28 Passenger Minibus Rental
Twenty-eight people don't fit in a rideshare. They don't fit in three separate cars either — not without someone getting left behind at the wrong Beltline exit or circling the PNC Arena garage for twenty minutes while the rest of the group is already inside. The 28-passenger minibus is the fix.
It's compact enough to navigate downtown Raleigh's one-way grid and pull up cleanly at Fayetteville Street loading zones, but it holds your entire group in one vehicle from pickup to drop-off.

More About 28 Passenger Minibuses
The 28-passenger minibus is the sweet spot between a cramped sprinter and a full-size motorcoach that's overkill for your group. In Raleigh, that size advantage is real. These buses handle the tight right onto Hillsborough Street near NC State's main gate, navigate the Research Triangle Park campus road network without needing an oversized-vehicle permit, and pull into the Glenwood South corridor without blocking traffic.
Popular models include the Glaval Universal, Starcraft Starlite, and Turtle Top Terra Transit — all center-aisle, stand-up-height cabins so nobody's climbing over anyone to reach their seat. Why limit yourself to one fleet? Compare 28-passenger minibuses from a network of providers serving Raleigh and the surrounding Triangle area — vehicles, photos, and Raleigh charter bus prices all in one place, no account required!

Common Amenities Available on 28 Passenger Minibus Rentals
The 28-passenger minibuses available through the network come loaded with amenities your group actually wants on a Raleigh trip! Every model runs air conditioning and climate control — critical when August humidity hits triple digits on Fayetteville Street. Seats are high-back reclining in leather or cloth, with extra legroom so nobody arrives stiff after the run up I-40 from the airport.
Overhead compartments handle one carry-on per person, and a rear luggage area fits roller bags and duffels. You'll also find power outlets and USB charging ports, flat-screen monitors with DVD or HDMI input, a PA system with wireless mic, and Bluetooth/AUX stereo so your playlist runs the whole way. WiFi is available on many models — great for the team that needs to stay connected on the ride from RDU to downtown.
Onboard restrooms are available on select models, and ADA-accessible vehicles with wheelchair lifts are available on request — just mention it when you fill out your quote!

How much does a 28 Passenger Minibus cost to rent?
28-passenger minibus rentals in Raleigh 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 hotel on Glenwood South and a venue in the North Hills area prices differently than a Tuesday airport transfer to RDU. And a handful of Raleigh dates — NC State home Saturdays at Carter-Finley Stadium, graduation weekend across NC State and UNC-Chapel Hill in May, and the International Bluegrass Music Association World of Bluegrass taking over Chattanooga each October — have limited availability across the whole Triangle, which means higher prices and fewer vehicles to choose from.
Book three to six months out for any of those dates. The fastest way to see numbers for your specific trip? No need to fear, 30-second online pricing is here!
