How much is a School Bus rental?
For most Grand Rapids school groups, school bus rental pricing lands between $205 and $365 per hour on weekdays and $240 to $380 per hour on weekends, while full-day rentals typically run $1,670 to $2,335 per day. Your exact rate depends on the bus type — a compact Type A or Type B model for 10 to 24 passengers versus a full-size Type C conventional bus for 44 to 48 adults — along with your travel date, trip duration, and any specific amenities your group needs. A quick morning run from a Grand Rapids middle school to John Ball Zoo (1300 W Fulton St, Grand Rapids, MI 49504) will land at a very different price point than a full-day round trip to Lansing or Detroit for a state competition.
