18 Passenger Minibus

Our 18-passenger minibuses are available in a wide range of exterior colors to suit any type of event or branding requirement. Standard color options include black, white, silver, grey, blue, red, navy, and yellow, making it easy to coordinate your vehicle with corporate colors, wedding themes, or school spirit. For customers who want something truly unique, we also offer custom wraps that can feature logos, graphics, or full-color designs of your choice. The interior color schemes are equally versatile, with seating and trim available in matching or complementary shades to create a cohesive look inside and out. Whether you need a classic black or white minibus for a formal event or a bold custom color for special branding, we have the perfect option to meet your needs.

Our 18-passenger minibuses come standard with a full suite of amenities designed to keep passengers comfortable, connected, and entertained throughout the journey. Each vehicle features high-back reclining seats with optional leatherette upholstery, powerful front and rear air conditioning, and a premium sound system with Bluetooth and AUX connectivity. Overhead parcel racks provide convenient storage for bags and personal items, while either a rear luggage compartment or roof-mounted cargo box handles larger baggage. Integrated flat-screen monitors, DVD players, and a PA microphone are included for entertainment and announcements, and every row has access to USB charging ports and 110V outlets. Additional upgrades such as onboard Wi-Fi, LED accent lighting, wood-look vinyl flooring, and tinted windows are available to further enhance the travel experience. From comfortable seating to advanced audio-visual options, our minibuses are equipped with everything your group needs for a smooth and enjoyable trip.

The cost to rent an 18-passenger minibus ranges from $150 to $430+ per hour, $1,520 to $3,255 per day, or $4.00 to $7.95 per mile, depending on the specifics of your trip. Factors that affect pricing include the length and duration of your charter, the pickup and drop-off locations, the time of year, and any additional services or amenities requested. For example, trips that require the minibus to travel long distances, navigate heavy traffic, or wait between multiple stops may incur higher fees. Special events, holidays, and peak travel seasons can also influence rates due to increased demand. Optional upgrades such as Wi-Fi, leatherette seating, or custom wraps are available for an additional charge. Your quote will always include the vehicle, driver, fuel, tolls, and standard amenities, with gratuity included but parking and lodging expenses billed separately if applicable.

The 18-passenger minibus is a versatile and compact option that fills the gap between smaller sprinter vans and larger full-size coaches, making it ideal for mid-sized groups who need something easy to maneuver but still spacious. Compared to our 15-passenger and 16-passenger minibuses, the 18-seater offers slightly more capacity without a significant increase in overall vehicle size, so it’s still agile enough for city streets, tight parking lots, and airport curbside zones. This model is perfect for corporate shuttles, wedding parties, sports teams, or airport transfers where you want everyone in one vehicle but don’t need a huge bus. It seats up to 18 passengers comfortably, with either forward-facing or custom seating arrangements, and includes amenities like strong air conditioning, reclining seats, Bluetooth sound system, optional flat-screen monitors, and rear luggage space. If you need something bigger, we also offer 20 to 35-passenger minibuses and full-size charter buses up to 56 seats—but for most mid-size groups, the 18-passenger minibus hits the sweet spot on price, size, and features.

We recommend booking your 18-passenger minibus at least three to six months in advance to ensure availability and secure the best rates, especially if your trip falls during a busy season or coincides with major local events. In Laguna Niguel and the surrounding Orange County area, demand tends to spike around spring break, summer vacation, and the winter holidays, as well as during large gatherings such as graduations, weddings, and corporate conferences. Additionally, regional events like the OC Fair, Dana Point Festival of Whales, and local high school sports championships can impact vehicle availability and pricing. By reserving early, you’ll have a wider selection of vehicles to choose from and can lock in your preferred schedule before inventory becomes limited. Last-minute bookings are possible but may come with higher costs and fewer options, so planning ahead is always the best strategy.

An 18-passenger minibus typically accommodates one carry-on-sized bag per passenger using overhead parcel racks or under-seat storage areas. Many models also feature a rear luggage compartment or roof-mounted cargo box that can hold additional or larger items such as roller bags, duffel bags, or equipment cases. For groups traveling with bulky gear—like sports teams, musicians, or event staff—it’s important to specify your storage needs when booking so we can assign a minibus with adequate space or recommend upgrading to a larger vehicle if necessary. While the minibus offers generous storage for its size, packing efficiently and keeping aisles clear will help ensure a comfortable ride for everyone on board.
