More About School Buses
Tempe sits at the crossroads of the Valley — right where US-60, Loop 101, and Loop 202 converge — and getting a group across town without the right-sized vehicle turns into a logistical headache fast. Through this website, you can compare two distinct school bus categories for your group. Type A mini and Type B small school buses seat approximately 10–24 adults, making them a possible fit for smaller student groups, after-school program shuttles between Tempe Elementary School District campuses, or a compact group heading to Tempe Center for the Arts (700 W Rio Salado Pkwy, Tempe, AZ 85281).
Need to move a bigger crowd? Type C large conventional school buses seat approximately 44–48 adults — a possible fit for a full class heading to Heard Museum (2301 N Central Ave, Phoenix, AZ 85004) or a band group traveling to a competition at Arizona State University's Mountain America Stadium.
Because Tempecoachbusservice.com connects you to a large network of independently owned companies rather than one single fleet, you can compare buses for your actual headcount instead of overpaying for seats you won't fill. Compare options, see photos, and request the right fit — all without picking up the phone more than once.

Common Amenities Available on Tempe School Bus Rentals
Heading out on Loop 101 toward the Phoenix Zoo or making the run down the Superstition Freeway (US-60) to a competition? The right amenities make the difference between a smooth group trip and a long, uncomfortable ride. School buses in the network typically come equipped with features like climate control to handle Tempe's triple-digit summer heat, overhead storage for backpacks and gear, and PA systems so chaperones can keep the group organized without shouting over the noise.
Larger Type C coaches often add reclining seats and undercarriage luggage bays — a big help when your group is hauling instruments, science project materials, or athletic equipment to an away event at Chandler High School (350 N Arizona Ave, Chandler, AZ 85225) or a tournament in the West Valley.
Amenities vary by bus and by company, so comparing options through this website lets you compare combinations for your group — climate control, storage, seating configuration — without settling for whatever one operator happens to have available on your date.
High-back vinyl bench seating
Large opening windows
Overhead interior lighting
PA/microphone system with AM/FM radio
Air conditioning on select vehicles
Under-seat storage for bags and equipment
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. After you submit your quote request, you can browse vehicle options, pricing, and available details on the results page. To confirm the exact amenities included with a specific vehicle offered for your trip, call 602-753-1999 before booking.
How much does a School Bus cost in Tempe?
School bus rental prices in Tempe vary based on bus size, your itinerary, and the day of the week. Here's the general range to plan around: Type A and Type C school buses run $205–$365 per hour on weekdays and $240–$380 per hour on weekends, with full-day rates from $1,670 to $2,335. A full-day rate makes a lot of sense for longer excursions — say, a morning pickup at a Tempe Unified campus, a full afternoon at Lost Dutchman State Park (6109 N Apache Trail, Apache Junction, AZ 85119) out on AZ-88, and a late-afternoon return before dismissal.
Pricing shifts based on the number of stops, total mileage, and any additional amenities, so the fastest way to request pricing for your specific trip is to use the 30-second online quote tool or call 602-753-1999 to provide your headcount and schedule.
