More About 28 Passenger Minibuses
Call it the sweet spot of group transportation. The 28-passenger minibus is roomy enough for a full corporate team or a big family gathering, but compact enough to navigate the East Bay without the oversized-vehicle headaches that come with a full-size 56-passenger motorcoach. In Berkeley, that distinction matters — per the UC Berkeley visitor bus loading and unloading zones, groups unload in the red zone at the bottom of the Haas Grand Staircase (2227 Piedmont Avenue) and get picked up in the white loading zone at 2521 Bancroft Way at Telegraph, and since Bancroft Way runs one-way westbound, the smaller vehicle is the one that gets in and out clean.
You'll have your pick of popular models like the Glaval Universal, Starcraft Starlite, Turtle Top Terra Transit, and more — each one giving 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. Why limit yourself to one fleet? Compare 28-passenger minibuses from a network of providers serving Berkeley and the surrounding area — all in one place, with instant online pricing and vehicle photos, no account needed!

Amenities Commonly Found on 28 Passenger Minibus Rentals
Get a load of what's waiting for your group on the 28-passenger minibuses available through the network! Every model includes air conditioning and climate control — critical when August fog burns off and the temperature swings between the marina and the Berkeley 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 from SFO.
Overhead compartments handle carry-ons and day bags (one bag per person), and a rear luggage area fits roller bags and duffels for groups with more gear. 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 Berkeley to a South Bay campus.
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 is a 28 Passenger Minibus rental?
Fill out one form and you'll have pricing in under 30 seconds — no account, No waiting for callbacks to get pricing, no guessing. 28-passenger minibus rentals in Berkeley 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 Downtown Berkeley hotel and a venue in the Berkeley Hills will price differently than a Tuesday airport transfer to OAK — and a handful of dates on the Berkeley calendar have limited availability across the whole East Bay, which means higher prices. Cal commencement isn't one afternoon: the campuswide ceremony fills California Memorial Stadium in mid-May, but individual department graduations run across roughly two weeks on either side of it, so the first half of May books out early.
Home football dates do the same thing seven times a fall — and the Big Game against Stanford in November is the toughest date of the year to find a vehicle. Enter your date, group size, and pickup location to land on a results page showing vehicles, photos, and pricing from a network of bus companies serving Berkeley and the East Bay — or call 510-356-6370 any time and a live agent will build a custom package around your itinerary!
