Choosing your booking model
Simple bookings, or a tech-powered commute
Most schools only need the first option. The second is a managed platform with different eligibility, so it is worth knowing which applies to you before you enquire.

School & university FAQ
What schools ask before booking
Do your drivers hold valid Working with Children Checks (WWCC) in Victoria?
Yes. Every driver holds an active WWCC and VIC Driver Accreditation, fully compliant with Safe Transport Victoria standards.
Where can large coaches safely drop off and pick up students at Tarneit schools?
Our route planning team coordinates directly with school staff to utilise designated bus zones on Leakes Road and Derrimut Road (3029). For university groups, drivers are familiar with the heavy vehicle bays at Victoria University Werribee Campus (3030).
What is StudentRide, and is our school eligible?
StudentRide is our partner platform for fully managed daily home-to-school commutes, with tap-on/tap-off technology and live GPS tracking for parents. It is exclusively available to Independent Schools. Every other school, TAFE, and university books through our standard charter service, which covers excursions, camps, sports days, and term contracts.
Can you provide documentation for our excursion risk assessment?
Yes. Our logistics team can supply the accreditation, insurance, and vehicle documentation your school needs to complete its risk assessment and approval paperwork. Tell us what your template requires and we will send it across with the quote.
What vehicle sizes are available for school groups?
We run minibuses for small classes and specialist groups through to full-size coaches for whole year-level movements, and we coordinate multiple vehicles where a single coach will not cover the cohort. Give us your student and staff numbers and we will recommend the most cost-effective combination.
Do you handle school camps and multi-day trips?
Yes. Camp transfers are routine work for us, including staggered departures for large year levels and return collection at the end of the programme. Send us the camp location, dates, and student numbers and we will build the movement plan around them.
Can you accommodate students with additional needs?
Tell us the specific requirements when you enquire, including boarding assistance, wheelchair spaces, seating arrangements, or a quieter vehicle, and we will confirm what we can provide for your dates and route.
How far in advance should we book excursions and camps?
As early in the term as your dates are confirmed. Excursion demand peaks around the same weeks each year, and camp season fills quickly for large multi-vehicle movements, so early booking gives you the best chance of the vehicle sizes you want.
