Abilene Minibus Rentals

Minibuses come in various sizes and can seat between 15 and 35 passengers depending on the model. Smaller models like the Grech Motors E13 or Turtle Top VT3 offer 15 to 18 seats, while larger options such as the Grech Motors GM33 or Executive Coach Builders Freightliner can accommodate up to 35 passengers. This range makes it easy to get you a minibus that fits the size of your group perfectly, whether you’re organizing a small team outing or transporting a larger party for an event. All seating configurations are designed to maximize comfort and accessibility for all riders.

When you rent a minibus from Abilene Party Bus Company, you’ll get a vehicle equipped with comfortable forward-facing seats, strong air conditioning (a must in Texas), and either cloth or vinyl upholstery. Many minibuses have overhead storage racks for backpacks or small bags, individual reading lights, and USB charging ports at each seat. Larger models often include video monitors for entertainment, PA systems for announcements, and tinted windows for privacy. If you need something specific—like Wi-Fi, extra luggage space, or a particular seating configuration—just let us know when you book.

Yes, most modern minibuses are equipped with electrical outlets and USB ports so passengers can charge their phones, laptops, or other electronic devices during the trip. The number and location of outlets can vary depending on the make and model of the bus, but there are usually enough to accommodate multiple passengers at once. If having access to power is important for your group—especially for longer trips or if people need to work while traveling—be sure to mention this when you book so we can provide a vehicle that meets your needs.

Most minibuses do not have onboard restrooms, especially smaller models. However, some of the largest minibuses (30+ passengers) may be available with a small rear lavatory. If you need a restroom on board, please specify this when booking so we can confirm availability. For shorter trips within Abilene—such as shuttles between parking lots and event venues, or local tours—most groups manage without a restroom by scheduling breaks at convenient locations along the route. If your itinerary includes longer stretches without stops, upgrading to a larger vehicle with a bathroom may be necessary.

Yes, minibuses have either overhead compartments or rear luggage space depending on the model. Overhead bins are suitable for backpacks, purses, and small carry-ons, while larger bags and suitcases can be stored in a dedicated rear luggage area. If your group has significant luggage—such as sports teams traveling with equipment or airport transfers with multiple suitcases—please let us know in advance so we can assign a vehicle with adequate storage capacity. For trips requiring even more space, additional options may be available upon request.

The cost of renting a minibus in Abilene depends on several factors, including the size of the vehicle, the length of the rental, and the time of year.

To get an accurate quote, you’ll need to provide details about your itinerary, including pickup and drop-off locations, schedule, and any special requests. The easiest way to find out what it will cost is to call Abilene Party Bus Company at 325-339-3250. We’ll ask you a few questions about your trip and give you a free, no-obligation quote in minutes.

It’s best to book your minibus as early as possible—ideally six to nine months before your event—especially if it falls during a busy season or coincides with major events in Abilene like the West Texas Fair & Rodeo or college graduations. Spring and fall are peak times due to weddings, school trips, and football games, so availability can become limited quickly. Last-minute bookings are sometimes possible but may result in fewer options and higher prices. Reserving early ensures you get the exact vehicle you want at the best rate, and it gives everyone peace of mind knowing transportation is locked in well ahead of time.

Your quote covers the base rental fee for the minibus and driver, but it does not include tolls, parking, or permits. Any additional charges incurred during the trip—such as toll roads between Dallas and Abilene or parking fees at the Taylor County Expo Center—are the responsibility of the customer. For example, parking passes for large events at Wildcat Stadium or McMurry University may need to be purchased separately. It’s important to factor these potential expenses into your budget when planning the trip. If you have specific questions about routes or destinations, our team can provide guidance on what to expect.

Abilene’s public transit system, CityLink, offers fixed-route bus service primarily within the city limits. While affordable, it has limited schedules and routes that may not align with your group’s needs, especially for events outside regular operating hours or destinations beyond standard stops. Taxis and rideshare apps like Uber are available but can be expensive and impractical for moving large groups together. Renting a private minibus gives you complete control over the schedule and route, ensuring everyone travels together comfortably and arrives on time. It’s the most efficient way to move a mid-size group anywhere in or around Abilene without relying on multiple vehicles or rigid public transit timetables.
