28 Passenger Minibus

Our 28-passenger minibuses are available in a wide range of colors including black, white, silver, grey, blue, red, navy, and yellow. We can also provide custom wraps or decals for corporate branding, school logos, or special events upon request. If you have a specific color preference or need multiple buses to match, let us know when booking and we’ll do our best to accommodate. The most common choices for weddings and executive shuttles are black or white, while schools and sports teams sometimes opt for brighter colors.

Standard amenities on our 28-passenger minibuses include reclining seats with cloth or vinyl upholstery, overhead parcel racks, individual reading lights, climate-controlled air conditioning, and a public address system for announcements. Most models feature USB charging ports and 110V power outlets throughout the cabin, as well as onboard WiFi for internet access. Entertainment options include flat-screen monitors with DVD/Blu-ray players, and some buses offer HDMI inputs for streaming content from a laptop. There is no restroom, but the bus does include a luggage compartment in the rear or underfloor storage bay for bags and equipment. Additional features may include tinted windows, wood-look flooring, and upgraded sound systems depending on the exact model.

Pricing for a 28-passenger minibus rental in Methuen typically ranges from $150 to $450+ per hour, $1,610 to $3,465 per day, or $4.00 to $9.95 per mile depending on the exact vehicle, trip details, and time of year. Your quote will always include driver gratuity but does not cover additional expenses such as parking passes at venues (which you must purchase), tolls, or hotel accommodations for the driver on overnight trips. Exact pricing varies based on factors like total mileage, number of days, and current availability—rates may be higher during peak season or if buses need to be dispatched from another city. The fastest way to get an accurate quote is to call our team with your full itinerary and passenger count.

The 28-passenger minibus fills the gap between smaller shuttles and full-size charter buses, offering more seating than a 15- or 20-passenger model but still compact enough for urban routes and tight turnarounds. Compared to a 25-passenger minibus, it provides extra capacity and luggage space without a significant jump in cost or footprint. Larger groups may prefer a 35- or 40-passenger minibus for longer trips, while smaller parties can save money by choosing a 15- or 18-seater. The 28-passenger option remains one of the most flexible and popular choices for midsize groups who need something bigger than a van but more affordable than a motorcoach.

We recommend booking your 28-passenger minibus at least 3 to 6 months in advance, especially if your trip falls during peak season (spring and summer), involves multiple days, or requires specific amenities. Availability can become limited quickly due to high demand for weddings, graduations, corporate events, and school trips—particularly in May and June when many groups are traveling simultaneously. Last-minute reservations are possible but may result in higher prices or fewer options. Once you have confirmed dates and headcount, securing transportation early ensures the best selection and rates.

A 28-passenger minibus offers moderate luggage capacity, typically allowing each passenger one large ‘checked’ bag in the rear storage area or underfloor compartment (if equipped) and a smaller carry-on bag stored in overhead racks above the seats. The exact amount of luggage space depends on the specific model and configuration—buses with rear-mounted storage can fit more suitcases, while those without may require some bags to be placed in empty seats or aisles. For trips requiring additional cargo room, please inform your reservation specialist so we can assign a vehicle with maximum storage or arrange for separate baggage transport if necessary.
