Corona Minibus Rentals

A minibus interior looks like a compact version of a full-size charter bus—rows of forward-facing seats, a center aisle, and either fabric or vinyl upholstery on the seats. Most minibuses have high-back seats with headrests, armrests, and seat belts. There are overhead storage racks above each row, LED lighting along the ceiling, and large side windows that may be tinted. The front has a wide entry door with steps, and the rear may have either more seating or a luggage area, depending on the model.

A typical minibus seats anywhere from 15 to 35 passengers, depending on the exact model and configuration. Smaller models like the Ford E-450 or Chevrolet Express cutaway usually have 15 to 25 seats, while larger models built on Freightliner or International chassis can have up to 35 seats. Some operators offer custom floor plans with fewer seats and more luggage space if needed.

Standard amenities on a modern minibus include air conditioning, reclining seats, reading lights, and either vinyl or fabric upholstery. Many newer models also come with Wi-Fi, USB ports at each seat, 110V power outlets, and video monitors at the front and middle of the cabin. There’s usually a PA system or wireless microphone for announcements, and some buses have Bluetooth or AUX inputs for playing music through the speakers. Overhead parcel racks provide space for small bags, and larger luggage can be stored in a rear compartment or exterior storage bay.

Yes, most late-model minibuses have 110V electrical outlets and/or USB charging ports either at each row of seats or distributed throughout the cabin. This allows passengers to charge phones, laptops, tablets, and other devices during the trip. Older buses may not have outlets, but we can provide a vehicle with power options if you request it when booking. Just let your reservation specialist know what you need.

Most minibuses do not have bathrooms onboard due to their smaller size. However, some larger models (30+ passengers) can be built with a rear-mounted restroom if requested. If a restroom is essential for your trip, please let us know when you book so we can provide a suitable vehicle. Otherwise, plan to make occasional stops at rest areas or gas stations for longer journeys.

Yes, minibuses have several options for storing luggage. Smaller bags and backpacks can be placed in the overhead parcel racks above the seats. Larger suitcases and equipment can be stored in a rear luggage compartment if the bus has one, or in an exterior storage bay accessible from outside the vehicle. If you’re traveling with a lot of gear, please inform us ahead of time so we can assign a bus with adequate storage capacity.

The cost of renting a minibus in Corona varies depending on the size of the bus, length of the trip, and time of year. On average, you can expect to pay between $1,200 and $3,500 per day. Shorter trips may be billed by the hour (typically $150-$350 per hour) or by the mile ($4-$8 per mile). For example, a local shuttle within Corona might cost $1,500 for a half-day, while a multi-day trip to Las Vegas could run $4,000 or more. Contact us for an exact quote based on your itinerary.

We recommend booking your minibus at least 6 to 9 months in advance, especially if your trip is during a busy season such as summer, spring break, or around major holidays. This lead time helps ensure you get the exact vehicle and amenities you want. Last-minute bookings are possible if we have availability, but your options may be limited. Large events and peak travel times often sell out quickly, so the sooner you reserve, the better.

Booking a minibus with Corona Party Bus Company is easy and fast. First, gather all the details about your trip, including the date, pickup location, destination, number of passengers, and any special requests. Then, call our 24/7 reservations line at 951-951-3110 or fill out the online quote form on our website. One of our agents will provide you with a free, instant quote within minutes. Once you’re ready to reserve, you’ll sign the contract electronically and put down a deposit to secure your bus.

Your quote includes the base rental fee and driver compensation, but it does not cover additional expenses such as tolls, parking, or special permits. These costs vary depending on your route and destination. For example, if you’re traveling to a downtown area or major venue, you may need to pay for parking or a loading permit. Local examples include parking fees at Angel Stadium, Honda Center, or LA Live. Our team will help you identify any potential extra charges when you book so there are no surprises later.

Corona’s public transit options include the Riverside Transit Agency (RTA) bus system, Metrolink commuter rail service, and limited local shuttles. While these services are useful for individual commuters, they are not ideal for large groups traveling together to the same destination. Schedules may not align with your event, and multiple transfers can be inconvenient. A private minibus offers door-to-door service, flexible departure times, and keeps your entire group together on one vehicle. It’s the best choice for group outings, corporate events, weddings, and trips beyond the reach of local transit.
