28 Passenger Minibus

Our 28-passenger minibuses come in black, white, silver, gray, blue, red, navy, and yellow—and if you need something special, we can do a custom wrap with your logo or artwork. Most people go with black or white because it looks sharp and fits any event, but we keep other colors in stock for schools, sports teams, and corporate branding. The paint is tough, easy to clean, and holds up against sun and salt air. If you’re not sure what color works best, just ask—we’ll show you what’s available and help you pick the right one. Need your company name or graphics on the side? We handle that too.

Every 28-passenger minibus comes standard with high-back, forward-facing seats that recline and either cloth, vinyl, or upgraded leatherette upholstery. There’s strong air conditioning and heating front and rear, overhead storage racks, bright LED interior lighting, and a sound system with Bluetooth and USB so you can play music or make announcements from your phone. You get a flat-screen monitor up front, a PA mic, and either a hardwood-look vinyl floor or durable rubber flooring that’s easy to clean. Optional upgrades include Wi-Fi, 110V power outlets, folding tray tables, and a rear luggage compartment if you need extra storage. This is a comfortable, practical, and well-built minibus that handles longer trips without any hassle.

A 28-passenger minibus rental in Lompoc typically costs $150–$450+ per hour, $1,610–$3,465 per day, or $4.00–$9.95 per mile depending on the length of your trip, number of hours booked, and exact pickup/drop-off locations. Factors that affect pricing include peak-season demand, multi-day or out-of-town itineraries, tolls, parking fees, and whether the driver requires overnight lodging. Your quote includes the vehicle, driver, fuel, and standard gratuity but does not cover venue parking passes, tolls, or hotel accommodations for the driver on extended trips.

The 28-passenger minibus hits the sweet spot between our smaller 15–24-seat minibuses and the larger 35–56-seat full-size coaches, making it ideal for midsize groups that need something compact but still roomy. Compared to smaller models, you get more seating capacity, better headroom, and often additional amenities like rear luggage storage or multiple video screens. It’s easier to maneuver and park than a full-size charter bus, which is perfect for tight downtown streets or venue lots, but still offers forward-facing seats, strong HVAC, and optional upgrades like Wi-Fi and PA systems. If you’re moving a group that’s too big for a van but doesn’t need the expense of a 50-seater, this minibus gives you the best value and versatility in the fleet.

We recommend booking your 28-passenger minibus at least three to six months in advance—especially if your trip falls during a busy season like spring wine tours, summer weddings, or fall harvest events in the Santa Ynez Valley. Minibuses are popular for everything from Vandenberg Space Force Base shuttles to local school and sports travel, so the best vehicles and time slots fill up fast. Planning a holiday party, festival outing, or multi-day event? Lock in your reservation early to get the exact schedule and amenities you want. Last-minute bookings are possible if we have availability, but you’ll have more options and better pricing if you reserve ahead. Once you have your date and headcount, give us a call—we’ll get you a fast quote and make sure you’re set.

A 28-passenger minibus can comfortably hold one large suitcase or duffel bag per person plus a small carry-on item like a backpack or tote. Larger items are stored in a rear luggage compartment or underfloor bays if the bus has them, while smaller bags fit in overhead racks inside the cabin. This setup works well for airport transfers, multi-day trips, and groups traveling with bulky gear. If you need to bring coolers, equipment cases, or additional luggage, let us know when you book so we can assign a vehicle with extra storage space. Our team will make sure everything fits for the entire trip.
