School Bus

We run all the top brands in the industry, including Blue Bird Vision, Blue Bird All American, Thomas Built Buses Saf-T-Liner C2, Thomas Built Buses Saf-T-Liner HDX, IC Bus CE Series, and IC Bus RE Series. These are the same heavy-duty models trusted by school districts and contractors statewide because they’re tough, reliable, and built to handle anything from city streets to highway runs. If you need something specific—like a particular engine type, seating configuration, or ADA-accessible model—just ask when you call. We’ve got one of the largest and most versatile fleets in the region, so we can get you exactly what you need.

Our school buses are available in a wide range of exterior colors to suit any type of event or branding requirement. Standard options include black, white, silver, grey, blue, green, red, and navy—perfect for everything from corporate and university shuttles to construction-site and event transportation. If you need something truly custom, we also offer full-vehicle wraps in any color or design you choose, allowing you to match school colors, display company logos, or create eye-catching graphics for special events. Just let us know your color preference when you request a quote, and we’ll make sure you get exactly what you need. No other company in the region offers this level of flexibility and customization—it’s why we’re the first call for so many schools, businesses, and event planners across the Midwest.

Every school bus comes standard with forward-facing bench seats that can accommodate up to 47 passengers, powerful front and rear HVAC for year-round comfort, and a full-length center aisle for easy boarding and exiting. The interior features durable vinyl or cloth upholstery, non-slip flooring, and bright LED lighting throughout the cabin. There’s a built-in PA system with either a wired or wireless microphone for making announcements, plus a Bluetooth-compatible sound system with USB and AUX inputs so you can play music or audio from any device. Optional upgrades include onboard Wi-Fi, high-back seats with integrated seat belts, and rear emergency exits that double as loading doors for bulky equipment. If you need something specific—like ADA-accessible seating, front/rear destination signs, or prep for a roof-mounted bike rack—just ask when you call. This is a no-nonsense, hard-working vehicle that does exactly what you need it to do, every single time.

School bus rentals in Kentwood typically cost $145–$450+ per hour, $1,520–$3,655 per day, or $6.00–$9.95 per mile, depending on the size of the bus, trip duration, mileage, and time of year. Your quote includes the vehicle, driver, and standard amenities; gratuity is also included. Additional expenses such as parking passes, tolls, and driver lodging for overnight trips are not included and will be billed separately if applicable. Pricing may be higher during peak season, holidays, or if buses need to deadhead from another city. For the most accurate real-time pricing, call us directly at 616-360-2780 or use our online quote tool to get an instant estimate.

Need something bigger or smaller? We’ve got minibuses that seat 18–35 and full-size motorcoaches (charter buses) that hold up to 56, plus sprinter vans for groups of 10–15. The school bus is a great middle-ground option: cheaper than a charter bus, more capacity than a minibus, and perfect for short-to-medium trips around town or between cities. It’s not fancy—no reclining seats, no restrooms—but it’s tough, reliable, and gets the job done. If you’re moving a sports team, construction crew, wedding guests, or students, this is the best bang for your buck. And if you need multiple vehicles, we can send as many as you need.

We recommend booking your school bus rental at least 3–6 months in advance to ensure availability and secure the best rates—especially if your trip falls during the busy spring and fall seasons when schools, sports teams, and event organizers are all competing for vehicles. In Kentwood, major events like ArtPrize, Festival of the Arts, Tulip Time in Holland, and local high school graduations can quickly tie up regional fleet inventory, making it even more important to reserve early. If you’re planning a multi-day trip, need multiple buses, or require special amenities like a custom wrap or ADA-accessible seating, give yourself as much lead time as possible. Last-minute bookings are sometimes available, but selection will be limited and prices may be higher due to increased demand.
