Standard features include bench seating for up to 52 adults or 72 children, front and rear entry doors, powerful heating and ventilation systems, and LED lighting throughout the cabin. Many of our school buses also have PA systems for making announcements, emergency roof hatches, and either tinted or clear windows depending on the model year. If you need something extra—like WiFi, power outlets, or even air conditioning—just ask! We can customize any bus to fit your exact requirements.

Trips and Events in Milford a School Bus Is Great For
School buses are perfect for any event that requires moving a large group of people at the lowest possible cost. They’re commonly used for student transportation to places like the Connecticut Science Center, Discovery Museum, and Beardsley Zoo; athletic team shuttles to games at local high schools or colleges; and field trips to museums, parks, and historical sites. Businesses often use them for employee commuter routes, especially between train stations and office parks. Nonprofits and religious organizations book them for retreats, volunteer projects, and community outreach programs. They’re also great for shuttling wedding guests between venues, transporting runners to the starting line of charity races, or providing last-mile service from remote parking lots during festivals and concerts.

What Colors Are Your School Buses Available In?

Custom wraps are available if you want to display your organization’s logo, team colors, or sponsor advertisements along the side of the bus. This is a popular option for sports teams, corporate shuttles, and special events that require a polished, professional appearance. Let us know what you need, and we’ll match you with a vehicle that fits your vision.
What Amenities Come Standard on Your School Buses?
Standard amenities include vinyl-upholstered bench seats, non-slip flooring, powerful heating systems, LED interior lighting, and a PA system for communicating with passengers. There are no seat belts unless specifically requested, as most states do not require them on full-size school buses. Storage space is limited to under-seat areas and overhead shelves if equipped. Additional features like Wi-Fi, electrical outlets, or air conditioning can be added upon request but may increase the rental cost. The focus is on moving large groups efficiently rather than providing luxury accommodations.
How Much Does a School Bus Rental Cost, and What Factors Change the Price?
School bus rentals in Milford typically cost between $145–$450+ per hour, $1,520–$3,655 per day, or $6.00–$9.95 per mile. The final price depends on several factors including the pickup location, destination, total mileage, and duration of the trip. Additional expenses such as tolls, parking fees at venues, and hotel accommodations for the driver on overnight trips are not included in the base rate and will be billed separately. Rates may be higher during peak seasons like spring break or around major events such as graduations and sports tournaments. To get an accurate quote tailored to your specific itinerary, please call our team or use the online quote tool.
How Does a School Bus Compare to Our Other Bus Types?
Compared to other options in our fleet, school buses offer the highest seating capacity at the lowest price point but come with fewer amenities than minibuses or motorcoaches. They’re ideal for short trips and large groups who prioritize affordability over comfort features like reclining seats, climate control, or onboard entertainment systems. If your budget allows and you’re traveling longer distances, you might consider upgrading to a minibus or charter bus for additional amenities.
How Far in Advance Should I Book a School Bus?
It’s best to reserve your school bus at least 3–6 months in advance, especially if your trip falls during a busy time of year such as spring break, back-to-school season, or around major events like graduations and sports tournaments. Availability can be limited during these peak periods, and booking early ensures you get the exact vehicle you want at the best possible rate. Last-minute reservations are possible but may result in higher prices or fewer options to choose from. Once you have your dates and itinerary finalized, contact us right away to lock in your reservation.
