More About School Buses
Not every school group is the same size, and the school Buses Available through the network reflect that! Type A mini and Type B small school buses seat approximately 10–24 adults, making them a great pick for smaller classes, after-school activity groups, or specialty programs that don't need a full-size coach. They're compact enough to navigate tight drop-off loops at venues like the Adventure Science Center at 800 Fort Negley Blvd. without the oversized-vehicle headaches that come with a larger coach.
Need to move a bigger group? Type C large conventional school buses seat approximately 44–48 adults and give every student a proper seat for the ride to Nashville Zoo at Grassmere at 3777 Nolensville Pike. Why limit yourself to whatever one company has sitting in its lot?

What’s Typically Included on School Bus Rentals
The school buses available through the network can come with features that matter on a Nashville field trip! Depending on the vehicle, a school bus may include climate control — critical when a late-May trip to the Frist Art Museum on Broadway lands on a 90-degree afternoon, or when an October run out to Montgomery Bell State Park in Dickson County turns cold fast. High-back padded seats can help keep students comfortable on longer rides, and emergency exits and safety equipment are required under Tennessee school bus specifications.
ADA-accessible school buses with wheelchair lifts may be available on request through the network — just mention it when you fill out your quote. Some vehicles may also offer overhead storage for backpacks, lunch bags, and jackets so the aisle stays clear. Whatever your group needs, mention any special requests when you call 615-621-5900 or submit your quote online!

How much does a School Bus cost to rent?
School bus rentals in Nashville cost $205–$365 per hour on weekdays, $240–$380 per hour on weekends, and $1,670–$2,335 per day depending on the vehicle size, the date, and your specific itinerary.

John Lewis Way South prices differently than a Saturday all-day charter out to Radnor Lake State Park at 1160 Otter Creek Road.
For spring field trips, earlier requests may give you more options. No need to wait on callbacks or call five companies to compare! Enter your date, group size, and pickup location using our incredibly easy online quote tool and you'll have a quote estimate in under 30 seconds — no account needed.
