35 Passenger Minibuses Available in the Following Cities
Charter Bus Company Mankato operates 35-passenger minibuses in every major city across the Upper Midwest, including Bloomington, Minneapolis, Saint Paul, Rochester, Sioux Falls, Des Moines, Omaha, Cedar Rapids, Madison, and Lincoln. No matter where your trip starts or ends, we can dispatch a vehicle to any location within our service area—even if it’s outside city limits or across state lines.
This regional coverage makes it easy to coordinate multi-day tours, interstate shuttles, or one-way transfers between different states without having to switch vehicles. If you’re planning a long-distance trip that crosses multiple jurisdictions, let us know in advance so we can arrange the necessary permits and scheduling.
Trips and Events in Mankato a 35 Passenger Minibus Is Great For
This is a versatile option that works for almost any type of group travel or event. In Mankato, these mid-size shuttles are frequently used for university athletics (MSU Mavericks away games), campus organization outings, and student orientation week transportation. Corporate clients book them for employee commuter routes between downtown offices and business parks off Highway 14 or Civic Center Plaza, while local companies use them for training seminars, site visits, and holiday parties.
They’re also ideal for wedding guest shuttles to venues like the Mayo Clinic Health System Event Center, civic center conferences, and large church gatherings. During the summer, you’ll see these buses running back-and-forth to county fairs, concert series at Riverfront Park, and brewery tours along the Minnesota River Valley. With room for up to 35 riders plus luggage, it’s an efficient way to move medium-sized groups without splitting into multiple smaller vehicles.

Frequently Asked Questions About our 35 Passenger Minibuses
What Colors Are Your 35 Passenger Minibuses Available In?
Choose from a wide range of exterior color options including black, white, silver, grey, blue, red, navy, and yellow. We also offer custom wraps for corporate branding, team logos, or special event graphics if you want to make a strong visual statement. The most popular choices for weddings and formal events are classic black or white, while schools and sports teams often request brighter colors or custom designs.
If you have a specific color requirement for your trip, please mention it when booking so we can match the best available unit to your preference. Custom wraps require additional lead time and may incur extra charges depending on the complexity of the design.
What Amenities Come Standard on Your 35 Passenger Buses?
Standard features include cloth or vinyl upholstered seats with headrests, strong HVAC system, LED lighting, and full-length overhead parcel racks for small bags. The audio-visual setup includes a PA microphone, AM/FM stereo, and at least one video monitor (with options for more). Some models have USB charging ports at each row and a rear luggage compartment or underfloor storage bay.
Additional amenities can be added upon request, such as WiFi hotspot, 110V power outlets, upgraded sound system, tinted windows, and custom seat fabric. Exact features may vary by manufacturer and year, so please specify any must-have options when requesting a quote.
How Much Does a 35 Passenger Minibus Rental Cost, and What Factors Change the Price?
The base rate for renting a 35 passenger minibus ranges from $150–$450+ per hour, $1,610–$3,465 per day, or $4.00–$9.95 per mile, depending on the total distance, duration, and exact routing of your trip. Final pricing is influenced by several variables: whether the itinerary is local to Mankato or requires deadhead miles from another city, the length of the charter (single-day vs. multi-day), and the seasonality of demand (peak times may cost more).
Additional charges may apply for tolls, parking, and lodging if the driver needs to stay overnight. The quote will always include gratuity but excludes third-party expenses. For the most accurate estimate, contact us with your full schedule and destination list.
How Does a 35 Passenger Minibus Compare to Our Other Bus Types?
This model fills the gap between smaller executive coaches (20–28 seats) and full-size charter buses (47–56 seats), offering a balance of capacity and maneuverability that’s ideal for mid-sized groups. Compared to a 25-passenger minibus, it provides significantly more seating and luggage space without a huge jump in cost, making it a better value for larger parties.
While it doesn’t have onboard restrooms like the largest motorcoaches, it’s easier to navigate through tight streets, drop-off zones, and smaller parking lots. If you need something bigger, consider stepping up to a 40-passenger minibus or a full-size coach; if you need something smaller or more luxurious, ask about our sprinter vans and executive shuttles.
How Far in Advance Should I Book a 35 Passenger Minibus?
We recommend booking your 35 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 major sporting events involving MSU Mavericks or local high schools. Availability can be limited during these periods due to high demand from multiple large-scale events occurring simultaneously in Mankato and surrounding areas.
Last-minute bookings are possible but may result in fewer choices or higher rates, as the best vehicles tend to get reserved early. If your event requires multiple buses or custom branding, additional lead time will ensure we can meet all your specifications without compromise.
How Much Luggage Can a 35 Passenger Minibus Hold?
Luggage capacity varies depending on the exact model, but most 35 passenger minibuses can accommodate one large suitcase per person in either a rear cargo area or underfloor storage bays, plus additional smaller bags in the overhead racks inside the cabin. If your group is traveling light, this should be more than sufficient for an overnight or weekend trip.
For longer journeys requiring extra baggage—such as sports equipment, musical instruments, or trade show displays—please inform us in advance so we can assign a unit with maximum storage volume or make alternate arrangements. Efficient packing will help maximize space and comfort for all riders.
