35 Passenger Minibus

Our 35-passenger minibuses are available in a range of exterior colors including black, white, silver, grey, blue, red, navy, and yellow. We also offer custom wraps if you want to display a company logo, wedding monogram, or other personalized graphics. Interior finishes typically include either dark or light upholstery with coordinating flooring and trim. If you have a specific color preference, please let us know when booking and we will do our best to accommodate your request based on current fleet availability.

Standard amenities on our 35-passenger minibuses include cushioned reclining seats with armrests and headrests, individual LED reading lights, USB charging ports at each row, overhead parcel racks for carry-on items, a full climate control system (A/C and heat), flat-screen monitors (typically 2-4) with DVD player and HDMI input, Bluetooth-capable sound system, PA microphone, and either rear or mid-ship luggage storage capable of handling 15-25 suitcases. Additional features include WiFi hotspot, wood-look vinyl flooring, tinted windows for privacy, and onboard restroom at the rear of the cabin. This is a true mid-size coach built for long-distance comfort!

The average cost to rent a 35-passenger minibus in Monroe ranges from $1,200 to $3,500 per day, with hourly rates between $150 and $450+ depending on the length and details of your trip. Per-mile pricing typically falls between $4.00 and $9.95. Final quotes are based on several key factors: the total duration of the rental (hourly, daily, or multi-day), the distance traveled (local vs. out-of-state), time of year (peak season vs. off-peak), exact pickup and drop-off locations, and any special requests such as extra amenities or branding. Additional expenses may include tolls, parking fees, and lodging for the driver if an overnight stay is required.

The 35-passenger minibus bridges the gap between smaller 18–28 passenger shuttles and full-size 47–56 passenger motorcoaches, offering significantly more seating and storage than the former while remaining easier to maneuver and more budget-friendly than the latter. Compared to a 25-passenger minibus, the 35-seater adds roughly 10 extra seats, a second entry door or larger rear luggage area, and often dual flat screens up front instead of a single monitor. Headroom is better—typically 6’6” to 6’8”—and there’s space for either a full-width rear baggage wall or side-by-side coolers and equipment cases. Against a 56-passenger coach bus, you give up underfloor bays and the second axle, but gain the ability to navigate tighter suburban streets, avoid loading-zone restrictions, and control costs on short-to-medium trips where a full coach would be underfilled. For many mid-size groups, this is the “just right” option: big enough to feel like a real bus, small enough to run point-to-point without overkill.

You should book your 35-passenger minibus at least three to six months in advance to guarantee the best selection and pricing—especially if your trip falls during peak season, involves a major local event, or requires multiple vehicles. Demand for midsize buses like this is highest in the spring and early summer (April through June) due to overlapping wedding schedules at venues such as Forsgate Country Club and Princeton Meadows, school proms and graduations across Middlesex County, and corporate conference calendars in nearby Edison and New Brunswick. Fall months (September–November) also fill up quickly with college homecomings at Rutgers University, religious retreats, and back-to-back sports charters for youth leagues and high schools. Last-minute bookings—less than four weeks out—may face limited availability or higher rates, particularly if you need something custom like a branded wrap or special interior layout. If your trip departs over a holiday weekend (Memorial Day, Labor Day) or coincides with regional events like NYC parades or Shore festivals, securing your reservation six months ahead is strongly recommended. Buses are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis and the fleet does sell out during busy periods.

A 35-passenger minibus typically accommodates one large suitcase per person plus a small carry-on, thanks to a combination of rear luggage compartments and overhead storage racks. Most models offer between 100 and 150 cubic feet of total storage space. The rear luggage area can hold approximately 30 to 35 standard roller bags, while the overhead racks are suitable for backpacks, tote bags, or briefcases. If your group is traveling with additional equipment—such as musical instruments, sports gear, or presentation materials—please mention this when booking so we can reserve a bus with extra storage capacity or make other arrangements to ensure all items fit comfortably.
