Your students ride with us, not with whoever a broker found this week. Imperial Charters is an owner operated charter bus company based in Mansfield, TX. We handle field trips, athletic travel, and band trips for schools across DFW. One company. Our own buses. Our own drivers.
School travel season starts in August. The schools that lock in their fall dates now get first pick on game days and trip dates. Call (214) 414-9041 or get a quote online.
Field Trips Without the Headaches
Teachers have enough to manage on trip day. We make the bus the easy part. Your driver arrives early, loads fast, and knows the route to the museum, the state capitol, or the science center before the day starts. Climate controlled coaches, seatbelts, storage for lunches and gear, and a restroom on board for longer runs.
We run field trips all over Dallas Fort Worth and beyond. Perot Museum, Fort Worth Zoo, the Stockyards, Austin capitol trips, and college campus visits.
Athletics and Team Travel
Game schedules do not wait. We get teams, coaches, and equipment to district games, tournaments, and playoff runs on time. Friday night football, volleyball tournaments, track meets, and out of town games across Texas. Coaches ride up front with a driver who communicates. Parents know the team is with a DOT certified operator, not a name they have never heard of.
Band and Fine Arts Trips
Band travel means instruments, uniforms, and a schedule with zero slack. We plan luggage bay space around your equipment and build the pickup times backward from your performance slot. Marching contests, UIL events, and spring trips.
School Bus or Charter Bus for Your Field Trip?
A school bus works for a short hop. A charter bus wins on anything past 30 minutes. Air conditioning that keeps up in Texas heat. Seatbelts at every seat. A restroom on board. Storage under the bus instead of in laps. And one driver assigned to your group all day, so the bus is there when you walk out, not circling a parking lot.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far in advance should a school book?
Two to four weeks for a standard field trip. For playoff season, graduation, and spring trip dates, book as early as you can. Fall dates go fast once school starts.
Do you require a deposit?
Yes. A deposit holds your date and the balance is due before trip day. We invoice the school or booster club directly.
Can parents or staff ride along?
Yes. Chaperones count toward the seat total, so give us your full headcount when you request a quote.
