More About 28 Passenger Minibuses
The 28-passenger minibus hits a sweet spot that a full-size 56-passenger motorcoach simply can’t. Santa Barbara’s street grid — tight turns off State Street, the narrow approach to Santa Barbara Municipal Airport on Fairview Avenue, the congested Stearns Wharf drop-off loop on Cabrillo Boulevard — rewards a vehicle compact enough to navigate without drama. You’ll find popular models like the Glaval Universal and Starcraft Starlite in the network, each with a center aisle, enough headroom to walk to your seat standing upright, and a climate-controlled cabin that handles the marine layer and afternoon heat alike.
Why limit yourself to one fleet? Compare 28-passenger minibuses from a network of providers serving Santa Barbara and the surrounding area — all in one place, with instant online pricing and vehicle photos, no account needed!

How much is a 28 Passenger Minibus rental?
28-passenger minibus rentals in Santa Barbara 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. A Saturday wine tour looping through the Santa Ynez Valley on Highway 154 prices differently than a Tuesday morning transfer to Santa Barbara Municipal Airport (SBA) — and a handful of Santa Barbara dates, like the Santa Barbara Bowl summer concert season and the Santa Barbara International Film Festival each February, tighten availability across the whole market fast. No need to fear, 30-second online pricing is here!
