35 Passenger Minibus

Our 35-passenger minibus fleet comes in a wide range of colors to suit any type of event or personal preference. Standard color options include black, white, silver, grey, blue, red, navy, and yellow. If you’re looking for something unique, we also offer custom wraps so you can personalize the exterior with your company logo, wedding monogram, or any other design. Whether you want a classic look for a formal event or a bold color that stands out, we have a bus that will match your vision. Just let us know if you have a specific color preference when booking, and we’ll do our best to accommodate it.

Standard amenities on our 35-passenger minibuses include cushioned reclining seats, individual air conditioning vents, overhead reading lights, USB charging ports, flat-screen monitors, DVD player, WiFi hotspot, Bluetooth-capable sound system, PA microphone, overhead luggage racks, and either vinyl or carpeted flooring. Additional features may include seatback tray tables, 110V power outlets, and tinted windows for extra privacy. If you need something specific, just ask—we’ll match you with a bus that has exactly the features your group wants.

The cost to rent a 35-passenger minibus in Mishawaka typically ranges from $1,500 to $3,500 per day, or $150 to $450+ per hour, depending on the exact size, manufacturer, amenities, length of trip, and time of year. Per-mile pricing usually falls between $4.00 and $9.95. Your quote will include standard gratuity for the driver, but does not cover parking fees at venues (which you’ll need to purchase separately), tolls incurred during the trip, or the cost of a hotel room for the driver on overnight trips. Please note that these are estimated rates—actual pricing may be significantly higher or lower depending on real-time availability, exact pickup location, and current demand.

The best way to get an accurate quote is to call our team with your full itinerary, or use our online quote tool for instant pricing on available vehicles. We always provide full-fleet pricing so you can choose the best option for your budget.

A 35-passenger minibus hits the perfect middle ground between smaller 18– 28 passenger minibuses and full-size 47– 56 passenger charter buses, offering significantly more seating and luggage capacity than the smallest models while remaining easier to maneuver and more budget-friendly than the largest coaches. Compared to a 25-passenger minibus, the 35-passenger version adds an extra row of seats, wider aisles, larger overhead storage, and often a second entry door, making boarding faster for big groups. You’ll notice the difference if you’re loading athletic gear, band instruments, or multiple coolers for a tailgate—there’s simply more room to spread out without stacking bags in the aisle.

While a 56-passenger motorcoach doubles the capacity and includes features like a restroom and full underfloor baggage bays, many 35-passenger minibuses now offer similar amenities—such as WiFi, USB charging, PA system, and flat screens—at a lower price point and with greater flexibility for short or mid-range trips. If you don’t need to move 50+ people at once but want something bigger and more capable than a standard shuttle, the 35-passenger minibus is the sweet spot in our fleet.

You should book a 35-passenger minibus in Mishawaka at least three to six months in advance to guarantee the best selection and pricing, especially if your trip falls during peak seasons like spring wedding months, summer festival weekends, or fall sports and college event schedules. Larger vehicles such as this mid-size minibus are among the first to sell out because there are fewer of them available compared to smaller shuttles, and they hit the sweet spot for medium-to-large groups who don’t want to split across multiple buses or pay for a full-size coach.

If you’re scheduling transportation around major local events—such as a University of Notre Dame football game, a large downtown Mishawaka wedding at Ironworks Plaza, or a corporate outing that overlaps with other regional bookings—securing your reservation six months ahead is strongly recommended. Last-minute bookings (inside 30 days) may face limited availability and higher prices, as remaining inventory tends to be either premium or subject to additional repositioning fees if a suitable vehicle must be brought in from another city.

The luggage capacity of a 35-passenger minibus is typically sufficient for each passenger to bring one standard carry-on bag and one small personal item, such as a backpack or tote. Most 35-passenger minibuses are equipped with either rear luggage compartments or overhead storage racks. The rear luggage compartment can usually accommodate around 20–25 carry-on suitcases or duffel bags, while the overhead racks are ideal for smaller items like purses, laptop bags, or coats. If your group is traveling with larger suitcases, musical instruments, or sports equipment, storage space may be limited and it’s important to mention this when booking so we can arrange a vehicle with additional cargo space if needed. For trips requiring substantial luggage—such as airport transfers or multi-day excursions—it’s best to confirm exact storage dimensions in advance to ensure everything fits comfortably.
