School Bus

Our fleet includes school buses from leading manufacturers like Blue Bird, Thomas Built Buses, and IC Bus (Navistar). Specific models include the Blue Bird Vision, Thomas Saf-T-Liner C2, and IC CE Series. These are some of the most popular and widely used school buses in the industry, known for their reliability, ease of maintenance, and parts availability. Body lengths range from 71-passenger full-length models down to mid-size 47-passenger units, so we can match the right bus to your exact headcount. If you have a preference for a specific manufacturer or model, let us know—we’re happy to accommodate requests when possible.

We offer school buses in a variety of colors to suit any occasion or branding requirement. Our standard fleet includes classic yellow, as well as white, black, silver, grey, blue, green, red, and navy. If you need something custom, we can provide buses with full wraps or custom paint jobs for an additional fee. This is a great option for corporate events, movie productions, or anyone who wants a vehicle that stands out from the crowd. Just let us know what you’re looking for, and we’ll match you with a bus that fits your vision.

Standard amenities on our school buses include forward-facing bench seats with vinyl upholstery, front and rear heating and air conditioning, LED interior lighting, and a public address (PA) system for communicating with passengers. There are multiple emergency exits including roof hatches, side windows, and a rear door, as well as either a single or double entry door at the front. Floors are covered with either rubber or vinyl for easy cleaning, and windows are either tinted or clear depending on the model. Additional features include 12V power outlets, USB charging ports, and overhead lights. These buses are built for durability and ease of use, making them a reliable choice for any group.

School bus rental pricing in Mount Laurel typically ranges from $145–$450+ per hour, $1,520–$3,655 per day, or $6.00–$9.95 per mile. Final costs depend on several key factors: the exact pickup location, total mileage, duration of the trip, time of year, and specific vehicle selected. Trips requiring an overnight stay will incur additional charges for the driver’s hotel room. Large events or peak season dates (such as spring sports championships, summer camp start/end days, or fall wedding weekends) may have higher rates due to increased demand. Destinations outside the local service area (e.g., a day trip from Mount Laurel to Washington, D.C. or New York City) will be priced higher to account for extra miles and hours.

Your quote will always include gratuity for the driver but does not cover parking fees at your destination, tolls accrued during the trip, or lodging for the driver if an overnight is required—these will either be added to the final invoice or handled separately by the customer. Because every itinerary is different, the best way to get an exact price is to call us with your full schedule so we can provide a custom quote that covers everything.

School buses are the most budget-friendly option in our fleet and are ideal for short to medium trips where basic transportation is the priority. Unlike sprinter vans or minibuses, school buses can seat up to 54 passengers, making them perfect for moving large groups without having to book multiple vehicles. They do not have restrooms, reclining seats, or onboard entertainment systems like a full-size charter bus, but they are significantly less expensive to rent. If you need something with more luggage space, A/V equipment, or plush seating, you may want to consider upgrading to a minibus or motorcoach. However, for local shuttles, field trips, or any situation where cost is a major factor, a school bus gets the job done efficiently.

You should book your school bus rental at least 3–6 months in advance to guarantee the best selection and pricing—especially if your trip falls during peak season or overlaps with major local events. In Mount Laurel, spring and fall are extremely busy due to overlapping school field trips, youth sports tournaments, and wedding shuttles across Burlington and Camden counties. Summer months see high demand from camps and city recreation programs, while winter availability can tighten around holiday events or rescheduled functions. If you’re traveling out of town—like a band competition in Allentown or a museum trip to Philadelphia—you’ll be competing for buses with other regional groups, so earlier is always better. Last-minute bookings (less than four weeks out) may face limited inventory and higher prices, but we will always do our best to accommodate your request. Once you have your date and headcount, call us right away to lock in a vehicle. A reservation isn’t fully secured until the deposit is paid and the contract is signed.
