35 Passenger Minibus Rental
Getting your group from the Santa Cruz Wharf to the Boardwalk, up Highway 9 into the redwoods, or down to a winery in the Santa Cruz Mountains is easy when you compare quotes for a 35 passenger minibus in Santa Cruz through this website. Instead of calling company after company and waiting on callbacks, you fill out one quick form to request quotes and compare 35-passenger minibus rates from a large network of independently owned transportation companies serving Santa Cruz and the surrounding areas — no account needed, free quote online or by phone at 831-888-8650. Whether your group is 30 college students heading to a surf competition at Steamer Lane, a wedding party shuttling between venues on West Cliff Drive, or a corporate team transferring from San José Mineta International Airport (SJC) down Highway 17 to a retreat in the Santa Cruz Mountains, a 35-passenger minibus hits the sweet spot between a small van and a full-size coach — big enough to keep everyone together, nimble enough to handle the narrow roads and limited parking that make Santa Cruz trips a logistical puzzle without the right plan.

More About 35 Passenger Minibuses
A 35 passenger minibus rental in Santa Cruz is one of the most versatile options in the network — roomy enough for a full group with gear, compact enough to navigate the tight turns on Mountain View Road or find a workable drop-off near the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk (400 Beach St, Santa Cruz, CA 95060) without the headaches a full-size motorcoach would create on those blocks. Highway 17 over the Santa Cruz Mountains is already one of the more demanding commutes in the Bay Area — steep grades, tight curves, and heavy weekend traffic that backs up past Scotts Valley on sunny Saturdays. One 35-passenger minibus can handle all of that in one vehicle, on one route, at one quoted rate, so your group can travel together instead of trickling in from a caravan of rental cars that got separated somewhere near the Summit Road interchange.
Through this website, you can compare 35-passenger minibuses from a large network of transportation companies serving Santa Cruz, Capitola, Scotts Valley, Aptos, and the broader Monterey Bay region.

Common Amenities Available on Santa Cruz 35 Passenger Minibus Rentals
Heading up to Swanton Berry Farm (25 Swanton Rd, Davenport, CA 95017) for a farm visit, or shuttling your team from downtown Santa Cruz hotels out to a full-day offsite along the coast? The amenities on a 35-passenger minibus make the ride part of the experience rather than something to survive. Depending on the vehicle you select through the network, your minibus may come equipped with reclining seats, climate control, overhead storage compartments, power outlets, WiFi connectivity, a PA system, and onboard restrooms — so a longer haul up into the mountains or down to Monterey stays comfortable for every passenger from the first mile to the last.
Amenities do vary by vehicle, so use the quote tool to browse specific buses, compare features, and find the configuration your group actually needs.

How much does a 35 Passenger Minibus cost in Santa Cruz?
Santa Cruz 35-passenger minibus rental prices typically run $225–$370+ per hour, $1,815–$2,415+ per day, or $6.20–$8.95+ per mile depending on the vehicle, the date, and the specifics of your itinerary. A Saturday evening shuttle from downtown Santa Cruz hotels to a private event in Aptos will price differently than a weekday airport transfer from SJC down Highway 17 — and a winery crawl through the Santa Cruz Mountains with five stops will price differently than a straight round-trip to Santa Cruz Municipal Wharf (21 Municipal Wharf, Santa Cruz, CA 95060). The fastest way to request a quote for your specific date and headcount is to use the 30-second online quote tool right on this page — no account required, then review results.
