More About 28 Passenger Minibuses
The 28-passenger minibus is the sweet spot between a full-size 56-passenger motorcoach and a 15-passenger van — and in Cedar Rapids, that matters. It's compact enough to navigate the tight turns near Coe College on First Avenue NE, pull cleanly into the loading zones along Third Street SE in the NewBo District, and serve groups visiting the Paramount Theatre (123 Third Ave SE, Cedar Rapids, IA 52401) without blocking traffic. You'll find popular models like the Turtle Top Terra Transit and Starcraft Starlite in the network — many offer a center aisle, enough roof height to walk to your seat upright, and a climate-controlled cabin your group will actually appreciate on an Iowa January morning.
Why limit yourself to one fleet? Compare 28-passenger minibuses from a large network of providers serving Cedar Rapids — all in one place!

Amenities Commonly Found on 28 Passenger Minibus Rentals
The 28-passenger minibuses available through the network come loaded with amenities your group actually wants on a Cedar Rapids trip! Common amenities include air conditioning and climate control — critical when August humidity rolls off the Cedar River and again when January wind chills hit Linn County hard. Seats are commonly high-back reclining in leather or cloth depending on the model, with extra legroom so nobody arrives stiff after the ride from Marion or Hiawatha.
Many vehicles offer overhead compartments for carry-ons and day bags, along with a rear luggage area for roller bags and duffels. 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 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 to a 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 is a 28 Passenger Minibus rental?
28-passenger minibus rentals in Cedar Rapids 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 bachelorette night looping through the bars on First Avenue SE and the NewBo City Market area will price differently than a Tuesday morning airport transfer to Eastern Iowa Airport (CID) via Wright Brothers Boulevard SW. A handful of Cedar Rapids dates tighten availability across the whole metro — the Cedar Rapids Freedom Festival, which begins in June and culminates with its Celebration of Freedom on July 4, 2026, University of Iowa football home Saturdays in Iowa City, and spring prom weekends at Jefferson High School, Kennedy High School, and Washington High School.
Book early on those dates — waiting can limit availability and may affect rates. The fastest way to see current estimates for your exact trip? No need to fear, 30-second online pricing is here!
