30 Passenger Minibus

Our 30-passenger minibuses come in a wide range of colors to match any event or preference, including black, white, silver, grey, blue, red, navy, and yellow. We also offer custom wraps for branding or special occasions. Whether you need a classic white bus for a wedding, a black or navy minicoach for a corporate event, or something brighter for a school or sports team, we have options available. If you have specific color requirements, let us know when you book, and we’ll do our best to accommodate your request. Full custom wraps are available for an additional fee if you want to display company logos, advertising, or unique graphics for a special event or tour.

Standard amenities on 30-passenger minibuses include high-back reclining seats with either cloth or leatherette upholstery, overhead parcel racks for small bags, individual reading lights, and a full HVAC system with roof-mounted A/C capable of handling hot Midwestern summers. Entertainment features typically include a flat-screen monitor at the front (sometimes additional screens mid-cabin), DVD player, HDMI input for laptops, and a sound system with PA mic. There are USB charging ports distributed throughout the cabin, 110V outlets for larger devices, and Wi-Fi is available on select models. Flooring is usually vinyl for easy cleaning, and windows are either tinted or have pull-down shades. Entry is via a wide electric door with grab rails, and there’s space at the front or rear for coolers or additional luggage.

The cost to rent a 30-passenger minibus in Moorhead typically ranges from $1,200 to $3,500 per day, $150 to $450+ per hour, or $4.00 to $9.95 per mile, depending on the exact vehicle, trip details, and time of year. Final pricing depends on several factors including the length of your trip, the time of year, how many days you’ll need the vehicle, and the exact pickup location. For example, multi-day trips that require the bus and driver to stay overnight will cost more than a local Moorhead shuttle because you must cover lodging expenses for the driver. Busy seasons like spring sports, summer weddings, or college homecoming weekends often see higher demand and rates. Your quote will always include full amenities, mileage, and driver gratuity, but does not cover parking fees, venue permits, tolls, or hotel rooms for the driver on overnight trips. The best way to get an exact price is to call our team with your itinerary—we’ll give you a custom quote in minutes that fits your exact needs and budget.

The 30-passenger minibus is a mid-size option that fills the gap between smaller 18–24 passenger minibuses and full-size 47–56 passenger motorcoaches. Compared to a 20-passenger minibus, the 30-seater offers significantly more seating and luggage space, making it better suited for medium-sized groups or longer trips where extra room is appreciated. It’s easier to maneuver and less expensive than a 50+ passenger charter bus, while still providing many of the same amenities like reclining seats, climate control, and entertainment systems. This size is ideal for groups that are too large for a sprinter van but don’t need a full-size coach—such as wedding parties, corporate teams, or multiple families traveling together. If you’re unsure which size is best, our team can help you compare features and choose the right vehicle based on your headcount, baggage needs, and budget.

You should book your 30-passenger minibus at least three to six months in advance to guarantee the best selection and pricing—especially if your trip falls during a busy season or overlaps with major local events. Spring and summer dates fill up quickly due to overlapping demand from wedding parties shuttling between venues like the Hjemkomst Center or Bluestem Amphitheater, multiple school districts scheduling proms and graduation trips, and sports teams traveling for tournaments. Fall weekends can also sell out fast because of college homecomings, band competitions, and peak wedding season extending into October. If you’re planning anything that requires multiple buses, has special routing needs (like a hotel-to-downtown-Fargo loop), or involves an overnight stay where the driver will need accommodation, locking it in early gives you more flexibility and often secures a lower rate. Last-minute reservations are possible if a bus is available, but you may have to compromise on amenities or pay a premium. Once you have your date and rough itinerary, put down the deposit so the vehicle is reserved—it’s much easier to adjust a booking than scramble for equipment when everything is sold out.

A 30-passenger minibus typically accommodates one large suitcase per person in the rear luggage compartment or dedicated cargo area, plus a small carry-on or backpack stored either under seats or in overhead shelves. Rear cargo holds on these buses generally offer 100–150 cubic feet of storage space—enough for about 30 standard roller bags (22–24 inches) if packed efficiently. Overhead shelves above the seats can handle purses, laptop bags, and coats but aren’t large enough for full-size suitcases. If your group is traveling light—just backpacks and duffel bags—you’ll have plenty of room and may even be able to bring a few extra items like a folding stroller or musical instrument case. For trips requiring additional gear (coolers, sports equipment, presentation cases), it’s possible to fit them by slightly reducing the number of passengers or stacking soft-sided bags. However, if everyone has multiple large suitcases (as for an extended trip or airport transfer with international luggage), space will be tight and you may need to either limit baggage or arrange separate transport for excess items. There is no exterior under-floor baggage bay like on a full-size coach, so all luggage must fit inside the main cabin’s designated storage areas.
