28 Passenger Minibus

Our 28-passenger minibuses are available in a variety of exterior colors to match your event, branding, or personal preference—including black, white, silver, gray, blue, red, navy, and even yellow for special-use groups like school or construction shuttles. Need something custom? We can arrange a full or partial vinyl wrap with your company logo, team colors, or wedding graphics, or provide magnetic signage for short-term branding. Interior finishes include standard fabric upholstery in neutral tones or upgraded faux-leather seating in black, gray, or tan, with optional accent panels and trim colors available on select models. Whatever look you’re going for, we’ll help you get you a minibus that fits your style and makes a great first impression at the curb.

Every 28-passenger minibus we offer comes loaded with standard amenities designed to keep your group comfortable, connected, and entertained for the entire journey. That includes high-back reclining seats with armrests and headrests, powerful front and rear HVAC systems, and either overhead parcel racks or full-length storage compartments for backpacks and carry-on bags. Stay connected with onboard Wi-Fi, USB and 110V power outlets at every row, and up to three flat-screen video monitors with DVD/Blu-ray playback or HDMI inputs for streaming devices. The integrated sound system supports Bluetooth and auxiliary connections for music or announcements, and there’s a PA microphone either wired or wireless for addressing the whole cabin. Additional features include wood-look vinyl flooring, LED accent lighting, and a rear luggage area or underfloor storage bays on select models. If you need something specific—like leatherette upholstery, folding tray tables, or custom branding—we can upgrade or configure the bus to meet your exact requirements.

A 28-passenger minibus rental typically costs $150–$450+ per hour, $1,610–$3,465 per day, or $4.00–$9.95 per mile, with final pricing based on the length of your trip, mileage, and any additional services required. You’ll pay either an hourly, daily, or per-mile rate depending on the itinerary, plus expenses like tolls, parking fees, and a driver hotel if the trip runs overnight. Gratuity is included in the base quote, but venue parking passes and other incidentals are billed separately. The biggest factors affecting price are the time of year (summer and holidays are busiest), how far the bus has to travel empty to reach your pickup point, and whether you need any special amenities or custom branding. For the most accurate estimate, call us with your exact itinerary or use our online quote tool to compare options in real time.

Our 28-passenger minibus strikes the perfect balance between capacity, maneuverability, and cost for mid-size groups who need something larger than a van but more affordable and agile than a full-size charter bus. Compared to our smaller 18 or 20-seat minibuses, the 28-seater offers significantly more seating, better legroom, and additional amenities like multiple video monitors, rear luggage storage, and upgraded HVAC systems—making it ideal for longer trips or groups traveling with extra gear. While it doesn’t have onboard restrooms or the massive underfloor baggage bays of a 56-passenger motorcoach, it’s much easier to park, handles tight city streets and event venues with ease, and loads/unloads passengers quickly at curbside locations. This size is especially popular for corporate shuttles, wedding parties, athletic teams, and school groups because it keeps everyone together in one vehicle without overpaying for unused seats. If you need something bigger or smaller, we also offer minibuses ranging from 15 to 40 seats, sprinter vans for very small groups, and full-size charter buses up to 60 passengers—so you can always get exactly the right vehicle for your trip.

We recommend booking your 28-passenger minibus at least 3 to 6 months in advance to ensure the best availability, selection, and pricing—especially if your trip falls during peak season or overlaps with major local events. In Southern California, spring and summer are the busiest times of year due to weddings, graduations, corporate outings, and youth sports tournaments, while fall brings increased demand from school districts and college athletic programs. Local events like the OC Fair, Dana Point Festival of Whales, and Laguna Beach Pageant of the Masters can also make it harder to find last-minute vehicles. If you’re traveling during one of these high-demand periods—or if you need multiple buses, a custom-wrapped vehicle, or an ADA-accessible minibus—it’s best to reserve as early as possible. That said, we understand that not every trip can be planned months ahead, and we do our best to accommodate last-minute requests. If you need a minibus on short notice, give us a call anyway—we may still have something available, but your options could be limited and prices may be higher.

Our 28-passenger minibuses are designed to handle both people and their belongings efficiently, with flexible storage options that include overhead parcel racks inside the cabin, a rear luggage compartment at the back of the vehicle, and optional underfloor storage bays on select models. Typically, each passenger can bring one large “checked” bag (such as a suitcase or duffel) plus a smaller carry-on item like a backpack or tote. For larger items—such as sports equipment, musical instruments, or presentation materials—we can provide exact compartment dimensions and help you determine the best way to stow everything safely. If your group is traveling with extra baggage, please let us know when you request a quote so we can recommend a model with sufficient storage space or arrange for additional accommodations. We want to make sure everyone has room for their essentials without sacrificing comfort or aisle access during the trip.
