How much does a 28 Passenger Minibus cost to rent?
With Newbedfordcharterbuscompany.com, securing an accurate price for your 28-passenger minibus rental in New Bedford takes less than 30 seconds — and you'll see numbers from a network of transportation companies, not a ballpark guess. That said, here's what the ranges actually look like: 28-passenger minibus rentals 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 downtown New Bedford hotel and a venue out in Dartmouth will price differently than a Tuesday corporate run up I-195 to Providence — and a handful of dates on the South Coast calendar, like the Feast of the Blessed Sacrament in late July/early August or peak summer weekends near the waterfront, mean higher demand and tighter availability across the whole region.
