28 Passenger Minibus

Our 28-passenger minibuses come in a wide range of standard and custom colors to match any event, branding, or personal preference. Available exterior colors include black, white, silver, grey, blue, red, navy, and yellow—perfect for everything from corporate and wedding transportation to school and athletic team travel. If you need something truly unique, we also offer custom wraps that can feature your company logo, school mascot, or any graphic design you choose. Interior color options include charcoal, tan, and blue cloth or vinyl upholstery, with optional upgrades to leatherette or two-tone seating. Whatever look you’re going for, we’ll make sure your minibus fits the part!

Every 28-passenger minibus comes loaded with standard amenities designed to keep your group comfortable, connected, and entertained for the entire ride. Enjoy high-back, forward-facing seats with optional recline and armrests, powerful front and rear HVAC for consistent climate control, and a full PA system with either a wired or wireless microphone. Stay entertained with a flat-screen TV mounted at the front (additional screens available), DVD/Blu-ray player, Bluetooth-compatible sound system, and HDMI/USB inputs for connecting laptops or tablets. Built-in Wi-Fi keeps everyone online, while USB-A/C charging ports at each row ensure devices stay powered. There’s a rear luggage compartment for larger bags, overhead parcel racks for carry-ons, and easy-access entry with grab rails. Additional options include upgraded upholstery, LED accent lighting, and custom exterior graphics.

A 28-passenger minibus rental typically costs $150–$450+ per hour, $1,610–$3,465 per day, or $4.00–$9.95 per mile, depending on your exact itinerary, trip length, and vehicle availability. Your quote includes the bus, driver, fuel, tolls, and standard amenities; gratuity is included. Additional expenses like parking passes at venues and driver lodging on overnight trips are not included. Please note that these are estimated rates—actual pricing may be higher during peak times or in high-demand markets.

The 28-passenger minibus is a mid-size option that bridges the gap between smaller shuttle-style minibuses (15–24 seats) and full-size motorcoaches (up to 56 seats), offering more capacity than compact models while remaining easier to maneuver and more affordable than larger buses. It’s ideal for medium-sized groups such as sports teams, wedding parties, corporate departments, or school outings who need to travel together without splitting into multiple vehicles. Compared to our larger charter buses, the 28-passenger minibus is less expensive to operate, can access tighter urban or suburban areas, and still provides many of the same amenities—including reclining seats, A/C, video monitors, Wi-Fi, and luggage storage. If you need something bigger or smaller, we also offer minibuses in 18, 20, 25, and 35-seat configurations, as well as full-size charter buses up to 56 passengers—just ask our team which option is best for your group size and budget.

We recommend booking your 28-passenger minibus at least 3–6 months in advance to ensure the best availability and pricing, especially if your trip falls during a busy season or involves a popular destination. In Kettering and the greater Dayton area, demand for charter buses tends to spike around major events like UD Flyers basketball games, Wright-Patterson AFB functions, and local festivals such as the Dayton Air Show and Celtic Festival. Spring and fall are also peak times due to school trips, weddings, and corporate events. While we can often accommodate last-minute requests, securing your reservation early gives you more options when it comes to vehicle selection, pickup times, and special amenities. If you’re planning a trip during a holiday weekend or to a high-traffic venue, consider booking even further in advance to guarantee availability.

A 28-passenger minibus typically includes both rear luggage storage and interior overhead compartments, allowing each passenger to bring one large “checked” bag plus a smaller carry-on item. The rear cargo area is ideal for suitcases, duffel bags, or equipment cases, while the overhead racks inside the cabin can accommodate backpacks, briefcases, and personal items. If your group is traveling with bulky gear—such as coolers, musical instruments, or athletic equipment—please mention this when booking so we can confirm dimensions and ensure everything fits comfortably. For trips requiring extra storage space, we may be able to upgrade you to a larger vehicle or add an additional minibus at a discounted rate. Our goal is to make sure every passenger has room for their belongings without crowding the aisle or seating area.
