18 Passenger Minibus Rental
The 18-passenger minibus is a versatile, compact option ideal for smaller groups who still want plenty of comfort and modern amenities. Perfect for airport transfers to San Diego International, wedding shuttles to venues like BRICK or the San Diego Central Library rooftop, corporate outings to downtown offices, or transporting friends and family to Padres games at Petco Park, this minibus offers forward-facing seats, cushioned upholstery, individual lighting and air vents, and space for carry-on bags. It’s easy to maneuver through city traffic yet provides a significantly upgraded experience compared to standard vans or sprinter-style vehicles.
20 Passenger Minibus Rental
The 20-passenger minibus hits the sweet spot between capacity and maneuverability, making it one of our most popular choices for mid-sized groups traveling in and around National City. Use it for school trips to the USS Midway Museum, church outings, bachelor/bachelorette parties in the Gaslamp Quarter, or employee shuttles to job sites and you’ll get a comfortable, climate-controlled cabin with reclining seats, tinted windows, overhead storage, and optional upgrades like Bluetooth audio and USB charging ports. This model handles freeway runs and surface streets equally well, ensuring everyone arrives together and on time.


25 Passenger Minibus Rental
When you need extra seating but don’t want to step up to a full-size coach, the 25-passenger minibus delivers with room for larger groups plus all the amenities that make charter bus travel convenient and enjoyable. It’s ideal for moving sports teams to games at local fields, running campus shuttles for Southwestern College, or handling cruise transfers to the Port of San Diego. Passengers get high-back seats with armrests, powerful HVAC, PA system for announcements, and additional luggage space. Compact exterior dimensions mean it can still access tight loading zones and curbside stops.
56 Passenger Charter Bus Rental
The 56-passenger motorcoach is the flagship of our fleet and the industry standard for long-distance and high-capacity transportation needs. Book this coach for band trips, convention shuttles to the San Diego Convention Center, multi-day tours up the coast, or any event where you need to move a large group efficiently. Onboard amenities include reclining seats with footrests, full restroom, multiple video monitors with DVD/Blu-ray player, four-across seating with center aisle, and underfloor luggage bays capable of holding everyone’s suitcases and gear. Additional features include a galley area with sink and countertop, Wi-Fi connectivity, power outlets at every row, and an advanced sound system with wireless microphone.
