Midsize coach rental for 29 to 35 passengers

The midsize coach is the one people forget to ask for. For groups of 25 to 35, it is often the right answer.

What a midsize coach carries

A midsize coach seats 29 to 35. The under-floor bays hold about 190 to 285 cubic feet, roughly half of what a full-size coach carries. That is enough for day bags and some suitcases, but not a week of luggage for 35.

Features match the big coaches: reclining seats, 3-point seat belts, overhead racks, USB at the seats. A restroom comes on some models, such as the Van Hool CX35 and Temsa TS 35. Some are wheelchair lift-ready. Ask for both if you need them.

Why pick midsize over full-size

A group of 32 on a 49-seat coach pays for 17 empty seats. A midsize coach fits the group. It is also shorter, which helps at small hotel driveways and in places with limits on bus size.

Church groups, corporate shuttles and day trips are the usual bookings. A 35-seat coach suits a youth retreat, a team offsite or a day to wine country.

When to go bigger

Go full-size if the group will grow, if the trip is overnight with suitcases, or if you want every seat free for spreading out on a long run. Go midsize if the head count is firm and the luggage is light.

Midsize coaches on day trips

Day trips are where the midsize coach earns its place. Boston to Salem, Denver to Boulder, Washington to Mount Vernon: short runs, light bags, smaller parking lots. Book the whole day, including the time the coach waits at each stop, so it is there when the group walks out.
