More About School Buses
For easy, organized group travel across Akron and Northeast Ohio, school buses are one of the most practical choices available through the network. Two main sizes are available to match your headcount: the Type A mini and Type B small school bus, seating approximately 10–24 adults, is a great fit for smaller classes, enrichment groups, and club outings — compact enough to navigate the tighter drop-off areas near downtown Akron venues like the Akron Art Museum (1 S High St, Akron, OH 44308). When your roster runs larger, the Type C large conventional school bus seats approximately 44–48 adults and handles full-class field trips to destinations like the Boston Mill Visitor Center at Cuyahoga Valley National Park (6947 Riverview Rd, Peninsula, OH 44264) with room to spare.
Compare both sizes from a large network of independently owned companies serving Akron — all in one place, all in seconds!

Popular Amenities on School Bus Rentals
This is where school bus rentals through the network really shine for Akron-area educators and group leaders! School buses come with forward-facing padded bench seating so every student rides comfortably, whether you're heading a few miles to Summit County Historical Society (550 Copley Rd, Akron, OH 44320) or making the 9-mile run up Ohio Route 8 to Blossom Music Center (1145 W Steels Corners Rd, Cuyahoga Falls, OH 44223) for a Cleveland Orchestra youth concert. You'll find overhead storage for backpacks and day bags, climate control to handle Northeast Ohio's famously unpredictable weather, and large windows that let students take in the scenery along the way.

What does a School Bus rental cost?
Keep in mind that school bus rental prices in Akron depend on a handful of factors: the size of the bus, the day of the week, how many hours you need it, and where you're headed. Here are the figures to plan around: school buses run $205–$365 per hour on weekdays, $240–$380 per hour on weekends, and $1,670–$2,335 per day. A Tuesday field trip to the Akron Zoo (500 Edgewood Ave, Akron, OH 44307) will typically price differently than a Saturday overnight trip, and a full-day run to Cuyahoga Valley National Park prices differently than a two-hour round trip to 7 17 Credit Union Park (300 S Main St, Akron, OH 44308).
