More About School Buses
Two school bus sizes are available through the network, and matching the right one to your headcount makes a real difference on Cambridge's tighter streets. Type A mini and Type B small school buses seat approximately 10–24 adults — compact enough for city streets and venues like the Cambridge Public Library. Need to move a larger group?
Type C large conventional school buses seat approximately 44–48 adults — the right fit for a full class heading to the Harvard Museum of Natural History on Oxford Street or a full-grade field trip across the Charles River into Boston. Depending on the vehicle offered, features may include high-back padded seating, climate control, and a driver for the trip.

Amenities Commonly Found on School Bus Rentals
School Buses Available through the network come with the features that actually matter on a Cambridge field trip day! Depending on the vehicle offered, you may find climate control — critical when a May afternoon heats up fast between the river and Kendall Square — plus high-back padded seating so students have a more comfortable ride. Some vehicles may also offer overhead storage for backpacks and lunch bags, helping keep the aisle clear for easy boarding and exit.
ADA-accessible vehicles with wheelchair lifts may be available through the network on request — just mention it when you fill out your quote. Emergency exits and safety windows are common school-bus features, while driver arrangements vary by vehicle. And because Cambridgecharterbusrentals.com pulls from a large network of independently owned transportation companies, you can compare different models side by side to find the features your group needs!
High-back vinyl bench seating
Large opening windows
Overhead interior lighting
PA/microphone system with AM/FM radio

Under-seat storage for bags and equipment
Amenities listed above are common features that MAY be available on buses. Because we are a referral website and do NOT own or operate buses, exact features vary by vehicle, provider, and availability. After you submit your quote request, you can browse vehicle options, pricing, and available details on the results page.

How much does a School Bus cost to rent?
Cambridge school bus rentals 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 stops you need, and your specific date. A Tuesday morning run from a Cambridge school to the MIT Museum on Main Street prices differently than a Saturday trip across the Longfellow Bridge into Boston during a busy spring weekend.
