More About 28 Passenger Minibuses
The 28-passenger minibus is the sweet spot for groups that have outgrown a Sprinter van but don't need a full 56-passenger motorcoach taking up half a parking lot. In Lakeland, that distinction matters! These buses are compact enough for trips to Lakeland Linder International Airport, Publix Field at Joker Marchant Stadium on Lakeland Hills Boulevard during Detroit Tigers Spring Training, and hotel pickups along South Florida Avenue without the oversized-vehicle headaches that can come with a full-size coach.
You'll find popular models like the Glaval Universal, Starcraft Starlite, and Turtle Top Terra Transit through the network — many commonly offer a center aisle and, depending on the model, stand-up ceiling height, with enough room that nobody is climbing over a neighbor to reach their seat.

Common 28 Passenger Minibus Amenities to Compare
The 28-passenger minibuses available through the network can come with features your group actually wants on a Lakeland trip! Many models include air conditioning and climate control — critical when August humidity settles over Polk County. Seats are commonly high-back reclining in leather or cloth depending on the model, with extra legroom so nobody arrives stiff after the run down I-4.
Overhead compartments can handle carry-ons and day bags, and a rear luggage area may fit roller bags and duffels for groups with more gear. Available features can also include power outlets and USB charging ports, flat-screen monitors with DVD or HDMI input, a PA system with wireless mic, and Bluetooth/AUX stereo so your playlist runs the whole way. WiFi is available on many models, onboard restrooms on select builds, and ADA-accessible vehicles with wheelchair lifts are available on request — just mention it when you fill out your quote!

How much is a 28 Passenger Minibus rental?
28-passenger minibus rentals in Lakeland cost $190–$355+ per hour, $1,540–$2,255+ per day, and $5.65–$8.25+ per mile depending on the provider, the date, and the specific vehicle. A Saturday shuttle looping between a South Florida Avenue hotel and RP Funding Center for a weekend concert will price differently than a Tuesday airport transfer down I-4 to Tampa. A handful of Lakeland dates tighten the whole Central Florida market fast — Detroit Tigers Spring Training at Publix Field at Joker Marchant Stadium brings baseball groups to Lakeland during the spring season, and the SUN 'n FUN Aerospace Expo at Lakeland Linder International Airport draws more than 210,000 aviation enthusiasts and runs April 6–11, 2027.
