More About School Buses
School buses in the network come in two distinct size categories, and picking the right one for your headcount matters before you even think about the route. Type A mini and Type B small school buses seat approximately 10–24 adults — compact enough to navigate the tight turn onto Trumbull Street near the Yale School of Medicine or pull cleanly into the drop-off lane at Cooperative Arts & Humanities High School on College Street without holding up traffic. Need to move a bigger group?
Type C large conventional school buses seat approximately 44–48 adults — the right call for a full grade-level trip to Lighthouse Point Park or a multi-school event at Quinnipiac University in Hamden. Compare both side by side through the network and match the vehicle to your actual passenger count!

Amenities Commonly Found on School Bus Rentals
School Buses Available through the network are built around the practical needs of student groups — and that means features your chaperones and teachers will genuinely appreciate on a New Haven field trip. Every model includes high-back padded bench seating with a center aisle wide enough for easy boarding and exit, plus climate control to keep the cabin comfortable whether you're loading up on a cold January morning near Edgewood Park or heading out on a warm May afternoon. Emergency exits, flashing safety lights, and crossing arms come standard.
Overhead storage handles backpacks and lunch bags without cluttering the aisle. ADA-accessible school buses with wheelchair lifts are available through the network on request — just mention it when you fill out your quote!

How much is a School Bus rental?
School bus rentals in New Haven 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, the date, and your specific route — a Tuesday morning run from Hillhouse High School on Sherman Parkway to the Yale Center for British Art on Chapel Street prices differently than a Saturday all-day charter heading up I-91 to Six Flags New England. Spring field trip season across New Haven Public Schools fills the calendar fast, so the earlier you lock in your date, the better your options and pricing.
