More About School Buses
School buses in the network come in two main configurations, and knowing which one fits your group makes the whole booking process faster. Type A mini and Type B small school buses seat approximately 10–24 adults — compact enough to navigate the tight residential streets off Junipero Serra Boulevard and pull cleanly into loading zones at smaller Daly City campuses without the oversized-vehicle headaches that come with a full coach. Need more room?
Type C large conventional school buses seat approximately 44–48 adults, giving you the capacity for a full classroom plus chaperones on a single vehicle. California’s official school-bus classifications identify Type A buses as smaller buses and Type C buses as conventional buses with at least 44-student capacity; confirm the vehicle’s available seating capacity when requesting a quote. Because Dalycitycharterbusrentals.com pulls from a large network of independently owned transportation companies, you can compare both configurations side by side and match the bus to your actual headcount rather than guessing.

How much does a School Bus cost?
School bus rentals in Daly City cost $205–$365 per hour on weekdays, $240–$380 per hour on weekends, and $1,670–$2,335 per day. A Tuesday field trip run from a Westlake elementary school down to the Randall Museum in San Francisco prices differently than a Saturday shuttle for a weekend athletics tournament at Marchbank Park — and a handful of Peninsula dates fill the whole market fast. Many school groups plan field trips in April and May before the academic year closes out, which is also when availability across the Bay Area can tighten.
