Safe, Reliable, and Stress-Free Student Travel Solutions
At The Melbourne Coach Company, we know that school transport is more than just getting from A to B – it’s about safety, trust, and efficiency. That’s why we offer a full School Transport Management service for Independent Schools, combining modern fleet vehicles, trained drivers, and advanced technology to keep everyone informed and on schedule.
Whether you’re organising daily school runs, excursions, sports trips, or special events, our tailored management service ensures your students and staff travel safely, comfortably, and on time – every time.
We work with our affiliate StudentRide, which provides fully managed school transport solutions. Offering vehicles, advanced technology including driver apps, parent apps, parent booking portals and a school dashboard for full transparency, along with dedicated staff to manage all aspects of transportation for the school. This system has proven to save money, reduce admin and increase admissions.
