18 Passenger Minibus

Our 18-passenger minibuses are available in a variety of exterior colors including black, white, silver, grey, blue, red, navy, and yellow. We also offer custom wraps for branding or special events—perfect for corporate logos, school colors, or wedding graphics. Interior upholstery options include standard cloth, upgraded vinyl, and premium leatherette in multiple shades. If you need a specific color to match your event or organization, let us know—we’ll get you a minibus that fits your style. Custom paint and wrap packages are available upon request.

Standard amenities on our 18-passenger minibuses include high-back reclining seats, front and rear air conditioning, LED ceiling lights, flat-screen monitors, DVD/Blu-ray player, Bluetooth-capable sound system, PA microphone, USB-A/C charging ports at each row, overhead parcel racks, and rear luggage compartment. Optional upgrades include WiFi hotspot, 110V outlets, wood-look vinyl flooring, leatherette upholstery, color-changing LED accent lighting, and custom branding or graphics. Every minibus is equipped with either a forward/rear entry door or wide center door for easy boarding and ADA-compliant wheelchair lift available on select models. Additional options include folding tray tables, beverage coolers, and tinted windows.

An 18-passenger minibus rental typically costs $150–$430+ per hour, $1,520–$3,255 per day, or $4.00–$7.95 per mile, depending on the vehicle, trip length, and time of year. Final pricing depends on factors like mileage, number of days/hours, time of year, pickup location, and any custom upgrades.

The 18-passenger minibus is larger than our 15-passenger vans but smaller and more maneuverable than full-size charter buses, making it ideal for mid-size groups who need something compact yet spacious. Compared to sprinter vans, it offers easier aisle access, better headroom, and more storage—while still fitting into tight downtown streets or winery parking lots. It’s available with many of the same amenities as bigger coaches (WiFi, video screens, PA system) but at a lower price point and with faster boarding times. If you need to move 16–18 people comfortably, this is the most versatile and cost-effective option in the fleet.

We recommend booking your 18-passenger minibus at least 3–6 months in advance to ensure availability and get the best rates—especially if your trip falls during peak season (spring/summer weddings, fall wine harvest, or major events like Lodi Grape Festival). Buses can sell out quickly around holidays, festival weekends, and local school breaks. Last-minute rentals are possible but selection may be limited and prices can increase as vehicles get booked. Once you know your dates and rough itinerary, lock in a reservation with a deposit; final details can be adjusted later.

Our 18-passenger minibus offers flexible storage options that include both interior and exterior compartments. Overhead parcel racks inside the cabin are perfect for backpacks, briefcases, or small carry-on bags, while a spacious rear luggage area can accommodate larger suitcases, duffel bags, or equipment cases. If your group is traveling with additional gear—such as coolers, folding tables, or athletic equipment—some models feature optional exterior storage compartments to handle oversized items. This combination of storage solutions ensures that every passenger can bring a personal bag onboard without cluttering the aisle, and that bulkier luggage stays secure and accessible throughout the trip. Whether you’re heading to the airport, a sporting event, or a weekend retreat, there’s plenty of room for all your belongings.
