More About School Buses
Not every group trip out of Yakima needs the same vehicle — and that's the whole point. Through the network, you'll find Type A mini and Type B small school buses seating approximately 10–24 adults, which are compact enough to navigate the tighter drop-off loops at schools along North 16th Avenue or pull cleanly into loading zones at venues like the Yakima Valley Libraries on North 3rd Street. Need more room?
Type C large conventional school buses seat approximately 44–48 adults, giving you the capacity to move an entire grade level in one trip instead of staggering arrivals. Compare both sizes side by side through one form — no account needed, No waiting for callbacks to get pricing!

What’s Typically Included on School Bus Rentals
School Buses Available through the network come with the features that actually matter on a Yakima group trip. High-back padded seating keeps students comfortable whether you're crossing town to Gilbert Park or heading west on I-82 toward Ellensburg for a regional tournament. Climate control handles the wide temperature swings the Yakima Valley is known for — triple-digit August afternoons and cold March mornings are both covered.
Overhead and under-seat storage handles backpacks, lunch bags, and science project materials without cluttering the aisle. ADA-accessible vehicles with wheelchair lifts are available through the network on request — just mention it when you fill out your quote!
High-back vinyl bench seating
Large opening windows
Overhead interior lighting
PA/microphone system with AM/FM radio
Air conditioning on select vehicles
Under-seat storage for bags and equipment

How much does a School Bus cost to rent?
School bus rental prices in Yakima run $205–$365 per hour on weekdays, $240–$380 per hour on weekends, and $1,670–$2,335 per day.
