20 Passenger Minibus

Our 20-passenger minibuses are available in a wide range of exterior colors to match your event, branding, or personal preference—including black, white, silver, gray, blue, red, navy, and yellow. Need something special? We can provide custom wraps or decals with your company logo, school colors, or wedding graphics for an additional fee. Just ask our team about current inventory and customization options when you request a quote.

Standard amenities on our 20-passenger minibuses include forward-facing high-back seats with either cloth or leatherette upholstery, powerful front and rear air conditioning, individual reading lights, and a full-length center aisle for easy boarding and exiting. Each minibus comes equipped with a flat-screen monitor at the front (and additional screens on longer models), DVD player, Bluetooth-capable sound system, USB charging ports at every row, and a PA/microphone system for announcements or guided tours. There’s overhead storage above the seats for backpacks and personal items, plus either a rear luggage compartment or underfloor storage bays for larger bags and equipment. Optional upgrades include onboard Wi-Fi, 110V power outlets, upgraded sound packages, custom seat fabrics/colors, and exterior branding or wraps with your company or event logo.

The cost to rent a 20-passenger minibus typically ranges from $150 to $440+ per hour, $1,610 to $3,365 per day, or $4.00 to $8.95 per mile, depending on the specifics of your trip. Final pricing is based on factors like total mileage, trip duration, number of days, time of year, and pickup/drop-off locations. Additional charges may apply for tolls, parking fees, and driver lodging on overnight trips. Every quote includes a standard gratuity for the driver.

The 20-passenger minibus hits the sweet spot between capacity, comfort, and affordability—making it one of the most versatile vehicles in our fleet. It’s significantly larger and more comfortable than a 15-passenger van or sprinter, with better headroom, wider aisles, and real baggage space, but far easier to maneuver and park than a full-size charter bus. If you need something smaller, we offer minibuses down to 15 seats; if you need more capacity, our minibuses scale up to 35–38 passengers before moving into the 40–56-seat motorcoaches. No other vehicle offers this combination of seating, amenities, and flexibility—it’s why the 20-passenger minibus is the backbone of so many corporate, campus, and event shuttle programs across California.

We recommend booking your 20-passenger minibus at least three to six months in advance—especially if your trip falls during a busy season or coincides with major local events. In the Central Valley, spring and summer dates fill up fast due to weddings, graduations, and festival weekends, while fall sees heavy demand from school athletics and harvest-related travel. Large events like the Big Fresno Fair, Clovis Rodeo, and college football games can also impact availability. Booking early ensures you get the exact vehicle and schedule you want, but if you have a last-minute need, give us a call—we’ll do everything we can to find you a bus.

Our 20-passenger minibus rentals offer flexible storage options to accommodate your group’s luggage and equipment. Each minibus features overhead parcel racks inside the cabin for backpacks, briefcases, and smaller carry-on items. For larger bags, there’s either a rear luggage compartment at the back of the vehicle or optional underfloor storage bays beneath the passenger area—depending on the specific model. Typically, you can plan on each passenger bringing one standard carry-on plus one larger suitcase or duffel bag. If your group has extra baggage—like sports gear, band equipment, or presentation materials—just let us know when you book, and we’ll make sure you have the space you need.
