More About 20 Passenger Minibuses
The 20-passenger minibus is a sweet spot for groups that have outgrown a Sprinter van but don't need a full-size 56-passenger motorcoach. In Santa Monica, that distinction matters more than most cities. These buses are compact enough to navigate the tight turns off Lincoln Boulevard, pull cleanly into the loading zone at Santa Monica Place, and handle the narrow approach roads in the Pacific Palisades without the oversized-vehicle headaches that come with a full coach.
You'll have your pick of models like the Starcraft Starlite and Turtle Top Terra Transit — all with a center aisle, enough roof height to walk to your seat standing up, and a climate-controlled cabin. Why limit yourself to one fleet? Compare 20-passenger minibuses from a network of providers serving Santa Monica and the surrounding area — all in one place, with instant online pricing and vehicle photos, no account needed!

Common 20 Passenger Minibus Amenities to Compare
The 20-passenger minibuses available through the network come loaded with TONS of great features your group actually wants on a Santa Monica trip! Every model includes air conditioning and climate control — critical when June Gloom breaks and the temperature swings between the coast and the canyon. Seats are high-back reclining in leather or cloth depending on the model, with extra legroom so nobody arrives stiff after a long crawl up the 10 Freeway.
Overhead compartments handle carry-ons and day bags (one bag 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 for tour guides or group leaders, and Bluetooth/AUX stereo so you can run your own playlist the whole way. WiFi is available on many models — great for the team that wants to stay productive on the ride from Santa Monica to a South Bay campus.
Onboard restrooms are available on select models, and ADA-accessible vehicles with rear or side wheelchair lifts are available on request. Just mention it when you fill out your quote!

How much is a 20 Passenger Minibus rental?
20-passenger minibus rentals in Santa Monica cost $190–$340+ per hour, $1,300–$2,080+ per day, and $5.15–$7.50+ per mile depending on the provider, the date, and the specific vehicle. A Saturday evening bachelorette crawl looping between the Third Street Promenade and West Hollywood will price differently than a Tuesday morning airport transfer to LAX — and a handful of dates on the Santa Monica calendar have limited availability across the whole Westside, which means higher prices. Tongva Twilight: Sounds & Cinema nights and the LA Marathon, which closes major stretches of Santa Monica Boulevard each March, are the first to sell out across the network.
