Coach Hire Sydney with Professional Drivers
Midi coaches, full-size coaches and 62-seat HI-CAP coaches for corporate events, conferences, school excursions, sporting teams, weddings, tours and transfers across Sydney and regional NSW.
Sydney Charter Bus Australia has provided coach hire in Sydney since 2003. We are a direct operator, 100% Australian owned, and every coach on this page is run by our own team and driven by our own drivers. There are no brokers between you and the people who plan your trip, so the person who answers your enquiry knows the fleet, the roads and the venues.
Our coach charters cover one-way transfers, return trips, full-day hire and multi-day touring for groups of 33 to 62 passengers, with smaller minibuses available when numbers are lower. Coaches leave from the nearest of our depots, and every booking runs under NSW Bus Operator Accreditation No. 39461.
Office: Macquarie Park. Depots: Botany, Moorebank and Marrickville.
Our Coach Fleet: 33 to 62 Seats
Choosing the right coach is mostly about passenger numbers and luggage. Our coach range is built in steps, so you can book the size that fits your group rather than paying for empty seats.
- 33-seat midi coach: a compact option for small corporate groups, wedding guests and club outings.
- 39 and 48-seat coaches: popular for school classes, sporting squads and conference transfers.
- 53 and 57-seat coaches: full-size touring coaches for larger groups and regional day trips.
- 62-seat HI-CAP coach: our highest capacity coach, ideal for whole-year school excursions and big event loads.
See every coach size on our 33 to 62 seater coaches page. For smaller groups, we also run a 12-seat minibus, a 20-seat Toyota Coaster, a 24-seat Mitsubishi Rosa and a 28-seat midi coach. The full line-up is on our fleet page.
Coach Charters for Every Kind of Group
Most of our coach work falls into a handful of trip types. Each one has its own planning needs, from luggage space to school paperwork, and we plan around them from the first quote.
Corporate Events and Conferences
Delegate transfers between hotels and venues, staff functions, site visits and roadshows. Corporate and government clients can book against a purchase order. Read more about corporate coach hire and conference transport.
School Excursions
Coaches for day excursions, sport carnivals, camps and performances. Drivers on school work hold a Working With Children Check, and schools can pay by purchase order. See our school excursion bus hire page.
Sporting Teams and Clubs
Away games, tournaments, gala days and supporter trips, with room in the luggage hold for kit bags and equipment. More on sports team transport.
Weddings
Guest transfers between the ceremony, photo locations and reception, so nobody has to drive home. See wedding bus hire.
Tours and Sightseeing
Private day tours to the Blue Mountains, Hunter Valley wine country and Canberra, built around your own timetable. Browse all day tours.
Airport Transfers
Group arrivals and departures at Sydney Airport’s international and domestic terminals, and transfers for Western Sydney Airport. We can add a host to meet your group with our meet and greet service.
Cruise Transfers
Pick-ups and drop-offs at the Overseas Passenger Terminal at Circular Quay and the White Bay Cruise Terminal, with hold space planned for suitcases. See cruise terminal transfers.
Regional and Interstate Trips
Coach charters to Newcastle, Wollongong, the Central Coast, the Southern Highlands and beyond. For longer journeys, see interstate coach hire.
What Is Included with Every Coach
- An accredited professional driver. Every driver holds a NSW Driver Authority, and drivers on school work also hold a Working With Children Check.
- Seatbelts on every seat and air conditioning throughout the coach, so passengers travel safely and comfortably in summer heat.
- Luggage space. Full-size coaches carry bags in an under-floor luggage hold. Tell us how many suitcases, kit bags or equipment cases to expect so we can match the coach to the load. Folded wheelchairs and walkers can also travel in the hold.
- Driver fatigue management. Drivers take a 20-minute break after a maximum of 3 hours driving, and on long days we plan the timetable around this.
- Speed-limited coaches. All coaches are limited to 100 km/h.
- Clear onboard rules. No alcohol is permitted on board, and food and hot drinks are not permitted. Bottled water is fine.
Please note that our coaches are not wheelchair accessible, as they have no lift or ramp. Read our onboard safety policy and accreditation details for more. Every commercial bus operator in this state must hold accreditation with Transport for NSW, as explained on the NSW Government’s bus operator accreditation page.
