School Bus

Charter Bus Company La Mirada proudly runs one of the most versatile school bus fleets in Southern California, including industry-leading models from Blue Bird, Thomas Built Buses, and IC Bus (Navistar) — all built to handle tough urban routes, freeway miles, and anything else your trip requires. Need something specific? Just ask—we can get nearly any make or model you want, including older pre-DEF units or the latest clean-air engines.

We offer school buses in a wide range of colors to suit any type of event or organization branding. Standard options include classic yellow, black, white, silver, grey, blue, green, red, and navy, so you can easily match your bus to your school colors, corporate branding, or event theme. If you need something truly unique, we also offer custom wraps that allow you to fully personalize the exterior of the bus with your own graphics, logos, or artwork. This is a popular option for sports teams, advertising campaigns, and special events that require a bold and eye-catching vehicle. Whatever color or design you choose, you’ll get a professional-looking bus that makes a great impression.

Our school buses come standard with high-back bench seats upholstered in durable vinyl or upgraded cloth fabric, easy-access front entry doors, and powerful HVAC systems for cooling and heating the entire cabin. You’ll get overhead parcel racks for backpacks and small bags, LED interior lighting, and PA speakers integrated with a driver microphone for announcements. Optional amenities include Wi-Fi connectivity, 110V/USB power outlets at each row, rear emergency exit doors, and exterior storage compartments for athletic gear or band equipment. We also offer custom branding packages with window decals or full-color wraps for your school, company, or event. Every bus is equipped with advanced features like anti-lock brakes, electronic stability control, and integrated child restraint systems to ensure a ride for all passengers.

Our school bus rental rates start at $145–$450+ per hour, $1,520–$3,655 per day, or $6.00–$9.95 per mile, depending on your exact itinerary, vehicle size, and time of year. Every quote includes the driver’s base pay and standard gratuity, but you’ll be responsible for any parking fees, tolls, or hotel expenses if your trip requires an overnight stay. Final pricing is based on real-time availability and demand—so peak dates, last-minute bookings, or multi-day charters may cost more than the base rate.

A school bus is a budget-friendly, high-capacity option that’s perfect for short-distance trips with large groups—think student shuttles, construction crews, or event attendees. Unlike a charter bus or party bus, it has a simple interior with forward-facing bench seats, no restroom, and limited luggage space, but it’s easy to load, unload, and maneuver in tight city streets. If you need something more comfortable for longer trips, a minibus offers padded seats and better climate control, while a full-size charter bus gives you reclining seats, A/C, Wi-Fi, video monitors, and undercarriage storage—but at a higher price point. The school bus is the best value when you need to move 30–50 people quickly and affordably.

We recommend booking your school bus rental at least 3 to 6 months in advance to ensure the best availability and selection, especially if your trip falls during peak travel times like spring field trips, fall sports seasons, or summer camp sessions. In a busy region like La Mirada, buses can get booked up quickly due to overlapping school district calendars, major events at local venues, and construction projects requiring worker shuttles. If you’re traveling during a less busy time of year, 1 to 2 months’ notice may be sufficient, but earlier is always better to secure your preferred vehicle and lock in the best rates. Last-minute rentals are possible if we have availability, but you may have fewer options and could pay higher prices due to increased demand. Once you have your trip dates, itinerary, and group size finalized, contact us right away to get a quote and reserve your bus.
