Santa Barbara Minibus Company has several types of 20-passenger minibuses available across Santa Barbara County, Ventura County, and the Central Coast—perfect for any group that needs something compact but comfortable. These midsize shuttles are great for moving wedding guests between venues in Montecito, getting corporate teams to meetings along State Street or in Goleta’s tech parks, or running winery tours through the Santa Ynez Valley.

Each one comes loaded with amenities like leather seats, fast WiFi, power outlets at every row, flat-screen monitors, Bluetooth sound system, strong A/C, and both overhead racks and rear luggage space—so your riders stay happy whether you’re crossing town or heading down the 101 to LAX or up to UCSB.

How Much Does A 20 Passenger Minibus Rental in Santa Barbara Cost?
A 20-passenger minibus rental in Santa Barbara typically costs $157 to $414 per hour, $1,300 to $3,100 per day, or $4.00 to $7.00 per mile depending on your exact itinerary and length of contract. You’ll pay less if you’re just doing a quick round-trip shuttle between places like Stearns Wharf and the Funk Zone, but expect higher rates during peak wedding season (May–October) or if you need the bus for multiple days—like a three-day corporate retreat at the Rosewood Miramar Beach or a wine tour weekend hitting multiple vineyards in Los Olivos and Santa Ynez. We always include the driver, fuel, tolls, and standard amenities in your quote so there are no hidden fees. For the best price, try to book at least 2–3 months in advance, especially if your trip overlaps with UCSB graduation, Fiesta Week, or major events at the Santa Barbara Bowl.
