Belbaker PTY LTD is a family owned business that operates from Zillmere, on the Northside of Brisbane QLD. With 48 years of experience and a diverse business portfolio ranging from bus chartering, childcare facilities to building applications, it is no wonder as to why Belbaker is one of the most trusted and respected organisations within their industry sectors.
Humble Beginnings
Mr. Walter William Baker (can be seen in the Figure below) was not only the founding father of Belbaker Bus Charter but was also our first bus driver! Belbaker Bus Charter was initiated as a local business supporting schools and childcare facilities on the Northside of Brisbane. What originated half a century ago as a one-man passion has drastically grown to one of the largest and most diverse bus charter businesses across south-east Queensland. But it didn’t come easy of course.
Starting out with only one bus supporting Northside schools and the childcare community, Mr. Baker nurtured the business throughout the years to make it the success story we know today. From a single bus (can be seen in the Figure below) to currently boasting an impressive fleet with over 60 state-of-the-art award-winning busses in a matter of years, it is evident that Belbaker Bus Charter is one of the most rapidly growing bus services in Queensland. Currently, Belbaker bus charter offers a large range of transportation services ranging from; school and education transport, tour planning, coach hire and charter, transfers and shuttles, luxury coaches, chauffeured executive transport, wedding car hires and more.
For us, it’s more than just a business, that’s why we take pride in what we do. Our fleet is constantly changing with latest and greatest, safe, comfortable and reliable busses with the objective to provide the best bus charter service Brisbane has to offer. Don’t take our word, hear what our trusted clients have to say. “The two and half hour journey was excellent mainly due to the great driving and the clean and comfortable bus. The bus had seat belts for all passengers and the service was. We found our driver to be highly competent and friendly.” – Our Lady Help of Christians School Hendra.
At Belbaker Bus Charter we are constantly raising the bar in the bus transportation industry, having recently expanded to the Gold Coast, there is no stopping Belbaker which is why it truly is “smarter to charter with Belbaker.”
