Our History
Since day one, West Coast Bus Charters has been dedicated to providing top-quality bus hire services across Western Australia. Our unwavering commitment to safety, dependability, and customer satisfaction has made us a trusted name in transportation. Over the years, we’ve steadily grown, expanding our fleet and enhancing our services to meet the diverse needs of our customers.
A New Era Begins
Established in 2015 under previous ownership, West Coast Bus Charters entered a new era in 2020 when James acquired the company. With a fresh vision, revised logos, and updated bus designs, James aimed to bring the company into a new generation. His extensive experience in the party bus industry, combined with a focus on bus presentation, next-level customer service, safety, and community engagement, laid the foundation for what WCBC is today.
From Passion to Profession
James’ passion for buses began at a young age. Twelve years ago, he seized the opportunity to buy a bus as a hobby, turning his enthusiasm into a thriving business. Transitioning fully from the building industry to the bus charter industry in 2012, James built a solid foundation based on his background in party buses and regular contracted work with WCBC from 2016 to 2019.
Steady Growth and Expansion
Our journey began with driving buses for mines and starting with just one school run and one bus. Today at WCBC, we proudly operate over 60 + buses, service more than 300 schools, and manage 40+ regular school runs daily. Since 2020, we have also acquired three other bus companies, further expanding our capabilities to serve even more customers’ needs.
Commitment to Excellence
We take pride in our modern fleet of well-maintained vehicles, equipped with the latest safety features to ensure a secure and comfortable journey. Our professional and friendly drivers are trained to deliver exceptional service, ensuring that every trip for our customers is enjoyable. At West Coast Bus Charters, we strive to exceed expectations and build lasting relationships with all our customers, because we love what we do.
Looking Ahead

Testimonials
I just wanted to extend my thanks and appreciation for the excellent service provided by both drivers who transported Mater Dei College staff and students to and from the Perth Observatory last evening. Both Travis and Dave were excellent. They drove our large group very safely and intelligently dealing with difficult conditions of heavy traffic, rain, darkness, steep slopes. They were both very prompt, on time and assisted our large group of 65 with the extra cargo including a wheel chair. The quality of the bus interior was as I’d hoped, very comfortable, spacious, modern and with seat belts.
Thank you so much for working with us over the past week for another fantastic UWA Open Day. We hosted over 15,000 students and families over the weekend and with so many moving parts, it’s suppliers like you that make it that much easier. Thank you for all your time and patience over this busy period; we really appreciate it!
I just wanted to reach out with a quick message of gratitude for one of your drivers, Travis. We had a choir excursion from Aubin Grove Primary to Hammond Park Primary this morning and Travis was our driver. He was exceptional and made our trip such a happy, cruisey ride for the kids and I. He cranked the aircon so we got into a cool bus and was really friendly to all the kids. His communication was spot on too!
I wanted to let you know I had some feedback from our High-Performance team regarding the bus runs WCBC did for the South African Cheetahs, there was really great feedback from all staff and players so thank you to your and your team!
Please could you extend our sincere thanks to our FABULOUS bus driver on Tuesday. He was so pleasant and welcoming and all the staff commented! His music playlist was also so age appropriate and really added to the excitement of the day!
