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 Tampa, that matters. These buses are compact enough to navigate Channelside Drive, handle the tight approach to Amalie Arena on Channelside Drive, and pull up cleanly at hotel loading zones along Ashley Drive in downtown Tampa — without the oversized-vehicle headaches a full coach brings to narrow Ybor City streets or the congested stretch of Dale Mabry Highway near Raymond James.
You'll have your pick of popular models like the Glaval Universal, Starcraft Starlite, and Turtle Top Terra Transit. Every one of them gives you a center aisle, enough roof height to walk to your seat without ducking, and a climate-controlled cabin where all 28 passengers actually want to be.
Why limit yourself to one fleet? Compare 28-passenger minibuses from a network of providers serving Tampa and the surrounding area — all in one place, with instant 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 Tampa trip! Every model includes air conditioning and climate control — critical when July humidity hits and the temperature climbs past 90 before noon, and many builds run a secondary rear AC system so the back row stays 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 up I-4 toward Orlando.
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 down the Selmon Expressway.
WiFi is available on many models — great for the team that wants to stay productive on the ride from Tampa to a Sarasota client site. 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!

How much does a 28 Passenger Minibus cost?
28-passenger minibus rentals in Tampa 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 Westshore hotel and a venue in Hyde Park will price differently than a Tuesday airport transfer to TPA — and a handful of dates on the Tampa calendar have limited availability across the whole metro, which means higher prices.
Gasparilla in late January fills every bus in Hillsborough County weeks out. Tampa Bay Buccaneers home games at Raymond James Stadium (4201 N Dale Mabry Hwy, Tampa, FL 33607) do the same thing nine times a season. Prom season in April and May across Hillsborough and Pinellas County school districts is one of the single busiest stretches of the year.
Book early — waiting until the last minute costs more money than booking now.
