More About 28 Passenger Minibuses
This is the sweet spot of 25 to 28 passenger minibus rentals, big enough to seat your entire group comfortably, compact enough to navigate the winding coastal roads between Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk (400 Beach Street, Santa Cruz, CA 95060) and Natural Bridges State Beach (2531 West Cliff Drive, Santa Cruz, CA 95060) without the bulk of a full-size motorcoach. A 28 passenger minibus rental in Santa Cruz sits right in the middle of the minibus rental range, making it the go-to choice for wedding guest shuttles, corporate team outings, school field trips, and wine tours up into the Santa Cruz Mountains. Compare vehicles, photos, and pricing from a large network of independent providers, all in one place!
At the Boardwalk, buses unload in the street loading zone between Neptune’s Kingdom and the Main Entrance, then proceed to the River Lot, so your group has a shared drop-off before the bus parks. Bus parking there is limited and not guaranteed. At Natural Bridges, buses carrying 25 or more passengers pay $100 for day-use parking, which isn't included in your free price quote, so your group can ride together while keeping the venue parking cost clear.
Natural Bridges bus parking rates are listed by California State Parks.
