School Tour Bus Hire in Dublin

Trusted by Schools for Safe, Comfortable Educational Transport

School tours are one of the most memorable parts of the school year, and the transport should be the least of anyone's worries. Bus Hire Dublin provides safe, reliable school coach and mini bus hire for primary and secondary schools across Dublin and Ireland. Our drivers are fully vetted, our vehicles are regularly serviced and safety checked, and every seat has a seatbelt.

Safety First: Garda Vetted Drivers

We understand the responsibility of transporting children and young people. Our drivers hold all required qualifications and undergo regular Garda vetting and ongoing training. Our vehicles are maintained to the highest standard, so teachers and organisers can relax knowing the transport is in safe hands.

School Coach Hire Dublin: Routes and Timings to Suit Your Day

We cover school tours across Dublin, Leinster and further afield, with custom routes, timings and stops built around your school day. Groups range from a single 16-seater minibus for a class to several coaches for a whole year group. See our Fleet page for sizes.

Invoices Addressed Directly to the School

Invoices can be addressed directly to the school. If your school has regular transport needs through the year, talk to us about a seasonal arrangement. May and June are our busiest months for school tours, so book early.

Pupils with Additional Needs

For children with additional needs, let us know any requirements when booking and we'll assign the right vehicle and driver. Our wheelchair accessible minibuses carry up to 4 wheelchairs.
