More About School Buses
Two school bus categories cover nearly every group size you'll encounter in Lowell. Type A mini and Type B small school buses seat approximately 10–24 adults — compact enough to navigate the tight turns around the Acre neighborhood or reach UMass Lowell's North Campus without blocking traffic. Need to move a bigger group?
Type C large conventional school buses seat approximately 44–48 adults and give every passenger a dedicated seat with plenty of room for backpacks, lunch bags, and field trip gear. Because Lowellcharterbusrentals.com pulls from a large network of independently owned transportation companies serving Lowell and the surrounding Merrimack Valley, you can compare vehicles from multiple companies instead of being limited to one fleet's inventory for your date!

School Buses Available through the network commonly offer the features your group may need on a Lowell trip, depending on the vehicle and configuration.

What does a School Bus rental cost?
School bus rental prices in Lowell run $205–$365 per hour on weekdays, $240–$380 per hour on weekends, and $1,670–$2,335 per day. Your estimate depends on the bus size, how long you need it, and your specific date. A Tuesday field trip from Lowell High School at 50 Father Morissette Boulevard to the Tsongas Center at UMass Lowell will price differently than a Saturday group run during the Lowell Folk Festival, scheduled for July 23–25, 2027, when downtown event activity can increase demand across the region.
