More About School Buses
Instead of squeezing your group into a caravan of personal vehicles or scrambling to coordinate a dozen parent carpools, a school bus rental in Chapel Hill keeps everyone together from the first pickup to the last drop-off. Through Chapelhillcharterbuscompany.com, you can compare both Type C large conventional school buses seating approximately 44–48 adults and Type A mini and Type B small school buses seating approximately 10–24 adults — so you match the vehicle to your actual headcount instead of the other way around. Whether your group is heading across town to Chapel Hill Community Center (120 S Estes Dr, Chapel Hill, NC 27514) or making the run down I-40 toward Research Triangle Park, the right bus is right here!
