Trips and Events in Mankato a 30 Passenger Minibus Is Great For
A 30 passenger minibus is one of the most versatile vehicles you can rent—large enough to handle mid-sized groups but still compact enough to maneuver through city streets and tight parking lots. In Mankato, these buses are perfect for shuttling wedding guests between ceremony and reception venues, transporting sports teams to games at Caswell Park or the Mayo Clinic Health System Event Center, organizing church outings or youth group trips, and providing corporate commuter service for local businesses.
They’re also ideal for airport runs to MSP, bachelor/bachelorette parties in downtown bars, concert trips to Vetter Stone Amphitheater, or even daylong excursions to Valleyfair or the Minnesota Zoo. Whatever kind of event you’re planning, a 30 seater gives you the flexibility to move everyone together on a single schedule without having to coordinate multiple smaller vehicles.

Frequently Asked Questions About our 30 Passenger Minibuses
What Colors Are Your 30 Passenger Minibuses Available In?
Our fleet includes 30 passenger minibuses in a wide range of colors and finishes to suit any occasion. Standard options include black, white, silver, grey, blue, red, navy and yellow. For corporate clients or special events, we can provide vehicles with a more upscale appearance, including full black-out packages or two-tone paint schemes.

Let us know if you have a specific color preference when booking, and we’ll do our best to accommodate your request.
What Amenities Come Standard on Your 30 Passenger Buses?
Standard amenities on our 30 passenger minibuses include high-back reclining seats with either forward-facing or perimeter (limo-style) configuration, dual-zone heating and air conditioning, large tinted windows, overhead storage racks, LED interior lighting, and a premium sound system with CD/DVD player and AUX/Bluetooth inputs. Most models feature 2-4 video monitors for entertainment, PA microphone for announcements, and multiple 12V/USB charging ports for passenger electronics.
Luggage can be stored either in a rear trunk area or in dedicated bays beneath the floor, depending on the exact model. Additional features such as Wi-Fi connectivity, hardwood-look vinyl flooring, and color-changing accent lights are available on select vehicles.
How Much Does a 30 Passenger Minibus Rental Cost, and What Factors Change the Price?
Pricing for a 30 passenger minibus rental depends on several factors including the length of the trip, number of days required, distance traveled, and current demand for vehicles. Rates typically range from $150 to $450+ per hour, $1,610 to $3,465 per day, or $4.00 to $9.95 per mile. Your quote will include standard gratuity for the driver but does not cover additional expenses such as parking passes at venues, tolls, or hotel accommodations for the driver on overnight trips—these must be arranged separately by the customer.
Because availability and pricing can fluctuate based on seasonality and location, we strongly recommend contacting us as early as possible to get an accurate estimate and lock in your reservation.
How Does a 30 Passenger Minibus Compare to Our Other Bus Types?
A 30 passenger minibus bridges the gap between smaller shuttles (such as 18-28 seat models) and full-size motorcoaches (which can hold 40- 56 passengers). Compared to larger coaches, it offers similar amenities but in a more compact package that is easier to maneuver and park—ideal for urban environments or venues with limited access. It provides significantly more capacity and comfort than smaller minibuses while still being more affordable and flexible than renting a full-size bus.
This size is perfect for groups that are too large for a 15-passenger van but don’t require the scale of a 50+ seat coach, making it one of the most versatile options in our fleet.
How Far in Advance Should I Book a 30 Passenger Minibus?
We recommend booking your 30 passenger minibus at least 3-6 months in advance, especially if your trip falls during peak seasons such as spring graduations, summer wedding months, or fall sports schedules. Availability can become limited quickly due to high demand for mid-size vehicles, and popular dates will sell out first. Major events in the region—like MSU graduation, county fairs, or large-scale tournaments—can further impact how many buses are available.
Reserving early ensures you get exactly the vehicle you want at the best possible rate. Last-minute bookings are sometimes possible but may be subject to higher prices and fewer choices.
How Much Luggage Can a 30 Passenger Minibus Hold?
Luggage capacity on a 30 passenger minibus varies by model, but typically each passenger can bring one large suitcase (“checked” bag) and one smaller carry-on. Storage is provided either in an oversized rear compartment or in underfloor bays accessible from outside the bus. Overhead racks inside the cabin are suitable for backpacks, purses, or briefcases. If your group is traveling with unusually large items (such as band equipment, athletic gear, or multiple cases per person), please inform us in advance so we can assign a vehicle with adequate space or arrange for additional storage solutions.
For most standard trips, the available luggage room will be sufficient to accommodate everyone’s belongings comfortably.
