More About 35 Passenger Minibuses
Start your search knowing exactly what you're getting with a 35-passenger minibus — and why it's such a great fit for so many Santa Barbara trips. This is the sweet spot between a compact sprinter van and a full-size 56-passenger motorcoach. It's large enough to keep your whole group together on one vehicle, and nimble enough to navigate the curves of East Valley Road heading into Montecito, the tight turns around the Santa Barbara Waterfront, or the winding routes through wine country in the Santa Ynez Valley.
Popular models in the network include the Turtle Top Terra Transit, the Starcraft Starlite, and similar mid-size builds — all with a center aisle, full standing headroom, and enough room that nobody is climbing over anyone to reach their seat. Why limit yourself to one fleet? Compare 35-passenger minibuses from a network of independently owned transportation companies serving Santa Barbara and the entire Central Coast, all in one place!

Common 35 Passenger Minibus Amenities to Compare
With one form, you get access to 35-passenger minibuses loaded with the amenities your group actually wants on a Santa Barbara trip. Every model comes with air conditioning and climate control — essential when August heat builds inland toward the Santa Ynez Valley and the temperature swings between the coast and wine country. Seats are high-back reclining in leather or cloth depending on the model, with extra legroom so nobody arrives stiff after a longer run down US-101 toward Ventura or up the 154 toward Los Olivos.
Overhead compartments handle carry-ons and smaller personal items, with a rear luggage area for roller bags and duffels when your group is traveling 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 a wireless microphone for tour guides and group leaders, and Bluetooth and AUX stereo so you can run your own playlist the whole way. WiFi is available on many models — great for the corporate group that wants to stay connected on the ride in from LAX.
Onboard restrooms are available on select models, and ADA-accessible vehicles with wheelchair lifts are available on request — just mention it when you fill out your quote!

How much is a 35 Passenger Minibus rental?
For a 35-passenger minibus rental in Santa Barbara, you're looking at $225–$370+ per hour, $1,815–$2,415+ per day, and $6.20–$8.95+ per mile depending on the provider, the date, and the specific vehicle. A Saturday wine tour through the Santa Ynez Valley with multiple stops in Los Olivos and Solvang will price differently than a Tuesday morning airport transfer from Santa Barbara Airport to a Goleta tech campus — and a handful of dates on the Santa Barbara calendar push demand across the entire Central Coast all at once. The Santa Barbara Wine Festival each June, Old Spanish Days Fiesta in early August, and the Santa Barbara International Film Festival in February are some of the busiest stretches of the year, which means higher rates and tighter availability.
