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 New Bedford, that matters. These buses are compact enough to navigate the narrow streets of the Cobblestone Historic District near Union Street, handle the tight approach to Pier 3 at the State Pier for ferry connections to Cuttyhunk Island, and pull up cleanly at hotel loading zones along Route 6 — without the oversized-vehicle headaches that come with a 56-passenger coach.
You'll have your pick of popular models like the Starcraft Starlite, Turtle Top Terra Transit, Glaval Universal, and more. Every one of them gives you a center aisle, enough roof height to walk to your seat standing up, a climate-controlled cabin, and enough room that nobody's sitting on a lap.
Why limit yourself to one fleet? Compare 28-passenger minibuses from a network of providers serving New Bedford and the entire South Coast — all in one place, with instant online pricing and vehicle photos, no account needed!

Amenities Commonly Found 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 New Bedford trip! Every model includes air conditioning and climate control — critical when August humidity rolls in off Buzzards Bay, 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-195.
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.
WiFi is available on many models — great for the team that wants to stay productive on the ride from New Bedford to a Boston meeting. 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 to rent?
28-passenger minibus rentals in New Bedford 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 shuttle looping between downtown New Bedford hotels and a Whaling Museum fundraiser gala prices differently than a Tuesday airport transfer to TF Green in Warwick — and a handful of dates on the New Bedford calendar tighten availability across the whole South Coast, which means higher prices.
New Bedford Whaling Museum galas, the NB Roots & Branches Festival in July, and summer ferry season out of the State Pier all pull demand fast. Prom season in late April and May across New Bedford High School and Dartmouth High School is one of the single busiest stretches of the year. Book early and you save money — it really is that simple.
