Welcome to Sydney Coachlines
Coach and Bus Hire for St George and the Sutherland Shire
Sydney Coachlines looks after group travel for schools, clubs, churches, workplaces and families across the St George and Sutherland Shire area. We supply mid size coaches and minibuses with a driver, plan the run with you and keep the day on time, from the first pick-up to the last drop-off.
Every booking is a private charter for your group only. Tell us where you are starting, where you need to be and how many are travelling, and we will send you a written quote with the right vehicle for the job. Request your quote or book online if you already have one.
Local, Steady and On Time
Sydney Coachlines is a local coach charter company for the southern suburbs. Our coaches and minibuses carry school excursions, sports teams, seniors outings, church groups, wedding guests and work functions, around the corner or across the state. We would rather spend ten minutes on the phone getting the plan right than leave a group waiting at the wrong gate.
All of our vehicles are run by an accredited NSW operator, insured, cleaned before each trip and driven by people who know the roads between the Georges River and the Royal National Park. Our office staff help with timings, venue access and the questions you did not know to ask.

Getting around St George and the Shire by coach
The southern suburbs have their own rhythm. The Princes Highway and the M5 slow down at school times and on Friday afternoons, Captain Cook Bridge and Tom Ugly’s Bridge funnel traffic across the Georges River, and Cronulla on a summer weekend is a different place from Cronulla on a Tuesday. Our drivers plan around all of it, so departure times are realistic and your group is not stuck in a queue it could have avoided.
Where local groups travel
- School excursions to the city, Sydney Olympic Park, Canberra and the Royal National Park
- Junior and senior sport around the St George and Sutherland competitions and further afield
- Seniors, RSL and Probus outings to the Southern Highlands, Wollongong and the Blue Mountains
- Church and community trips, retreats and festival days
- Airport and cruise terminal transfers for families and visiting groups
- Weddings, with guests moved between ceremony, photos and reception
- Staff shuttles and corporate Christmas functions
Choosing the right vehicle
Most local groups fit one of our mid size vehicles. A 24 or 28 seat midi coach suits a single class, a sports team with its kit or a small wedding party. A 33 or 39 seat coach suits two teams travelling together or a seniors club day out, with under floor space for bags. For full year groups we can supply larger coaches, and for small family groups a 12 or 20 seat minibus is easier to park at the other end. See the full range on our bus fleet page.
Planning notes for a smooth day
- Choose a pick-up point where a coach can stop safely, such as a school bus bay, a club car park or a quiet side street.
- Count everyone, including teachers, coaches, carers and helpers.
- Check what time the venue opens and where coaches are allowed to set down.
- Agree a firm time to leave for home and tell the group where the coach will be waiting.
- Mention luggage, sports bags, prams or walking frames so the vehicle has room.

Common questions
Which suburbs do you usually pick up from?
Most of our trips start in St George and the Sutherland Shire, from Hurstville, Kogarah, Rockdale and Sans Souci down to Sutherland, Miranda, Caringbah and Cronulla. We also collect from Canterbury-Bankstown, the Inner West and the eastern beaches, and we travel anywhere in Sydney and NSW.
How far ahead should we book?
For school terms, sport finals and the December function season, two to four weeks ahead gives you the best choice of vehicle. Shorter notice is often possible, so ask for a quote even if the date is close.
Are your drivers suitable for school and youth groups?
Yes. Our drivers hold Working With Children Checks and their NSW driver authority, and seatbelt equipped vehicles can be confirmed when you book.
Can we stop for lunch or a break on a day trip?
Yes. Tell us where you would like to stop when you ask for a quote and we will build the stop into the timing, including a safe place for the coach to park while your group is away.
