More About 28 Passenger Minibuses
The 28-passenger minibus hits the sweet spot for Chico groups that have outgrown a Sprinter van but don't need a full 56-passenger coach rolling down The Esplanade. These buses are compact enough to navigate the tight turns near Bidwell Park on Vallombrosa Avenue, pull cleanly into hotel loading zones along Manzanita Avenue, and serve groups visiting Chico State's Bell Memorial Union without the oversized-vehicle headaches that come with a full motorcoach. Popular models include the Glaval Universal, Starcraft Starlite, and Turtle Top Terra Transit — these models are designed with a center aisle, roof height that can allow passengers to walk to their seats upright, and a climate-controlled cabin intended to accommodate up to 28 passengers.
Why limit yourself to one fleet? Compare 28-passenger minibuses from a network of providers serving Chico and the surrounding North Valley — all in one place, with online pricing and vehicle photos, no account needed!

Popular Amenities on 28 Passenger Minibus Rentals
The 28-passenger minibuses available through the network come loaded with features your group actually wants on a Chico trip! Many models include air conditioning and climate control — useful when summer temperatures in the Sacramento Valley are high on the drive to Chico Municipal Airport or back from a winery stop in the Sierra Nevada foothills. Seats are often high-back reclining in leather or cloth depending on the model, with legroom designed to help passengers stay comfortable.
Overhead compartments can handle smaller carry-ons and day bags, while a rear luggage area can fit roller bags and duffels for groups with more gear. Depending on the vehicle offered, you may also find power outlets and USB charging ports, flat-screen monitors with DVD or HDMI input, a PA system with wireless mic for tour guides or group leaders, and Bluetooth/AUX stereo so your playlist runs the whole way. WiFi is available on many models — great for the team that needs to stay connected on the ride down I-5 to a Bay Area campus.
Onboard restrooms are available on select models, and ADA-accessible vehicles with wheelchair lifts may be available on request — just mention it when you fill out your quote!

How much is a 28 Passenger Minibus rental?
28-passenger minibus rentals in Chico cost $190–$355+ per hour, $1,540–$2,255+ per day, and $5.65–$8.25+ per mile depending on the provider, the date, and the specific vehicle.

Local demand can increase around the Chico Concours on September 26, 2026, Chico Oktoberfest on October 2–3, 2026, and the Chico Open Studios Art Tour on October 10–11 and 17–18, 2026.
