Stratford School Field Trip Charter Bus Rentals

With Busrentalstratford.com, booking group transportation means your class travels together on one comfortable bus while I-95 through Fairfield County does its worst — and you don't have to worry about a single minute of it. I-95 between Stratford and New Haven is one of the most congested corridors in New England, with peak backups running from 7 to 9 in the morning and again from 3:30 to 6:30 in the afternoon. And here's the detail that catches first-time planners off guard: the Merritt Parkway (Route 15) explicitly prohibits commercial vehicles, including charter buses — so all bus routing to destinations north and west runs on I-95 or Route 1.

One bus, one departure time, one arrival — and none of the logistics on your plate!

Get online pricing in under 30 seconds for your class's next big field trip — whether you're heading east to Mystic Seaport Museum (75 Greenmanville Ave, Mystic, CT 06355) or Mystic Aquarium (55 Coogan Blvd, Mystic, CT 06355), both of which require advance reservations for groups of 15 or more per their respective group visits pages, with bus drop-off at the main gate and main entrance respectively. Heading to New Haven instead? The Yale Peabody Museum of Natural History (170 Whitney Ave, New Haven, CT 06511) is about 20 miles west and requires advance school group bookings per the Peabody group visits page.

Up in Hartford, the Connecticut Science Center (250 Columbus Blvd, Hartford, CT 06103) offers bus drop-off on Columbus Blvd with parking in the adjacent lot. At the Connecticut Science Center, your bus uses the cut-out in front of the building for unloading, then parks in an open lot down the street at a rate of $12 per bus; everyone needs to be ready at the street-level Columbus Boulevard entrance at least 10 minutes before departure because buses may not idle in the cut-out and may be sent around the block — the Connecticut Science Center field-trip parking and departure instructions spell out the sequence. Your bus unloads in the North Parking Lot at GPS 104 Greenmanville Ave., using the cutaway along Rossie Pentway, then moves to the South Parking Lot at GPS 50 Greenmanville Ave., directly across from the red tugboat; the Mystic Seaport Museum bus-tour parking instructions keep the arrival and re-pickup plan clear.
