30 Passenger Minibus

We offer 30-passenger minibuses in a full range of exterior colors to match any event style or branding requirement. Standard color options include black, white, silver, grey, navy blue, and champagne. Select models are also available in custom colors such as red, cobalt blue, or even yellow for school-related charters. If you need something truly unique, we can arrange a custom wrap with your company logo, wedding monogram, or sponsor graphics.

Black and white coaches are ideal for formal occasions like weddings and corporate events, while lighter tones such as silver and champagne provide a modern, upscale look suitable for any application. Full custom wraps are available for an additional fee and can turn the vehicle into a moving billboard for long-term projects or branded tours.

Standard amenities on a 30-passenger minibus include high-back leather or fabric seats (forward-facing or perimeter), dual flat-screen monitors (typically 21”-32”) with HDMI/DVD input, Bluetooth/PA sound system, USB and 110V power outlets at each row, fast Wi-Fi, and full LED interior lighting. Overhead luggage racks run the length of the cabin, with additional rear storage for larger bags. The coach is fully climate-controlled with individual A/C vents, and features wood-look vinyl flooring, window shades, and a central aisle for easy boarding. Additional features include a fold-down TV, wireless microphone, and custom lighting options.

The cost to rent a 30-passenger minibus in Mooresville typically ranges from $1,200 to $3,500+ per day, $150 to $450+ per hour, or $4.00 to $9.95 per mile, depending on the length of your trip, time of year, and exact vehicle selected. You’ll pay toward the higher end of that range if you’re traveling during peak seasons (spring/fall wedding months, major sporting events), booking with less than a few weeks’ notice, or requiring the bus to deadhead from another city. Multi-day itineraries will be quoted either by the total number of days or the aggregate mileage—whichever is greater—while local transfers within Mooresville, Charlotte, or Lake Norman region may qualify for minimum-hour pricing.

Every quote includes full driver gratuity, standard mileage, and all amenities onboard. Not included are any parking fees at venues (which you’ll pay directly), tolls incurred during the trip, or hotel accommodation for the driver on overnight runs (typically one room per night). You will need to cover the cost of the driver’s lodging and a per diem for meals if the trip requires an overnight stay.

The 30-passenger minibus is one of the most versatile vehicles in our fleet, bridging the gap between smaller sprinter-style vans and full-size motorcoaches. Compared to a 15-passenger van or 20-passenger minibus, the 30-seater offers significantly more interior space, headroom, and luggage capacity, making it better suited for longer trips or groups with substantial baggage. It features dual rear wheels, a wider cabin, and amenities like multiple video monitors, PA system, and full-length overhead storage that smaller buses may lack.

Against a 40- 55 passenger charter bus, the 30-passenger minibus is more maneuverable, less expensive to operate, and easier to navigate through downtown areas or tight venues—while still providing a full suite of comfort features. It does not typically include a restroom, which is standard on larger coaches, but it also doesn’t require the same infrastructure for loading or turning radius. This size is ideal for mid-sized groups who want “big bus” amenities without the footprint or cost of a full charter bus. It remains a top choice for short-to-mid-range charters, airport transfers, and events where flexibility and value are key.

You should book your 30-passenger minibus as soon as you have confirmed dates and headcount—ideally 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 regional events. Spring and fall are the busiest times of year due to overlapping demand from wedding parties, school field trips, college graduations, and sports team travel; buses sell out quickly around events like Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools spring break, UNC Charlotte commencement, or simultaneous Lake Norman wedding weekends. Last-minute bookings (less than four weeks out) may face limited availability or higher rates, as the most popular vehicles get reserved first. If your schedule coincides with something large—such as a concert at PNC Music Pavilion, a Panthers home game, or multiple church retreats—you’ll be competing with other groups for the same inventory.

In summary: three to six months’ lead time is ideal; more if your event is during a busy period; less is possible but comes with trade-offs. We can sometimes accommodate requests with a week or less notice, but you’ll have the fewest choices and may pay a premium.

A 30-passenger minibus is designed to handle the luggage needs of a full cabin without sacrificing aisle space or comfort. Most floor plans include either a rear luggage compartment, overhead parcel racks, or both. The rear luggage area typically offers 80–100 cubic feet of storage—enough for 25–30 full-size suitcases if loaded carefully. Overhead racks run the length of the cabin on both sides and can accommodate carry-on bags, backpacks, or garment bags.

If your group is traveling light (e.g., briefcases and small duffels), everything will fit easily. For airport transfers or overnight trips with one large suitcase per person, all bags can be stowed in the rear compartment and overhead racks without encroaching on seating space. Groups with unusually large cargo (musical instruments, sports equipment) should advise us in advance so we can select a floor plan with maximum storage or make other arrangements. Compared to larger charter buses, storage is more limited but still sufficient for typical use. For baggage-intensive trips, we recommend no more than one large and one small bag per passenger.
