field trip transportation to make your CMA visit smooth from the very first pickup! The Clearwater Marine Aquarium (249 Windward Passage, Clearwater, FL 33767) sits on Island Estates, which means every vehicle in your group crosses the Memorial Causeway to reach it — and on a busy spring morning, that causeway fills fast. Instead of coordinating a caravan of parent cars across the bridge and hunting for scattered parking on the island, one bus keeps your whole class together and drops everyone steps from the main entrance on Windward Passage.
CMA's school programs book out weeks in advance during March through May, so locking in your transportation early is just as important as securing your program reservation. Call 727-674-1769 to compare available buses for your date!
One Bus Keeps Every Student Together on the Way to Tampa's Top Destinations
One of the most popular field trip corridors for Clearwater schools runs east across the Courtney Campbell Causeway (SR-60) to Tampa — and it is one of the most traffic-prone drives in the region. The causeway crossing alone can stretch from 30 minutes to well over an hour during morning peak hours, and splitting your class across multiple cars means managing late arrivals and scattered pickups at the destination. A charter bus or motorcoach keeps every student and every chaperone on one schedule.
Whether you're heading to MOSI (4801 E Fowler Ave, Tampa, FL 33617), the Florida Aquarium (701 Channelside Dr, Tampa, FL 33602), or Busch Gardens Tampa (10165 N McKinley Dr, Tampa, FL 33612), one bus handles the causeway traffic while your class settles in for the ride!
Get the Right Bus Size for Ruth Eckerd Hall Student Matinees
Get your students to Ruth Eckerd Hall (1111 McMullen Booth Rd, Clearwater, FL 33759) on time and together for student matinee performances and arts education programs without the stress of coordinating parent drop-offs across McMullen Booth Road! Ruth Eckerd Hall's large main parking lot off McMullen Booth accommodates motorcoaches comfortably, so your bus can drop the group at the entrance and stage in the lot until the performance wraps. Through Clearwatercharterbuscompany.com, you can compare 15-passenger minibuses for smaller arts groups all the way up to 56-passenger motorcoaches for a full grade-level field trip — and see pricing for your date in under 30 seconds.
No waiting for callbacks to get pricing, no waiting — just options, right on your screen!
Through the Network, Find Buses for St. Petersburg Museum Field Trips Too
Through Clearwatercharterbuscompany.com, finding transportation to St. Petersburg's top educational destinations is just as easy as booking a local Clearwater run! Whether your class is visiting the Dalí Museum (One Dalí Blvd, St. Petersburg, FL 33701) for a visual arts unit, stopping in at Great Explorations Children's Museum (1925 4th St N, St. Petersburg, FL 33704) for interactive learning, or heading to the Museum of Fine Arts (255 Beach Dr NE, St. Petersburg, FL 33701), the network has buses ready for the 20-mile run south from Clearwater. Compare minibuses and motorcoaches from independently owned companies serving the entire Pinellas County corridor — and get pricing for your trip in seconds, not hours!
You'll Find the Right Bus for Florida Botanical Gardens and Outdoor Education Days
You'll love how easy it is to arrange transportation to the Florida Botanical Gardens (12520 Ulmerton Rd, Largo, FL 33774) for outdoor science and nature education! Just 10 miles south of central Clearwater, the 182-acre gardens offer free admission and school programs by appointment — and the on-site parking lot handles school buses and charter buses without any trouble. A 15- to 35-passenger minibus is a great fit for a smaller class exploring the gardens' themed gardens and native plant collections, while a full 56-passenger motorcoach works perfectly when the whole grade is coming along.

Book as early as possible — and for spring field trips, that means no later than January or February. March through May is the single busiest stretch of the year for school transportation in Pinellas County, and it overlaps directly with prom season across Clearwater, Largo, Dunedin, and Palm Harbor schools. Buses fill fast during that window, and waiting until a few weeks before your trip date often means fewer options and higher pricing.
The earlier you compare and book, the better your selection and the better your price!
Yes! Clearwatercharterbuscompany.com connects you to a network of transportation companies serving all of Pinellas County and the surrounding region — not just schools located in Clearwater itself. Whether your school is in Largo, Dunedin, Palm Harbor, Safety Harbor, Tarpon Springs, or St. Petersburg, you can fill out one form and compare buses for a pickup at your school and a drop-off at the Clearwater Marine Aquarium or any other Clearwater-area destination. Just enter your actual pickup address when you request your quote!
Yes — ADA-accessible buses with wheelchair lifts are available through the network of transportation companies serving Clearwater.

Don't wait to bring it up — getting the right vehicle starts with getting the right information into your quote request!
It depends on your headcount! A 15- to 35-passenger minibus is a great fit for a smaller class or a specialized group — and it's compact enough for tighter drop-off areas like Island Estates near the Clearwater Marine Aquarium. A 56-passenger motorcoach is the right call for a full class plus chaperones, especially on longer runs to Tampa or St. Petersburg, where undercarriage luggage bays handle backpacks and gear easily. Clearwatercharterbuscompany.com lets you compare both side by side so you find the vehicle that actually fits your group — not just the one that's available!
Absolutely! The Courtney Campbell Causeway (SR-60) connects Clearwater to Tampa in about 30 to 45 minutes off-peak — though morning traffic can push that to 60 minutes or more. Clearwatercharterbuscompany.com connects you to bus companies that run this corridor regularly, serving destinations like MOSI, the Florida Aquarium, the Glazer Children's Museum, and Busch Gardens Tampa.
