Many of our newer buses come equipped with powerful HVAC systems, LED interior lighting, and advanced driver-assistance features on the road. And because we operate one of the largest fleets in the Midwest, it’s easy to book multiple buses for big events, arrange custom wrapping or graphics packages, and get fast, reliable service anywhere you need to go.

Every school bus rental from Charter Bus Company Lenexa comes equipped with a full suite of standard amenities designed to keep passengers comfortable and connected while on the road. Our buses feature high-back bench seating upholstered in durable vinyl or fabric, powerful front and rear air conditioning and heating units, and a public address (PA) system with either a wired microphone at the front or a wireless handheld mic for announcements. Integrated Bluetooth-enabled sound systems allow you to play music directly from a smartphone or tablet, and optional 4G/5G Wi-Fi connectivity keeps everyone online during longer trips. Most models include overhead parcel racks for storing bags and backpacks, LED ceiling lights, and either 12V or USB charging ports at each row. Additional amenities can include tinted windows, slip-resistant flooring, electronic destination signs above the windshield, and rear emergency exit doors with built-in alarms. For groups with special requirements, we offer ADA-compliant buses with wheelchair lifts and securement areas, as well as custom exterior graphics or full-vehicle wraps for school branding, athletic teams, or corporate clients. When you book with Charter Bus Company Lenexa, you’ll get a modern, well-equipped school bus backed by the best customer service in the industry.

The cost of renting a school bus from Charter Bus Company Lenexa typically ranges from $145 to $450 or more per hour, $1,520 to $3,655 per day, or $6.00 to $9.95 per mile, depending on the size of the bus, trip duration, distance traveled, and current demand. All quotes include the driver’s fee, fuel, tolls, and standard gratuity, but do not cover venue parking passes or hotel accommodations for the driver on overnight trips—those expenses are billed separately. Pricing can be higher during peak seasons (spring and fall), for last-minute bookings, or in areas with limited vehicle availability, so it’s best to reserve your bus several months in advance to lock in the lowest rate. For multi-day trips, the daily rate applies plus any additional mileage beyond the included base amount. To get an exact quote for your next trip, call our office at 913-489-6510 with your itinerary details, and we’ll give you a firm price on the spot.

School buses are the most affordable way to move large groups short distances, but they’re basic compared to a minibus or full-size charter bus. You’ll get high-capacity seating (up to 84 passengers), tough vinyl or cloth upholstery, strong A/C, and overhead storage—not much else. There are no forward-facing seat belts, no PA system, and no Wi-Fi or USB ports unless you request them. Charter buses and minibuses have soft reclining seats, armrests, headrests, individual reading lights, powerful HVAC, and optional Wi-Fi, plus a PA system and video monitors. Charter buses also have an onboard restroom, luggage bays under the floor, and room for carry-on bags above the seats. If you need to keep costs down and don’t mind the bare essentials, a school bus gets the job done. But if comfort matters—especially for longer trips—you’ll want a minibus or charter bus instead.

We recommend booking your school bus rental at least three to six months in advance—especially if your trip falls during the busy spring or fall travel seasons. This gives you the best chance of securing the exact vehicle you want at the lowest possible rate, and ensures that we’ll have availability even if you need multiple buses or a custom schedule. Major events like high school graduations, college move-in days, and regional sports tournaments can cause vehicles to sell out months ahead of time, so it’s always better to reserve early and lock in your reservation with a signed contract and deposit. If you’re planning a trip during the off-season or have flexible dates, we may be able to accommodate shorter notice—but keep in mind that last-minute bookings are subject to current fleet availability and could be more expensive. Once you have your trip details finalized, contact our office as soon as possible to get a quote and secure your school bus rental before it’s gone.
