More About School Buses
Rent a school bus through Busrentalsantamaria.com when your group in Santa Maria needs group transportation for a field trip, church outing, youth sports event, or any other group occasion. Through the network, you'll find Type A mini and Type B small school buses that seat approximately 10 to 24 adults — ideal for smaller youth groups, church committees, or compact field trip classes headed to Santa Maria Museum of Flight (3015 Airpark Dr, Santa Maria, CA 93455) or the CRR Discovery Museum (705 S McClelland St, Santa Maria, CA 93454). The Museum of Flight is open Friday through Sunday, so schedule a Santa Maria school bus outing within its visiting hours.
The CRR Discovery Museum asks field-trip groups to reserve at least two weeks ahead and lists free on-site parking just outside; a rented bus keeps students and chaperones together on the trip. Need more room? Type C large conventional school buses seat approximately 44 to 48 adults, giving full-sized groups plenty of space for a ride across the Santa Maria Valley or down the 101 corridor.
