Everything You’ll Love About 20 Passenger Minibuses

These buses are the sweet spot for groups that don't need a massive coach but want more room and more amenities than a standard SUV or van. You'll find popular models loaded with modern features, a center aisle, and enough roof height to walk to your seat standing up instead of climbing over a bench.

Popular Amenities on 20 Passenger Minibus Rentals
Ready to see what's available for your trip? The 20-passenger minibuses in the network come loaded with TONS of great features your group actually wants! Every model includes air conditioning and climate control — critical when the Santa Barbara sun is blazing along the waterfront and the back row needs to stay just 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 ride. 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 Santa Barbara down to Los Angeles. Onboard restrooms are available on select models, and ADA-accessible vehicles with lifts are available on request. Just mention it when you fill out your quote!
