28 Passenger Minibus

Our 28-passenger minibuses come in a wide range of colors to suit any type of event or personal preference, including classic black, white, silver, grey, blue, red, navy, and even yellow for school or youth group trips. If you’re looking for something truly unique, we also offer custom wraps so you can display company branding, wedding graphics, or team logos along the entire exterior of the bus. Whether you need a sleek black or white minibus for a formal event, a brightly colored option to stand out in traffic, or a fully wrapped vehicle for maximum visual impact, we have a color choice that will match your vision. Just let us know if you have a specific color requirement when booking, and we’ll do our best to accommodate it.

Amenities on our 28-passenger minibuses include high-back reclining seats with cloth or leatherette upholstery, individual reading lights, USB charging ports at each row, overhead parcel racks for backpacks and small bags, and a full HVAC system with roof-mounted A/C. Entertainment features include a PA system, Bluetooth-capable sound system, dual flat-screen monitors with HDMI input, and WiFi router. There is either a rear luggage compartment, underfloor storage bay, or roof-mounted pod for suitcases. Additional features include LED interior lighting, tinted windows, cup holders, and wide entry door with electric steps.

The cost to rent a 28-passenger minibus in Moorhead typically ranges from $150 to $450+ per hour, $1,610 to $3,465 per day, or $4.00 to $9.95 per mile. Final pricing depends on several factors including the length of your trip, the time of year, the exact pickup location, and how many days you’ll be using the vehicle. Multi-day trips that require the bus to stay overnight will increase the total cost, especially if a hotel room needs to be provided for the driver. Seasonal demand also plays a big role—rates are higher during peak times such as spring wedding season, summer festival months, or fall sports and college event schedules around MSUM and Concordia.

Additional expenses not included in the base quote may include parking fees at your destination, tolls along the route, and lodging for the driver on out-of-town trips. Because each itinerary is unique, the best way to get an accurate estimate is to call us with your full trip details. We’ll give you a precise, all-inclusive quote so you know exactly what to expect.

The 28-passenger minibus sits right in the middle of our fleet in terms of size, making it a versatile choice for groups that are too large for a 15-20 passenger sprinter but don’t need a full 47-56 passenger coach bus. Compared to smaller minibuses, the 28-seater offers significantly more seating and luggage capacity, as well as upgraded amenities like dual video screens, PA system, and additional luggage storage either in a rear trunk or over the roof. It’s easier to maneuver and less expensive to operate than a full-size charter bus, making it ideal for short to medium trips, shuttles, and events where budget and flexibility are important.

Larger buses will have features like a restroom, more underfloor luggage bays, and extra legroom, but for most local and regional trips, the 28-passenger minibus hits the sweet spot between comfort, capability, and cost-effectiveness. If you’re not sure what size is best for your group, our team can help you compare options and choose the right vehicle based on headcount, baggage needs, and trip length.

You should book your 28-passenger minibus rental at least three to six months in advance to guarantee the best selection and pricing, especially if your event falls during a busy season or holiday weekend. Spring and summer dates fill up quickly due to overlapping weddings, graduations, and festival schedules, while fall demand is driven by school athletics, college trips, and corporate functions. In Moorhead, major local events like MSUM homecoming, downtown Fargo street fairs, or regional sports tournaments can significantly limit vehicle availability across the entire fleet. Last-minute reservations—anything inside of four weeks—will have fewer options and may cost more because of the extra logistics involved in dispatching a bus on short notice.

If your trip is happening over a holiday such as Memorial Day, Fourth of July, or Labor Day, it’s critical to secure your booking as early as possible since these dates often sell out completely. The general rule is: as soon as you have your schedule and headcount finalized, place the reservation. This not only locks in the bus but also the quoted rate, protecting you from potential price increases as inventory tightens. We operate on a first-come, first-served basis, and no vehicle is held without a signed contract and deposit.

The 28-passenger minibus is designed to handle a substantial amount of luggage, typically allowing each passenger to bring one full-size suitcase plus a personal item or backpack. Most models are equipped with either a dedicated rear luggage compartment, underfloor storage bays, or large overhead shelves running the length of the cabin. The rear luggage area can accommodate approximately 20–25 standard roller bags, while overhead racks are ideal for smaller duffel bags, laptop cases, or coats. If your group is traveling light—such as commuters or wedding guests—there will be ample space for everyone’s belongings without crowding the aisle.

For trips requiring extra cargo capacity, such as airport transfers with musical instruments or sports equipment, please specify your needs when booking so we can assign a minibus with maximum storage or suggest alternatives like a trailer attachment. While the 28-passenger minibus offers generous luggage room for its class, exact capacity varies slightly between manufacturers and floor plans, so it’s always best to confirm specifics based on your group’s packing habits.
