Minibus Rentals Midland, Texas

The interior of a minibus is designed for comfort, convenience, and group travel. You’ll find forward-facing, high-back seats upholstered in either cloth or vinyl, with optional leatherette upgrades on premium models. Aisles are wide enough for easy movement, and there are overhead parcel racks for carry-on items. Larger minibuses offer underfloor luggage compartments accessible from the outside. Interior lighting includes LED ceiling lights and individual reading lamps. The driver’s area is separated by a modesty panel, and there’s space at the front or rear for additional storage or a small cooler.

Minibuses can seat anywhere from 15 to 35 passengers, depending on the model and interior configuration. Smaller models like the Ford Transit or Mercedes-Benz Sprinter typically offer 15-20 seats, while mid-size options such as the Turtle Top Odyssey or Grech Motors GM33 provide 25-28 seats. Larger minibuses like the Freightliner M2-based models can accommodate up to 35 passengers. Seating layouts are usually forward-facing with high-back, reclining seats, but custom configurations—including perimeter seating—are available to suit different group needs.

Standard amenities on a minibus include powerful air conditioning, reclining seats, Wi-Fi, 110V/USB power outlets, and PA systems. Many models feature flat-screen monitors mounted at the front and mid-cabin, DVD/Blu-ray players, Bluetooth-enabled sound systems, and onboard restrooms with full privacy doors. Additional options include tinted windows, LED accent lighting, and upgraded audio packages.

Yes, most modern minibuses come equipped with power outlets to keep your devices charged on the road. You’ll typically find one or two 110V AC outlets located near the front and rear of the cabin, perfect for plugging in laptops, chargers, or other electronics. Many models also include USB ports integrated into the seatbacks or armrests for convenient phone and tablet charging. If you need additional outlets or specific voltage requirements, let your reservation specialist know when booking-we can customize the setup to fit your group’s needs.

Most standard minibuses do not come equipped with bathrooms, but some larger models (30+ passengers) can be custom-ordered with a small onboard restroom at the rear of the vehicle. If having a bathroom is essential for your trip, please specify this requirement when you request a quote so we can match you with a minibus that includes this amenity. Keep in mind that adding a restroom may reduce seating capacity slightly and could affect the final price of your rental.

Yes, minibuses offer several options for storing luggage and personal belongings. Most models come with overhead compartments inside the cabin, similar to those found on full-size motorcoaches, which are ideal for backpacks, purses, and small carry-on items. For larger bags and suitcases, many minibuses feature either a rear storage area or an exterior luggage compartment accessible from the outside. Some versions also include under-seat storage or additional shelving at the back of the bus. If your group has significant luggage requirements, be sure to mention this when booking so we can recommend a minibus model with adequate storage space.

The cost of renting a minibus in Midland depends on several factors, including the size of the bus, the length of your trip, and the time of year. Local trips within Midland County are typically billed by the hour, with rates ranging from $150 to $350 per hour and a four-hour minimum. Longer trips outside the Permian Basin may be charged by the mile or by the day. Additional fees for tolls, parking, and driver accommodations may apply.

It’s best to book your Midland minibus rental as early as possible to ensure availability and lock in the best rates. We recommend making your reservation at least six to nine months in advance, especially if your trip falls during peak travel times such as spring break, summer vacation, or major local events like the West Texas Oil Show, Permian Basin International Oil Show, or UTPB graduation weekend. Last-minute bookings are possible but may be subject to limited vehicle selection and higher prices. Once you have your travel dates confirmed, contact our team to get a quote and secure your minibus with a deposit.

No, your quote does NOT include tolls, parking, or special event fees. These costs vary by location and are the responsibility of the customer. For example, if your minibus needs to park at Grande Communications Stadium, Midland County Horseshoe Arena, or a downtown Midland garage, you must either pre-pay for a parking pass or reimburse the driver upon arrival. Toll charges on SH 349, Loop 250, or I-20 will be billed separately after your trip. Always check with your destination-whether it’s a hotel, venue, or sports complex-for their specific bus parking policies and fees. Full terms and conditions will be outlined in your rental agreement.

Midland’s public transportation is limited compared to larger cities, making it difficult for large groups to rely on buses or trains for timely travel. While Midland does have a fixed-route bus system (EZ Rider) serving the urban area, routes are limited and may not align with your group’s schedule or destination. Rideshare services like Uber and Lyft are available but can become expensive and impractical when coordinating multiple vehicles for a single group. Taxis and rental cars offer additional options but lack the convenience of traveling together as one unit. In contrast, a private minibus rental provides door-to-door service anywhere in Midland County-including Odessa, Andrews, and Big Spring-allowing your entire group to stay on the same schedule without splitting up. You’ll also benefit from comfortable seating, onboard storage, and the ability to set your own itinerary.
