20 Passenger Minibus

Our 20-passenger minibuses are available in a wide range of exterior colors to fit any occasion or branding requirement. Standard color options include black, white, silver, gray, blue, red, navy, and yellow—perfect for matching school colors, corporate branding, or wedding themes. If you need something more customized, we also offer full-color wraps and custom graphics so you can display your logo, event branding, or any design you choose right on the side of the bus. Just let us know what color or wrap you need when you request a quote, and we’ll make sure you get exactly the look you want. With one of the largest and most versatile fleets in the region, Charter Bus Company Lorain can provide a 20-passenger minibus in any color or style to meet your needs.

Every 20-passenger minibus in our fleet comes standard with a powerful front and rear HVAC system to keep the cabin comfortable year-round, plus overhead parcel racks for storing backpacks and personal items. You’ll get forward-facing seats upholstered in either durable cloth or easy-to-clean vinyl, with optional upgrades to leatherette or full leather upholstery. Each row includes a fold-down armrest and a cup holder built into the seatback or center console. There’s a full-length center aisle for easy movement through the cabin, and a PA microphone mounted near the front door for announcements. Optional upgrades include USB charging ports at every seat, a flat-screen monitor at the front of the cabin, Bluetooth/AUX input for the sound system, and a rear luggage compartment accessible from outside the vehicle. Additional options include Wi-Fi, individual reading lights, and upgraded flooring materials.

A 20-passenger minibus rental in Lorain typically costs $150–$440+ per hour, $1,610–$3,365 per day, or $4.00–$8.95 per mile, depending on the specifics of your trip. Your quote includes the base rental fee and gratuity but does not cover parking passes at venues (which you’ll need to purchase separately), tolls, or the driver’s hotel room on overnight trips. Please note that these are estimated rates; actual pricing may be significantly higher depending on current vehicle availability, exact pickup location, and time of year. To get real-time, all-inclusive pricing for your specific trip, call our team anytime at 440-849-0960 or use our online quote tool. We’ll give you an exact number upfront so you can budget confidently and compare options before you book.

The 20-passenger minibus is one of the most versatile and popular vehicles in our fleet, offering a perfect balance of capacity, comfort, and maneuverability for mid-sized groups. Compared to a standard sprinter van (which seats up to 15), the minibus provides significantly more seating, headroom, and aisle space, making it ideal for larger families, sports teams, or corporate shuttles. While it doesn’t have the full-size luggage bays or onboard restroom found on our 56-passenger charter buses, it’s much easier to navigate through city streets and tight parking lots—perfect for airport transfers, wedding parties, or campus tours. You’ll still get amenities like reclining seats, strong A/C, a PA system, and optional Wi-Fi or TV monitors. If you need something smaller, we offer sprinter vans and mini-coaches; if you need more seats, our full-size motorcoaches can handle up to 56 passengers with all the same amenities scaled up. Whatever your group size, we have a vehicle that fits.

We recommend booking your 20-passenger minibus at least three to six months in advance to ensure availability and secure the best rates—especially if your trip falls during a busy season or coincides with major local events. In Lorain, demand for charter buses spikes around large-scale events like the Lorain International Festival, Rockin’ on the River concert series, high school graduations, and spring/fall sports tournaments. Summer months, holiday weekends, and peak wedding season also tend to fill up quickly. If you’re planning a trip during one of these high-demand periods, it’s best to reserve your bus as early as possible—ideally six months ahead—to lock in your preferred vehicle and avoid last-minute price increases. For trips scheduled during less busy times of the year, a three-month lead time is usually sufficient. Keep in mind that you can always contact us to check availability and get a quote before finalizing your plans. Once you’re ready to book, our team will guide you through the reservation process and answer any questions you may have.

A 20-passenger minibus typically accommodates one carry-on–size bag per passenger stored in the rear luggage compartment, plus additional smaller items or backpacks placed in overhead parcel racks inside the cabin. While it doesn’t offer the same undercarriage storage bays as a full-size charter bus, the rear cargo area is ideal for roller bags, duffel bags, or equipment cases. Larger items like folding tables, coolers, or musical instruments can also be secured in the back if needed. If your group requires extra storage space beyond what the minibus provides, ask about upgrading to a larger vehicle or adding a trailer attachment to ensure all baggage fits comfortably.
