28 Passenger Minibus

Our 28-passenger minibuses are available in a variety of exterior colors, including black, white, silver, grey, blue, red, navy, and yellow. We also offer custom wraps for branding, school colors, or special events. Interior color options include standard grey, beige, or black upholstery, with upgraded leatherette available in select colors. If you need a specific color for your trip, please let us know when requesting a quote. We’ll do our best to match your preference and ensure you get a vehicle that fits your group’s style.

Every 28-passenger minibus comes standard with high-back, forward-facing seats upholstered in either cloth or upgraded leatherette/vinyl. Each seat includes individual three-point seat belts, armrests, and optional recline for added comfort. Overhead parcel racks run the length of the cabin on both sides, allowing passengers to store backpacks, briefcases, or carry-on-sized bags within easy reach. A full-length center aisle ensures smooth boarding and movement throughout the vehicle. The cabin is illuminated by energy-efficient LED lighting, including optional accent lighting along the ceiling or floor. Advanced climate control features include powerful front and rear HVAC units capable of maintaining a consistent temperature even during extreme weather conditions. Integrated air ducts ensure even distribution of cool or warm air throughout the passenger area. A public address (PA) system with either wired or wireless microphone allows the driver or group leader to make announcements heard clearly by all passengers. Optional entertainment packages include one or two flat-screen monitors mounted at the front or mid-cabin, DVD/Blu-ray player, and auxiliary HDMI input for connecting laptops or gaming consoles. Bluetooth-enabled sound systems allow passengers to stream music directly from their smartphones or tablets through the vehicle’s speakers.

Connectivity options include onboard Wi-Fi supported by a 4G/5G cellular router, providing internet access for email, web browsing, or video conferencing while on the road. Each seating row is equipped with at least one 110V AC outlet and dual USB-A/C ports for keeping devices charged throughout the trip. Luggage storage options include either a rear cargo compartment accessible via double doors at the back of the minibus or an underfloor storage bay located beneath the main cabin floor. Additional storage space is available in open areas near the entryway or along the sidewalls for oversized items such as coolers, folding tables, or athletic equipment. Safety features include anti-lock brakes, electronic stability control, backup camera, and optional lane departure warning systems. Exterior LED lighting improves visibility during nighttime loading or unloading. Optional upgrades include custom vinyl wrap featuring company logo or school colors, roof-mounted emergency exit hatch, and upgraded alloy wheels for improved appearance and performance.

Pricing for a 28-passenger minibus rental in Lacey starts at $150–$450+ per hour, $1,610–$3,465 per day, or $4.00–$9.95 per mile, depending on the specifics of your trip. Your quote always includes the base rental fee and driver gratuity, but does not cover additional expenses like parking passes at venues, tolls, or hotel accommodations for the driver on overnight trips. Please note that these are estimated rates; actual pricing may be significantly higher depending on factors such as vehicle availability, seasonal demand, and exact pickup location. To get real-time pricing tailored to your specific trip details, call our 24-hour reservations team at 360-706-1090 or use our online quote tool. We recommend booking early to secure the best rate and ensure availability of your preferred vehicle.

The 28-passenger minibus offers a unique blend of capacity, comfort, and maneuverability that sets it apart from both smaller and larger vehicles in our fleet. Compared to our 18- or 20-passenger minibuses, the 28-seater provides significantly more seating without a substantial increase in overall length, making it ideal for midsize groups that would otherwise need to split up or upgrade to a much larger vehicle. It’s perfect for athletic teams, corporate shuttles, or wedding parties who want to travel together in one vehicle. While it doesn’t have the same level of amenity as our full-size 56-passenger motorcoaches—such as onboard restrooms or multiple video monitors—it still offers reclining seats, powerful HVAC, and optional Wi-Fi and PA systems. The minibus is also easier to maneuver and park than a full-size coach, making it a better choice for trips into downtown areas or venues with limited parking. Ultimately, the 28-passenger minibus fills an important gap in our fleet and is one of the most versatile and popular vehicles we offer.

We recommend booking your 28-passenger minibus at least three to six months in advance, especially if your trip falls during a busy season or coincides with major local events. In the Lacey area, vehicles tend to book up quickly around graduations, sporting events, and summer weddings. Spring and fall are also popular times for school trips and corporate outings, which can affect availability. By reserving early, you’ll have the best selection of vehicles and can lock in your rate before prices go up. If you need a minibus on short notice, give us a call anyway—we’ll do our best to find something that fits your needs.

A 28-passenger minibus can typically accommodate one large suitcase and one carry-on bag per passenger, either in a rear luggage compartment or under the floor. Overhead storage racks inside the cabin are ideal for smaller items like backpacks, briefcases, or gym bags. If your group is traveling with bulky equipment—such as musical instruments, sports gear, or presentation materials—let us know when you request a quote so we can match you with a vehicle that has adequate storage space. For trips requiring additional cargo room, we can arrange for a trailer or recommend a larger vehicle with expanded luggage capacity. Just tell your reservation specialist what you’ll be bringing, and we’ll make sure everything fits.
