Meet the 15 Passenger Minibus
Keeping your whole group together in Santa Monica is exactly what the 15-passenger minibus was built for! These vehicles are compact enough to navigate the tight turns along Third Street Promenade, pull cleanly into hotel loading zones on Ocean Avenue, and handle the stop-and-go crawl on Lincoln Boulevard without the oversized-vehicle headaches that come with a full 56-passenger coach. You'll find popular models like the Glaval Universal, Starcraft Starlite, and Turtle Top Terra Transit — every one of them giving you 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 Monica and the surrounding area — all in one place, with instant online pricing and vehicle photos, no account needed!

Common 15 Passenger Minibus Amenities to Compare
This is where the 15-passenger minibus really shines — because the amenities available through the network go far beyond a basic seat and a seatbelt! Every model comes with air conditioning and climate control so your group stays comfortable whether you're crawling through Venice Beach traffic on a hot August afternoon or heading inland toward the San Fernando Valley. Seats are high-back reclining in leather or cloth depending on the model, with extra legroom so nobody arrives stiff.
Overhead compartments handle carry-ons and day bags — 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 down the Pacific Coast Highway. WiFi is available on many models — great for the team that needs to stay connected on the ride from Santa Monica to a meeting in Century City.

How much does a 15 Passenger Minibus cost?
The fastest way to know exactly what your trip costs is to fill out the quote form on this page — you'll see pricing from a network of transportation companies serving Santa Monica in under 30 seconds! That said, 15-passenger minibus rentals in Santa Monica cost $190–$325+ per hour, $1,200–$1,950+ per day, and $4.95–$7.15+ per mile depending on the provider, the date, and the specific vehicle. A Saturday evening airport run to Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) (1 World Way, Los Angeles, CA 90045) will price differently than a Tuesday morning shuttle between corporate offices in Santa Monica and Culver City — and a handful of dates on the LA calendar pull demand across the entire Westside at once.
The LA Marathon closes major corridors through Santa Monica in March, summer concert season at the KCRW Apogee Sessions and outdoor venues across the metro fills weekend buses fast, and prom season in April and May across Santa Monica High School and surrounding districts is one of the single busiest stretches of the year for minibuses and party buses alike. The earlier you book, the better your options — and the better your price. Enter your date, group size, and pickup location to unlock instant pricing from a network of bus companies serving Santa Monica and the greater LA area — no account, No waiting for callbacks to get pricing, no guessing.
