35 Passenger Minibus

Our 35-passenger minibuses are available in a wide range of standard and custom colors to fit any type of event or branding need. Standard exterior colors include black, white, silver, grey, blue, red, navy, and yellow—perfect for matching corporate colors, school spirit, or wedding party themes. For clients who want something truly unique, we also offer custom wraps: you can provide your own design for a full-vehicle wrap, whether that’s a company logo, team graphics, or special-event branding. Interior finishes typically come in neutral tones like charcoal, beige, or light gray, but some models offer upgraded upholstery in coordinating colors. No matter what look you’re going for, we have a color option that will fit your budget and make your minibus stand out.

Every 35-passenger minibus comes standard with high-back, forward-facing seats upholstered in durable cloth or optional leatherette/vinyl for easy cleaning. Reclining seats, headrests, armrests, and either rear luggage space or underfloor storage bays depending on the exact model. Buses come with powerful front/rear air conditioning, flat-screen monitors, DVD/Blu-ray players, Bluetooth/USB/HDMI inputs, Wi-Fi, 110V outlets, LED reading lights, and PA/microphone systems. We run multiple color options—black, white, silver, gray, blue, red, navy, yellow—or you can request a custom wrap for branding or special events.

A 35-passenger minibus rental typically costs between $150–$450+ per hour, $1,610–$3,465 per day, or $4.00–$9.95 per mile. The final price depends on several factors: the length of your trip (hourly, daily, or mileage-based billing), the time of year (peak seasons like summer and holidays are more expensive), and the exact pickup/drop-off locations (long-distance or out-of-area trips incur additional charges). Additional fees may include tolls, parking, and lodging for the driver on multi-day trips. To get an exact quote for your trip, call our team anytime at 805-875-5590 with your itinerary details.

The 35-passenger minibus hits a sweet spot between smaller shuttle-style vehicles and full-size charter buses, making it one of the most versatile options in our fleet. Compared to a 15-, 20-, or 28-seat minibus, this model offers significantly more seating capacity without a huge jump in overall length, so it still handles tight downtown streets and hotel parking lots with ease. You’ll get many of the same amenities found on larger coaches—like reclining seats, strong HVAC, video monitors, and optional Wi-Fi—but at a lower price point and with better fuel efficiency. Storage is generous for luggage or athletic gear, though not quite as extensive as a 56-passenger charter bus with full underfloor bays. If you need to move 30–40 people affordably, comfortably, and without stepping up to a full-size coach, this minibus is the best value on the road.

We recommend booking your 35-passenger minibus at least 3–6 months in advance to ensure availability and lock in the best rate—especially if your trip falls during peak season or coincides with a major local event. In Lompoc, spring and summer dates fill up quickly due to weddings, wine-country tours, and Vandenberg Space Force Base operations; fall brings harvest festivals and school athletics; and December sees a spike in holiday travel. Last-minute bookings are possible but may limit your vehicle options and increase the cost, as inventory tightens across the region. If you’re planning a multi-day trip, need multiple buses, or require custom branding, it’s even more important to reserve early so we can secure exactly what you need. Once you have your date and rough itinerary, call Charter Bus Company Lompoc at 805-875-5590—we’ll get you a fast quote and hold your minibus with a simple deposit.

Our 35-passenger minibus offers flexible storage options to accommodate both carry-on and larger luggage items, making it ideal for groups traveling with baggage. Each minibus is equipped with either rear luggage compartments or underfloor storage bays, depending on the exact model. Typically, you can expect to fit one large “checked” suitcase per passenger in the main storage area—up to 35 full-size bags—and still have room for additional items like duffel bags or equipment cases. Inside the cabin, overhead parcel racks run along both sides of the aisle for smaller carry-on items, backpacks, or personal belongings. This setup ensures that everyone can bring their essentials onboard without cluttering the seating area, while larger items are securely stowed below or at the rear of the vehicle. If your group has special storage needs—such as coolers, athletic gear, or presentation materials—just let us know when you book and we’ll make sure you have the right configuration.
