More About 28 Passenger Minibuses
The 28-passenger minibus hits a sweet spot that a full-size 56-passenger motorcoach simply can't. In Santa Rosa, that matters — these buses are compact enough to navigate the tight turns on Mendocino Avenue through the Railroad Square Historic District, pull cleanly into the loading zone at Luther Burbank Center for the Arts (50 Mark West Springs Rd, Santa Rosa, CA 95403), and handle the winding stretches of Sonoma Highway (CA-12) heading toward Kenwood and Glen Ellen without the clearance headaches that come with a larger coach. Popular models include the Starcraft Starlite, Glaval Universal, and Turtle Top Terra Transit — every one of them gives you a proper center aisle, enough roof height to walk to your seat standing upright, 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 Santa Rosa and the surrounding Wine Country all in one place, with instant online pricing and vehicle photos — no account needed!

Amenities Commonly Found on 28 Passenger Minibus Rentals
The 28-passenger minibuses available through the network come loaded with TONS of great features your group actually wants on a Santa Rosa trip! Every model includes air conditioning and climate control — critical when August heat builds along the Sonoma Valley floor, and many builds run a secondary rear AC system so the back row stays as cool as the front. Seats are high-back reclining in leather or cloth depending on the model, with extra legroom so nobody arrives stiff after a long run up US-101 from Marin County.
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 through Wine Country. WiFi is available on many models — great for the corporate team that wants to stay productive on the ride from Santa Rosa to a South Bay client site.
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 does a 28 Passenger Minibus cost to rent?
28-passenger minibus rentals in Santa Rosa 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 winery tour looping through Dry Creek Valley and the Russian River Valley AVA will price differently than a Tuesday morning airport transfer to STS — and a handful of dates on the Sonoma County calendar have limited availability across the whole North Bay, which means higher prices. The Sonoma County Fair runs August 7 through August 16, 2026 at the Sonoma County Fairgrounds (1350 Bennett Valley Rd, Santa Rosa, CA 95404), the Sonoma Wine Country Weekend fills Labor Day weekend, and Russian River Valley Pinot Noir Festival draws crowds each June — those weekends book out fast.
