30 Passenger Minibus

Our 30-passenger minibuses are available in a wide range of exterior colors to match your event, corporate branding, or personal preference—including black, white, silver, grey, blue, red, navy, and yellow. Need something custom? We also offer full vinyl wrap packages that allow you to display company logos, team colors, wedding graphics, or any other design you choose—perfect for making a strong first impression at special events or promotional outings. Just let your reservation specialist know what color or custom wrap you need when you request a quote, and we’ll make sure you get exactly the look you want.

Every 30-passenger minibus comes standard with forward-facing high-back seats upholstered in either cloth or upgraded vinyl/leatherette, powerful dual-zone air conditioning, and ample storage space—including overhead parcel racks and either rear luggage area or underfloor baggage compartments depending on the model. Entertainment features include one or more flat-screen monitors, DVD/Blu-ray player, HDMI input for connecting laptops/tablets, and a Bluetooth-capable sound system that lets you play music or announcements directly from any mobile device. Optional upgrades include onboard Wi-Fi, USB/110V power outlets at every row, PA microphone, and custom interior lighting packages. Additional amenities can include wood-look flooring, upgraded upholstery, folding tray tables, and tinted windows for privacy and comfort. If you need something specific—like Wi-Fi, video screens, or USB ports at every seat—just ask when you request a quote.

A 30-passenger minibus rental in Lake Elsinore typically costs between $150 and $450+ per hour, $1,610 to $3,465 per day, or $4.00 to $9.95 per mile, depending on the exact bus model, trip duration, mileage, and time of year. The final price is influenced by several key factors: the length and distance of your trip (local vs. out-of-town or multi-day), how many hours or days you need the bus, whether you’re traveling during peak seasons (spring and summer are busiest), and any additional expenses like tolls, parking fees, or lodging for the driver on overnight trips. Your quote will include the bus, driver, fuel, and standard amenities; gratuity is also included. Not included are any parking passes at venues (which you’ll purchase separately), tolls incurred during the trip, or hotel accommodations for the driver on overnight trips. Please note: these are estimated rates and actual pricing may be significantly higher depending on availability and location. To get real-time, all-inclusive pricing for your specific trip, call us anytime at 951-614-5450 or use our online quote tool. We’ll get you an exact number fast—often in less than 30 seconds.

The 30-passenger minibus strikes an ideal balance between seating capacity, maneuverability, and cost—making it one of the most versatile and popular options in our entire fleet. Compared to smaller minibuses (15–28 seats), it offers significantly more room for larger groups while still being compact enough to navigate tight city streets, hotel zones, and event venues where full-size coaches can’t easily go. Unlike larger charter buses (40–56 seats), it’s easier to fill, quicker to load and unload, and less expensive to operate—perfect for mid-sized groups who don’t need a giant vehicle but want something bigger than a standard shuttle. You get many of the same amenities as the big buses—reclining seats, A/C, video screens, Wi-Fi, luggage storage—without the extra size or expense. That’s why so many people choose the 30-passenger minibus: it’s big enough to handle serious group travel, small enough to stay flexible, and built to keep everyone comfortable on trips of any length.

We recommend booking your 30-passenger minibus at least 3–6 months in advance to ensure you get the exact vehicle and dates you want—especially if your trip falls during a busy season or involves a major event. Spring and summer are peak times for weddings, graduations, sports tournaments, and corporate outings in Lake Elsinore, so buses tend to book up quickly. Large events like the Lake Elsinore Grand Prix, Storm baseball games, or regional festivals can also impact availability. If you’re traveling during the off-season (late fall or winter), you might be able to secure a bus with less notice, but it’s always better to reserve early if you have fixed dates. Last-minute bookings are possible if we have open vehicles, but your choices may be limited and prices can be higher. Once you have your trip details—dates, destination, headcount—contact us right away to lock in your reservation and get the best rate.

A 30-passenger minibus typically allows each passenger to bring one large “checked” bag plus one smaller carry-on item, thanks to a combination of rear luggage compartments (or underfloor storage bays on select models) and overhead parcel racks inside the cabin. For most groups, this means everyone can travel with a rolling suitcase or duffel bag stored in the back or beneath the floor, along with a backpack, tote, or briefcase kept above their seat. If your group is traveling light—say, just backpacks or gym bags—you’ll have no trouble fitting everything on board. For trips requiring extra storage, such as airport transfers with bulky luggage, sports teams with equipment, or corporate groups with presentation materials, be sure to mention this when booking so we can match you with a minibus that meets your exact needs. Additional storage solutions like roof-mounted cargo boxes or trailer hitches may be available upon request.
