30 Passenger Minibus

Our 30-passenger minibuses come in a variety of colors to suit any event or preference, including black, white, silver, grey, blue, red, navy, and even yellow. We also offer custom wraps if you want to add branding or specific graphics for your group. Whether you need something classic and understated like black or white, or something that stands out like red or blue, we have options available. If you have a specific color requirement, let us know and we’ll do our best to accommodate it.

Standard amenities on our 30-passenger minibuses include comfortable forward-facing seats with cloth or vinyl upholstery, individual reading lights, and adjustable air vents. There are overhead storage racks for small bags, a PA system for announcements, and either a rear luggage compartment or mid-coach storage area for larger items. The bus has dual entry/exit doors, tinted windows for privacy, and full climate control with roof-mounted A/C units. Additional features may include USB charging ports, WiFi, and flat-screen monitors, depending on the exact model.

The cost to rent a 30-passenger minibus in Mishawaka typically ranges from $1,200 to $3,500 per day, or $150 to $450+ per hour, depending on several factors. These include the time of year, length of your trip, number of days/hours, distance traveled, and exact location of your event. Larger cities and peak seasons (like spring weddings or fall football) will see higher rates due to increased demand. Your quote will always include gratuity for the driver but does not cover additional expenses such as parking fees at venues, tolls accrued during the trip, or hotel accommodations for the driver on overnight trips—those will be billed separately if applicable.

Because pricing can vary significantly based on availability and exact details, the best way to get an accurate estimate is to call our team or use our online quote tool with your full itinerary ready. We’ll give you a custom quote quickly so you can budget with confidence.

The 30-passenger minibus hits a sweet spot between smaller 15–25 passenger models and larger 35–50 passenger midsize coaches or full-size 55+ motorcoaches. Compared to a 15- or 20-passenger minibus, the 30-seater offers significantly more aisle space, headroom, and luggage capacity—making it better suited for longer trips or groups with extra gear. You get dual rear wheels for added stability, a wider body (typically 96 inches), and often a second door for faster boarding. While a full-size charter bus will have features like a restroom and underfloor baggage bays, the 30-passenger minibus is easier to maneuver, less expensive to operate, and doesn’t require the same infrastructure for loading. It’s ideal for groups too large for a standard van but not big enough to justify a 45-foot coach.

You should book your 30-passenger minibus rental at least three to six months in advance, especially if your trip falls during Mishawaka’s peak seasons like spring wedding months, summer festival schedules, or fall sports and college events around Notre Dame. Availability tightens significantly during major local events such as graduation weekends, large-scale conferences at the Century Center, or regional tournaments when multiple groups compete for the same fleet. Last-minute bookings (less than eight weeks out) may face limited vehicle selection or higher rates due to increased demand. Securing your reservation early ensures you get the exact amenities and floor plan you want while locking in the best pricing before schedules fill up. If your event is outside of Mishawaka city limits or requires specialty features, additional lead time is recommended to accommodate routing and customization.

A 30-passenger minibus can typically hold around 30 medium-sized suitcases—one per passenger—in either a rear luggage compartment or split between rear and mid-coach storage bays, depending on the floor plan. In addition to the main luggage area, there are usually overhead shelves inside the cabin for backpacks, briefcases, or small duffel bags. If everyone brings only a carry-on and a personal item, space won’t be an issue. But if your group has extra-large suitcases, musical instruments, or sports equipment, it’s best to check the exact storage dimensions for your specific bus. Some models maximize luggage volume by extending the rear overhang, while others prioritize cabin space with less room for bags. Let your reservation specialist know what you’ll be bringing so we can match you with a minibus that has sufficient storage.
