More About School Buses
School Buses Available through the network come in several configurations, so your headcount drives the decision. Type A mini and Type B small school buses seat approximately 10–24 adults — compact enough to pull cleanly into the loop at Living Coast Discovery Center (1000 Gunpowder Point Dr, Chula Vista, CA 91910) or navigate the parking approach on Heritage Road near the Chula Vista Elite Athlete Training Center without an oversized-vehicle headache. Need to move a larger group?
Type C large conventional school buses seat approximately 44–48 adults and give every student a seat with room to spare, making them the go-to for full-class field trips across San Diego County. Because Chulavistacharterbusrentals.com pulls from a large network of transportation providers, you're never limited to whatever one operator has left on the lot — compare bus sizes, photos, and pricing side by side in one place!

Common Amenities Available on School Bus Rentals
School buses in the network are built for safe, comfortable group travel — and the amenities reflect it. Every model comes with high-backed padded bench seating, climate control to handle the difference between a cool Chula Vista morning and a warm afternoon returning from Tecolote Shores Park, and overhead emergency exits that meet California school bus safety standards. Larger Type C models include underfloor storage compartments for backpacks, equipment bags, and lunch boxes so the aisle stays clear throughout the ride.
ADA-accessible school buses with wheelchair lifts and tie-down systems are available through the network — just mention it when you submit your quote. Your students ride comfortably; your chaperones ride stress-free. That's the whole idea!

How much is a School Bus rental?
School bus rentals in Chula Vista cost $205–$365 per hour on weekdays, $240–$380 per hour on weekends, and $1,670–$2,335 per day. A Tuesday morning run from Bonita Vista Middle School down to the USS Midway Museum in downtown San Diego prices differently than a Saturday field trip during spring break, when demand across San Diego County peaks. Spring field trip season — March through May — fills fast, and so do graduation-week shuttles in June.
