More About 28 Passenger Minibuses
The 28-passenger minibus is a great pick for groups that don't need a full-size 56-passenger motorcoach! In Costa Mesa, that matters. These buses are compact enough to navigate the tight drop-off loop at the Segerstrom Center for the Arts (600 Town Center Drive, Costa Mesa, CA 92626), handle the congested stretch of Bristol Street during South Coast Plaza weekend traffic, and pull up cleanly at hotel loading zones along Anton Boulevard — without the oversized-vehicle headaches that come with a full coach.
You'll have your pick of popular models like the Glaval Universal, Starcraft Starlite, and Turtle Top Terra Transit. Many 28-passenger minibuses commonly offer 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 Costa Mesa and the surrounding area — all in one place, with estimated online pricing and vehicle photos, no account needed!

Popular Amenities 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 Costa Mesa trip! Models commonly include air conditioning and climate control — critical when a hot August afternoon at the OC Fair pushes temperatures higher and your group is boarding after a long day on the fairgrounds. Seats may be high-back reclining in leather or cloth depending on the model, with extra legroom so nobody arrives stiff after the run down the 55 Freeway from Anaheim.
Overhead compartments may handle carry-ons and day bags, and a rear luggage area can fit 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 Costa Mesa 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.

How much does a 28 Passenger Minibus cost to rent?
28-passenger minibus rentals in Costa Mesa 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 evening shuttle looping between a Costa Mesa hotel and a concert at the Pacific Amphitheatre (100 Fair Drive, Costa Mesa, CA 92626) at the OC Fair & Event Center will price differently than a Tuesday corporate transfer to John Wayne Airport — and a handful of dates on the Orange County calendar have limited availability across the whole market, which means higher prices.
The annual OC Fair typically runs in July and August; the 2026 Fair ran from July 17 through August 16, and the official 2025 attendance was 1,162,872. The OC Fair & Event Center is at 88 Fair Drive, Costa Mesa, CA 92626, and its official directions identify connections through the 55, 405, and 73. Pacific Amphitheatre's OC Fair concert schedule follows the Fair's 23-day run.
Prom season in April and May can also create demand for minibuses across Orange County. For those event dates, booking early is wise.
