Minibus Rentals Concord, California

Minibuses typically have between 15 and 35 seats, depending on the exact model and configuration. Smaller minibuses start at around 15 passenger seats, while larger models can accommodate up to 35 passengers. Common sizes include 15, 20, 24, 28, 30, and 35-seat configurations. These seating capacities make minibuses ideal for medium-sized groups such as corporate teams, wedding parties, school field trips, or shuttle services that don’t require a full-size charter bus.

Amenity packages vary by bus size and model, but you can expect comfortable, reclining seats upholstered in leatherette or fabric, individual reading lights, powerful A/C and heating, onboard Wi-Fi, multiple USB ports and 110V power outlets, a PA system with wireless microphone, flat-screen monitors with DVD/Blu-ray playback, Bluetooth connectivity, and either overhead parcel racks or dedicated rear luggage space. Some minibuses also feature wood-look vinyl flooring, color-changing LED accent lighting, and tinted windows for privacy.

Yes, most modern minibuses are equipped with electrical outlets and/or USB ports so passengers can charge phones, tablets, laptops, and other devices during the trip. The exact number and location of outlets will depend on the specific bus model, but typically there are shared 110V outlets and/or USB ports either at each row of seats, built into the armrests, or mounted along the sidewalls. If having access to power is important for your group, be sure to request a minibus with outlets when you book.

Most standard minibuses do not have bathrooms onboard due to their smaller size compared to full-size charter buses. However, some larger minibus models (typically those closer to 35-passenger capacity) may offer an onboard restroom as an optional feature. If having a bathroom is essential for your trip, be sure to specify this requirement when booking so we can provide a vehicle that meets your needs. For shorter trips around Concord, the lack of a restroom is usually not an issue, but for longer journeys, we recommend scheduling regular comfort stops.

Yes, minibuses have designated luggage space either in overhead compartments inside the cabin or in a separate rear storage area, depending on the model. Smaller minibuses typically use overhead bins similar to those on airplanes for carry-on bags and personal items, while larger minibuses may have a rear luggage compartment accessible from outside the vehicle for storing suitcases and larger items. If your group has significant luggage, be sure to mention this when booking so we can match you with a minibus that has adequate storage capacity.

The cost to rent a minibus in Concord varies depending on factors like the size of the bus, length of the trip, time of year, and any additional amenities requested. On average, you can expect to pay between $900 and $1,500 per day for a standard minibus rental. For shorter trips, some companies may offer hourly rates ranging from $125 to $250 per hour with a 4- or 5-hour minimum. Longer trips that require overnight stays will incur additional charges.

We recommend booking your minibus rental at least 6 to 9 months in advance, especially if your trip falls during a busy season or coincides with major events in Concord. Spring and summer are peak times due to weddings, graduations, and festival season, so buses tend to get reserved quickly. Large-scale events at venues like Toyota Pavilion at Concord, local marathons, or holiday weekends can also impact availability. Last-minute bookings are possible if we have open vehicles, but securing your reservation early ensures you get the best selection and pricing.

Booking a minibus with Concord Party Bus Company is easy and can be done entirely online or over the phone. Start by gathering your trip details: pickup date and time, pickup location, destination(s), number of passengers, and any special requests or amenities needed. Then, either fill out our online quote form or call our 24/7 reservation line to speak with a representative. We’ll provide you with a free, no-obligation quote based on your information. Once you’re ready to book, you’ll sign the contract electronically and pay a deposit to secure the reservation. The remaining balance is due before the date of service.

No, your quote covers the base rental cost, fuel, and driver compensation, but does not include additional expenses such as tolls, parking fees, or special permits required during your trip. These extra costs are the responsibility of the customer and will either be billed separately or need to be paid directly at the time of service. For example, if your itinerary includes crossing a toll bridge or parking at a venue that charges for bus parking (such as the Concord Pavilion or Six Flags Discovery Kingdom), those fees are not included in the initial quote. It’s important to discuss your full itinerary with your reservation agent so they can advise you on any potential additional costs.

Concord is served by several public transit options including BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) with stations at Concord and North Concord/Martinez, County Connection buses providing local and regional service, and Amtrak Capitol Corridor trains accessible from nearby Martinez. While these options are great for individual commuters, they aren’t ideal for groups traveling together, especially if you have a tight schedule or multiple destinations. A private minibus keeps your entire party on the same vehicle, eliminates the need to coordinate transfers or wait for late-night service, and provides door-to-door transportation anywhere you need to go—including locations not easily reached by public transit. It’s the most convenient and efficient way to move a group around Concord and beyond.
