More About School Buses
Rather than squeezing students into a single bus that doesn't fit your group, compare school bus options through Charterbusrentalsanjoseca.com and choose from different sizes for your trip. You'll find two main school bus types through the network. Type A mini and Type B small school buses seat approximately 10–24 adults — perfect for smaller student groups heading to the San Jose Museum of Art (110 S Market St, San Jose, CA 95113) or a nearby campus visit.
The museum's self-guided school tours are limited to 40 participants, including chaperones, and require registration at least four weeks ahead, which helps you match the bus size to the school's reservation. Need to move a larger crowd? A Type C large conventional school bus seats approximately 44–48 adults, making it ideal for full-grade field trips, athletics departments, or multi-classroom excursions across the South Bay.
For school bus rentals in San Jose, buses heading to The Tech Interactive (201 S Market St, San Jose, CA 95113) use Market St. for drop-offs and pick-ups, with bus parking at Old W. Julian St. or Auzerais Ave. A school bus rental brings the class together at Market St. before the bus parks at one of those locations. Because Charterbusrentalsanjoseca.com works with a large network of independently owned bus companies, you're never stuck with whatever one fleet happens to have open on your date!

What’s Typically Included on School Bus Rentals
You deserve more than a bare-bones ride, and Charterbusrentalsanjoseca.com lets you browse school bus options with useful amenities for your trip. Depending on the vehicle and provider, school buses in the network can come equipped with air conditioning, a PA system for teachers and chaperones to make announcements on the road, overhead storage for backpacks and personal items, and comfortable padded seating to keep students settled throughout the journey. Some models also include onboard WiFi and power outlets — a major win for longer drives across Silicon Valley or down to Gilroy Gardens Family Theme Park (3050 Hecker Pass Hwy, Gilroy, CA 95020).
Tour buses carrying 10 or more people may park for free at Gilroy Gardens, so your school group can arrive together without separate vehicle parking charges. Amenities vary by bus and provider, so mention your must-haves when you request your free quote and the support team will help you find a school bus option for your group!

How much does a School Bus cost to rent?
In San Jose, California, school bus rental pricing runs $205 to $365 per hour on weekdays, $240 to $380 per hour on weekends, and $1,670 to $2,335 per day for full-day bookings — making it easy to budget for a single field trip or an extended multi-stop itinerary across the Bay Area. The final cost depends on your group size, bus type, travel distance, and the specific provider in the network. A Type A or B small school bus for a shorter weekday trip to Kelley Park (1300 Senter Rd, San Jose, CA 95112) will land on the lower end of that range, while a full-size Type C school bus for a weekend excursion will naturally reflect weekend rates.
Kelley Park charges for parking, which isn't included in your free price quote, so bringing students together in a school bus rental keeps the group from splitting among separate cars. To get your exact number fast, fill out one quick form to instantly compare school bus prices and packages from a network of San Jose transportation companies — or call 408-786-2544 any time and a live agent will build a custom quote around your exact itinerary.
