More About School Buses
School buses available through the network come in two practical configurations depending on your headcount. Type A mini and Type B small school buses are suited to smaller groups — compact enough to navigate the tight drop-off lanes at schools near Nuuanu Avenue or pull cleanly into the parking areas at smaller Honolulu venues without the oversized-vehicle headaches. Need to move a bigger group?
Type C large conventional school buses accommodate substantially larger groups, making them a great fit for full-class field trips to the Polynesian Cultural Center in Laie or large youth group outings across Oahu. Why limit yourself to one company's available buses? Compare school bus sizes and pricing from a network of providers serving Honolulu — all in one place, with online quote estimates and vehicle photos, no account required!

Photos are examples only and may show stock or typical vehicles, not the exact vehicle offered for your reservation.

What’s Typically Included on School Bus Rentals
School buses available through the network are built around one priority: keeping your group together and on schedule across Honolulu's roads. Depending on the vehicle, school buses available through the network may include high-back padded seating, climate control — critical when August humidity climbs and the H-1 through downtown bakes in the afternoon sun — and large windows that give every passenger a clear sightline. ADA-accessible school buses with wheelchair lifts and wider aisle configurations may be available through the network on request, so no student gets left behind.
Backpacks and day bags can be organized to help keep the aisle clear for the whole ride; confirm storage arrangements when you fill out your quote. Just mention any specific needs when you fill out your quote, and available options can be identified for your group!
High-back vinyl bench seating
Large opening windows
Overhead interior lighting
PA/microphone system with AM/FM radio
Air conditioning on select vehicles
Under-seat storage for bags and equipment
Amenities listed above are common features that MAY be available on buses. Because we are a referral website and do NOT own or operate buses, exact features vary by vehicle, provider, and availability. After you submit your quote request, you can browse vehicle options, pricing, and available details on the results page. To confirm the exact amenities included with a specific vehicle offered for your trip, call 808-490-6560 before booking.
How much is a School Bus rental?
School bus rentals in Honolulu cost $205–$365 per hour on weekdays, $240–$380 per hour on weekends, and $1,670–$2,335 per day. Where your trip lands inside those ranges depends on the bus size, the specific date, and how many hours you need the vehicle. A Tuesday morning field trip from a Kalihi school to the Bernice Pauahi Bishop Museum prices differently than a Saturday youth group run to the North Shore — and dates around the 44th Annual Okinawan Festival, scheduled for September 4–6, 2026, or the 2026 Honolulu Marathon Expo, scheduled for December 10–13, 2026, can push pricing toward the higher end.
