More About 20 Passenger Minibuses
The 20-passenger minibus is a great pick for groups that don't need a full-size 56-passenger motorcoach! In Santa Maria, that matters. These buses are compact enough to navigate the turn off South Broadway onto Betteravia Road, handle the tighter parking approaches at the Santa Maria Public Airport (SMX), and pull up cleanly at hotel loading zones along North Broadway — without the oversized-vehicle headaches that come with a full coach.
You'll have your pick of popular models like the Glaval Universal, Starcraft Starlite, Turtle Top Terra Transit, and more. Every one of them gives you a center aisle, enough roof height to walk to your seat standing up, and a climate-controlled cabin where nobody's sitting on a lap.

Common 20 Passenger Minibus Amenities to Compare
The 20-passenger minibuses available through the network come loaded with TONS of great features your group actually wants on a Santa Maria trip! Every model includes air conditioning and climate control — critical when the Central Coast marine layer burns off by noon and temperatures climb fast inland toward Orcutt and Nipomo. Seats are high-back reclining in leather or cloth depending on the model, with extra legroom.
Overhead compartments handle carry-ons and day bags, and a rear luggage area fits roller bags and duffels. You'll also find power outlets and USB charging ports, flat-screen monitors with DVD or HDMI input, a PA system with wireless mic, and Bluetooth/AUX stereo so you can run your own playlist. WiFi is available on many models, onboard restrooms on select builds, and ADA-accessible vehicles with wheelchair lifts are available on request — just mention it when you fill out your quote!

What does a 20 Passenger Minibus rental cost?
20-passenger minibus rentals in Santa Maria cost $190–$340+ per hour, $1,300–$2,080+ per day, and $5.15–$7.50+ per mile depending on the provider, the date, and the specific vehicle. A Saturday wine tour looping through the Santa Maria Valley American Viticultural Area — stops at Foxen Canyon Road tasting rooms, dinner in downtown Santa Maria, and a hotel return — prices differently than a weekday airport transfer to SMX or a midweek shuttle to the Santa Maria Fairpark in Santa Maria. The Santa Maria Fairpark hosts the Santa Barbara County Fair each July, which is one of the tightest windows of the year for available vehicles across the entire Santa Maria Valley — book three to six months out for that stretch.
