28 Passenger Minibus

Our 28-passenger minibuses are available in a wide range of standard and custom colors to match any event, branding, or personal preference. Standard exterior color options include black, white, silver, grey, blue, red, navy, and yellow. If you need something unique, we also offer custom wraps in any color or design you choose—including full-color graphics, logos, and advertising wraps. The interior color scheme typically features neutral tones such as grey, black, or beige upholstery with matching trim, but custom upholstery and accent colors are available upon request. Whatever look you need, we can provide a minibus that fits your style.

Every 28-passenger minibus comes loaded with amenities to keep your group comfortable and connected on the road. Standard features include high-back reclining seats with optional leatherette upholstery, individual reading lights, powerful front and rear air conditioning, and a full sound system with Bluetooth and AUX inputs. Stay entertained with flat-screen monitors, DVD players, and optional Wi-Fi for streaming and internet access. Need to charge devices? There are 110V outlets and USB ports at every row. Storage options include overhead parcel racks, a rear luggage compartment, and additional space under the seats. Other popular upgrades include PA systems, tinted windows for privacy, and custom exterior graphics or wraps. No matter where you’re headed, this minibus has everything you need for a smooth, enjoyable ride.

A 28-passenger minibus rental in Lakeville typically costs between $150 and $450 per hour, $1,610 to $3,465 per day, or $4.00 to $9.95 per mile. The final price depends on several factors: the length of your trip (hourly vs. daily vs. mileage rates), the time of year (peak seasons like summer and holidays are more expensive), and how far the bus has to travel empty to reach your pickup location (deadhead). Additional costs can include tolls, parking fees, and lodging for the driver on overnight trips. Fuel and standard amenities are included in the base rate, but optional upgrades like Wi-Fi, DVD monitors, or custom wraps may cost extra.

The 28-passenger minibus hits the sweet spot between capacity, comfort, and maneuverability—making it one of the most versatile vehicles in our fleet. Compared to smaller minibuses (15-24 seats), it offers significantly more seating, better luggage storage, and upgraded amenities like flat-screen monitors, PA systems, and Wi-Fi. While it doesn’t have the massive seating capacity of a full-size charter bus (up to 56 passengers), it’s much easier to maneuver in urban settings, fits into tighter parking areas, and is ideal for medium-sized groups that don’t need a 40+ foot vehicle. It’s also more budget-friendly than a larger coach, with lower hourly and daily rates. If you need something bigger than a van but don’t want to step up to a full charter bus, the 28-passenger minibus is the perfect middle ground—it’s affordable, flexible, and loaded with the same great amenities as our larger buses.

We recommend booking your 28-passenger minibus at least 3 to 6 months in advance to ensure availability and get the best rates—especially if your trip falls during peak travel times or coincides with major local events. In the Twin Cities region, spring and summer are extremely busy due to wedding season, graduations, and events like the Minnesota State Fair, while fall sees high demand from school trips and sports teams. Corporate events, conferences, and holiday parties can also fill up the calendar quickly. If you’re traveling during one of these peak periods, aim to reserve your minibus closer to the six-month mark. For trips scheduled during less busy times, three months’ notice is usually sufficient. Last-minute bookings are possible, but selection may be limited and prices can be higher. Once you have your dates and headcount confirmed, contact us right away to lock in your reservation.

Our 28-passenger minibuses are designed to handle both people and their baggage efficiently, making them ideal for airport transfers, longer trips, or any event where luggage is a factor. Each minibus comes equipped with either a rear luggage compartment or side-mounted storage bays, providing ample space for suitcases, duffel bags, and equipment cases. On average, you can expect to fit one standard-sized suitcase per passenger, along with smaller carry-on items that can be stored in overhead racks inside the cabin. If your group is traveling with bulky items like sports gear, musical instruments, or presentation materials, just let us know—we’ll make sure you have the storage space you need. And because loading and unloading is quick and easy, you won’t waste time waiting for your bags at the end of your journey.
