School Bus

Charter Bus Company Kokomo offers one of the largest and most diverse fleets of school buses in Indiana, featuring top industry brands like Blue Bird, Thomas Built Buses, and IC Bus (Navistar). Our lineup includes both full-size and midsize models with seating capacities ranging from 44 to 72 passengers, so you can easily get you a bus that fits your group size and budget. Popular options include the Blue Bird Vision, Thomas Built Saf-T-Liner C2, and IC CE Series—all known for their reliability, durability, and comfortable ride quality. If you need something specific—like a rear-engine (Type D) model for tighter turning radius or a short-body (Type A/B) bus for smaller groups—we can help you find exactly what you’re looking for. Just give us a call at 765-450-1450 and let us know what you need!

We offer school buses in a wide range of colors to match your organization’s branding or event theme. Standard color options include black, white, silver, grey, blue, green, red, and navy. If you need something more customized, we also offer full and partial wraps with custom graphics, logos, or advertisements. This is a great option for sports teams, corporate events, or special promotions. Just let us know what you’re looking for, and we’ll make it happen.

Our school buses come standard with forward-facing bench seats upholstered in either vinyl or cloth fabric, durable non-slip flooring, and powerful heating and air conditioning systems to keep passengers comfortable year-round. Each bus is equipped with a PA system for onboard announcements, multiple emergency exits including rear doors and roof hatches, and bright LED lighting throughout the cabin. Optional upgrades include Wi-Fi connectivity, USB charging ports at every seat, Bluetooth sound systems, and video monitors for entertainment or training purposes. Additional features like overhead storage racks, luggage compartments, and integrated camera systems are also available upon request.

School bus rental rates in Kokomo typically range from $145 to $450+ per hour, $1,520 to $3,655 per day, or $6.00 to $9.95 per mile depending on the size of the bus, length of the trip, and exact pickup location. Your quote includes the base rate, fuel, tolls, and driver gratuity but does not cover parking fees or overnight lodging for the driver if required. Additional charges may apply for special requests such as custom branding, multiple stops, or last-minute changes to the itinerary. To get an accurate estimate for your trip, call our office at 765-450-1450 with your itinerary details including pickup address, destination, number of passengers, and desired travel dates.

A school bus is the most affordable and practical option for moving large groups short distances, making it ideal for K–12 field trips, athletic events, and campus shuttles. Unlike minibuses or party buses, a school bus seats up to 47 passengers (or more) in a single vehicle, which keeps everyone together and simplifies logistics. While it doesn’t offer the reclining seats, Wi-Fi, or entertainment systems found on a full-size charter bus, it’s perfect for budget-conscious groups who just need reliable transportation from point A to point B. Need something with more amenities? Ask about our minibuses and charter buses instead.

We recommend booking your school bus at least three to six months in advance to ensure availability and secure the best rates. Spring and fall are especially busy due to field trips, sporting events, and graduations, so it’s wise to reserve early if you’re traveling during these seasons. Large events like the Howard County 4-H Fair, Kokomo RibFest, and local high school football games can also impact availability. If you’re planning a trip during a peak travel time or need multiple vehicles, consider booking even earlier. Last-minute rentals are possible but may be subject to limited availability and higher prices.
