Lincoln Minibus Rentals

The inside of a minibus looks like a smaller version of a full-size charter bus, with forward-facing seats arranged in rows on either side of a central aisle. Seats are upholstered in durable fabric or vinyl and may have headrests, armrests, and reclining backs. There are overhead compartments for small bags, reading lights, and air vents above each seat. The floor is covered with carpet or vinyl, and windows are large enough to provide good visibility. Some minibuses have video screens mounted at the front or above the aisle, and there may be a luggage area at the rear or storage space under the seats.

A mini bus typically has between 15 and 35 seats, depending on the model and configuration. Smaller minibuses may have as few as 15 or 16 seats, while larger ones can accommodate up to 35 passengers. Common sizes include 18, 20, 24, 28, and 30 seats. The exact number of seats will depend on the amount of legroom, the presence of features like rear luggage compartments or wheelchair lifts, and whether any seats have been removed to make space for other equipment.

Standard amenities on a Lincoln mini bus rental include air conditioning, reclining seats, overhead storage racks, reading lights, and a PA system. Many minibuses also come equipped with Wi-Fi, power outlets or USB ports at each seat, flat-screen monitors for video playback, and DVD players. Larger models may have a rear luggage compartment or underfloor storage bays. Other available features include tinted windows, tray tables, cup holders, and onboard restrooms. Specific amenities vary by vehicle, so let your reservation specialist know what you need when booking.

Yes, most modern minibuses are equipped with either 110V power outlets or USB charging ports at each seat row, allowing passengers to charge phones, tablets, laptops, and other electronic devices during the trip. Older models may not have individual outlets but often include a few shared outlets near the front or rear of the cabin. If having access to power is important for your group, be sure to request a mini bus with built-in outlets when making your reservation. We can accommodate special requests for vehicles with upgraded electrical systems if needed.

Most minibuses do not have onboard bathrooms due to space constraints. However, some larger mini bus models (typically those with 30+ seats) may be equipped with a small restroom at the rear of the vehicle. If your group requires a bathroom on the bus, please let us know when you book your trip so we can provide a minibus with this feature or suggest an alternative solution. For shorter trips around Lincoln, regular stops at rest areas or gas stations can be scheduled to accommodate passengers’ needs.

Minibuses offer several options for storing luggage. Most models feature overhead compartments similar to those found on airplanes, which are suitable for backpacks, purses, and small carry-on items. Larger bags and suitcases can be stored in a rear luggage area or in underfloor storage bays, depending on the design of the minibus. If your group will be traveling with a significant amount of luggage, such as for an airport transfer or overnight trip, please inform us in advance so we can assign a vehicle with adequate storage capacity.

The cost of renting a minibus in Lincoln depends on several factors, including the size of the vehicle, the length of the trip, the number of days it will be used, and any additional amenities requested. Prices typically range from $1,200 to $3,000 per day, with hourly rates available for shorter trips. Additional charges may apply for mileage, tolls, parking, and driver accommodations on overnight trips. Contact our office with the details of your trip to receive a customized quote. We offer competitive pricing and flexible payment options to fit your budget.

It’s best to book your Lincoln mini bus as far in advance as possible to ensure availability, especially if your trip falls during a busy time of year such as graduation season, home football games, or major conventions. We recommend reserving your vehicle at least six to nine months before your departure date. Last-minute bookings can sometimes be accommodated, but selection may be limited. Once you have finalized your travel dates and itinerary, contact us right away to secure your reservation. A deposit is required to hold the vehicle, with the balance due prior to departure.

No, your quote includes the cost of the minibus, driver, fuel, and standard amenities, but it does not include tolls or parking fees. These additional costs will need to be paid separately during your trip. For example, if your minibus needs to park at Pinnacle Bank Arena or Memorial Stadium, you will be responsible for paying the parking fee. Most stadiums in Lincoln charge between $20–$50 for bus parking, depending on the event. Tolls are not common in Nebraska, but if your trip route includes any toll roads, you will be responsible for those fees as well.

Lincoln’s public transit system, StarTran, operates fixed-route buses and paratransit services within city limits. While affordable, StarTran is designed for individual commuters rather than large groups, with limited routes and schedules that may not align with your event. Private minibuses offer door-to-door service anywhere in Lincoln, including locations not served by public transit. You’ll get a dedicated vehicle, flexible scheduling, and amenities like Wi-Fi and reclining seats. For groups of 15–35 people, a mini bus rental is more convenient, comfortable, and efficient than relying on public transportation.
