More About 15 Passenger Minibuses
Just the right size for groups that don't need a full-size 56-passenger motorcoach, the 15-passenger minibus is one of the most practical vehicles for getting around Santa Cruz and the surrounding Monterey Bay region! These buses are compact enough to navigate Pacific Avenue through downtown, pull up cleanly at the drop-off circle at UC Santa Cruz (1156 High St, Santa Cruz, CA 95064), and handle the winding approach to venues up in the Santa Cruz Mountains — without the oversized-vehicle headaches that come with a larger coach. You'll have your pick of popular models with a center aisle, enough roof height to walk to your seat standing up, and a climate-controlled cabin so nobody arrives uncomfortable.
Why limit yourself to one fleet? Compare 15-passenger minibuses from a network of providers serving Santa Cruz and the surrounding area — all in one place, with instant online pricing and vehicle photos, no account needed!

What does a 15 Passenger Minibus rental cost?
Because every trip in Santa Cruz looks a little different, 15-passenger minibus rental prices vary based on your date, how long you need the bus, and how far you're going. Rates run $180–$310+ per hour, $1,150–$1,880+ per day, and $4.75–$6.95+ per mile depending on the provider and the vehicle. A Saturday airport shuttle over Highway 17 to SJC will price differently than a Tuesday afternoon field trip to the Seymour Marine Discovery Center (100 McAllister Way, Santa Cruz, CA 95060) — and peak dates like summer weekends along the coast and UC Santa Cruz graduation in June fill fast.
