18 Passenger Minibus

Our fleet includes 18-passenger minibuses in a variety of colors to match the style and branding of your event. Standard options include black, white, silver, grey, blue, red, navy, and yellow. We also offer custom wraps for corporate branding, wedding parties, or special events—just ask our team about available options. Whether you want something classic and understated or bold and eye-catching, we have a color that will fit your needs. If you have a specific request, let us know and we’ll do our best to accommodate it.

Every 18-passenger minibus comes standard with a full suite of amenities designed to make your ride comfortable and enjoyable. Features include high-back reclining seats upholstered in durable fabric or vinyl, individual reading lights, and overhead parcel racks for personal belongings. The audio-visual system includes a PA microphone, AM/FM radio, CD/DVD player, and multiple flat-screen monitors mounted throughout the cabin. Additional comforts include cup holders, USB charging ports, and large tinted windows that provide natural light while reducing glare. The interior is finished with easy-to-clean surfaces and LED accent lighting for a modern look.

Renting an 18-passenger minibus typically costs between $150 and $430+ per hour, $1,520 to $3,255 per day, or $4.00 to $7.95 per mile. The final price depends on several factors including the total duration of the rental, distance traveled, and whether the trip requires overnight stays. Additional expenses such as parking passes at venues, tolls, and hotel accommodations for the driver on multi-day trips are not included in the base rate and must be covered by the renter. Gratuity is included in your quote, but other incidental costs are billed separately. Since prices can vary significantly based on availability and location, it’s best to get a personalized quote by contacting our team directly or using the online tool for the most accurate estimate.

The 18-passenger minibus offers a versatile middle ground between smaller sprinter vans and larger charter buses in our fleet. It provides significantly more seating and comfort features than a 15-passenger van, making it better suited for longer trips or groups carrying additional luggage. Compared to a 25- or 30-passenger minibus, the 18-seater is easier to maneuver through tight city streets and requires less space for parking, which is ideal for urban pickups and drop-offs. While it doesn’t have the full-size restroom or underfloor storage of a 56-passenger coach, it still includes essential amenities like reclining seats, air conditioning, and entertainment systems. This makes it an excellent choice for mid-sized groups who need something larger than a van but more economical and nimble than a full-size bus.

It’s best to book your 18-passenger minibus at least 3 to 6 months in advance to ensure availability and secure the best rates, especially if your trip coincides with peak travel seasons or major local events. In Marysville, demand tends to spike around popular times such as summer festival season, holiday weekends, and during large gatherings at venues like the Marysville Opera House or sporting events at nearby stadiums. Spring and early summer are particularly busy due to graduations and wedding season, while fall can see increased bookings for school-related activities and corporate functions. If your itinerary falls during these high-demand periods or involves multiple days out of town, reserving well ahead of time will give you the widest selection of vehicles and help avoid last-minute price increases. For trips planned on shorter notice, we can still accommodate requests based on current fleet availability, but options may be more limited.

The luggage capacity of an 18-passenger minibus is designed to accommodate the needs of a mid-sized group, typically allowing each passenger one smaller carry-on bag in overhead compartments inside the cabin. For larger items such as suitcases, duffel bags, or equipment cases, there is additional storage space available either in a rear luggage area or under-seat storage depending on the specific model of the bus. While it won’t match the extensive underfloor bays of a full-size charter bus, the combined overhead and rear storage areas are sufficient for most day trips or overnight excursions. If your group is traveling with unusually large or numerous pieces of luggage—such as musical instruments, sports gear, or trade show displays—please inform our team in advance so we can ensure the selected vehicle meets your requirements. In some cases, arranging for a separate trailer or additional vehicle may be necessary to handle excess baggage.
