Updated October 2025
Trusted by Auckland schools and educators for over 30 years
When it comes to school transport, safety, reliability, and trust are everything. For decades, Kiwi Coaches has been the preferred partner for schools across Auckland and beyond — providing dedicated vehicles, experienced drivers, and a proven record of care for students of all ages.
From daily school runs to sports tournaments, camps, and field trips, Kiwi Coaches is the name principals, teachers, and parents know they can depend on.
🚌 Our Commitment to Student Safety
At Kiwi Coaches, student safety isn’t an afterthought — it’s our first priority.
Every journey is backed by strict NZTA compliance and years of operational experience:
Police-vetted drivers – All drivers undergo full background checks and meet Ministry of Education standards.
Seat-belted coaches – Every vehicle used for school transport includes seatbelts and modern safety systems.
Live tracking and route management – Our operations team monitors journeys in real time to ensure punctuality and student safety.
Regular fleet inspections – All vehicles pass scheduled COF/WOF and in-house maintenance checks.
Fully enclosed coaches – No open-top vehicles; all are secure, weather-ready, and equipped for safe boarding and disembarkation.
“Our Kiwi Coaches driver knows every student by name and ensures everyone is checked off before departure. It’s that personal care that makes the difference.”
— Deputy Principal, West Auckland Intermediate School
