More About 28 Passenger Minibuses
The 28-passenger minibus hits a sweet spot that a full-size 56-passenger motorcoach simply can't. In Bellingham, that matters more than people expect. Cornwall Avenue downtown and the streets around Fairhaven Village can get tight.
The drop-off approach to Western Washington University near South College Drive can run narrow. The downtown approach to the Whatcom Museum on Prospect Street is no place for a 45-foot coach. A 28-passenger minibus is easier to position through these areas than a full-size coach — compact enough to handle the city's hillside streets and waterfront curves, roomy enough that nobody's sitting sideways.
Popular models in the network include the Glaval Universal, the Starcraft Starlite, and the Turtle Top Terra Transit. They commonly offer a center aisle, comfortable seating, and enough interior space that the ride from Sehome Hill to Fairhaven actually feels comfortable.

Amenities Commonly Found on 28 Passenger Minibus Rentals
The 28-passenger minibuses available through the network may come with features your group actually wants on a Bellingham trip. Many models include air conditioning and climate control — essential when a June morning on Bellingham Bay turns into a warm afternoon climb up to Chuckanut Drive, and some builds offer a secondary rear AC system so the back row stays as comfortable as the front. Seats commonly feature high-back reclining designs in leather or cloth, with extra legroom so nobody steps off stiff after a long run down SR-20 toward Anacortes.
Overhead compartments may handle carry-ons and day bags, and a rear luggage area can fit roller bags and duffels for groups with more gear. 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, and Bluetooth/AUX stereo so your playlist runs the whole way. WiFi is available on many models — great for the team staying productive on the ride from Bellingham to Seattle.
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 does a 28 Passenger Minibus cost?
28-passenger minibus rentals in Bellingham 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 evening shuttle looping between downtown Bellingham hotels and a wedding venue out on Chuckanut Drive will price differently than a Tuesday morning airport transfer to Bellingham International Airport on Airport Drive. A handful of Bellingham dates can tighten availability across the entire Whatcom County market — the 2027 Ski to Sea Race, scheduled for May 30, 2027, draws teams and spectators to Bellingham, and Western Washington University’s official Fall 2026 move-in dates run September 17–19, which can tighten availability around campus.
