More About 28 Passenger Minibuses
With 28 seats, this minibus hits the sweet spot between a compact sprinter van and a full-size charter bus — big enough to keep your whole group together, nimble enough to navigate the tight turns on Main Street and the congested blocks around Third Street Promenade without the oversized-vehicle headaches that come with a 56-passenger motorcoach. Santa Monica's beach-adjacent streets, hotel loading zones along Ocean Avenue, and the approach roads near the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium all favor a vehicle this size. You get a comfortable, climate-controlled cabin for everyone, without paying for 28 empty seats on a full-size coach.

Common Amenities Available on 28 Passenger Minibus Rentals
It just got easier to find a 28-passenger minibus loaded with the amenities your group actually wants! Every model in the network comes with air conditioning and climate control — essential when the marine layer burns off and the temperature climbs inland. Seats are high-back and reclining, in leather or cloth depending on the model, with extra legroom so nobody arrives stiff after a long ride up the 405.
Overhead compartments handle carry-ons and day bags (one bag per person), and a rear luggage area fits roller bags and duffels for groups with more gear. You'll also find power outlets and USB charging ports, flat-screen monitors with DVD or HDMI input, a PA system with wireless mic for tour guides or group coordinators, and Bluetooth/AUX stereo so your playlist runs the whole ride. WiFi is available on many models — great for the team that needs to stay connected on the way to a client meeting in Culver City or a conference at the Regent Santa Monica Beach.
Onboard restrooms are available on select models, and ADA-accessible vehicles with lifts and wider aisle space are available on request — just mention it when you fill out your quote. Whatever your group needs, you'll find options to match through the network!

How much does a 28 Passenger Minibus cost to rent?
Check your pricing in under 30 seconds using the online quote tool right on this page — no account, No waiting for callbacks to get pricing, no guessing! 28-passenger minibus rentals in Santa Monica cost $190–$355+ per hour, $1,540–$2,255+ per day, and $5.65–$8.25+ per mile depending on the provider, the date, and the specific vehicle. A Saturday night run from a Santa Monica hotel down to a venue in Marina del Rey will price differently than a Tuesday morning airport transfer to LAX — and a handful of dates on the LA calendar pull every available bus in the region at once. The Rose Bowl Game on January 1, Coachella weekends in April, and USC and UCLA home football Saturdays all tighten availability across the entire metro.
Prom season in late April and May across Santa Monica High School, Crossroads, and every other Westside district is one of the busiest stretches of the year for minibuses — book as early as you can so you save money and lock in the vehicle you actually want.
