20 Passenger Minibus
Our 24/7 team at Charter Bus Rental Costa Mesa is proud to offer several models of 20-passenger minibuses for rent in Costa Mesa, Orange County, and beyond. This is a great mid-size shuttle for any group that needs something larger than a van but smaller and more affordable than a full-size 56-passenger charter bus. We regularly dispatch 20-seat minibuses to corporate campuses, wedding venues, sports facilities, schools, construction sites, and neighborhood pickups across Costa Mesa—including South Coast Metro, Mesa Verde, College Park, and the SoBeCa district. Available models include Grech Motors GM28 and GM33, Turtle Top VT3, VT3+, and Terra Transit, all built on rugged Ford E450, F550, or F600 chassis and available with either standard or extended (EL) floorplans. Call our team 24/7 at 657-467-4850 to get an instant quote and ask about specific models available in your area.

Amenities Available on our 20 Passenger Minibuses in Costa Mesa

Wi-Fi
Every 20-passenger minibus comes standard with onboard 4G/5G Wi-Fi supporting up to 30 devices, perfect for business travelers heading to meetings near South Coast Plaza, students streaming music on school shuttles, or event guests sharing photos en route to the OC Fair & Event Center.

Onboard Restrooms
Many of our 20-passenger minibuses can be equipped with a compact onboard restroom, ideal for longer trips up the 405 to Los Angeles, down the 55 to Newport Beach, or inland routes toward Irvine and Anaheim. This amenity reduces unscheduled stops and keeps the schedule tight for athletic, corporate, or airport transfers. Restrooms are typically located at the rear of the cabin and include basic hand-sanitizing facilities.

Onboard TVs
Flat-screen monitors are available throughout the cabin, either front-facing or ceiling-mounted, depending on the minibus model. These screens can play DVDs, connect to a laptop via HDMI, or display presentations for corporate groups traveling between Costa Mesa and nearby business districts.

Power Outlets
Each seating row includes multiple 110V power outlets and USB-A/C ports, ensuring that laptops, tablets, and smartphones remain charged throughout the journey. This is especially useful for convention attendees heading to the OC Fair & Event Center or business travelers bound for John Wayne Airport.

Climate Control with Personal Air Vents
Advanced HVAC systems maintain a comfortable temperature year-round, with personal air vents available above each seat. Whether it’s a hot summer day or a cool evening, passengers can easily adjust airflow to their preference, ensuring a pleasant ride from start to finish.

Leather Seating
Our minibuses feature high-back seats upholstered in either cloth or upgraded leatherette vinyl, depending on the model. Reclining backs, padded headrests, and optional armrests provide a comfortable seating arrangement for all passengers. The Grech GM33 offers some of the most comfortable seats in this class.

Overhead & Undercarriage Storage
Carry-on bags, backpacks, and jackets can be stored in the spacious overhead parcel racks that run along both sides of the aisle. For groups with additional luggage—such as sports teams with equipment or travelers with suitcases—some minibus models offer rear cargo areas or even undercarriage storage compartments.
