More About 28 Passenger Minibuses
The 28-passenger minibus is a great pick for groups that don't need a full-size 56-passenger motorcoach — and in San Francisco, that distinction matters more than in most cities. These buses are compact enough to navigate the pinch points on Market Street, make the tight approach to Chase Center drop-off on Terry A. Francois Boulevard, and pull cleanly into hotel loading zones along Van Ness Avenue — without the oversized-vehicle headaches that come with a full coach. Popular models like the Glaval Universal, Starcraft Starlite, and Turtle Top Terra Transit give your group a center aisle, enough roof height to walk to your seat standing up, and a climate-controlled cabin where nobody's sitting on a lap.
Why limit yourself to one fleet? Compare 28-passenger minibuses from a network of providers serving San Francisco and the surrounding Bay Area — all in one place, with instant online pricing and vehicle photos, no account needed!

What’s Typically Included on 28 Passenger Minibus Rentals
The 28-passenger minibuses available through the network come loaded with features your group actually wants on a San Francisco trip! Every model includes air conditioning and climate control — critical when June fog rolls in off the Bay and the temperature swings fifteen degrees between the Ferry Building and Twin Peaks. Seats are high-back reclining in leather or cloth depending on the model, with extra legroom so nobody arrives stiff after a long ride down US-101 from SFO.
Overhead compartments handle carry-ons and day bags — one bag per person — and a rear luggage area fits roller bags and duffels for groups with more gear. You'll 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 you can run your own playlist the whole way across the Bay Bridge. WiFi is available on many models — great for the team that wants to stay heads-down on the ride from the Embarcadero to a South Bay campus.
Onboard restrooms are available on select models, and ADA-accessible vehicles with rear or side wheelchair lifts are available on request. Just mention it when you fill out your quote!

How much does a 28 Passenger Minibus cost to rent?
28-passenger minibus rentals in San Francisco 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 wedding shuttle looping between a Nob Hill hotel and a venue in the Marin Headlands prices differently than a Tuesday airport transfer to SFO — and a handful of San Francisco dates have limited availability across the whole Bay Area market, which means higher prices fast. Dreamforce at Moscone Center fills every available vehicle in the city for days.
Fleet Week over Columbus Day weekend does the same thing along the Embarcadero. Outside those peaks, the fastest way to see numbers for your exact trip is to use the 30-second online quote tool — enter your date, group size, and pickup location to land on a results page showing vehicles, photos, and pricing from a network of bus companies serving San Francisco and the surrounding area, no account needed. Or call 415-523-8355 any time and a live agent will build a custom package around your itinerary.
You'll also have additional options in your quote to choose from like party buses, 25-passenger minibuses, 35-passenger minibuses, and more!
