More About School Buses
Bakersfield groups aren't one-size-fits-all, and the school buses available through this network aren't either. For smaller groups — a classroom of 10 to 24 adults heading to California Living Museum (CALM) (10500 Alfred Harrell Hwy, Bakersfield, CA 93306) or a youth ministry making the short run up Stockdale Highway to a retreat — a Type A mini or Type B small school bus seats approximately 10 to 24 adults and keeps things nimble on Bakersfield's surface streets. Larger groups bound for Kern County Fair & Event Center (1142 South "P" Street, Bakersfield, CA 93307) or a full-class excursion to Tejon Ranch can step up to a Type C large conventional school bus, which seats approximately 44 to 48 adults and may help keep big headcounts together instead of requiring a second vehicle.
Compare both through this website and match the bus to your actual group — not the other way around!

Common Amenities Available on Bakersfield School Bus Rentals
Organizing a long haul from Bakersfield down I-5 toward Los Angeles for a school competition, or a same-day round trip north on SR-99 to a science center in Fresno? The school buses available through this network may offer features that can make the ride more comfortable for passengers on board. Depending on the vehicle, you can find options with reclining seats, overhead storage, climate control, PA systems, and power outlets — so students and chaperones alike can have a more comfortable ride instead of being worn out from the road.
Amenities do vary by bus and by operator, so when you fill out your quote request, mention the specific features your group needs and the results page can show you what's available from transportation companies serving Bakersfield and Kern County.
High-back vinyl bench seating
Large opening windows
Overhead interior lighting
