Know where I can rent a school bus in CO

I'm wondering if anyone knows where I can rent school busses in CO near Boulder. I'm going to call Boulder Valley Schools tomorrow but I'm wondering if anyone else has had experience with that school or another in renting busses? If anyone has tips on cheap bus rentals otherwise, I'm all ears and THANK YOU!

    I am not positive, but as a school employee, I highly doubt they rent their buses out for political, and insurance-related reasons.  You might call a limo service or shuttle service just to get started and go from there- they might no where you should call next.  Possibly a church might rent out an old bus that they use or call a tour bus company.  I am not sure what exactly you plan to use it for, but please also think about the fact that you need someone with the right type of license to drive it as well.  Good luck! Let us know what you find!

    Have you thought about a double decker bus? I don't know if that'd work, but I know you can rent them from companies here in town.

    Thanks ladies. Sadly, the double decker busses are too large (long) for the roads I need them for. I'm planning from afar and know that some schools will rent buses (with drivers) especially on weekends as a way to get additional revenue. I've already reserved busses from the University of CO (which is a reasonably cheap option btw) with drivers of course but I find myself in need of another bus. Adding to the difficultly factor is the fact that I need "short busses" due to sharp turns on the road to the ceremony. Yep, I'm riding the short bus to my wedding. Thanks for your suggestions!

    I'm very curious about the school bus too. Do you have your dress yet? I know a lady that does wonderful alterations. Call Cathy at (719) 433-4877. Good luck with the schoolbus.
