How Much Does A 20 Passenger Minibus Rental in Salinas Cost?
Local minibus rentals (up to 50 miles) are typically billed hourly, with rates from $157–$414 per hour depending on vehicle size, amenities, and time of year. Longer trips are charged either by the day ($1,300–$3,100) or by the mile ($4.00–$7.00), with the best pricing available on multi-day packages. Peak-season weekends and trips requiring deadhead (empty miles from our yard to your pickup) will be at the higher end of the scale.

Amenities Available on our 20 Passenger Minibuses in Salinas
Wi-Fi
Every 20-passenger minibus comes standard with 4G/5G Wi-Fi supporting up to 30 devices simultaneously. Perfect for streaming music, joining Zoom calls, or uploading photos while you’re stuck on Highway 101 or heading over Reservation Road to the coast. Guests can stay connected to social media, email, and cloud files without eating into their data plan. The network is secured with WPA2 encryption and can be customized with a guest password upon request.
Onboard Restrooms
Our 20-passenger Grech GM28 and Turtle Top VT3 minibuses can be equipped with a half-bathroom (toilet and hand sanitizer) at the rear of the cabin. This is essential for longer runs between Salinas and San Jose or Paso Robles, reducing unscheduled stops and keeping the schedule tight. The restroom is ventilated, easy to clean, and accessible without stepping off the coach. If you require a minibus with a restroom, please specify when booking—some configurations trade the lavatory for additional luggage space.
Onboard TVs
Flat-screen monitors are mounted throughout the cabin—typically one at the front and one mid-coach—on all our 20-passenger minibuses. These screens can play DVDs, run a video presentation from a laptop via HDMI, or display content from a USB drive. Sports teams can review game footage, business groups can run training videos, and kids’ groups can watch movies en route. Sound plays through the bus speakers for full-audio playback.
Power Outlets
There are 110V AC outlets and USB-A/C ports at every row, so passengers can charge laptops, tablets, and phones while on the move. Larger devices (projectors, medical equipment) can also be powered during the trip. Staying charged is never an issue, even on the longest legs.
Climate Control with Personal Air Vents
Advanced HVAC keeps the cabin comfortable year-round, with powerful A/C for hot valley days and efficient heating for chilly mornings. Individual air vents above each seat allow passengers to fine-tune airflow. The system maintains a consistent temperature front to back, regardless of weather.
Leather Seating
High-back seats upholstered in premium leatherette come standard on all 20-passenger minibuses. The material is durable, easy to wipe down, and gives the interior an upscale feel. Seats recline for comfort, with padded headrests and optional armrests.
Overhead & Undercarriage Storage
Carry-on bags, backpacks, and jackets can be stowed in overhead racks running the length of the cabin. Larger items—duffel bags, coolers, equipment cases—fit in a rear cargo area accessible from inside or through double doors at the back. There’s ample room for everyone’s gear.
