More About 25 Passenger Minibuses
Cross the Central Valley in comfort — that's the promise of the 25-passenger minibus, and it delivers each time! This is the sweet spot vehicle for groups that have outgrown a couple of SUVs but don't need a full 56-passenger motorcoach taking up half a parking lot on Main Street. In Merced, that matters.
These buses are compact enough to navigate the neighborhoods around UC Merced, handle the turn onto M Street near downtown, and pull up cleanly at hotel loading zones along Motel Drive — without the oversized-vehicle headaches that come with a full-size coach. You'll have your pick of popular models like the Glaval Universal, Starcraft Starlite, Turtle Top Terra Transit, and more. Every one of them gives you a center aisle, enough roof height to walk to your seat standing up instead of climbing over a bench, and a climate-controlled cabin so the Central Valley heat stays outside where it belongs.
Why limit yourself to one fleet? Compare 25-passenger minibuses from a network of providers serving Merced and the surrounding area — all in one place, with instant online pricing and vehicle photos, no account needed!

Common Amenities Available on 25 Passenger Minibus Rentals
Fill your ride with the features your group actually wants on a Merced trip! Every 25-passenger minibus in the network comes with air conditioning and climate control — essential when August temperatures in the San Joaquin Valley push past 100 degrees, and many builds run a secondary rear AC system so the back row stays just as cool as the front. Seats are high-back reclining in leather or cloth depending on the model, with extra legroom so nobody arrives stiff after a long run up Highway 99 or over the Pacheco Pass on Highway 152.
Overhead compartments handle carry-ons and day bags at one bag per person, and a rear luggage area fits roller bags and duffels for groups with more gear. You'll also find power outlets and USB charging ports, flat-screen monitors with DVD or HDMI input, a PA system with a wireless microphone for tour guides or group leaders, and Bluetooth and AUX stereo so you can run your own playlist the whole way from Merced to wherever you're headed.
WiFi is available on many models — great for the team that wants to stay productive on the ride from campus to a Bay Area conference. Onboard restrooms are available on select models, and ADA-accessible vehicles with rear or side wheelchair lifts are available on request. Just mention what you need when you fill out your quote, and the network will match you with a bus that has exactly what your group is looking for!

How much does a 25 Passenger Minibus cost to rent?
We help you compare 25-passenger minibus rentals in Merced so you can find pricing fast — in under 30 seconds, without creating an account or waiting on a callback. Rentals cost $190–$350+ per hour, $1,420–$2,180+ per day, and $5.40–$7.90+ per mile depending on the provider, the date, and the specific vehicle. A Saturday wedding shuttle looping between a Merced hotel and a venue out in the countryside will price differently than a Tuesday airport transfer to Fresno Yosemite International — and a handful of dates on the Merced calendar, like UC Merced commencement in May or a busy summer weekend near Yosemite National Park, have limited availability across the whole region, which means higher prices.

Enter your date, group size, and pickup location to land on a results page showing vehicles, photos, and pricing from a network of bus companies serving Merced and the Central Valley — no account, No waiting for callbacks to get pricing, no guessing.
