School Bus Charter
When Fred DiGiovanni began Island Charter, he had a small contract with the NYC Board of Education and ran the school bus charter service with five small mini school buses. However, from the first school bus charter in 1979, Island Charter has grown to one of the biggest bus charter companies in the NY Metropolitan area and now, in 2009, Island Charter offers its school bus charter service to schools in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens, as well as Staten Island and Long Island. The school bus charter is used as a means of daily transportation for many school-going children and since schools often embark on day trips and excursions, the services of Island Charter are again called upon to offer a school bus charter which is safe, reliable and dependable. Today thousands of school children depend on the school bus charter service which is offered by Island Charter and due to the fact that we are a well-known transportation company, we go to every effort to make sure that our fleet of more than 150 buses is roadworthy and safe. The school buses are staffed by well-trained drivers as well as escorts and our school bus charter is complaint with both the federal and state Department of Transportation motor vehicle regulations and has received certifications from the NYC Board of Education.

In addition to simply providing a school bus charter service that transports school children from home to school and visa versa, our staff has been trained to handle children who have special needs and require special care and as such, we are used by a number of special needs schools in the NY Metropolitan area. As opposed to other school bus charter services, Island Charter does not have strict pick-up and return times; instead, we will work together with the school to devise a schedule that meets the needs of the students.
