More About School Buses
It's easier than ever to find the right school bus for your Durham group when you have a large network of independently owned transportation companies with school bus options to compare. The network includes school bus rentals in two primary configurations. Type A mini and Type B small school buses seat approximately 10 to 24 adults — a smart pick for smaller student groups, church youth programs, or day trips across Durham County.
Need something bigger? A Type C large conventional school bus seats approximately 44 to 48 adults, giving larger groups the room they need. Compare both bus types side by side and choose what fits YOUR trip!
For a field trip to the Museum of Life and Science (433 W. Murray Avenue, Durham, NC 27704), bus parking spots are reserved on site upon group check-in, though buses may be asked to park off-site on fully booked days. Your Durham school bus rental can keep the group together for the visit, with the Museum’s bus parking arrangements set at check-in.
