More About School Buses
Not every group is the same size, and the school Buses Available through the network come in two distinct configurations to match your headcount! Type A mini and Type B small school buses seat approximately 10–24 adults — a great fit for smaller classroom groups, a youth sports team heading to Bloomington Ice Garden, or a compact church group making the short drive down Lyndale Avenue South to a retreat. Need to move more people at once?
Type C large conventional school buses seat approximately 44–48 adults, making them the go-to for full-grade field trips to the Science Museum of Minnesota in Saint Paul or a full team traveling up I-35W to a tournament. Both types keep your group in one place, on one schedule, with one driver handling every turn.

Common School Bus Amenities to Compare
School buses available through the network come with features that make group travel practical and safe! School buses commonly feature high-back padded bench seating with a center aisle, while heating and air-conditioning options vary by vehicle — essential when January temperatures in Bloomington drop well below freezing and your group is waiting outside Mall of America for pickup after an event. Storage arrangements also vary, so ask how much room is available for backpacks and day bags to help keep the aisle clear.
Many models include ADA-accessible features like wheelchair lifts and wider aisle clearance — just mention it when you fill out your quote! Exterior colors vary by operator, so ask when you call 612-230-4115 if a specific color matters for your trip!

How much does a School Bus cost?
School bus rentals in Bloomington cost $205–$365 per hour on weekdays, $240–$380 per hour on weekends, and $1,670–$2,335 per day depending on the provider, the date, and the specific vehicle. A Tuesday field trip from Olson Middle School to the Minneapolis Institute of Art on 3rd Avenue South will price differently than a Saturday tournament shuttle running up and down I-494 all afternoon — and a handful of Bloomington-area dates fill the network fast, which means higher prices and slimmer availability. Minnesota State High School League tournament weekends, graduation season in May and June, and busy fall sports schedules across Bloomington Public Schools are the dates to book earliest.
