And if you need multiple vehicles for a large group or multi-day event, we can easily coordinate a fleet package that keeps everyone moving on schedule.
Comfortable and Modern Buses for Every School Event
No two school trips are exactly alike—which is why we offer such a wide range of bus sizes and styles. Smaller groups (like after-school clubs or PTA committees) will love our 18- to 35-passenger minibuses, which are perfect for short hops around town or shuttling between campuses. These compact vehicles are easy to maneuver and can access smaller parking lots at places like Creekmore Park or the Janet Huckabee Arkansas River Valley Nature Center.
For larger groups—such as marching bands, sports teams, or entire grade levels—we recommend booking a full-size charter bus that seats up to 56 passengers. These spacious coaches have plenty of room for both people and gear, making them ideal for hauling musical instruments, athletic equipment, or overnight luggage. And with features like reclining seats, climate control, and DVD players, your students will stay comfortable and entertained even on longer rides out to Little Rock or Tulsa.
Field Trips to Local Museums, Parks, and Historic Sites
There’s no better way to bring classroom lessons to life than by taking students out into the community—and there’s no better way to get there than with a private charter bus! Popular destinations within Fort Smith include the Fort Smith National Historic Site, where kids can explore frontier-era buildings and learn about Judge Isaac Parker’s famous courtroom; the U.S. Marshals Museum, which offers interactive exhibits on law enforcement history; and Parrot Island Waterpark, a favorite spot for end-of-year celebrations.
We also regularly transport groups to regional attractions like Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art in Bentonville, the Scott Family Amazeum for hands-on science activities, and the Clinton Presidential Library in Little Rock. Wherever your itinerary takes you, we’ll handle all the driving so teachers and chaperones can focus on supervising students instead of navigating traffic on I-540 or finding parking for multiple school buses.
College Tours and Campus Visits Across Arkansas
High school counselors know how important it is for prospective students to visit colleges before making their final decision—but organizing these trips can be a logistical headache without dedicated transportation. Let us simplify things by providing a charter bus that stays with your group for the entire duration of your campus tour circuit.
We frequently take Fort Smith-area students to visit the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville, Arkansas Tech University in Russellville, the University of Central Arkansas in Conway, and Henderson State University in Arkadelphia. Your driver will drop everyone off at the admissions office for scheduled tours, remain available for any off-campus excursions (like dining halls or dorm visits), and ensure a timely return home at the end of the day.
Athletic and Academic Competition Transportation
Is your debate team heading to a statewide tournament? Does your soccer squad have an away game against a rival school? Skip the cramped vans and carpool caravans—book a charter bus instead! Coaches and club advisors appreciate having all their participants together in one vehicle, which makes it easier to review strategies en route and build team spirit.
Our larger buses come equipped with undercarriage storage bays for bulky items like coolers, banners, or folding tables, while overhead racks keep backpacks and personal belongings organized inside the cabin. After the event, everyone can relax in cushioned seats and watch highlight reels on flat-screen monitors during the ride back to Fort Smith.
