What does a School Bus rental cost?
For a school bus rental in Columbus, Ohio, pricing through the network typically runs $205 to $365 per hour on weekdays and $240 to $380 per hour on weekends, with full-day rates ranging from $1,670 to $2,335 depending on the bus size, trip length, and the specific operator. A compact Type A or Type B small school bus rental for a short Columbus field trip will land at a very different price point than a Type C full-size conventional school bus booked for an all-day excursion to COSI Columbus or the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium. School buses unload on Granville T. Woods Blvd. at COSI, while the Zoo directs buses to its marked drop-off zone and then along a marked route to bus parking.
With either Columbus school bus rental, students and chaperones can arrive together at the designated drop-off instead of splitting into separate cars.
