Frequently Asked Questions About our School Buses
What Makes and Models Are Your School Buses?
Our fleet features school buses from industry-leading manufacturers such as Blue Bird, Thomas Built Buses, and IC Bus (a division of Navistar). These brands are known for their reliability and ease of maintenance, making them a popular choice for group transportation. Specific models include the Blue Bird Vision, Thomas Saf-T-Liner C2, and IC CE Series, all of which are designed to accommodate large groups comfortably.
Each bus is equipped with either a diesel or gasoline engine, depending on the model year and configuration. The chassis and body construction are built to withstand heavy use, ensuring that your group arrives comfortably at their destination. If you have a preference for a particular brand or model, let us know and we’ll do our best to accommodate your request.
What Colors Are Your School Buses Available In?
While classic yellow is the most common color for school buses, we also offer vehicles in black, white, silver, grey, blue, green, red, and navy to suit the needs of private groups and special events. If you require a specific color to match your organization’s branding or event theme, custom wraps are available for an additional fee. These full-body vinyl wraps can display logos, advertisements, or artwork, turning the bus into a moving billboard.
Custom paint and wrap options are ideal for corporate shuttles, sports team travel, and promotional tours where appearance matters. Please note that customizations require additional lead time and may affect the total cost of the rental.
What Amenities Come Standard on Your School Buses?
Standard amenities on our school buses include bench seating for 44–52 passengers, strong air conditioning and heating systems, and basic lighting throughout the cabin. The interiors are designed for maximum capacity and durability, with either vinyl or cloth upholstery that can withstand heavy use. Most models have a center aisle for easy boarding and disembarking, as well as large side windows that open for ventilation.
Other standard features include rear emergency exits, roof hatches, and either rubber or carpeted floors. While school buses do not come with restrooms, Wi-Fi, or individual power outlets, they are a practical choice for short- to medium-distance trips where affordability and simplicity are the main priorities.
How Much Does a School Bus Rental Cost, and What Factors Change the Price?
Renting a school bus in Marysville typically costs $145–$450+ per hour, $1,520–$3,655 per day, or $6.00–$9.95 per mile depending on the length of your trip and where you’re going. Factors that influence the final price include the total distance traveled, duration of the rental, and whether the trip falls during peak seasons such as spring break, summer vacation, or major local events. Additional expenses like parking fees, tolls, and overnight accommodations for the driver are not included in the base rate and must be covered separately.
To get an accurate quote, contact our team with your exact itinerary and passenger count. We recommend booking early to lock in the best rates, especially if your trip coincides with high-demand periods.
How Does a School Bus Compare to Our Other Bus Types?
Compared to minibuses, party buses, and charter buses, school buses offer the highest seating capacity at the lowest price point but with fewer amenities. They are ideal for short trips and large groups who do not require onboard restrooms, reclining seats, or entertainment systems. Unlike minibuses and party buses, which may feature plush seating, sound systems, and LED lighting, school buses are built for functionality and durability. Charter buses provide more comfort and amenities but at a higher cost.
If your primary concern is moving as many people as possible within a tight budget, a school bus is the best choice. For longer trips or groups needing additional comfort, consider upgrading to a charter bus.
How Far in Advance Should I Book a School Bus?
It’s best to book your school bus at least three to six months in advance to ensure availability and secure the best rates. Demand for bus rentals in Marysville increases significantly during peak seasons such as spring break, summer vacation, and the start of the school year, as well as around major local events like the Strawberry Festival, graduation ceremonies, and regional sports tournaments. Last-minute bookings may face limited options or higher prices due to increased demand.
Planning ahead gives you the widest selection of vehicles and allows time for any special requests or customizations. If you’re coordinating multiple buses or have specific scheduling needs, early booking is especially important. Contact us as soon as you have your event date to get the process started.
