More About School Buses
Waiting on callbacks just to find one available bus on your date? That scramble ends here. Through Coachbusoakland.com, you can compare school bus rentals from a large network of independently owned Oakland transportation companies, all in one place, all in under 30 seconds.
The network includes Type A mini school buses and Type B small school buses seating approximately 10 to 24 adults, perfect for smaller youth groups, club outings, and academic team travel across the East Bay. Need more room? Type C large conventional school buses seat approximately 44 to 48 adults and are ideal for full classroom field trips to destinations like the Oakland Museum of California (1000 Oak St, Oakland, CA 94607) or the Chabot Space & Science Center (10000 Skyline Blvd, Oakland, CA 94619).
Buses may drop off at the Oakland Museum’s School Group Entrance on 10th Street, at the Amphitheater where 10th and Fallon meet, while the garage may be full. Your group can arrive together at the entrance instead of splitting into separate cars. Chabot buses drop off in the front circle, and bus parking is limited.
Your group can unload together at the main entrance without searching for separate parking. You choose the bus type that fits YOUR group size and YOUR itinerary, not the other way around!

Common School Bus Amenities to Compare
Because Coachbusoakland.com connects you with a large network of independently owned transportation companies serving Oakland, you're never limited to one fleet's standard package. Oakland school bus rentals can come equipped with reclining seats, climate control, overhead storage, PA systems for announcements and educational narration, and WiFi on select models to keep students connected during longer rides across the Bay Area. Type C conventional school buses also offer generous undercarriage storage bays, a huge advantage when your group is hauling science fair equipment, sports gear, or luggage for an overnight academic trip.
Whether you're transporting students from Oakland Technical High School (4351 Broadway, Oakland, CA 94611) to a regional competition or shuttling a youth choir to a performance at Zellerbach Hall at UC Berkeley (101 Zellerbach Hall, Berkeley, CA 94720), the right amenities make every mile count. A designated curbside drop-off area is on Durant Avenue outside East Bay School, so the group can arrive together near the hall. Compare minibus and school bus options side by side and find the exact features YOUR group needs, it really is that easy!
High-back vinyl bench seating

How much is a School Bus rental?
Browse Oakland school bus rental pricing in under 30 seconds using Coachbusoakland.com's online quote tool, no account needed, No waiting for callbacks to get pricing required. Weekday school bus rates in Oakland run $205 to $365 per hour, weekend rates come in at $240 to $380 per hour, and full-day rentals are priced at $1,670 to $2,335 per day. Your final cost depends on factors like bus type, group size, trip distance, and any additional amenities your group requires.
A Type A mini school bus for a small club outing will price out very differently than a Type C conventional school bus for a full-grade field trip to The Exploratorium (Pier 15, San Francisco, CA 94111) or a multi-day academic competition requiring overnight lodging. The Exploratorium’s Pier 15/17 bus zone is for loading and unloading only; seven short-term bus spaces are on North Point Street, and buses stage on Green Street before returning to the Pier 15 loading zone. Your group can unload together at the pier, then regroup for pickup at the designated loading zone.
