BOOK THANKSGIVING BREAK 2025!

Cancellations must be made 21 or more days prior to (each) departure date to receive a refund less a $10 processing fee.  If you are canceling part of a round-trip ride, your ticket price will be adjusted to a one-way fare. The refund back to you will be the difference, less our $10 processing fee. Because we book our inventory of buses 3 weeks in advance, cancellations made 20 days or less prior to departure are non-refundable, non-transferable, and cannot be used for credit to travel on future rides.

Get live updates and communicate with us, as well as fellow parents and students.

Why Choose College Break Bus by Starr?

Students-Only Bus

When you travel with us, you’ll be traveling on a private motorcoach for students only. Our services are not open to non-University students.

As Parents, We Get It

Having two sons in college ourselves, we understand the frustration of coordinating travel for breaks. Leave the work to us, and we’ll make the trip seamless.

Family Owned, Experience Proven

We’ve owned our own bus fleet for 75 years, so we know what it takes to provide the highest level of service. We’re also a proud member of the International Motorcoach Group and American Bus Association.

Live Tracking

Easily coordinate your pickups and ensure that your student arrived at school safely using our real-time GPS bus tracking.
