Short answer

Book a 45-seater coach, from $100 per transfer in Singapore.

Why that size suits 30 people

We do not operate a 30 seater, so the honest answer is that 30 people go on a 45 seater. That sounds oversized until you price the alternative: two 23-seaters cost $170 against $100 for one coach, and split the group across two vehicles. The spare seats are cheaper than the second bus.

What to check before you book a bus for 30 people

Group bookings go wrong for the same three reasons every time: the headcount was never confirmed, the price left something out, or nobody knew who was driving. Here is how SGBUS.sg handles each, and what to ask of any quote you are holding.

Paying for 45 seats when only 30 are needed feels wasteful: What we doIt is the cheaper option, not the dearer one. Two 23 seaters cost $170 against $100 for one 45 seater, so the spare seats save you $70 and keep the group on one vehicle.; Ask this of any quoteIf a 30 seater is being quoted, does that vehicle exist in the fleet, or is it two smaller buses billed as one job?
The headcount moves and the bus is suddenly one seat short: What we doA 45 seater carries 30 with fifteen spare, so the number can move a long way before anything changes. You would need to pass 45 before a second vehicle enters the conversation.; Ask this of any quoteIf two more people join the week before, what happens to the booking and does the price change?
The quote looks fine until the invoice arrives: What we doDriver, fuel, ERP and parking are inside the figure. Waiting, extra stops, midnight running and public holidays are the only additions, and all four are published on the rates page.; Ask this of any quoteDoes the number include fuel, ERP, parking and waiting, and what triggers anything on top of it?

Where to find the full 45-seater coach specification

Specification, luggage capacity and rates for the 45-seater coach are on its own page: 45-seater coach. Prices for every size sit on the rates page.

Count everyone before you book, including organisers

Include organisers, teachers, chaperones and crew, not just the guest list. Those are the people most often left off, and they are the usual reason a booking ends up one seat short.

Bus rental for other group sizes

Each of these answers the same question for a different headcount, with the vehicle and the price for that number. The rest of our bus rental guides go deeper on sizing, pricing and planning a group trip.

Up to 45 passengers still fit the 45 seater, but on an airport run where everyone checks a large case you are buying hold space rather than seats. There the 49 seater is the better vehicle, from $110.
