Check out how easy it is to find field trip transportation in Davis when you compare buses from a network of independent operators all in one place! Busrentaldavis.com is not a bus company — it's a quote-comparison and referral website that brings together a large network of independently owned transportation companies so you can see more options, more vehicle types, and more price points than any single company could offer. You fill out one form, and you're taken straight to a results page showing available buses and pricing for your date and route. No waiting for callbacks to get pricing.

Every Bus You Can Book for School Event Transportation
Booking the right bus size matters, and through Busrentaldavis.com, you can compare every option. A 15- to 35-passenger minibus is a great pick for smaller Davis classes heading to Explorit Science Center or the UC Davis Arboretum — compact enough to navigate LaRue Road on campus and tight downtown streets without the headaches that come with a full-size coach. For larger groups heading to the Lawrence Hall of Science (1 Centennial Dr, Berkeley, CA 94720) or the California Academy of Sciences (55 Music Concourse Dr, San Francisco, CA 94118), a 56-passenger charter bus keeps every student and chaperone together on the I-80 run, with reclining seats, climate control, overhead storage, and undercarriage luggage bays for gear and backpacks.

Field Trips to Sacramento's Top Museums and Attractions — All on One Bus
Give your students a day they'll actually remember with a charter bus to Sacramento's best educational destinations! The California State Railroad Museum (125 I St, Sacramento, CA 95814) is one of the most visited museums in the state and a perennial favorite for Davis-area schools — charter buses drop off on I Street or Front Street in Old Sacramento, then stage nearby while your group explores. The school-group entrance is on 2nd Street, and signs from I Street lead your bus to the gated lot behind the museum, where marked bus spaces are free.
Your bus can unload and stay in the same bus lot while you visit instead of circling Old Sacramento for a curb; see the California State Railroad Museum bus parking and school-group directions for the exact approach. The Crocker Art Museum (216 O St, Sacramento, CA 95814) runs K–12 school programs with bus drop-off on O Street, and the California Museum (1020 O St, Sacramento, CA 95814) covers California history in a way textbooks can't. Sacramento is only 15 miles from Davis via I-80 — one bus, one pickup, and no parking scramble for a caravan of parent cars!
What Every Davis Teacher Needs to Know About Bus Access at Lawrence Hall of Science
What makes Lawrence Hall of Science one of the best field trip destinations for Davis schools is also what makes it worth planning carefully. The Lawrence Hall of Science sits on the UC Berkeley hillside with sweeping Bay views and hands-on science exhibits that work for every grade level. Charter bus parking is in Lot 12 on Centennial Drive, and the $10 bus parking fee must be arranged in advance — confirm your spot when you book your bus, not the morning of the trip.
The drive from Davis is roughly 70 miles via I-80 west; add 30 to 45 minutes for Bay Area morning traffic if your departure is between 7am and 9am. A 56-passenger charter bus handles the highway run easily, while a 15- to 35-passenger minibus works for smaller classes. Advance group reservations at Lawrence Hall are strongly recommended — call the venue directly at (510) 642-5132 and review the Lawrence Hall of Science visitor information page before your trip date.
Browse Buses for the Jelly Belly Factory, Sacramento Zoo, and More Day-Trip Favorites
Browse the full range of available buses for every Davis field trip destination your school has on the calendar! The Jelly Belly Factory (1 Jelly Belly Ln, Fairfield, CA 94533) is a free factory tour that Davis-area elementary and middle school groups love — bus parking is in the main lot, but advance group reservations are required for parties over 20, so call ahead to (800) 953-2473 before booking your bus. The Sacramento Zoo (3930 W Land Park Dr, Sacramento, CA 95822) requires advance group reservations through (916) 808-5888, with bus parking available in the main lot on West Land Park Drive.
Do not send your bus to the curb in front of the zoo: buses load, unload, and park on 15th Street or 17th Street, and your group meets across the street by the large Fairytale Town sign. Your bus keeps the crowded zoo entrance clear while you gather everyone in the approved meeting area; see the Sacramento Zoo field-trip bus loading and meeting instructions for the day-of layout. The Effie Yeaw Nature Center (2850 San Lorenzo Way, Carmichael, CA 95608) offers nature education programs with bus drop-off in the main parking area.
Compare minibuses and charter buses for any of these routes — and get pricing in under 30 seconds!
Whatever Grade Level, Whatever Destination — There's a Bus That Fits
Whatever your class needs, the network has a bus for it! A compact 15-passenger minibus works perfectly for a small Birch Lane Elementary group heading to the UC Davis Arboretum on LaRue Road — easy to park, easy to load, and no oversized-vehicle headaches on narrow campus roads. A full 56-passenger motorcoach is the right call when Davis Senior High School's entire biology class is heading to the Exploratorium (Pier 15, The Embarcadero, San Francisco, CA 94111) for the day — plenty of reclining seats, overhead bins for backpacks, and undercarriage storage for equipment, all the way across the Bay.
And for everything in between — Holmes Junior High heading to the California State Capitol, Harper Junior High visiting the Crocker Art Museum — there's a minibus or charter bus in the network sized exactly right. Compare them all in one place, with photos and upfront pricing, no account needed!

Charter buses drop off on I Street or Front Street in Old Sacramento near the museum entrance at 125 I St, Sacramento, CA 95814. There is no dedicated bus lot at the museum, so buses stage on nearby streets between drop-off and pickup. Confirm current access details with the museum at (916) 323-9280 and review the California State Railroad Museum visitor information page before your trip.
Advance group reservations are recommended for school visits.
Book 6 to 8 weeks in advance for most Davis field trips — and stretch that to 8 to 10 weeks for Bay Area destinations like the Exploratorium or Lawrence Hall of Science, especially during spring field trip season (March through June). That window is the busiest stretch of the year for buses across Yolo and Sacramento counties, and popular dates fill quickly. The earlier you compare and book, the better your vehicle selection and pricing!
Yes — charter buses access the UC Davis campus via LaRue Road, Old Davis Road, and Hutchison Drive, following designated campus access routes for oversized vehicles. For visits to the UC Davis Arboretum, buses drop off near the LaRue Road entrance at Shields Avenue. For other campus destinations, confirm your specific access point with UC Davis Visitor Services at (530) 752-8111 before your trip, as campus road access can vary by event and construction activity.
Yes — bus parking at Lawrence Hall of Science is in Lot 12 on Centennial Drive and must be arranged in advance. The bus parking fee is $10 per bus. Advance group reservations for the museum itself are also strongly recommended.
Contact Lawrence Hall of Science at (510) 642-5132 and review the visitor information page to confirm current parking and group visit procedures before your Davis school trip.
A 15- to 35-passenger minibus is the most practical choice for trips to the Explorit Science Center (3141 5th St, Davis, CA 95618). The center is right in Davis, street parking on 5th Street is limited, and a compact minibus is far easier to stage than a full-size 56-passenger coach on a neighborhood street. Explorit is pausing operations until further notice; contact (530) 756-0191 when group visits resume, then use Busrentaldavis.com's online quote tool to compare available minibuses for your date and group size!
