18 Passenger Minibus

Our 18-passenger minibuses come in a variety of colors to suit any occasion or branding requirement. Standard options include black, white, silver, grey, blue, red, navy, and yellow. If you need something unique, we can arrange for a custom wrap with your company logo, wedding colors, or promotional graphics. This flexibility makes it easy to match the bus to your event—whether it’s a formal corporate shuttle, a high-profile sports team transport, or a festive parade entry. Just let us know what you need when booking, and we’ll make sure your vehicle looks the part.

Every 18-passenger minibus comes equipped with high-back reclining seats, dual-zone climate control, overhead storage racks, LED lighting, and a powerful sound system with Bluetooth/AUX input. There are USB charging ports at each row, a PA microphone for announcements, and large tinted windows for natural light. Additional options include hardwood-look flooring, LCD video monitors, Wi-Fi hotspot, and rear luggage compartment. This is a comfortable and functional space designed for group travel of any kind.

The average cost to rent an 18-passenger minibus is $150–$430+ per hour, $1,520–$3,255 per day, or $4.00–$7.95 per mile. Final pricing depends on the total duration of your trip, distance traveled, and whether it’s a one-way or round-trip journey. Peak season rates apply during holidays and major events like spring training or music festivals. Additional charges may include driver lodging for overnight trips, tolls, and parking fees at certain venues. For the most accurate quote, contact us with your exact itinerary.

The 18-passenger minibus bridges the gap between smaller sprinter vans and larger 25–35 seat mid-size coaches. It offers significantly more headroom, aisle width, and luggage space than a 14-seat van, while remaining easier to maneuver and park than a full-size 56-passenger charter bus. This model is ideal for groups that have outgrown a standard van but don’t require the capacity or expense of a large coach. It’s a versatile option suitable for short urban routes or longer regional trips, offering many of the same amenities as larger buses in a more compact package.

We recommend booking your 18-passenger minibus at least 3–6 months in advance, especially if your trip falls during peak times like spring break, summer vacation, or major sporting events. Availability can be limited during these periods, and reserving early gives you the best selection of vehicles and pricing. Last-minute bookings are possible if we have open inventory, but popular dates often sell out quickly. Once you know your schedule, securing a bus early ensures everything goes smoothly on the day of your event.

This bus can accommodate one carry-on bag per person in the overhead racks, plus additional suitcases or equipment cases in the rear cargo area or under-seat space. If your group is traveling light, there’s ample room for backpacks, briefcases, or instrument cases. For trips requiring more storage—such as airport runs or athletic team transport—we recommend consolidating larger items or requesting a separate luggage trailer. Exact capacity depends on the size and shape of each bag, but the layout is flexible enough to handle most typical loads for a group this size.
