A minibus is the Reno and Tahoe vehicle for 25 to 35 people: lake weddings, team retreats, small ski groups and event nights. It books at an instant all-in price from a vetted operator. Nevada trips are matched to carriers holding Nevada Transportation Authority (NTA) authority, and trips that cross between California and Nevada use carriers with FMCSA interstate passenger authority.


Minibuses fit lake venues, lodges and resorts that a coach may not.
Most units seat 25 to 35 with climate control and a PA system. Most have no restroom and limited gear space.
The smaller body handles narrow lake roads better.
Minibuses quote against a five hour minimum at $135 to $185 per hour.
