What does a School Bus rental cost?
Wherever your Richmond group is headed (a science field trip to the Science Museum of Virginia (2500 W Broad St, Richmond, VA 23220), a team tournament across the metro, or a campus visit at Virginia Commonwealth University (910 W Broad St, Richmond, VA 23284)), school bus rental pricing in Richmond starts at $205 to $365 per hour on weekdays and $240 to $380 per hour on weekends, with full-day rates running $1,670 to $2,335 per day depending on the bus type, trip duration, and provider. For school visits, groups unload at the Front Portico, where Guest Services directs the bus to parking. Bus parking is limited and first-come, and buses cannot use the parking deck, so your group can arrive together while chaperones park separately.
