More About School Buses
We connect Detroit-area groups with two primary school bus types through the network, so you can compare bus sizes to find the right fit for your group. The Type C large conventional school bus seats approximately 44 to 48 adults, making it ideal for full classrooms, large youth groups, or multi-team athletic travel across metro Detroit. Need something more compact?
Type A mini and Type B small school buses seat approximately 10 to 24 adults — a smart, right-sized choice for smaller groups heading to Cranbrook Educational Community (39221 Woodward Ave, Bloomfield Hills, MI 48304) or a quick cross-town transfer. Because Charterbusrentaldetroitmi.com works with a large network of independently owned bus companies, you can compare buses from more than one fleet. Compare your options, view example photos, and choose the school bus that works for YOUR group!

How much does a School Bus cost to rent?
If you're wondering what a school bus rental in Detroit will run you, here are the listed rates: weekday rates range from $205 to $365 per hour, weekend rates run $240 to $380 per hour, and full-day rentals are priced at $1,670 to $2,335 per day. Your final cost depends on your group size, the bus type, how far you're traveling, and the time of year you're booking. A Type A mini school bus for a small group heading to the Detroit Zoo (8450 W 10 Mile Rd, Royal Oak, MI 48067) will price out very differently than a full-size Type C conventional school bus shuttling 48 students to a tournament downstate.
Buses enter through the West 10 Mile Road parking-lot entrance, continue straight, then turn left into the large lot, where Zoo staff direct drop-off and bus parking. Bus parking costs $12 per vehicle, which isn't included in your free price quote (Detroit Zoo bus parking). Your group can arrive together and follow staff directions for unloading.
