See Why Groups Choose 30 Passenger Minibuses
That's the beauty of comparing through a network instead of calling one company at a time — you get to see what's available for your group, your date, and your itinerary, all in one place! The 30-passenger minibus is a fantastic fit for groups that have outgrown a sprinter van but don't need a full-size 56-passenger motorcoach. In Santa Barbara, that matters.
These buses are compact enough to navigate the narrow streets of the Funk Zone, pull cleanly into hotel loading zones along Cabrillo Boulevard, and handle the winding roads up to the Santa Barbara Botanic Garden — without the oversized-vehicle headaches that come with a larger coach. Compare pictures, packages, and pricing side by side and choose the bus that works for you!
