More About School Buses
Forget trying to squeeze forty kids into a vehicle that wasn't built for comfort, the school bus types available through Charterbusrentaldetroit.com's network are sized to match your group. The Type C large conventional school bus seats approximately 44 to 48 adults, making it the go-to choice for full classrooms, large youth organizations, and sizable community groups heading somewhere like Greenfield Village at The Henry Ford (20900 Oakwood Blvd, Dearborn, MI 48124). School groups check in at Greenfield Village's Ticket Building, so a rented school bus can bring students and chaperones together for arrival.
Smaller groups traveling within Detroit proper can take advantage of Type A mini and Type B small school buses, which seat approximately 10 to 24 adults and are sized for tighter city streets.

How much is a School Bus rental?
Charterbusrentaldetroit.com is how Detroit groups stop guessing and start knowing what their transportation will cost. School bus rental pricing in Detroit runs $205 to $365 per hour on weekdays and $240 to $380 per hour on weekends, with full-day rates ranging from $1,670 to $2,335 per day depending on bus size, provider, and trip details. A Type A or Type B small school bus for a quick field trip to the Detroit Zoo (8450 W 10 Mile Rd, Royal Oak, MI 48067) will land on the lower end of that range, while a full-size Type C conventional bus booked for a full-day charter will naturally sit higher.
