More About School Buses
Not every Asheville field trip needs the same bus, and that's exactly why the network carries more than one size. Type A mini and Type B small school buses are suited to smaller groups — the right pick for a smaller enrichment group heading to the Asheville Art Museum (2 S Pack Square, Asheville, NC 28801) or a quick shuttle between Asheville High School and a downtown performing arts venue. These compact models navigate the tight turns on Merrimon Avenue and the switchbacks climbing toward the North Asheville neighborhoods without the maneuvering headaches that come with a larger coach.
Need to move a bigger group? Type C large conventional school buses are suited to larger groups, making them the go-to for a full-class trip out I-26 toward Chimney Rock State Park or a multi-school group heading to WNC Nature Center (75 Gashes Creek Rd, Asheville, NC 28805). Compare both sizes side by side through Ashevillecharterbusrentals.com and find what fits your headcount!

Popular Amenities on School Bus Rentals
School Buses Available through the network can vary considerably in their features, so confirm the details of the vehicle offered for your Asheville trip. Many models include padded bench seating and emergency exits, while seat belts, air conditioning, storage, PA systems, and wheelchair lifts depend on the vehicle and configuration. North Carolina school bus safety guidance covers required emergency exits and passenger-area equipment.
If your group needs a wheelchair lift, wider aisle clearance, climate control, or extra storage for backpacks and supplies, mention it when you fill out your quote so the transportation provider can confirm whether the offered vehicle has those features. Whatever your group needs for a comfortable ride through the mountains, mention it when you submit your quote and compare the available vehicle options!
High-back vinyl bench seating
Large opening windows
Overhead interior lighting
PA/microphone system with AM/FM radio

Amenities listed above are common features that MAY be available on buses. Because we are a referral website and do NOT own or operate buses, exact features vary by vehicle, provider, and availability.

How much does a School Bus cost?
School bus rental rates in Asheville vary by vehicle size, trip length, date, and itinerary. A Tuesday morning field trip from Erwin Middle School to WNC Nature Center and back prices differently than a Saturday all-day charter up the Blue Ridge Parkway — and fall weekends in October, when Asheville can see heavier visitor traffic along US-74A and the Parkway, may mean tighter availability across the whole market. Spring semester field trips can affect availability too, and the Craft Fair of the Southern Highlands is scheduled for October 15–18, 2026, bringing another busy downtown event period.
