More About School Buses
Not every group trip out of New Haven looks the same, and the school buses available through this website reflect that. Heading out with a smaller group of 10 to 24 adults? A Type A mini or Type B small school bus may suit a smaller class or department outing, with a compact size for navigating the tight turns around Chapel Street and Whalley Avenue.
Coordinating a larger group of 44 to 48 adults? A Type C large conventional school bus is sized for the full headcount in one vehicle, so you can review options that may accommodate the group without a second pickup.
Newhavenminibuscompany.com connects you to school buses from a network of independently owned companies serving New Haven and the surrounding region — from Hamden and West Haven to Milford and Branford. Instead of calling company after company hoping someone has availability, you enter your trip details once and compare what's available for your specific date, headcount, and route. You submit the itinerary, review the vehicle options, and continue to the booking platform.
