The SAFEST Name in Bus Charter
We don’t just tick boxes, we have the highest standards of maintenance for every single coach. To add more along with safety, every coach is equipped with reverse-cycle air conditioning and live GPS tracking. We also monitor our drivers’ behaviour in real time. You’ll know where the bus is and when it’ll arrive, with no surprises.
Because you’re not just booking a bus, you’re transporting precious lives. Our vehicles are maintained well above the manufacturer’s minimum standards. Our drivers are vetted harder than most school hires. And our systems? Built to prevent problems before they start. If you want peace of mind, this is it.
There is currently a severe and ongoing shortage of buses and drivers particularly in the Sydney market, and if you find a vehicle that is available you should secure it immediately for peace of mind.

Absolutely. We are school travel experts, and the education sector is our largest customer. We uphold the strictest safety standards, ensuring the well-being of children and other passengers alike.

We built our reputation by being the company that never cancels, never overbooks, and never compromises on vehicle safety or punctuality. Our backup drivers, flawless scheduling, and pre-departure inspections make sure you’ll never be “that person” left explaining to a crowd why their bus didn’t show up.
Every MILNE coach is maintained by Australia’s most respected heavy vehicle workshop. Your coach isn’t just roadworthy, it’s signed off by a team trusted across the entire transport industry.

We don’t gamble with safety. Every MILNE Group Travel and Tours’ driver is behaviourally monitored and GPS-tracked live while on the road. No shortcuts. No speeding. No risky turns. Each one is trained to handle high-pressure transfers, whether it’s a VIP diplomat or a cruise group with crying toddlers and ten overpacked bags. And the vehicles? They pass 35 individual checks before every single departure. From tyre pressure to emergency exits. From internal cameras to onboard first aid. If anything’s off by a hair, that bus isn’t moving.
Because when lives are on board, good enough is nowhere near enough.
Yes. As soon as your booking is confirmed, your flight or cruise info is locked into our system.

If your plane’s held on the tarmac, we’re not rushing you. No guesswork. No missed pickups.
Definitely, whether it’s collecting executives from different hotels or a family spread across three suburbs, we’ll map the stops, calculate buffer time, and lock in the route. Every stop is timed to the minute. You’ll never arrive late because someone else got stuck in traffic.
You’re covered. MILNE Group Travel & Tours’ fleet includes wheelchair-accessible vehicles, coaches with low steps, wide aisles, child-friendly seats, and drivers trained to assist. We ask upfront about your group’s needs so there are no awkward surprises or last-minute scrambles. Everyone boards safely, and everyone travels comfortably.
