18 Passenger Minibus

Exterior color options include Black, White, Silver, Grey, Blue, Red, Navy, and Yellow. We can also arrange custom vinyl wraps or partial wraps for corporate branding, school colors, or special event graphics. Interior finishes range from durable cloth upholstery to easy-clean vinyl or upgraded leatherette seating, with color choices that complement the exterior and give the cabin a professional, cohesive look. If you need something specific—like matching your company’s branding, wrapping the bus in a team logo, or getting a particular color combination inside—we can make it happen. Just let us know what you’re looking for, and we’ll find the perfect minibus to fit your style and budget.

Every 18-passenger minibus comes standard with high-back, forward-facing seats that recline and have either cloth or leatherette upholstery. There’s powerful front and rear air conditioning, overhead parcel racks for backpacks or small bags, and either a rear luggage area or exterior storage compartment for larger items. Entertainment options include a flat-screen monitor at the front of the cabin, a DVD player, Bluetooth audio, and a PA microphone for announcements. Most models have USB charging ports at every row, upgraded LED lighting, and easy-access entry steps with a sturdy handrail. Optional upgrades include Wi-Fi, additional video screens, and custom seat layouts if you need more aisle space or room for equipment.

Per Hour is $150 – $430+, per day is $1,520 – $3,255, per mile is $4.00 – $7.95

The 18-passenger minibus hits the sweet spot between capacity, maneuverability, and cost—making it one of the most versatile vehicles in our fleet. Compared to a full-size charter bus (which seats 40–56), the minibus is easier to drive on city streets, fits into tighter parking lots, and is perfect for short- to mid-range trips where you don’t need maximum seating. It’s significantly more comfortable and spacious than a 15-passenger van, with better headroom, aisle space, and storage options. Unlike smaller sprinter vans or shuttle buses, the minibus offers upgraded amenities like reclining seats, powerful HVAC, and optional entertainment systems. If you’re moving a group that’s too big for a van but doesn’t need a 50-seat coach, the 18-passenger minibus is the perfect middle ground—it’s affordable, comfortable, and built for exactly this kind of trip.

We recommend booking your 18-passenger minibus at least 3 to 6 months in advance—especially if your trip falls during a busy season or overlaps with major local events. Spring and summer tend to fill up quickly due to weddings, graduations, and sports tournaments, while fall sees increased demand from school and corporate clients. If you’re traveling over a holiday weekend, coordinating multiple vehicles, or need something specific—like a minibus with extra luggage space or a particular color—locking in your reservation early gives you the best selection and pricing. That said, we understand that not every trip can be planned months ahead of time. If you need a minibus on short notice, give us a call anyway—we’ll do everything we can to find you a great vehicle at a fair price, even if it’s last minute. Buses are in high demand right now, so the earlier you can reserve, the better—but we’ll always try to help, no matter the timeline.

An 18-passenger minibus typically holds one carry-on-sized bag per person in the main cabin, plus either a rear luggage area or an exterior storage compartment for larger items. Overhead parcel racks run along both sides of the aisle and are perfect for backpacks, briefcases, or small duffel bags. Larger suitcases and equipment cases can be stored in the rear cargo area behind the last row of seats—there’s room back there for four to six roller bags or something bulky like a folding table or coolers. If your group is traveling with extra baggage—like sports gear, musical instruments, or presentation materials—just let us know when you book. We can either reserve a minibus with additional storage space or arrange for a trailer hitch and tow-behind cargo box. The key is to give us an accurate headcount and a rough idea of how much stuff everyone is bringing. That way, we can match you with a vehicle that fits both your passengers and your luggage comfortably. Nobody wants to ride three hours with a suitcase in their lap—and if you need more storage, we’ll make sure you get it.
