School field trips require a different standard of care than any other transportation type. The vehicle has to be safe. The driver has to be professional, patient, and experienced with student groups. The schedule has to be reliable. And the school and parents need confidence in every one of those things before the trip leaves the parking lot.
Imperial Charters provides field trip bus service for schools in Mansfield and the surrounding DFW area. Owner-operated, fully insured, and experienced with student groups.

Private and charter schools. Private schools across Tarrant and Johnson Counties. We work with school administrators to meet institutional requirements for student transportation.
Homeschool co-ops and educational groups. Homeschool organizations, learning co-ops, and educational groups often need transportation for museum trips, nature centers, and cultural events. We serve these groups regularly.

What is the maximum student capacity?
A standard motorcoach seats 47 to 55 passengers. For larger groups, contact us and we will discuss options.
Do you require chaperones?
We defer to the school’s chaperone policy. Whatever ratio the school requires, we accommodate.
Can you wait at the destination while students tour?
