Frequently Asked Questions About our School Buses
What Makes and Models Are Your School Buses?
Charter Bus Company Madera offers school buses from all the top manufacturers in the industry, including Blue Bird, Thomas Built Buses, and IC Bus (Navistar). Our fleet includes both conventional and transit-style models with seating capacities ranging from 44 to 77 passengers. We have brand-new and late-model units available, so you can get a vehicle that meets your exact specifications. If you need a specific make, model, or year, just ask—we’ll do our best to accommodate your request.
What Colors Are Your School Buses Available In?
Our school buses are available in a variety of colors to suit any type of event or branding requirement. Standard options include black, white, silver, grey, blue, green, red, and navy. We can also provide custom wraps with your logo, mascot, or advertising message for an additional fee. If you need a specific color that isn’t listed here, let us know—we may be able to source it from our network of affiliate partners.
What Amenities Come Standard on Your School Buses?
Every school bus rental includes forward-facing bench seats upholstered in either vinyl or cloth, powerful front and rear HVAC for cooling/heating, LED interior lighting, PA system with driver mic, Bluetooth/FM/AM audio input, and optional exterior color choice (yellow, white, black, silver, custom wrap). Additional options include roof hatches, strobe lights, luggage racks, underfloor storage, WiFi, USB charging ports, and rear/lift doors. We also offer ADA-accessible buses with wheelchair lifts and can provide pre/post-trip inspections upon request.
How Much Does a School Bus Rental Cost, and What Factors Change the Price?
School bus rental rates start at $145–$450+ per hour, $1,520–$3,655 per day, or $6.00–$9.95 per mile depending on trip length, location, and availability. Your quote includes the bus, driver, fuel, and standard gratuity but does not cover tolls, parking fees, or hotel/lodging for overnight trips. Additional charges may apply for special equipment, custom branding, or last-minute changes. To get an exact price, call us with your itinerary and we’ll give you an all-inclusive quote in minutes.
How Does a School Bus Compare to Our Other Bus Types?
School buses are the most affordable way to move large groups short distances, but they don’t have the reclining seats, restrooms, or luggage bays you’d find on a charter bus. They’re perfect for local shuttles, field trips, and budget-conscious travelers who just need basic transportation. If you want something with more comfort and amenities, upgrade to a minibus or full-size charter bus instead.
How Far in Advance Should I Book a School Bus?
We recommend booking your school bus rental at least 3–6 months in advance to ensure availability and get the best rates. Spring and fall are especially busy due to field trips, sports events, and graduations, so it’s important to reserve early if you’re traveling during peak season. Last-minute rentals are possible but may be subject to higher prices and limited vehicle selection. Once you have your trip details finalized, contact us as soon as possible to lock in your reservation.
