Back to School Coach Hire: School Trips, Sports Teams or Weekly Activities – We Have You Covered

The uniforms are ready, school bags are packed and another new school year is about to begin.

For schools, teachers and parents, September also means the return of everything that happens outside the classroom.

School trips start appearing in the diary. Sports fixtures get underway again. Swimming lessons return. After-school activities begin, competitions are organised and before long the school calendar starts filling up.

And almost every one of those activities has one thing in common.

You need to get everyone there.

At Executive Travel NI, that’s where we can help.

Whether it’s a one-off school trip, a sports team travelling to an away fixture or transport required every week for a regular school activity, we can provide private minibus and coach transport tailored around your school.

School Trips Without the Transport Headache

Organising a school trip involves enough work without transport becoming another problem.

You’ve got passenger numbers to confirm, permission slips to collect, timings to organise and an itinerary to keep on schedule.

Give us the transport details and let us look after that part.

From local educational visits around our area to full-day trips across Northern Ireland and further afield, Executive Travel NI can provide vehicles suitable for different group sizes.

Tell us how many passengers are travelling, where you’re leaving from, where you’re going and when you need to be there.

We’ll help plan the journey around you.

Taking the Team to the Next Fixture

September also means the return of school sport.

Football, rugby, hockey, athletics and plenty more quickly fill the calendar, with teams regularly travelling between schools, pitches and sporting venues across our country.

Trying to coordinate players travelling in several different cars isn’t always ideal.

Private team transport keeps everyone together.

Players travel together, coaches travel with their team and everyone arrives at the same place at the same time.

Depending on the size of the squad, we can provide anything from executive minibus transport through to larger coaches, with additional space considered when teams are travelling with equipment.

Whether it’s a local fixture or a competition at the other end of the country, we’ll help get the team there.

Hopefully with a win on the journey home!

Weekly School Activities? We Can Look After Those Too

Not every school journey is a one-off.

Many schools require regular transport throughout the term.

It might be weekly swimming lessons.

A PE class travelling to an external facility.

Students attending another campus.

Regular sports training.

Music or drama activities.

Outdoor education.

Or another activity that requires the same group to travel every week.

Executive Travel NI can work with schools to provide regular scheduled transport, rather than having to organise each journey individually.

If you’ve got a class that needs to be somewhere every Tuesday morning for the next ten weeks, speak to us.

We can look at the complete requirement and help put a transport plan in place for the term.

From Smaller Groups to Full Classes

Every school journey is different.

Sometimes you’re moving a relatively small group of pupils.

Other times it’s several classes travelling together.

That’s why having access to different vehicle sizes matters.

Our fleet allows us to cater for smaller groups requiring minibus transport right through to larger groups requiring full-size coaches.

It means schools can talk to one transport provider about a wide range of requirements throughout the year rather than starting again every time passenger numbers change.

Transport Across Northern Ireland and Beyond

Being based in the North West puts us in a great position to provide school group transport from Derry, Limavady, Coleraine, the Causeway Coast and throughout our area.

But the destination certainly doesn’t have to be local.

We regularly travel throughout Northern Ireland and across Ireland, making Executive Travel NI suitable for everything from a short local journey to a full-day educational trip or sporting event further afield.

Belfast?

No problem.

Dublin?

We can look after it.

A sports competition elsewhere in Ireland?

Talk to us.

The distance might change, but the principle doesn’t.

Your group gets aboard together and we take care of the journey.

Planning Ahead Makes Everything Easier

One piece of advice we’d give schools at the beginning of the new term is to organise transport as early as possible.

If the dates are already in the school calendar, there’s no reason to leave the transport until the week before.

Popular school-trip periods can become extremely busy, particularly towards Christmas, Easter and the end of the academic year.

The same applies to regular weekly activities.

If you know you’ll require transport every week throughout a term, arranging it as a block gives everyone a clear plan from the beginning.

Even if your exact passenger numbers aren’t finalised, speak to us.

We can start looking at the requirement and work with you as the details develop.

One Transport Partner Throughout the School Year

For us, this is the important part.

We don’t want schools to think of Executive Travel NI only when they need a coach for the annual school trip.

We can help throughout the year.

School trips.

Sports fixtures.

Weekly swimming lessons.

Educational visits.

Competitions and tournaments.

Regular activities.

School events.

Group travel across Northern Ireland and Ireland.

If pupils need to get there, there’s a good chance we can help.

For teachers and school administrators, having one reliable point of contact for different transport requirements can make planning considerably easier.

Back to School – and Back on the Road

The start of September is always a busy time.

New pupils arrive, timetables change and everyone settles back into their routine after the summer.

Before long, however, the trips, fixtures and activities begin.

If you’re already looking through this year’s school calendar and wondering how you’re going to transport everyone, get in touch with Executive Travel NI.

Whether you need us once, once a month or every week, we’ll work with your school to find the right transport solution.

School trips, school sports teams or even weekly school activities – we have you covered.

Here’s to another busy school year.

We’ll see you on the road.
