More About 28 Passenger Minibuses
The 28-passenger minibus is the sweet spot for groups that have outgrown a Sprinter van but don't need a full-size 56-passenger motorcoach. In Columbia, that size advantage is real. These buses are compact enough to navigate the tight turns around the Vista district on Gervais Street, pull cleanly into hotel loading zones along Bull Street, and handle the narrow approach roads near Finlay Park — 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, and Turtle Top Terra Transit. These vehicle types commonly offer a center aisle, ample headroom, and a climate-controlled cabin sized for the advertised passenger capacity; confirm the exact layout and features of the vehicle offered. Why limit yourself to one fleet?

Amenities Commonly Found on 28 Passenger Minibus Rentals
The 28-passenger minibuses available through the network may include TONS of great features your group actually wants on a Columbia trip! Many models offer air conditioning and climate control — critical when August humidity in the Midlands is high and your group just walked out of a two-hour session at the Columbia Metropolitan Convention Center. Seats may be high-back reclining in leather or cloth depending on the model, with additional legroom on some vehicles so nobody arrives stiff after the run down I-26 from Lexington or up I-77 from Fort Jackson.
Overhead compartments may handle carry-ons and day bags, and a rear luggage area may fit roller bags and duffels for groups with more gear. Depending on the vehicle offered, you may also find power outlets and USB charging ports, flat-screen monitors with DVD or HDMI input, a PA system with wireless mic for tour leaders and group coordinators, and Bluetooth/AUX stereo so your playlist runs the whole way. WiFi may be available on some models — great for the team that needs to stay productive on the ride between downtown Columbia and a client site in Irmo or Cayce.
Onboard restrooms may be available on select models, and ADA-accessible vehicles with rear or side wheelchair lifts may be available on request — just mention it when you fill out your quote and confirm the features of the vehicle offered!

How much is a 28 Passenger Minibus rental?
28-passenger minibus rentals in Columbia 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 shuttle looping between a Five Points hotel and Williams-Brice Stadium will price differently than a Tuesday airport transfer to CAE — and dates with major local events may have limited availability across the Midlands market, which can affect estimates. USC home football Saturdays at Williams-Brice Stadium (1125 George Rogers Blvd, Columbia, SC 29201) book out months in advance, and USC's May 6–8, 2027 commencement weekend is another period when groups may want to arrange transportation early.
