More About School Buses
The school buses available through Charterbusrentalerie.com's network come in two main configurations, and knowing the difference helps you pick the right fit the first time. Type A mini and Type B small school buses seat approximately 10–24 adults... a smart, nimble choice for smaller groups heading to destinations like the Erie Zoo (423 W 38th St, Erie, PA 16508) or the Tom Ridge Environmental Center (301 Peninsula Dr, Erie, PA 16505). The zoo's school field trip rate needs at least 15 paying people and a group reservation sent at least 2 weeks ahead, so a class that fills a Type A bus can ride in together and walk through the gate as one group.
Need to move a larger crowd? A Type C large conventional school bus seats approximately 44–48 adults, with plenty of room for a full classroom, a youth orchestra, or an entire athletic roster heading to a tournament across Pennsylvania.

How much does a School Bus cost to rent?
School bus rentals in Erie, Pennsylvania typically run $205 to $365 per hour on weekdays, $240 to $380 per hour on weekends, or $1,670 to $2,335 per day for full-day trips to destinations like Presque Isle State Park or multi-stop tours around the cities we serve across western Pennsylvania. The park asks school groups to schedule its environmental education programs at least three months ahead because dates fill quickly, and once that date is set, the whole class rides out on PA 832 together on one bus.
