28 Passenger Minibus

Our 28-passenger minibuses are available in a wide range of exterior colors to match your event, organization, or personal preference—including black, white, silver, gray, blue, red, navy, and yellow. Need something special? We can also provide custom paint options or a full vinyl wrap with your company logo, school colors, or wedding graphics—perfect for branding and making your vehicle stand out. Interior color schemes typically include neutral tones like gray, tan, or charcoal upholstery with coordinating flooring and trim. If you have a specific color request, just ask—we’ll do our best to match it. Custom wraps and specialty colors are available on select models and may require additional lead time.

Every 28-passenger minibus comes standard with forward-facing high-back seats (cloth or vinyl), powerful front/rear HVAC, overhead parcel racks, rear luggage compartment, and a full sound system with Bluetooth/AUX input. Optional upgrades include onboard Wi-Fi, flat-screen monitors, DVD player, PA microphone, USB charging ports at every seat, and custom branding or exterior wraps. Additional amenities can include LED accent lighting, wood-look vinyl flooring, and upgraded upholstery packages. If you need something specific—like a beverage cooler, folding tables, or extra storage space—just ask when you book. We’ll make sure your minibus has exactly what you need for a comfortable, convenient trip.

Minibus rentals start at $150–$450+ per hour, $1,610–$3,465 per day, or $4.00–$9.95 per mile depending on trip length, schedule, and vehicle type. Your quote includes the bus, driver, fuel, and standard amenities; gratuity is included but tolls, parking fees, and hotel/lodging for the driver (on overnight trips) are not. Local trips within the Kansas City metro area are typically billed hourly while longer out-of-town or multi-day charters use daily or mileage-based rates.

The 28-passenger minibus hits the perfect sweet spot between capacity, comfort, and affordability—making it one of the most versatile and popular options in the Charter Bus Company Lenexa fleet. It seats nearly twice as many people as a 15-passenger van or sprinter, so it’s ideal for midsize groups that would otherwise need multiple smaller vehicles—but it’s still compact enough to navigate tight city streets, hotel zones, and airport curbside lanes where a full-size coach might struggle. Compared to larger minibuses (32–35 seats), the 28 offers similar amenities—like forward-facing high-back seats, strong A/C, overhead storage, rear luggage space, and optional Wi-Fi—while being easier to maneuver and park in urban or suburban settings. And while it doesn’t have the onboard restroom or massive baggage bays of a 56-passenger motorcoach, it’s much more budget-friendly and perfect for short-to-medium trips, fixed-route shuttles, and single-day charters. If you need something bigger or smaller, we offer everything from 15-seat sprinters to 56-seat coaches—but for most groups, the 28-passenger minibus is the best all-around value.

We recommend booking your 28-passenger minibus at least 3–6 months in advance—especially if you’re traveling during peak seasons, planning a large event, or need specific amenities and branding. Spring and summer are the busiest times of year due to graduations, weddings, sports tournaments, and corporate events, while fall sees increased demand from school districts, college athletics, and festival organizers. Major events like the Kansas City Marathon, Big 12 basketball, Chiefs and Royals games, and downtown conventions can also impact availability across the region. If you’re traveling over a holiday weekend, coordinating multiple vehicles, or require custom graphics and seating layouts, it’s best to reserve your minibus as early as possible to lock in the lowest rates and ensure the vehicle you want. Last-minute bookings are accepted based on availability, but selection may be limited and prices can increase as inventory fills up.

A 28-passenger minibus typically allows each passenger to bring one large “checked” bag—such as a suitcase or duffel—plus a smaller carry-on item like a backpack or tote. Luggage is stored either in a rear cargo compartment at the back of the cabin or in an underfloor storage bay beneath the main aisle, depending on the specific model. Overhead parcel racks above the seats are perfect for carry-ons, briefcases, and personal items, while larger bags are loaded into the main storage area before departure. If your group is traveling with bulky equipment—such as sports gear, musical instruments, or presentation materials—please mention this when booking so we can assign a minibus with adequate storage space. For trips requiring additional capacity, rooftop carriers or tow-behind trailers may be available for an extra fee. Our goal is to ensure every passenger has room for their belongings without crowding the aisles or compromising comfort.
