More About School Buses
Busrentalwashington.com is the go-to website for school bus rentals in Washington, DC because you can compare options from a large network of independently owned transportation companies serving the DC metro area, not just one single fleet. Through that network, you can compare Type A mini school buses and Type B small school buses seating approximately 10 to 24 adults, alongside full-size Type C conventional school buses seating approximately 44 to 48 adults. Whether you are coordinating a school field trip bus rental to the Smithsonian National Zoo (3001 Connecticut Ave. NW, Washington, DC 20008) or organizing a youth sports team transfer across the Beltway, you can compare bus sizes for your group.
You get TONS of different options, TONS of different packages, all in one place! At the Zoo, buses use the Vehicle Check-in Lot for drop-off and pickup, and each bus needs a pass. A free Bus Drop-Off Pass reserves a time slot, while bus parking requires a Bus Parking Pass, and buses cannot park or drop off on Connecticut Avenue.
Your group can unload and regroup at the Zoo's designated lot instead of stopping along Connecticut Avenue.

How much does a School Bus cost to rent?
Because school bus rental pricing in Washington, DC depends on your specific date, group size, trip length, and vehicle type, Busrentalwashington.com makes it easy to get an accurate quote in under 30 seconds. For reference, hourly rates in the network run $205 to $365 per hour on weekdays and $240 to $380 per hour on weekends, while full-day rentals typically range from $1,670 to $2,335 per day. A short morning run to the United States Capitol (First St. SE, Washington, DC 20004) for a civics field trip will land at a very different price point than an all-day itinerary covering multiple Smithsonian stops.
