35 Passenger Minibus

Our 35-passenger minibuses are available in a wide range of exterior colors to match the tone and formality of any event. Standard options include black, white, silver, grey, blue, red, navy, and yellow. For corporate clients or special occasions, we also offer custom wraps so you can display company branding, wedding monograms, or school logos along the full length of the bus. Interior color schemes typically feature neutral tones such as charcoal or beige for maximum versatility, with accent lighting that can be adjusted to suit the mood. Whether you need a classic white bus for a wedding shuttle, an all-black vehicle for executive transport, or something completely customized, we have an option that will fit your vision.

Standard amenities on the 35-passenger minibus include high-back reclining seats with armrests and footrests, individual LED reading lights, USB charging ports at each row, 110V power outlets, overhead parcel racks, flat-screen monitors (typically 2–4), DVD player, PA system, Wi-Fi, hardwood-style flooring, and tinted windows. The bus also features dual-zone climate control, a rear luggage compartment, and either leatherette or fabric upholstery. Additional comforts include cup holders, fold-down tray tables, and Bluetooth audio connectivity.

The cost to rent a 35-passenger minibus in Mount Vernon typically ranges from $1,610 to $3,465 per day, with hourly rates between $150 and $450+ and per-mile charges from $4.00 to $9.95. Final pricing depends on several key factors: trip distance, duration, time of year, and exact pickup location. Local charters within Westchester or NYC suburbs will cost less than multi-day out-of-state trips. Peak seasons like spring wedding months, summer concert series, or fall sports schedules often see higher demand and rates. Additional expenses not included in the base quote are parking passes at venues (which you’ll need to purchase), tolls incurred during travel, and hotel accommodation for the driver on overnight itineraries. Gratuity is included in the quote, but customers are responsible for any variable costs accrued during the trip. For the most accurate estimate, contact us with your full itinerary—destination, number of days, and special requests—so we can provide a personalized quote. Prices may be significantly higher depending on real-time availability and exact routing. To lock in the best rate, we recommend booking as early as possible, especially if your event falls on a holiday weekend or overlaps with major local events.

The 35-passenger minibus occupies a sweet spot in our fleet between smaller 20–28 passenger sprinter-style shuttles and full-size 47–56 passenger coach buses, offering significantly more seating and luggage capacity than mid-size options while remaining easier to maneuver and more affordable than the largest motorcoaches. Compared to a 25-passenger bus, the 35 adds roughly 30% more seating and a second rear luggage compartment, making it better suited for large wedding parties, corporate groups, or athletic teams with extra gear. It shares many amenities with the 44-passenger minibus—such as reclining seats, dual flat screens, WiFi, and USB charging—but is about six feet shorter in overall length, which improves handling on narrow city streets and tight suburban roads. Unlike the largest 54-passenger buses that feature full underfloor luggage bays and lavatories, the 35-passenger keeps storage above floor level and typically does not include a restroom, though one can be added on select models if requested. This size is ideal for customers who need to move a substantial number of people—more than two sprinter vans could handle—but do not require the full interstate touring capability of a 50+ seat coach. It remains light enough for quick loading, versatile for regional travel across New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut, and is one of the most popular choices for its balance of capacity, comfort, and cost-efficiency.

We recommend booking your 35-passenger minibus at least three to six months in advance to ensure the best selection and pricing, especially if your trip falls during peak season or coincides with a major local event. Spring and summer dates tend to sell out quickly due to overlapping wedding schedules, school graduations, and corporate outings, while fall weekends are busy with sports charters and college homecomings. If you’re traveling over a holiday like Memorial Day, Fourth of July, or Thanksgiving, or if your itinerary requires multiple vehicles or special customizations, securing your reservation even earlier—six months to a year ahead—is ideal. Last-minute bookings are possible if we have availability, but options may be limited and rates can be significantly higher. Once you have your event date and rough headcount, it’s best to call us right away to lock in a bus. A deposit is required to confirm the reservation, with the balance typically due closer to the departure date. The farther in advance you book, the more choices you’ll have regarding bus color, floor plan, and amenities.

A 35-passenger minibus offers substantial luggage capacity suitable for medium-length trips, airport transfers, and events requiring extra storage. Most models feature either a full rear luggage wall or dual side-entry baggage compartments, providing a total volume of 100–150 cubic feet. This translates to space for approximately 35 standard suitcases (22” x 14” x 9”)—one per passenger—plus additional room for duffel bags, backpacks, or equipment cases. Overhead parcel racks inside the cabin accommodate carry-on items such as laptop bags, purses, and coats. For groups traveling with bulky gear (e.g., musical instruments, sports equipment), the rear storage area can fit several large cases or coolers. If your party has oversized or excess baggage, please inform our team so we can arrange a trailer or recommend a larger vehicle. The luggage area is fully enclosed, accessible from outside the bus, and keeps all belongings secure and separate from the passenger cabin during transit.
