School Bus

Our Monterey Park school bus fleet features industry-leading manufacturers such as Blue Bird, Thomas Built Buses, and IC Bus (a division of Navistar). Specific models include the Blue Bird Vision, Thomas Saf-T-Liner C2, and IC CE Series, all of which are renowned for their durability, passenger capacity, and ease of maintenance. These buses are built on robust chassis platforms like Freightliner, International, and proprietary Blue Bird frames, ensuring excellent ride quality and long-term reliability. Each model offers slightly different interior layouts and feature sets, but all meet the same high standards for safety and performance. If you have a preference for a particular make or model, let us know—we’re happy to accommodate specific requests whenever possible.

We offer school buses in a variety of colors to suit any event or organizational need. Standard options include traditional yellow, as well as black, white, silver, grey, blue, green, red, and navy. If you’re looking for something unique, we also provide custom wraps so you can display your team logo, company branding, or special graphics for parades and promotional events. Whether you want a classic look or something that stands out, we have the right color option for you. Custom wraps are a great choice for high-profile events and can be tailored to match any design specifications.

Every school bus in our Monterey Park fleet comes standard with forward-facing bench seats, powerful air conditioning, and a basic PA system for onboard communication. The seating is durable vinyl or cloth upholstery, designed to withstand heavy use while remaining comfortable for short- to mid-range trips. Lighting includes LED fixtures along the ceiling and step-well, providing clear visibility during early morning or nighttime operations. While there are no overhead luggage racks or under-floor storage bays, the open floor plan allows for flexible seating arrangements if you need to leave room for extra gear. Additional amenities like WiFi hotspots, power outlets, or custom branding can be added upon request. If you need ADA accessibility, we have buses equipped with rear or side-entry wheelchair lifts and designated securement areas.

School bus rental pricing in Monterey Park typically ranges from $145 to $450+ per hour, $1,520 to $3,655 per day, or $6.00 to $9.95 per mile. Your quote will include the vehicle, driver, gratuity, and standard mileage, but does not cover parking passes at venues (which you’ll need to purchase separately), tolls, or hotel accommodations for the driver on overnight trips. Final rates depend on the exact pickup location, destination, total mileage, duration of the event, and time of year—peak seasons like spring field trips or fall sports will be on the higher end. The best way to get an accurate quote is to call our team with your full itinerary; we’ll run the numbers based on current availability and give you a precise estimate over the phone in less than 30 seconds! School bus rentals are one of the most budget-friendly options available, making them ideal for local shuttles, one-way transfers, and any event where controlling costs is a priority.

School buses are the most affordable and practical option in our Monterey Park fleet, ideal for moving large groups over short to medium distances when luxury features aren’t required. Compared to minibuses and sprinter vans, school buses offer significantly higher passenger capacity—typically 44 to 47 adults—at a lower cost per seat, making them perfect for budget-conscious events like field trips, construction crew shuttles, or volunteer transportation. Unlike minibuses, which may include amenities such as reclining seats, individual lighting, and luggage racks, school buses have fixed bench seating and limited storage, prioritizing simplicity and ease of use.

For long-distance travel or occasions where comfort is a priority—such as corporate outings, weddings, or sports team charters—a full-size motorcoach is a better choice due to its plush seating, climate control, entertainment systems, and onboard restroom. However, school buses excel in quick-loading situations and repeated short runs because of their straightforward interior layout and fast boarding times. If you need to move hundreds of people across town efficiently without extra frills, a school bus delivers unmatched value and reliability.

You should book your school bus rental in Monterey Park at least three to six months in advance, especially if your trip falls during peak seasons such as spring field trips, summer camp sessions, or fall sports events. Los Angeles County is a high-demand area with frequent large-scale events, so the best way to guarantee availability and lock in the lowest rates is to reserve your bus as early as possible. Last-minute bookings can sometimes be accommodated, but options may be limited and prices will likely be higher. Once you have your event date and rough headcount, call us to get a quote and secure your vehicle with a deposit. The earlier you book, the more choices you’ll have regarding fleet, amenities, and exact pickup times. This also gives you ample time to finalize itineraries, request any special features like custom wraps or ADA lifts, and handle all necessary paperwork without feeling rushed.
