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! In San Mateo, that matters. These buses are compact enough to navigate the tight turns off El Camino Real, handle the narrow approach roads near Hillsdale Shopping Center, and pull up cleanly at hotel loading zones along Fashion Island Boulevard — without the oversized-vehicle headaches that come with a full coach.
You'll have your pick of popular models like the Glaval Universal, Starcraft Starlite, Turtle Top Terra Transit, and more. Every one of them gives you 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.

Common Amenities Available on 28 Passenger Minibus Rentals
The 28-passenger minibuses available through the network come loaded with TONS of great features your group actually wants on a San Mateo trip! Every model includes air conditioning and climate control — critical when June fog rolls off the Bay and the temperature swings between the waterfront and the hills. Seats are high-back reclining in leather or cloth depending on the model, with extra legroom so nobody arrives stiff after a long ride up US-101.
Overhead compartments handle carry-ons and day bags (one bag per person), and a rear luggage area fits roller bags and duffels. 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. WiFi is available on many models — great for the team that wants to stay productive on the ride from San Mateo to a South Bay campus or up to the Financial District.
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 Mateo 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 San Mateo hotel and a venue in Burlingame will price differently than a Tuesday airport transfer to SFO — and a handful of dates on the Peninsula calendar have limited availability across the whole market, which means higher prices. SFO busy travel weekends, Giants home Saturdays at Oracle Park, and prom season across San Mateo and Hillsborough school districts all fill the calendar fast.
