More About School Buses
School Buses Available through the network come in two distinct size categories, and knowing the difference helps you match the vehicle to your actual headcount before you ever fill out a form. Type A mini and Type B small school buses seat approximately 10–24 adults — compact enough to navigate the tighter drop-off loops at Todd Beamer High School on 16th Avenue South or pull cleanly into the parking areas at Celebration Park on South 324th Street. Need to move a bigger group?
Type C large conventional school buses seat approximately 44–48 adults, giving you the capacity for a full classroom plus chaperones on a single run. Both types keep your group together from the first pickup to the last drop-off, with no one splitting into separate cars or relying on rideshares across SR-99 on a busy afternoon.

Popular Amenities on School Bus Rentals
School buses available through the network come equipped with features that make every Federal Way trip more comfortable and more organized. Many models include high-back padded bench seating, climate control for those gray South Sound mornings when the temperature swings between Dash Point and the Auburn foothills, and overhead handrails throughout the cabin. Emergency exits are standard, and many models carry first aid kits and safety equipment as part of the build.
ADA-accessible school buses with wheelchair lifts and wider aisle configurations may be available through the network on request — just mention it when you fill out your quote! Storage configurations vary by vehicle, so ask about space for duffels, instrument cases, and athletic gear before you finalize your trip. Whatever your group needs, mention it when you call 253-453-2005!

How much does a School Bus cost to rent?
School bus rentals in Federal Way cost $205–$365 per hour on weekdays, $240–$380 per hour on weekends, and $1,670–$2,335 per day depending on the provider, the date, and the specific vehicle. A Thursday morning field trip run from Federal Way to the Museum of Flight in Seattle will price differently than a Saturday tournament shuttle heading north on I-5 to Memorial Stadium in Seattle — and a handful of dates on the South King County calendar tighten availability across the whole region fast. Federal Way Public Schools graduation ceremonies at the accesso ShoWare Center — the 2026 ceremonies took place on June 12 and June 14 — and spring athletic tournaments at Saghalie Park can create busy dates across South King County.
