More About School Buses
School buses come in a few different sizes, and knowing which one fits your group before you fill out the quote form saves you time. Type A mini and Type B small school buses seat approximately 10–24 adults — a great fit for a smaller field trip group heading to the Pasadena Museum of History on West Walnut Street, or a youth group shuttling between stops along Colorado Boulevard without needing a full-size vehicle. Type C large conventional school buses seat approximately 44–48 adults, which is the right call when your headcount is large and you need everyone on one bus.
Because Pasadenacacharterbusrentals.com pulls from a large network of independently owned transportation companies serving Pasadena, you can compare both sizes side by side and match the bus to your actual passenger count — not the other way around!

What’s Typically Included on School Bus Rentals
School buses keep things practical, and that's exactly what makes them work so well for field trips, youth group outings, and educational travel across the San Gabriel Valley. Every model comes with high-back padded bench seating and a center aisle wide enough to load and unload students quickly at busy drop-off zones like the one outside the Norton Simon Museum on West Colorado Boulevard. You'll also find climate control to handle Pasadena's hot summer afternoons when temperatures push past 90°F, overhead emergency exits, and undercarriage storage on select models for gear, bags, and equipment.
ADA-accessible school buses with wheelchair lifts are available through the network — just mention it when you submit your quote!
High-back vinyl bench seating
Large opening windows
Overhead interior lighting

What does a School Bus rental cost?
School bus rentals in Pasadena 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 many hours you need it, and when your trip falls on the calendar. A Saturday field trip to the Kidspace Children's Museum on North Arroyo Boulevard prices differently than a Tuesday morning run down the 210 Freeway to a regional tournament — and Rose Parade weekend in early January, Doo Dah Parade dates, and Rose Bowl Game Saturdays tighten availability across the whole Pasadena market fast.
