35 Passenger Minibus

Our 35-passenger minibuses come in a range of exterior colors including black, white, silver, grey, blue, red, navy, and yellow. We also offer custom wraps if you want to add branding or graphics for your organization. The most common choices are black and white because they work well for any type of event—from weddings and corporate functions to school trips and casual outings. Interior finishes typically match the exterior quality, with options for either light or dark upholstery depending on the specific bus.

Standard amenities on a 35-passenger minibus include reclining forward-facing seats with cloth or vinyl upholstery, individual reading lights, and either overhead parcel racks or full-length luggage shelves for carry-on storage. Entertainment features typically include a flat-screen TV at the front of the cabin with DVD and HDMI input, a PA system for announcements, and Bluetooth-capable sound system with speakers distributed throughout the cabin. Climate control is handled by a roof-mounted HVAC unit with adjustable vents above each row.

There are USB charging ports and 110V power outlets available for passengers to charge devices during the ride. Wi-Fi is available upon request if you need internet access on the road. The cabin floor is finished with durable vinyl or laminate for easy cleaning. Additional features include tinted windows for privacy, cup holders, and grab handles at each seat. The rear of the bus has a dedicated luggage area separated by a partition wall, providing space for larger bags and equipment.

The cost to rent a 35-passenger minibus in Monterey Park typically ranges from $1,200 to $3,500+ per day, $150–$450+ per hour, or $4.00–$9.95 per mile, depending on the exact size, manufacturer, amenity package, and duration of your trip. You’ll pay toward the higher end of that range for brand-new models with full entertainment systems, leather seats, or extra luggage space, and toward the lower end for older coaches with standard cloth interiors and basic AV setups.

Rates depend on several factors including time of year, length of trip, number of days/hours, and exact pickup location. Summer months, holidays, and peak travel seasons generally have higher pricing due to increased demand. Additional expenses such as driver hotel rooms (for overnight trips), tolls, and parking fees are not included in the base rate.

The 35-passenger minibus occupies a versatile middle ground in our Monterey Park fleet, offering significantly more capacity and amenities than smaller 18-25 passenger models while remaining easier to maneuver and more cost-effective than full-size 47-56 passenger motorcoaches. Compared to 18- 25 passenger minibuses, the 35-seater provides dual doors for faster boarding, full-length overhead parcel racks, larger rear or underfloor luggage compartments (typically 40-100 cubic feet), and upgraded entertainment options such as multiple flat-screen monitors, HDMI/DVI inputs, and optional Wi-Fi routers. Seating pitch is increased for greater legroom, and the HVAC system is roof-mounted with higher output.

While a 47-56 passenger coach offers roughly double the luggage space, full galley kitchens, and restrooms as standard, the 35-passenger minibus can still handle overnight bags for a full load and is better suited to local streets, tight parking, and short-turnaround charters. It’s ideal for midsize corporate groups, wedding shuttles, or athletic teams who want a separate luggage bay and full AV suite without stepping up to a 45-foot, 54,000-pound motorcoach. In summary, the 35-passenger minibus delivers many “big bus” features—overhead storage, PA/DVD/HDMI, substantial cargo—in a more nimble, budget-friendly package.

You should book your 35-passenger minibus rental at least three to six months in advance to guarantee the best selection and pricing—especially if your trip falls during peak season or overlaps with major events in the Los Angeles area. Spring and summer are the busiest times of year because of wedding schedules, school graduations, and corporate event calendars, while fall weekends fill up quickly with college football charters and regional festivals. In Monterey Park specifically, availability can tighten around local events like the Lunar New Year Festival, summer concerts in Barnes Park, or overlapping school district holidays when multiple groups are vying for the same inventory.

If you’re traveling out of town—to destinations like Disneyland, Staples Center, or even out-of-state casinos in Nevada—it’s even more important to reserve early since larger itineraries require additional planning for driver accommodations and routing. Last-minute bookings (less than four weeks out) may face limited vehicle choices or higher rates due to increased demand. The earlier you confirm your reservation, the more options you’ll have for bus color, floor plan, and custom amenities such as Wi-Fi or upgraded seating.

A 35-passenger minibus typically has enough luggage capacity to accommodate one standard suitcase (22” x 14” x 9”) and one small carry-on bag (backpack or tote) per passenger. Most models are equipped with either a rear luggage compartment or dual side-entry cargo bays, providing between 100 and 150 cubic feet of storage space. This is sufficient for overnight trips, airport transfers, or events where each rider brings a single piece of checked baggage. Larger items like sports equipment, musical instruments, or display materials for trade shows can also be accommodated, but will reduce the total number of suitcases that can be stored. For groups with extra luggage, storing additional bags in the aisle or on empty seats is possible, though it may limit movement inside the cabin.
