How much does a School Bus cost?
For a Pittsburgh school bus rental, pricing through the network runs $205 to $365 per hour on weekdays, $240 to $380 per hour on weekends, and $1,670 to $2,335 per day for full-day service, with your final rate depending on the bus size, the date, your itinerary, and the provider. A small Type A or Type B school bus shuttling a youth group to the Pittsburgh Children's Museum (10 Children's Way, Pittsburgh, PA 15212) will price differently than a full-size Type C conventional school bus transporting an entire grade to a regional tournament.
