More About School Buses
It just got easier to find the right school bus for your group in Bakersfield! Through the network, you can compare two primary school bus types depending on your headcount and your trip. Type A mini and Type B small school buses seat approximately 10–24 adults and are a great pick for smaller groups, tight campus drop-off zones, and routes through Bakersfield's residential neighborhoods where a full-size bus would be a challenge.
Type C large conventional school buses seat approximately 44–48 adults and are the workhorse choice for bigger groups heading to venues like Dignity Health Arena (1001 Truxtun Ave, Bakersfield, CA 93301) or destinations further out across Kern County. Fill out one quick form to compare available school buses from a network of transportation companies serving Bakersfield and find the size that fits your group perfectly!

Common Amenities Available on School Bus Rentals
Moving your group comfortably across Bakersfield is the whole point, and the school buses available through the network come with the features that make every trip run smoothly! Depending on the model, you can find buses equipped with air conditioning and climate control — a must on a hot Central Valley afternoon — along with overhead storage for backpacks, gear bags, and personal items. Many models include padded high-back seating so every passenger has a comfortable spot for the ride, and large windows keep the cabin bright and easy to monitor for chaperones and group leaders.
ADA-accessible school buses with wheelchair lifts and wider aisles are available through the network too — just mention it when you request your quote! Because you are comparing buses from a large network of independently owned transportation companies, you have many options to choose from instead of settling for whatever one fleet happens to have available.

How much does a School Bus cost?
A school bus rental in Bakersfield, California costs $205–$365 per hour on weekdays, $240–$380 per hour on weekends, and $1,670–$2,335 per day. Where your trip lands inside those ranges depends on a handful of factors — the size of the bus you need, your pickup location, how many stops are on the itinerary, the time of year, and the specific date. A Type A or Type B small school bus for a shorter weekday run will price differently than a full Type C conventional school bus booked for a Saturday tournament in the Central Valley.
