More About 28 Passenger Minibuses
The 28-passenger minibus is the sweet spot for groups that have outgrown a Sprinter van but don't need a full 56-passenger motorcoach taking up half a loading zone on Market Street. In Charleston, that distinction matters. These vehicles are compact enough to navigate the tight blocks of the French Quarter, pull cleanly into the hotel loop near Waterfront Park on Concord Street, and make the run across the Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge into Mount Pleasant without the oversized-vehicle headaches a full coach brings.
Popular models in the network include the Starcraft Starlite, Turtle Top Terra Transit, and Glaval Universal — all center-aisle builds commonly designed with enough roof clearance to walk to your seat standing upright. Why limit yourself to one fleet? Compare 28-passenger minibuses from a network of providers serving Charleston and the surrounding Lowcountry — all in one place, with online pricing and vehicle photos, no account required!

Common Amenities Available on 28 Passenger Minibus Rentals
Many 28-passenger minibuses available through the network commonly include amenities your group will appreciate on a Charleston trip! Air conditioning and climate control are common features — essential when August humidity on the Charleston Peninsula makes a five-minute walk feel like a workout. Depending on the model, seats may be high-back reclining in leather or cloth, with extra legroom so nobody arrives stiff after the drive down US-17 from Myrtle Beach or along US-17 from Savannah.
Many models offer overhead compartments for carry-ons and day bags, and a rear luggage area for roller bags and duffels for groups with more gear. Depending on the vehicle offered, you may 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 and group leaders, and Bluetooth/AUX stereo so your playlist runs the whole way. WiFi is available on many models — great for the team staying productive on the ride between a Charleston hotel and a client site in Summerville.
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!

What does a 28 Passenger Minibus rental cost?
28-passenger minibus rentals in Charleston 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 wedding shuttle looping between a hotel on King Street and a venue on Folly Beach will price differently than a Tuesday airport transfer to CHS. A handful of Charleston dates can tighten availability across the metro around major local events: Spoleto Festival USA ran May 22 through June 7, 2026; MOJA Arts Festival is scheduled for September 24 through October 4, 2026; and The Citadel's 2027 commencement is scheduled for May 8, 2027.
