More About School Buses
School buses available through the network come in two main configurations, and the right one depends entirely on your headcount. Type A mini and Type B small school buses seat approximately 10–24 adults — perfect for smaller student groups heading to the Children's Museum of Acadiana at 201 E. Congress Street or a science lab visit at UL Lafayette's Cajundome Boulevard campus. Need to move a full class?
A Type C large conventional school bus seats approximately 44–48 adults, giving you enough room for students, chaperones, and backpacks without squeezing anyone in. Because Lafayettecharterbusrentals.com pulls from a large network of independently owned transportation companies, you're never stuck with whatever one operator happens to have sitting in a lot — compare both types side by side and find the right fit!

Photos are examples only and may show stock or typical vehicles, not the exact vehicle offered for your reservation.

Common Amenities Available on School Bus Rentals
School buses available through the network are built around the one thing field trips actually need: keeping every student accounted for in one climate-controlled ride. Depending on the vehicle offered, amenities may include air conditioning so the August heat on Ambassador Caffery Parkway doesn't turn a Vermilionville field trip into a sweaty ordeal before you even arrive. High-back padded seating can keep riders comfortable across longer runs down I-10 toward Baton Rouge or south toward the Atchafalaya Basin.
Vehicles may also include emergency exits, stop-arm safety systems, and flashing warning lights; confirm the features of the vehicle offered. ADA-accessible vehicles with wheelchair lifts may be available through the network — just mention it when you request your quote so the right bus can be matched to your group from the start!
High-back vinyl bench seating

Amenities listed above are common features that MAY be available on buses. Because we are a referral website and do NOT own or operate buses, exact features vary by vehicle, provider, and availability. After you submit your quote request, you can browse vehicle options, pricing, and available details on the results page.

What does a School Bus rental cost?
School bus rentals in Lafayette cost $205–$365 per hour on weekdays, $240–$380 per hour on weekends, and $1,670–$2,335 per day. Your actual estimate can fall within those ranges based on your bus size, how many hours you need it, and your specific pickup location — a half-day Type A run from Carencro High School to the University of Louisiana at Lafayette Science Museum at 433 Jefferson Street prices differently than a full-day Type C charter rolling down US-90 toward New Iberia. Field trip dates can fill quickly across Lafayette Parish schools, so the sooner you lock in your date, the better your options.
