More About School Buses
Find exactly what your group needs through the network of independently owned transportation companies serving Portsmouth, Virginia. Whether you're organizing a field trip shuttle for a class of elementary students headed to the Children's Museum of Virginia (221 High St, Portsmouth, VA 23704) or coordinating a large youth group transfer across the Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel, there's a school bus in the network sized for your headcount. Type A mini and Type B small school buses seat approximately 10 to 24 adults, making them ideal for smaller groups.
Type C large conventional school buses seat approximately 44 to 48 adults and are the go-to choice when you need the full capacity. Compare your options side by side and choose the bus that works for YOUR trip! The Children's Museum of Virginia is open Wednesday through Sunday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., and closed Monday and Tuesday, so your Portsmouth school bus rental can be timed to the museum's visiting hours.
The Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel limits vehicle height on westbound I-64 to 13 feet, 6 inches without a permit, and on eastbound I-64 to 14 feet, 6 inches with a permit. Keep those limits in mind when choosing a bus for a trip across Hampton Roads.

Common School Bus Amenities to Compare
Compare amenities across Portsmouth school bus options to find features your group will appreciate on travel day.
