28 Passenger Minibus

Our 28-passenger minibuses are available in a variety of colors to suit any occasion or branding requirement, including black, white, silver, grey, blue, red, navy, and yellow. If you need something more distinctive, we can arrange for custom wraps featuring your company logo, school mascot, or event graphics. This flexibility makes it easy to match the bus to wedding colors, corporate branding, or team spirit themes. Please specify your color preference when booking, and we’ll do our best to accommodate it based on current availability.

Every 28-passenger minibus comes standard with plush, forward-facing seats upholstered in cloth or vinyl, high-capacity air conditioning and heating, and large tinted windows for comfort and privacy. Overhead parcel racks provide space for backpacks and small bags, while optional rear luggage compartments can handle larger items. Most models include a public address system, flat-screen monitors with DVD/Blu-ray players, and multiple 110V power outlets or USB ports at each row. Upgrades such as leatherette seating, hardwood-style flooring, WiFi routers, and Bluetooth sound systems are available on select vehicles. Additional features may include LED accent lighting, PA microphones, and reinforced handrails. If you require ADA accessibility, some units can be equipped with wheelchair lifts and securement areas. We are committed to providing a comfortable and functional environment for every passenger.

Pricing for a 28-passenger minibus rental in Meriden starts at $150-$450+ per hour, $1,610-$3,465 per day, or $4.00-$9.95 per mile. The final cost depends on several factors, including the length and duration of your trip, the exact pickup and drop-off locations, and whether the service is hourly, daily, or mileage-based. Additional charges may apply for tolls, parking fees, and overnight accommodations for the driver if required. The best way to get an accurate quote is to contact us with your full itinerary details; we’ll provide a comprehensive estimate based on your specific needs.

The 28-passenger minibus strikes a perfect balance between capacity and maneuverability, making it larger and more comfortable than smaller 15- or 20-passenger shuttles, yet significantly more agile and cost-effective than a full-size charter bus. Unlike larger coaches that seat 40– 56 passengers, this mid-size option can navigate tighter streets and smaller venues in places like downtown Meriden or residential neighborhoods, while still offering ample seating and storage for medium-sized groups. It’s an ideal choice for organizations that get you a 23-seater too small but don’t need the extra size or expense of a 35+ passenger bus. In terms of amenities, it provides many of the same features as larger models—such as reclining seats, strong HVAC, entertainment systems, and optional WiFi—making it suitable for both short hops and longer excursions across Connecticut. If you’re unsure which size best fits your group, our team can help compare specs and recommend the most efficient option based on your headcount and luggage needs.

We recommend booking your 28-passenger minibus at least 3-6 months in advance, especially if your trip falls during peak season or coincides with major events in Meriden or nearby cities. Spring and summer dates tend to fill up quickly due to graduations, weddings, and festival schedules, while fall sees increased demand from schools and sports teams. If you’re planning a multi-day excursion or require multiple vehicles, securing your reservation early ensures the best selection and pricing. Last-minute bookings are possible but subject to availability; the sooner you confirm, the better.

Luggage capacity on a 28-passenger minibus is generous but varies slightly depending on the exact model and interior configuration. Most units feature either a rear-mounted luggage compartment or large underfloor storage bays, typically allowing each passenger one large ‘checked’ bag and one smaller carry-on. Overhead racks inside the cabin are suitable for backpacks, purses, or briefcases. If your group is traveling with extra equipment—such as musical instruments, sports gear, or trade show displays—please let us know in advance so we can assign a vehicle with maximum storage space. For trips requiring even more capacity, we can arrange for an additional trailer or recommend upgrading to a larger coach. Our goal is to ensure everyone’s belongings are safely stowed for the duration of the journey.
