School Bus

Our fleet includes school buses from the most trusted manufacturers in the industry: Blue Bird, Thomas Built Buses, and IC Bus (a division of Navistar). These are full-size, “Type C” and “Type D” buses built on Freightliner, International, or proprietary chassis, with seating capacities ranging from 44 to 72 passengers depending on the exact model and interior configuration. You’ll recognize names like Blue Bird Vision, Thomas Saf-T-Liner C2, and IC CE Series—all known for their durability, ease of maintenance, and ability to handle long-distance charters. If you’re looking for a specific make or need matching buses for a large event, let us know—we can accommodate special requests and provide multiple units of the same type when available.

School bus rental prices in Mooresville typically range from $145–$450+ per hour, $1,520–$3,655 per day, or $6.00–$9.95 per mile. Final pricing depends on several factors including the exact pickup location, total mileage, number of days/hours required, and current vehicle availability. Trips during peak season (spring/fall), holidays, or large local events may cost more due to increased demand. Your quote will include gratuity but does not cover parking passes, tolls, or driver lodging on overnight trips. For the most accurate estimate, contact us with your full itinerary—we’ll provide a custom quote tailored to your specific needs. School buses are the most budget-friendly option available and are ideal for large groups and short-distance travel.

A school bus is the most affordable and practical option for moving large groups over short to medium distances, but it doesn’t offer the luxury features found in minibuses or motorcoaches. You’ll get basic bench seating, strong climate control, and either classic yellow, white, black, or custom exterior—perfect for budget-conscious trips like field outings, team shuttles, or construction crew transport. Unlike a minibus, which seats 18– 35 passengers and may include individual seats, WiFi, power outlets, and luggage racks, a school bus focuses on maximum capacity and simplicity. A full-size motorcoach steps up to 47–56 reclining seats with full climate control, overhead bins, underfloor luggage bays, onboard restroom, multiple video monitors, PA system, optional WiFi and 110V outlets—ideal for long-distance or high-comfort travel. Choose a school bus when cost and headcount are the main priorities; upgrade to a minibus or motorcoach if you need extra amenities or storage.

You should book your school bus rental in Mooresville at least three to six months in advance, especially if your trip falls during peak seasons like spring field trips, summer camps, or fall sports events. Demand for school buses is highest from March through June and again from September through November, when local schools, colleges, and organizations are all running events at the same time. If you’re planning a large event that overlaps with major happenings in nearby cities—such as a Charlotte-area concert, Greensboro tournament, or Winston-Salem parade—it’s best to reserve six months ahead to guarantee availability and lock in the best rates. Last-minute bookings can sometimes be accommodated, but selection will be limited and prices may be higher. For trips requiring multiple buses, custom wraps, or out-of-state travel, the earlier you contact us, the better we can meet your exact needs. Off-season rentals (December–February) may have more flexibility, but advance planning is always recommended to secure your first choice of vehicle and schedule.
