School Bus

Charter Bus Company Kyle runs only the best and most trusted school bus brands in the industry: Blue Bird, Thomas Built Buses, and IC Bus (Navistar). These are the same heavy-duty models used by public school districts, athletic departments, and construction companies across Texas because they’re tough, reliable, and built to handle any job. Blue Bird models include both the Vision (conventional) and All American (transit-style); Thomas Built offers the Saf-T-Liner C2 (conventional) and HDX (transit-style); IC Bus provides the popular CE Series with either a diesel or propane engine. If you need something specific—like a certain brand, model year, or seating layout—just ask when you call. We can also wrap any bus with your logo or custom graphics for longer-term rentals.

We offer school buses in multiple color options to fit any type of event or branding requirement—including standard yellow, white, black, silver, gray, blue, green, red, and navy. Need something custom? We can provide a full vinyl wrap with your organization’s colors, logo, or artwork—perfect for sports teams, corporate shuttles, or special events. Just let us know what you need when you request a quote, and we’ll make sure you get a bus that matches your exact specifications.

Every school bus in our fleet comes standard with forward-facing bench seats (vinyl or cloth), powerful front and rear air conditioning, ceiling-mounted fans, and a full PA system with a driver microphone. You’ll get overhead parcel racks for backpacks and small bags, a rear emergency exit door that doubles as additional storage space, and optional exterior storage compartments on select models. Most buses include Bluetooth-capable speakers, USB charging ports at each row, and either rubberized or carpeted flooring for easy cleaning. Additional features include LED interior lighting, tinted windows, and 3-point seat belts on newer models for added safety.

School bus rentals in Kyle typically cost $145–$450+ per hour, $1,520–$3,655 per day, or $6.00–$9.95 per mile—making them one of the most affordable ways to move a large group anywhere in Central Texas. Your quote includes the vehicle, driver, fuel, and standard gratuity; additional charges may apply for tolls, parking fees, or hotel accommodations on overnight trips. Final pricing depends on the size of the bus, trip distance, duration, and exact pickup location. For the most accurate quote, call our office at 737-286-9900 or use our online quote tool to get real-time pricing based on your exact trip details.

A school bus is the most affordable, high-capacity option you can get—perfect for any group that needs to move 30–47 people on a budget. Unlike minibuses or sprinter vans, a school bus seats twice as many passengers for almost the same price per hour, making it ideal for big groups who don’t need luxury amenities. You won’t get reclining seats, Wi-Fi, or video monitors like you would on a charter bus, but you will get forward-facing benches, strong A/C, and the lowest cost per seat of any vehicle in the fleet. This is the best value in the industry if you need to move a lot of people fast and cheap.

You should book your school bus rental at least 3–6 months in advance to guarantee availability and lock in the best rates—especially if your trip falls during a busy season or overlaps with major events in the area. Spring and fall are peak times due to graduations, homecoming games, and construction projects, while summer sees high demand from camps and festival shuttles. Big regional events like SXSW, ACL Fest, and Formula 1 in Austin will also impact availability and pricing across Central Texas. If you’re traveling over a holiday weekend or need multiple vehicles, try to reserve even earlier. Last-minute bookings are possible but choices may be limited and rates will be higher.
