School Bus

Charter Bus Company Lynwood operates one of the largest and most diverse fleets of school buses in California—including multiple makes, models, and sizes to fit any type of trip. Our lineup includes industry-leading vehicles from Blue Bird, Thomas Built Buses, and IC Bus (Navistar)—all backed by strong reputations for durability and performance. We offer both conventional (front-engine) and transit-style (rear-engine) models with seating capacities ranging from 44 to 52 passengers, so you can easily get you a bus that matches the size of your group. Need something specific? Just ask! We can provide exact specs, floor plans, and available options for any bus in our fleet—including ADA-accessible units with wheelchair lifts and custom seating layouts.

Our school buses are available in a wide range of colors—including black, white, silver, grey, blue, green, red, navy, and even custom wraps if you want to brand the bus with your logo or event graphics. The classic yellow school bus is always an option, but many groups prefer something more neutral or bold depending on the occasion. Need matching vehicles for a corporate event or sports team? We can coordinate colors across multiple buses to keep your fleet looking sharp. Just let us know what you need when you call for a quote, and we’ll make sure you get exactly the right color—or combination of colors—for your next trip.

Every school bus comes standard with forward-facing bench seats, either vinyl or cloth upholstery, powerful air conditioning, and heating to keep passengers comfortable in any weather. There’s plenty of overhead lighting, under-seat storage for backpacks and gear, and a PA system for making announcements or leading group activities. Features include high-back seating, seat belts on newer models, emergency roof hatches, and rear exit doors. You’ll also get tinted windows, sturdy handrails, and non-slip flooring throughout the cabin. Need Wi-Fi, power outlets, or something else? Ask about optional upgrades when you request your quote.

School bus rentals in Lynwood typically cost $145–$450+ per hour, $1,520–$3,655 per day, or $6.00–$9.95 per mile. The final price depends on several factors: the length and duration of your trip, the size of the bus, how far it needs to travel, and the time of year. Longer trips and multi-day charters may qualify for discounted daily rates, while short local shuttles are often billed by the hour. Additional costs can include tolls, parking fees, and lodging for the driver on overnight trips. To get an exact quote, call our team with your itinerary—we’ll quickly give you a precise, all-inclusive price before you book.

School buses are the most affordable way to move large groups short distances—perfect for budget-friendly trips around town, campus shuttles, or moving fans to a game. They seat up to 47 people, have basic bench seating, and are easy to load and unload. Need something with more comfort? Our minibuses hold 18– 35 passengers and offer padded seats, A/C, and optional Wi-Fi—great for corporate outings or airport transfers. For longer trips or groups who want extra amenities, a charter bus seats up to 56 and includes reclining seats, restrooms, video screens, and luggage bays. We also offer party buses with wraparound seating and sound systems, plus sprinter vans for small groups up to 15. Whatever you need, we have a vehicle that fits your budget and your trip.

We recommend booking your school bus rental at least three to six months in advance to ensure the best availability and pricing—especially if your trip falls during peak travel times like spring break, summer vacation, or the back-to-school season. In Lynwood and the greater Los Angeles area, buses can book up quickly due to high demand from local schools, sporting events, and community festivals. If you’re planning a trip that overlaps with major events—like graduations, proms, or large-scale athletic competitions—it’s even more important to reserve early. Last-minute rentals are possible, but your options may be limited and prices could be higher. Once you have your trip dates and headcount, call us right away to lock in your reservation.
