More About School Buses
Got 30 seconds? That is genuinely all it takes to start comparing school bus rentals in Columbus, Ohio through Busrentalcolumbusohio.com. The network includes Type A mini school buses and Type B small school buses, both of which seat approximately 10 to 24 adults — a smart pick for smaller youth groups, church outings, or daycare field trips around Columbus neighborhoods like Short North, German Village, or over to COSI Columbus (333 W Broad St, Columbus, OH 43215).
Need to move a bigger crowd? Type C large conventional school buses seat approximately 44 to 48 adults, making them the go-to choice for full classroom field trips to the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium (4850 W Powell Rd, Powell, OH 43065) or athletic teams traveling to away competitions.

COSI's bus drop-off area is on Washington Boulevard. Parking costs $30 for buses or oversized vans that do not fit in the garage or a single parking spot, which isn't included in your free price quote. Your group can arrive together at the designated bus drop-off, without splitting up across cars.
