How much does a coach for a school trip from Paris cost?
Short answer: from €350 incl. VAT per day for a minibus carrying 8 to 15 pupils, €700 incl. VAT for a 30-to-53-seat coach — a full class — and from €900 incl. VAT for a large coach of 64 to 93 seats. Driver, fuel, tolls and insurance included. On a per-kilometre basis, allow €1.50 to €2.50 per km in a minibus and €2.50 to €4.00 per km in a standard coach.
The rest of this page puts those options side by side, figure by figure: which vehicle for which class size, when the day rate becomes cheaper than the kilometre rate, and what grouping two or three classes into one coach really saves.

Day rate or per kilometre: at what distance does it tip over?
| Vehicle | Day rate incl. VAT | Price per km incl. VAT | Distance above which the day rate becomes cheaper |
|---|---|---|---|
| Minivan / Minibus 8-15 | 350 € | 1,50 – 2,50 € | between 140 and 233 km covered in the day |
| Midibus 16-29 | 500 € | 2,00 – 3,00 € | between 167 and 250 km |
| Standard coach 30-53 | 700 € | 2,50 – 4,00 € | between 175 and 280 km |
| Executive coach 54-63 | 900 € | 3,00 – 5,00 € | between 180 and 300 km |
| High-capacity coach 64-93 | from 900 € | 3,00 – 5,00 € | between 180 and 300 km |
| Wheelchair-accessible bus 20-50 | 800 € | 3,00 – 5,00 € | between 160 and 267 km |
How to read it: for a class of 30 pupils in a standard coach, a round trip of less than 175 km works out cheaper per kilometre; above 280 km in the day, the day rate always wins. In between, it depends on the per-kilometre rate obtained for your date. Calculated from the price grid above.
One class, two classes, a whole year group: what grouping saves
| School group | Total headcount | Recommended make-up | Indicative cost incl. VAT / day | Instead of |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 class — 30 pupils + 3 adults | 33 | 1 Standard coach 30-53 | from 700 € | — |
| 2 classes — 60 pupils + 6 adults | 66 | 1 High-capacity coach 64-93 | from 900 € | 1 400 € |
| 3 classes — 90 pupils + 9 adults | 99 | 1 High-capacity coach 64-93 + 1 Minibus 8-15 | from 1 250 € | 2 100 € |
| A year group — 150 pupils + 15 adults | 165 | 2 High-capacity coach 64-93 | from 1 800 € | 2 800 € |
| A whole school — 300 pupils + 30 adults | 330 | 4 High-capacity coach 64-93 | from 3 600 € | 5 600 € |
Supervisors occupy seats and count towards the headcount: a class of 30 pupils with 3 adults means 33 seats to book, not 30. Above 93 passengers, travel is organised as a convoy of several vehicles, up to 1,000 passengers.

Frequently asked questions about school transport in Paris
From €350 incl. VAT per day for a minibus carrying 8 to 15 pupils, €500 for a 16-to-29-seat midibus, €700 for the 30-to-53-seat coach that takes a full class, €900 for a 54-to-63-seat executive coach and from €900 for a 64-to-93-seat coach. Driver, fuel, tolls and insurance included.
Yes. An adult occupies a seat just like a pupil. A class of 30 pupils with 3 supervisors means 33 seats to book, not 30. This is the most common sizing mistake: a 30-seat coach is not enough for a class of 30.
One. Two classes, that is 66 people including supervisors, fit into one 64-to-93-seat coach from €900 incl. VAT, against €1,400 for two 53-seat coaches. That is €500 saved on the day, with one meeting point and one driver to coordinate.
For a standard 30-to-53-seat coach, the €700 incl. VAT day rate becomes cheaper between 175 and 280 km covered in the day, depending on the per-kilometre rate obtained for your date. Below 175 km the kilometre formula costs less. Above 280 km the day rate always wins.
Yes. The wheelchair-accessible bus seats 20 to 50 passengers and takes 4 to 5 wheelchairs per vehicle, at €800 incl. VAT per day, €3.00 to €5.00 per km. Above 5 wheelchairs we arrange a convoy of several vehicles.
93 passengers in a single vehicle — that is our maximum capacity. Beyond that we put together a convoy of several coaches, up to 1,000 passengers: a whole year group or an entire school travels in one go.
