School Buses Available in the Following Cities
Charter Bus Company Manassas proudly serves all of Northern Virginia and the greater Washington DC metro area—including Centreville, Dale City, Reston, Arlington, Alexandria, Gaithersburg, Germantown, Silver Spring, and Rockville. We regularly send buses into DC for field trips, rallies, and museum tours; run cross-county routes between Fairfax and Loudoun; and handle local moves within each suburb. If you’re outside this core zone (e.g., Fredericksburg, Baltimore, Annapolis), we can still help—just ask when you call. No destination is too close or too far!
Trips and Events in Manassas a School Bus Is Great For
Manassas is home to great museums, historic sites, beautiful parks and so much more. A school bus makes it easy to transport large groups to every destination on your itinerary. Our team has helped groups travel to locations like the Manassas National Battlefield Park, the Hylton Performing Arts Center, and even out-of-town destinations like Kings Dominion in Doswell, Virginia. You can also book a school bus to transport groups to local events like Celebrate America and the Fall Jubilee, or shuttle employees to job sites across Prince William County.
School buses are also a popular choice for non-scholastic events such as wedding guest shuttles between ceremony and reception venues, church youth group outings, corporate commuter routes to Metro stations, and even parade floats during local festivals. Their affordability and simplicity make them a versatile option for any large-group movement.

Frequently Asked Questions About our School Buses
What Makes and Models Are Your School Buses?
Our fleet features 44-, 45-, 46- and 47-passenger school buses from leading manufacturers like Blue Bird, Thomas Built Buses, and IC Bus (Navistar)—all built on heavy-duty chassis (Freightliner, International, or similar) with diesel or gasoline engines. Most units have high-back bench seating, forward-facing rows, and either a flat-front (transit style) or conventional nose depending on model year. These are the same full-size school buses used by public school districts across Virginia, Maryland, and DC—so you know they’re tough and reliable. If you need something smaller, larger, or ADA-accessible, we can source it from our statewide network of providers.
What Colors Are Your School Buses Available In?
We offer school buses in classic yellow, white, black, and other colors upon request. Need something special for a parade or promotional event? Full wraps and custom graphics are available for an additional fee. Just let us know what you’re looking for and we’ll match you with the perfect vehicle.
What Amenities Come Standard on Your School Buses?
Standard features include forward-facing bench seats, air conditioning, and either front or rear emergency exits. Some models may have PA systems or basic audio setups. There are no restrooms, luggage bays, or luxury options—this is bare-bones group transport designed for short to medium distances.
How Much Does a School Bus Rental Cost, and What Factors Change the Price?
Pricing depends on distance traveled, duration of the rental, and exact pickup location. Expect higher rates during peak spring/fall months or if your trip requires the bus to be out all day before returning. Contact us for a fast, personalized quote based on your specific itinerary.
How Does a School Bus Compare to Our Other Bus Types?
A school bus is the most budget-friendly way to move up to 47 people. Unlike a charter bus, there’s no restroom, reclining seats, or underfloor luggage storage. It’s more comfortable than a trolley for longer distances, but less luxurious than an executive coach. Perfect for short trips where cost is the main concern.
How Far in Advance Should I Book a School Bus?
We recommend booking at least 3-6 months in advance, especially for spring and summer trips when demand is highest due to graduations, proms, and wedding season. Major events like high school championships or regional festivals can sell out even earlier. Last-minute rentals are possible if we have availability, but you’ll get the best rates and selection by reserving early. Once you sign the contract and pay the deposit, your bus is confirmed.
