Who We Are

PLAN B Transport is a private charter bus company that has operated out of Sydney since 2015. We are not a public transport operator. We do not run scheduled routes. What we do is provide dedicated buses and coaches, with experienced drivers, for groups that need to get somewhere together.

That covers a lot of ground. We handle school excursions across the city. We move corporate teams to conferences and off-site events. We transport wedding guests between ceremony and reception venues. We run shuttle operations for marathons, festivals, and major Sydney events. And we do airport transfers for groups flying in from interstate or overseas.

Our team has decades of combined experience in the transport industry. The people answering your call have coordinated hundreds of multi-bus operations. The drivers behind the wheel know every backstreet, loading zone, and school pick-up point from Bondi to Blacktown. When someone searches for bus hire Sydney, we want them to find a company that actually knows what it is doing. That is us.

What Makes PLAN B Different

There are plenty of bus companies in Sydney. Most of them will give you a bus and a driver. Here is what separates us from the rest:

We actually pick up the phone. When you call 1300 244 383, a real person answers. Not a recording. Not a chatbot. Someone who can talk through your requirements, suggest the right vehicle, and give you a straight answer on pricing. If we cannot do the job, we will tell you upfront instead of wasting your time.

We specialise in complex jobs. A single bus for a birthday party is straightforward. Coordinating eight buses across four locations at 4:30 in the morning for a marathon is not. That is the work we built our reputation on. We understand staging, timing, contingency planning, and how to keep large operations running smoothly.

Our drivers are not just licence holders. Every driver goes through our internal onboarding process. For school work, they carry current Working With Children Checks. For corporate work, they present professionally and understand the standard expected. Many of our drivers have been with us for years. That consistency matters.

We own the problem. If something goes wrong on a job, if traffic causes a delay, if an event runs overtime, we deal with it. We do not leave you stranded or hit you with surprise charges. Our name is on the side of the bus. We take that seriously.

Our Fleet Options

Choosing the right bus matters. Too small and people are cramped. Too large and you are paying for empty seats. Here is a breakdown of our fleet and when each vehicle type makes the most sense.

Minibuses

12-24 Seats

Best for airport transfers, small corporate groups, wedding bridal parties, restaurant outings, and winery tours. Compact enough to navigate tight streets and parking areas. Our most popular option for groups under 25.

Mid-Size Coaches

27-40 Seats

Ideal for medium corporate events, school day trips, sporting team transport, and group tours. Good balance of capacity and manoeuvrability. Often used for jobs where a full-size coach feels excessive but a minibus is too tight.

Full-Size Coaches

48-65 Seats

The workhorse of our fleet. Used for large school groups, multi-day camps, corporate conferences, and major event transport. Available with seatbelts for school requirements. Comfortable seating for longer distance travel.

The Bendy Bus

84 Seats

Our signature vehicle. An 84-seat articulated bus that is the only one of its kind operating commercially in Australia. Perfect for festivals, large corporate events, themed parties, and any occasion where you want to make an impression. This bus turns heads wherever it goes.

Wheelchair Accessible Buses

Various Sizes

Equipped with hydraulic wheelchair lifts and designated secure positions. Used by aged care facilities, NDIS providers, disability support organisations, and schools with accessibility needs. Available in multiple sizes to match your group.

Not sure which option suits your group? Call us on 1300 244 383 and we will recommend the right vehicle based on your group size, destination, and type of trip. See our full fleet page for photos and specifications.

Major Events & Large-Scale Transport

Large events are where PLAN B Transport really earns its reputation. When there are hundreds or thousands of people who need to be in the right place at the right time, you need an operator that understands event logistics from the ground up.

We provide bus hire for major events across Sydney, from crowd shuttle services and road closure support through to VIP and crew transport. Our team works directly with event organisers, councils, and police to plan routes, coordinate timing, and make sure the transport runs as smoothly as the event itself.

Whether it is a marathon that needs pre-dawn shuttles for thousands of runners, a New Year's Eve operation with harbour road closures, a stadium match day moving corporate guests and supporters, or a music festival with continuous shuttle loops between car parks and the venue gates, we have the fleet, the drivers, and the experience to handle it.

If you are planning a large event in Sydney and need bus transport, talk to us early. We will work with your event team to develop a transport plan that keeps everything running on schedule.

Bus Hire Sydney Pricing Guide

We get asked about pricing on every call, and we understand why. Nobody wants to submit a quote form and wait three days for a number. So here is an honest breakdown of how bus hire pricing works in Sydney.

What Affects the Price

Vehicle size. A 12-seat minibus costs less than a 57-seat coach. Straightforward.

Duration. Half-day, full-day, or multi-day. Longer bookings often have better per-hour rates.

Distance. A trip within the CBD costs less than a return journey to the Blue Mountains.

Day and time. Weekdays are standard. Weekends and public holidays may carry a small premium.

Waiting time. If the bus needs to wait at your destination, that is factored into the quote.

Special requirements. Wheelchair access, luggage trailers, or late-night services.

Every job is different, so we quote based on your specific requirements. Tell us the group size, the pickup and drop-off locations, and the date, we will come back with a fixed, all-inclusive quote. No estimates, no ballpark figures.

We do not believe in hidden charges. Your quote includes the vehicle, driver, fuel, and tolls for the specified route. If the job scope changes, we will update the price and explain why. No surprises on the invoice.

The quickest way to get your price is to submit a quote request or call us directly on 1300 244 383. Most quotes are returned within a few hours.

Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers to the questions we hear most often about bus hire in Sydney.

How do I get a quote for bus hire in Sydney?
Tell us your group size, the pickup and drop-off locations, and the date. We will come back with a fixed, all-inclusive quote that covers the bus, driver, fuel, and GST. Tolls are the only variable and we flag those upfront. The best way to get an accurate figure is to call us on 1300 244 383 or submit a quote request. We will come back to you with a clear price, no hidden charges.
What size bus do I need for my group?
That depends on your group size and the type of trip. For groups of 10 to 20, a minibus is ideal. For 25 to 40 passengers, a midi coach works well. Groups of 40 to 57 typically need a full-size school bus or coach. For very large groups, we can supply multiple vehicles or our 84-seat articulated bus. Keep in mind that if your group has luggage or equipment, you may want a slightly larger bus for comfort. Call us and we will recommend the right fit.
Can you handle large events and festivals?
Absolutely. Large-scale transport is one of our specialities. We have provided bus services for the Sydney Marathon, corporate conferences, and New Year operations. We can deploy multiple buses simultaneously, coordinate staggered departures, and work with event organisers on timing and logistics. If you are planning a major event, get in touch early so we can lock in availability.
Do you provide airport transfers for groups?
Yes. We handle group airport transfers at Sydney Airport, both domestic and international terminals. Our drivers meet your group at arrivals and help with luggage. We also service transfers to and from Sydney cruise terminals. This is a popular service for incoming corporate groups, sports teams, and tour groups. We recommend booking at least a week in advance for airport jobs.
Are your drivers experienced and certified?
Every driver at PLAN B Transport holds a current heavy vehicle licence and has undergone our internal training process. For school transport, all drivers carry Working With Children Check clearances. Many of our drivers have been with us for years and know Sydney roads inside and out. We do not use casual or last-minute contract drivers for school or corporate work.
How far in advance should I book?
For standard bookings like school excursions or corporate events, one to two weeks notice is ideal. For large-scale events, festivals, or peak periods such as school terms and the Christmas period, we recommend booking four to six weeks ahead. That said, we know plans change. That is literally why we are called PLAN B. Call us even at short notice and we will do everything we can to help.
Do you have wheelchair accessible buses?
Yes. We operate wheelchair accessible buses fitted with hydraulic lifts and secure wheelchair positions. These vehicles are regularly used by aged care homes, NDIS transport providers, disability support organisations, and schools with accessibility requirements. Let us know your needs and we will make sure the right vehicle is assigned.
What happens if my plans change or I need to cancel?
We understand that plans shift. If you need to change the date, time, or pick-up location, just call us as early as possible and we will adjust. For cancellations, our policy is straightforward and reasonable. We will always work with you, not against you. Contact us and we will sort it out.
Do you operate on weekends and public holidays?
Yes. We operate seven days a week, including public holidays. Weekend and public holiday bookings are common, especially for weddings, sporting events, and festivals. Pricing may vary slightly for public holidays, but we are always transparent about costs upfront.
