More About School Buses
School buses in the network come in two main configurations depending on your headcount. Type A mini and Type B small school buses seat approximately 10–24 adults, making them a natural fit for a smaller classroom heading to the Ann Arbor Hands-On Museum at 220 East Ann Street or a tight pickup loop through the neighborhoods around Thurston Elementary. Need to move a bigger group?
Type C large conventional school buses seat approximately 44–48 adults, which covers a full grade level heading to Matthaei Botanical Gardens at 1800 N Dixboro Road without splitting into two vehicles. Because Annarborcharterbusrentals.com pulls from a large network of independently owned transportation companies, you can compare both sizes side by side and match the bus to your actual headcount instead of the other way around.

Common School Bus Amenities to Compare
School buses in the network are built around one job: keeping every student accounted for and comfortable from the first pickup to the last drop-off. Many models include high-back padded seating and climate control, while emergency exits are required to meet federal school bus safety standards. Backpacks and lunch bags can be kept clear of the aisle, depending on the vehicle.
Many models in the network include ADA-accessible features like wheelchair lifts and wider aisle clearance — just mention it when you fill out your quote and the results will reflect what's available. Whether you're running one field trip or a full week of daily routes across Ann Arbor Public Schools, the right bus is in the network!

How much does a School Bus cost?
School bus rentals in Ann Arbor cost $205–$365 per hour on weekdays, $240–$380 per hour on weekends, and $1,670–$2,335 per day. A Tuesday morning field trip to the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Library at 1000 Beal Avenue prices differently than a Saturday all-day run to a regional tournament in Lansing. Ann Arbor's calendar has its own pressure points too — 2026 University of Michigan home football Saturdays at Michigan Stadium include September 5, September 12, September 19, September 26, October 17, October 24, November 7, and November 21, tightening availability across the whole Washtenaw County market fast.
