More About School Buses
School Buses Available through the network come in two main configurations, and picking the right one for your headcount makes a big difference on a Fort Collins trip. Type A mini and Type B small school buses seat approximately 10–24 adults — compact enough to navigate the tight loop at Horsetooth Reservoir or pull cleanly into the drop-off lane at Fossil Ridge High School on Ziegler Road without blocking traffic. Need to move a bigger group?
Type C large conventional school buses seat approximately 44–48 adults, making them the right call for full-class field trips to Poudre Fire Authority Station 1 or a district-wide trip down US-287 toward Loveland. Whatever your headcount, the network has a bus sized for it!

Common School Bus Amenities to Compare
School buses available through the network are built around one priority: keeping your group safe and together on every mile of the trip. Every model comes with high-back padded bench seating, climate control for those wide-temperature-swing Colorado mornings when it's 38 degrees at pickup and 65 by the time you reach Swetsville Zoo off Harmony Road, and overhead emergency exits meeting all state safety requirements. ADA-accessible school buses with wheelchair lifts are available through the network — just mention it when you request your quote!
Drivers are permitted and trained for student transport, so teachers and chaperones can focus on the group instead of the road. You choose the bus that works for you!
High-back vinyl bench seating
Large opening windows
Overhead interior lighting
PA/microphone system with AM/FM radio

How much does a School Bus cost?
School bus rental prices in Fort Collins run $205–$365 per hour on weekdays, $240–$380 per hour on weekends, and $1,670–$2,335 per day. Your actual number depends on the bus size, your pickup location, and the date — a Thursday morning field trip from Rocky Mountain High School on hold Road to Gardens on Spring Creek prices differently than a Saturday all-day run for a youth sports team heading south on I-25 toward Denver. Spring field trip season and fall sports travel are the busiest windows in Fort Collins, so booking early gets you more options and better pricing.
