22 Seater Bus Hire in Johannesburg, Pretoria & Gauteng – With a Driver, Every Time
Reliable 22-Seater Bus Hire in Johannesburg & Gauteng
Need a Spacious Minibus with a Professional Driver?
You’ve got 22 people who need to be in the same place at the same time – a sports team, a department heading to a conference, a wedding party, a tour group – and the logistics of getting everyone there are starting to feel like a bigger job than the event itself. Multiple cars means multiple drivers, multiple parking spaces to find, and at least one person who takes a wrong turn or arrives twenty minutes late. A 22 seater bus solves that in one move: everyone leaves together, everyone arrives together, and you’ve got one thing to coordinate instead of ten.
That’s exactly what our 22 seater bus hire service is built for. MiniBus Hire has been moving groups around Johannesburg, Pretoria and the rest of Gauteng since 2014, and every single booking includes a professional driver – not as an add-on, not as something you negotiate for, but as standard. You tell us where everyone needs to be and when, and from that point it’s our problem, not yours.
One Call, One Vehicle, One Driver – Sorted
Our 22 seater vehicles are – air-conditioned, properly spaced with enough room to stay comfortable whether it’s a 20-minute hop across Sandton or a few hours on the road. If your group needs extra space for bags, sports kit, or display materials, we’ll add a luggage trailer so none of that eats into passenger seats.
And because we don’t offer this vehicle as a self-drive rental, you’re not handing the keys to someone in your group and hoping they know where they’re going. Every driver knows the routes, knows where the loading zones are at the venues they’re dropping you at, and has done it before. That’s the part that actually saves you time on the day – not the bus itself, but the person driving it.

Built For Whatever You’ve Got Planned
Corporate teams and conferences. If your business is based in Sandton, Rosebank, Midrand, Pretoria or Centurion, a 22 seater bus is usually a cheaper and far less stressful option than running two or three smaller vehicles, or asking staff to drive themselves and find parking once they get there. We do everything from a one-off airport pickup for visiting executives to recurring staff shuttle routes set up on an ongoing basis. If transport is something you’ll need again and again rather than just this once, talk to us about corporate minibus hire – recurring arrangements work out noticeably cheaper than booking each trip from scratch.
Schools and sports teams. Getting a squad, their kit, and a coach or two to an away fixture shouldn’t mean ten parents juggling lift schedules. We’ve covered fixtures across Gauteng, from local derbies to weekend tournaments with an early start and a late finish, and our drivers are used to working around match times – including the waiting around between the final whistle and getting everyone back on the bus. If this is a recurring need across a season, our school sports transport page covers how we set that up.
Airport transfers. Flying in a delegation, picking up a tour group, or collecting a family of visitors for an event? One 22 seater bus replaces the headache of several cars converging on OR Tambo or Lanseria at different times – and if flights are delayed, that’s simply built into how we plan the pickup, not something you need to manage yourself.
Weddings, concerts and stadium events. Nobody wants to think about parking, designated drivers, or finding their way home from an unfamiliar venue at night. Get your guests from the hotel to the venue and back in one trip, or skip the worst of the traffic around FNB Stadium, Loftus Versfeld or Ellis Park by travelling as a group. Have a look at wedding shuttles, concert shuttles and stadium transport for more on how these work.
Tours and longer trips. For day tours – Soweto, the Cradle of Humankind, Sun City and Pilanesberg – or multi-day routes out to the Kruger National Park or down to Durban, a 22 seater hits the sweet spot between a small group vehicle and a full coach, with a driver who can double as a local guide along the way.
Wherever You Are in Gauteng, We Can Get to You
We’re based in Johannesburg and cover Sandton, Randburg, Midrand, Rosebank and the rest of the city as a matter of course. We’re also regularly in Pretoria, Centurion and the East Rand – if minibus hire in Pretoria is specifically what you’re after, that page has more detail on the area. Need to go further? We cover Gauteng as a whole and can arrange long-distance travel anywhere in South Africa – just let us know the route.
What Will It Actually Cost?
Honestly – it depends, and we’d rather give you a real number than a vague “from” price that doesn’t apply to your trip. Distance, hours needed, and whether it’s a single transfer, a full day, or a multi-day tour all affect the rate. What we can tell you upfront is that the driver, fuel for the agreed route, and insurance are all included – no surprise extras added on at the end. Send through your details on the bus hire prices page and you’ll have a quote back quickly, usually within the same working day.
Why Groups Keep Coming Back to Us
We’ve been running 22 seater bus hire across Johannesburg, Pretoria and Gauteng since 2014, and the driver-included model hasn’t changed once – it’s the only way we operate, so there’s nothing to negotiate or get caught out by. Our fleet runs from 7-seaters right up to 22-seaters, so if your numbers change between bookings, we can match the vehicle to the group instead of you paying for more (or squeezing into less) than you need. And for businesses, schools and event organisers who need transport more than once, setting up a recurring arrangement is something we do all the time – it just takes one conversation to get going.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ’s)
Does 22 seater bus hire include a driver?
Yes. Every 22 seater minibus booking includes a professional driver as standard – it’s not an optional extra. We don’t offer this vehicle as a self-drive rental, and the price includes the driver, fuel for the agreed route, and insurance.
How much does 22 seater bus hire cost in Johannesburg?
It depends on the distance, how many hours you need the vehicle and driver for, and whether it’s a single trip, a full-day booking, or a multi-day tour. Airport transfers and short local trips cost less than a weekend away. Send through your route and dates via our quote page for an accurate price.
Can I book a 22 seater minibus for a single trip, like an airport transfer?
Yes. We handle one-off bookings – airport pickups, a single corporate transfer, a day trip – as well as full-day and multi-day hire. There’s no minimum contract for a single trip.
Do you offer 22 seater bus hire in Pretoria and Centurion?
Yes. Alongside Johannesburg, we operate regularly in Pretoria, Centurion, and across the East Rand, and can travel further into Gauteng or nationally for longer trips.
Is there space for luggage, sports kit, or display equipment?
The 22 seater Sprinters have some onboard storage, and for trips that need more – tours, away matches, conferences with display materials – we can add a luggage trailer so it doesn’t take up passenger seats.
Can a 22 seater bus travel outside Gauteng, to places like Kruger or Durban?
Yes. We arrange long-distance and multi-day trips across South Africa, including routes to the Kruger National Park, Sun City and Pilanesberg, and Durban.
How far in advance should I book?
For weekday transfers and corporate transport, a few days’ notice is usually enough. For weekends, school sports fixtures, weddings, or peak season tours, booking a week or two ahead helps secure your preferred date and vehicle.
Can we set up a recurring shuttle arrangement instead of booking each trip separately?
Yes. This is something we arrange often for businesses, schools, and event companies with regular transport needs, and the rates for a recurring arrangement generally work out better than ad hoc bookings.
What’s the difference between the 22 seater and your smaller minibuses?
Our fleet runs from 7 seaters up to 22 seaters. The 22 seater suits larger groups – full sports squads, departments, wedding parties – while smaller vehicles are better for compact groups. We’re happy to recommend the right size based on numbers and luggage.
Is the 22 seater bus insured and properly maintained?
Yes. Every vehicle is insured and kept on a regular service schedule, and drivers are licensed professionals who know the routes they’re driving.
