Frequently Asked Questions About our School Buses
What Makes and Models Are Your School Buses?
Charter Bus Company Kenner offers school buses from the top manufacturers in the industry, including Blue Bird, Thomas Built Buses, and IC Bus (Navistar). These are the same trusted brands used by school districts and transportation departments across the country, known for their durability and reliability. Our fleet includes both conventional and transit-style models, with seating capacities ranging from 44 to 77 passengers—so you can get exactly the size and configuration that fits your group. Every bus is built on a heavy-duty chassis with a powerful diesel or gasoline engine, advanced braking systems, and reinforced body construction for maximum passenger protection. When you book with Charter Bus Company Kenner, you’re getting a quality vehicle backed by 24/7 support and decades of industry experience.
What Colors Are Your School Buses Available In?
We offer school buses in a variety of colors to match your event, organization, or personal preference. Standard options include black, white, silver, grey, blue, green, red, and navy. If you need something special, we can also provide custom wraps with your logo, branding, or any design you choose. Just let us know what you need, and we’ll make it happen. Our goal is to give you a bus that looks great and fits your exact specifications.
What Amenities Come Standard on Your School Buses?
Every school bus comes standard with forward-facing bench seats covered in durable vinyl upholstery, powerful heating and air conditioning systems to keep passengers comfortable in any weather, and a full-length center aisle for easy boarding and exiting. There are overhead grab rails for safety, LED interior lighting, and either a front or rear emergency exit door depending on the model. While storage space is limited, there’s room at the back of the bus for backpacks or small equipment bags, and larger items can be placed in the rear seating area if needed. Optional upgrades include a PA system for making announcements, Wi-Fi connectivity, and 110V/USB power outlets at select seats. If you require something specific, just ask—we’ll do our best to accommodate any request.
How Much Does a School Bus Rental Cost, and What Factors Change the Price?
School bus rentals typically cost between $145 and $450+ per hour, $1,520 to $3,655 per day, or $6.00 to $9.95 per mile, depending on the length and duration of your trip. Short local trips are usually billed by the hour, while longer charters are priced by the day or mile. Factors that affect the price include the size of the bus, the distance traveled, the number of days required, and any additional services such as tolls, parking fees, or overnight accommodations for the driver. Gratuity is included in your quote, but venue parking passes, tolls, and driver hotels on overnight trips are not. For the most accurate pricing, call our team with your exact itinerary and we’ll give you an instant quote.
How Does a School Bus Compare to Our Other Bus Types?
A school bus rental in Kenner is the most affordable way to move a large group of people short distances around town, making it ideal for budget-conscious customers who need reliable transportation without any frills. Unlike minibuses or charter buses, which come with individual upholstered seats, optional seat belts, and amenities like Wi-Fi and power outlets, a school bus rental in Kenner offers basic bench seating, limited storage space, and no onboard restroom. This makes them perfect for shuttling students to and from school, transporting workers to job sites, or moving guests between venues at a wedding or corporate event. If you need something more comfortable for a longer trip, consider upgrading to a minibus or full-size charter bus instead.
How Far in Advance Should I Book a School Bus?
It’s best to book your school bus rental at least three to six months in advance, especially if you’re traveling during a busy time of year like spring break, summer vacation, or the holiday season. Buses tend to fill up quickly around major events and holidays, so the earlier you make your reservation, the better chance you’ll have of getting the vehicle you want at a price you can afford. If you’re planning a trip with special requirements—such as multiple pickups and drop-offs, an out-of-state destination, or a vehicle with ADA accessibility—it’s even more important to reserve your bus as soon as possible. Last-minute bookings are sometimes available, but options may be limited and prices may be higher.
