More About 28 Passenger Minibuses
We connect you with a large network of independently owned transportation companies offering 25- to 28-passenger minibuses in Santa Cruz, so you can compare vehicles, photos, and pricing all in one place. A 28-passenger minibus rental hits the sweet spot for groups that are too large for a sprinter van but don't need a full-size 56-passenger coach. It's compact enough to follow West Cliff Drive west to where it ends at Natural Bridges State Beach, and spacious enough to keep all 28 passengers comfortable from pickup to drop-off.
That combination of size, flexibility, and comfort is exactly why the 28-passenger minibus is one of the most popular bus types in the network.

How much is a 28 Passenger Minibus rental?
Planning a 28 passenger minibus rental in Santa Cruz and want to know what it'll run you? Rates through the network typically range from $190 – $355+ per hour, $1,540 – $2,255+ per day, and $5.65 – $8.25+ per mile, but your actual quote depends on your travel date, trip distance, how many hours you need the vehicle, and which amenities you're after. A quick airport shuttle from San Jose Mineta International Airport (SJC) down Highway 17 into Santa Cruz will price differently than a full-day wine tour through the Santa Cruz Mountains AVA with stops at regional wineries.
Charter buses pick up at SJC's Terminal A Ground Transportation Center (Stop #4) and at Terminal B's Stop #11 in the middle island, so the whole group boards together at one stop. The fastest way to get an accurate number? Fill out one quick form, and you'll see instant online pricing from a large network of transportation companies serving Santa Cruz in under 30 seconds.
