15 Passenger Minibus

We offer 15-passenger minibuses in a wide range of colors including black, white, silver, grey, blue, red, navy, and yellow. For corporate or special event use, we can provide custom wraps or decals featuring your organization’s branding, logo, or message. The most popular choices for weddings and executive transport are black and white, while schools and youth groups sometimes request brighter colors for visibility. If you have a specific color preference or need multiple buses to match, let us know when booking—we’ll do our best to accommodate your request.

Standard amenities on our 15-passenger minibuses include reclining vinyl or cloth seats, strong roof-mounted air conditioning, overhead parcel racks or rear luggage area, LED interior lighting, PA system with microphone, Bluetooth-capable stereo, USB charging ports, and tinted windows. Many models also feature flat floors for easy movement, double rear doors for fast boarding, and either front or rear HVAC controls. Additional options available upon request include WiFi hotspot, 110V power outlets, extra luggage storage, and custom exterior graphics for corporate or team branding. If you require a specific feature not listed here, please ask—our fleet is large and flexible.

The cost to rent a 15-passenger minibus in Mankato typically ranges from $150–$430+ per hour, $1,520–$3,255 per day, or $4.00–$7.95 per mile, with exact pricing based on the length of the trip, total mileage, and whether the job is local or out-of-town. Peak demand periods such as college move-in week at MSU, large events at Mayo Clinic Health System Event Center, or summer wedding season can increase rates due to limited availability. Additional charges may apply for overnight trips requiring hotel accommodations for the driver, tolls, and parking fees at venues. For the most accurate quote, contact us with your full itinerary—including pickup/drop-off times and addresses—so we can calculate a flat rate that covers all expenses except parking passes and lodging if needed.

The 15-passenger minibus is one of the smallest and most affordable options in our fleet, making it ideal for short trips, tight budgets, and groups too large for a single van but not big enough to justify a full-size bus. It offers more headroom, aisle space, and luggage capacity than a typical 12- or 14-passenger van, while being easier to maneuver and park than a 20- or 30-passenger midsize bus. Unlike larger models, it can navigate residential streets, sharp corners, and low-clearance areas with ease. Compared to a school bus, it provides better climate control and softer seating; compared to a motorcoach, it’s less expensive and faster to load/unload, though without restrooms or underfloor storage.

We recommend booking your 15-passenger minibus at least 3–6 months in advance to ensure availability and lock in the best rate, especially if your trip falls during a busy season or coincides with a major local event. In Mankato, demand spikes around college move-in/move-out days at MSU, high school tournament season, and summer weekends when multiple weddings and festivals are scheduled. Last-minute bookings are possible if we have inventory, but prices may be higher and selection limited. Once you confirm your itinerary, securing transportation early will save you time, money, and stress later on.

Luggage capacity on a 15-passenger minibus varies by model but generally accommodates one carry-on bag per person in overhead racks plus several large suitcases or equipment cases in a rear cargo area or under-seat space. If your group is traveling with minimal baggage—such as briefcases, backpacks, or small duffel bags—everything will fit comfortably inside the main cabin. For airport transfers, sports teams, or band trips requiring extra storage, we can assign a bus with an extended rear compartment or arrange for a separate trailer if necessary. Please specify your luggage needs when requesting a quote so we can match you with the right vehicle.
