When someone else is responsible for getting your student where they need to be, knowing what happens next matters.
With Cross Country, students travel with clear pickup arrangements, confirmed destinations and a team behind the journey from pickup through to arrival.
You’ll know where they need to be, when they’re travelling and what happens at the other end.
Vetted & Checked
Every Cross Country student transport driver is fully police vetted and background checked, giving families and schools confidence in the people responsible for each journey.
Trained for the Responsibility
Our drivers complete comprehensive training and ongoing preparation to understand the responsibilities that come with transporting and looking after students.
Safe, Quality Vehicles
Students travel in high-quality, well-maintained vehicles, with safety, security and comfort considered throughout every journey.
Drivers Who Care
Our drivers understand that student transport is about more than getting from one place to another. Students are treated with care, patience and respect from pickup through to arrival.

Cross Country runs scheduled Friday and Sunday boarding school transfers between participating schools in Hamilton and Cambridge and regional meeting points in Tauranga, Te Puke, Rotorua, Tokoroa, Putāruru and Bethlehem.
Friday afternoons take students from school to their regional drop-off point. Sunday afternoons bring students back for the week ahead.
The service is pre-booked, with set routes and meeting points. Final Friday pickup details are confirmed by text before travel.
Give us the basics. We’ll help with the rest.
Note: These are approximate departure times. Final Friday pickup times and the allocated service are confirmed by text to the nominated mobile number before travel.
