28 Passenger Minibus

You can choose from a wide selection of exterior colors to match the style and tone of your event. Standard color options include black, white, silver, grey, blue, red, and navy. We also offer less common colors like yellow for school-related functions or even custom wraps if you want to display a company logo, wedding monogram, or other branding along the entire length of the bus. Black and white are the most popular choices because they fit any occasion—from formal weddings to casual group outings—but we’re happy to accommodate special requests when possible. If you need a specific color to coordinate with your event theme or organization colors, let us know and we’ll do our best to provide it.

Standard amenities on our 28-passenger minibuses include plush forward-facing seats with armrests and headrests, powerful air conditioning, overhead storage for small bags, USB ports for charging devices, and a premium sound system with Bluetooth and AUX inputs. There are multiple flat-screen monitors connected to a DVD player and HDMI input, so you can watch movies or give presentations on the road. The interior features LED lighting, tinted windows for privacy, and a PA system for announcements. Additional features include cup holders, luggage racks, and either a rear storage area or underfloor luggage compartment depending on the model. These buses are designed to keep passengers comfortable and entertained on any length of trip.

Renting a 28-passenger minibus in Montebello typically costs between $1,610 and $3,465 per day, or $150 to $450+ per hour, with exact pricing depending on the details of your trip. Per-mile rates range from $4.00 to $9.95, which is useful for long-distance trips where mileage exceeds daily minimums. Several factors influence the final price: the length and duration of your trip (multi-day and out-of-town trips cost more), the time of year (peak season like summer and holidays will be higher), and the exact pickup location (if the bus has to be delivered from outside the area, you’ll pay for that extra mileage).

What’s included in the quote: the base rental fee, standard driver gratuity, and full use of all onboard amenities. What’s not included: parking passes at venues (you’ll need to purchase these separately), tolls incurred during the trip, and hotel accommodation for the driver on overnight trips (you can either book the hotel yourself or we’ll add the cost to your invoice). Because each trip is unique, the best way to get an exact quote is to call us with your full itinerary. We’ll give you a precise, all-inclusive price and walk you through any additional costs so there are no extra charges.

The 28-passenger minibus hits a sweet spot between smaller sprinter vans and larger full-size coaches, offering significantly more seating and storage than a 15- to 20-passenger van while remaining much easier to maneuver and less expensive to operate than a 40- or 50-passenger motorcoach. Compared to a 15-passenger sprinter, the 28-passenger minibus gives each rider more personal space, higher-backed seats, and better access to amenities like overhead monitors and full-length parcel racks. While a 55-passenger coach bus is the best choice for very large groups or trips requiring maximum luggage capacity (such as airport transfers for multiple families with suitcases), it may be more vehicle than you need if your headcount is under 30—making the 28-passenger minibus a more economical and practical option for mid-sized groups.

To guarantee you get exactly the 28-passenger minibus you want, it’s best to book your reservation at least three to six months in advance—especially if your trip falls during peak seasons or overlaps with major local events. In Montebello and the greater Los Angeles area, spring and summer are extremely busy times due to wedding season, school graduations, and corporate event schedules; buses book up fast around these periods. Likewise, if you’re scheduling transportation for something that coincides with a big event—like a sports championship at SoFi Stadium, a concert series, or even a large convention downtown—you’ll be competing with high regional demand across all nearby cities including Downey, Pasadena, and Long Beach.

Last-minute bookings (less than a month out) can sometimes be accommodated if there’s still availability, but your choices may be limited in terms of bus color, interior layout, or specific amenities. You might also incur higher costs because securing a vehicle on short notice could require repositioning it from another city. To avoid these issues and have the most flexibility, locking in your minibus six months ahead is ideal. Once you provide your deposit, the vehicle is secured for your date and won’t be double-booked.

A 28-passenger minibus offers enough luggage capacity for each rider to bring one full-size suitcase plus a personal item, though exact storage space depends on the specific floor plan and whether the bus is equipped with rear or underfloor luggage compartments. Most models feature either a rear luggage area—accessed by a door at the back of the vehicle—or overhead parcel racks inside the cabin for smaller bags and backpacks.

If your group is traveling light, such as with just backpacks or duffel bags, all items can be stowed inside the cabin, making boarding and disembarking quick and efficient. For airport transfers or overnight trips where everyone has a roller bag, the rear luggage compartment will accommodate larger suitcases, but space is limited compared to a full-size coach; it’s a good practice to limit each person to one checked bag and one carry-on to ensure everything fits. If you anticipate needing to transport additional equipment—like musical instruments, sports gear, or display materials for a conference—please mention this when booking so we can assign a minibus with maximum available storage or suggest upgrading to a larger vehicle if necessary.
