School Bus

Our fleet includes industry-leading models like the Blue Bird Vision, Blue Bird All American FE/RE, Thomas Built Saf-T-Liner C2, Thomas Built Saf-T-Liner HDX, IC Bus CE Series, and IC Bus RE Series—all known for their durability, safety features, and ease of maintenance. These are the same heavy-duty buses used by public school districts across Georgia, built on either front-engine or rear-engine chassis with robust diesel or gasoline powertrains. We can provide specific model years and configurations based on your exact needs, including ADA-compliant lifts if required.

While traditional yellow is the most common choice for school bus rentals, we also offer options in white, black, silver, grey, blue, green, red, and navy to suit different preferences or branding requirements. Custom vinyl wraps are available for corporate shuttles, political campaigns, or film production shoots—allowing you to turn the entire vehicle into a rolling billboard if desired. Let us know if you have a specific color request, and we’ll match it.

Standard features include high-back bench seats upholstered in vinyl or fabric, powerful dual-zone HVAC (with both heat and A/C), a driver-operated PA microphone, interior LED lighting, emergency roof hatches, multiple side exits, and either rubber or composite flooring for easy cleanup. Most units have basic 2-way radios or can be fitted with temporary WiFi routers for longer jobs. There are no overhead luggage racks or underfloor storage compartments—these are single-level interiors optimized for maximum headcount and rapid boarding.

Rates for renting a school bus in Marietta typically range from $145 to $450+ per hour, $1,520 to $3,655 per day, or $6.00 to $9.95 per mile, depending on factors such as total distance, duration, number of stops, time of year, and exact pickup/drop-off locations. High-demand periods like back-to-school season, spring break, or major sporting events may result in higher prices due to limited availability. Additional charges may apply for deadhead mileage (if the bus has to return empty), extended wait times, or special permits required by certain venues. To get an accurate quote tailored to your specific itinerary, contact us with all trip details—including addresses, schedule, and group size—and we’ll provide a firm estimate upfront.

Compared to minibuses and full-size charter buses, school buses offer the highest passenger capacity at the lowest cost but with fewer amenities. There’s no climate control, restroom, reclining seats, or entertainment system—just simple, rugged seating and open floor space. Minibuses are smaller (15-35 seats) but include A/C and padded seats, while charter buses (up to 56 seats) have full luxury features for long-distance travel. Choose a school bus when you need maximum headcount and minimum expense; upgrade to a coach if comfort or baggage storage is a priority.

We recommend booking your school bus at least 3-6 months in advance—especially if your trip falls during peak seasons like spring break, summer camp, or the start of the academic year. Availability can tighten quickly when multiple districts or organizations are running simultaneous events, so locking in your reservation early ensures the best selection and rates. Last-minute requests can sometimes be accommodated, but may face limited inventory or higher pricing due to demand. Always reserve as soon as your dates are confirmed to avoid scheduling conflicts and secure the exact vehicle you need.
