Charter Bus & Minibus Rentals in Oakland, California

Oakland Minibus Company offers a wide range of bus rentals in Oakland to fit any group size or event. Our fleet includes full-size charter buses that seat up to 56 passengers—great for large groups traveling to places like the Oakland Coliseum, Oracle Arena, or the Oakland Convention Center. We also have smaller minibuses (15-, 20-, 25-, and 35-passenger options) that are perfect for shuttling wedding guests between Jack London Square venues, corporate teams to downtown offices, or students on field trips to the Oakland Zoo or Chabot Space & Science Center. If you need something even more compact, we can provide sprinter vans ideal for airport transfers to OAK or quick hops across the Bay Bridge.

The cost of renting a charter bus in Oakland depends on several factors: the type of vehicle, trip duration, mileage, and time of year. For example, a one-day local minibus rental might start around $1,200–$1,800, while a multi-day charter with a 56-passenger motorcoach could range from $3,000–$5,000+ depending on your itinerary. Busy seasons like spring graduations (UC Berkeley, Mills College) or summer festival weekends (Art + Soul, First Fridays) can affect pricing.
