More About School Buses
School buses come in a few different sizes, and through the network, you'll find options that fit your exact headcount. Type A mini and Type B small school buses seat approximately 10–24 adults — perfect for a smaller student group heading to Como Park Zoo & Conservatory on Kaufman Drive or a youth choir traveling across town to a performance at the Ordway Center for the Performing Arts on Washington Street. Need more room?
Type C large conventional school buses seat approximately 44–48 adults, making them ideal for full-class field trips to the Minnesota History Center on John Ireland Boulevard or a full youth league traveling together. You get the right size, not just whatever one company has sitting in its lot!

What’s Typically Included on School Bus Rentals
School Buses Available through the network come with the features that matter most for student and group travel. Every model includes high-back padded bench seating, climate control — critical on a January morning when temperatures along the Mississippi River bluffs drop well below zero — and overhead emergency exits for safety compliance on every run. Larger Type C conventional models add underfloor storage compartments for instrument cases, duffel bags, and equipment.
ADA-accessible school buses with wheelchair lifts are available through the network on request — just mention it when you fill out your quote. Whether your group needs a compact Type A or a full-size Type C, you'll find options with the right configuration for your passengers!

What does a School Bus rental cost?
School bus rentals in St. Paul cost $205–$365 per hour on weekdays, $240–$380 per hour on weekends, and $1,670–$2,335 per day. Your actual number depends on the bus size, how long you need it, and when you're traveling.
