Per Hour is $150 – $430+, per day is $1,520 – $3,255, per mile is $4.00 – $7.95
How Does a 18 Passenger Minibus Compare to Our Other Bus Types?
The 18-passenger minibus is a great middle-ground option that offers more capacity and comfort than smaller vans or sprinter-style vehicles, while still being compact and maneuverable enough for city streets, tight parking lots, and short-distance shuttles. Compared to larger minibuses (25– 35 passengers), it’s easier to fill, more affordable to run, and ideal for mid-size groups who want to stay together without upgrading to a full-size coach. It seats up to 18 passengers in forward-facing rows, with a choice of cloth or vinyl upholstery, and includes many of the same amenities as larger models—such as strong A/C, Bluetooth sound system, video monitor, and rear luggage space—but in a smaller, more agile package. This size is perfect for corporate shuttles, airport transfers, wedding parties, and sports teams who need something bigger than a van but don’t require a 40- or 50-seat bus. It’s also one of the most popular and versatile vehicles in our fleet, making it easy to book and available in multiple colors and configurations to suit your trip.
How Far in Advance Should I Book a 18 Passenger Minibus?
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 a busy season or involves a popular destination. Spring and summer are peak times for weddings, graduations, and sports tournaments, while fall sees increased demand from school groups and corporate events. Major events like ACL Fest, SXSW, and UT football games can also impact availability and pricing across the region. If you’re traveling during one of these high-demand periods, it’s best to reserve your minibus as early as possible—some groups book up to a year in advance for large events. Last-minute bookings are possible if we have open vehicles, but your selection may be limited and prices can be higher due to short notice. Once you confirm your trip details and pay the deposit, your reservation is locked in and guaranteed. Final payment is typically due before departure, and we’ll send you a contract with all terms and conditions when you book.
How Much Luggage Can a 18 Passenger Minibus Hold?
Our 18-passenger minibus offers flexible storage options for both carry-on and checked baggage, making it easy to bring along everything your group needs. Each minibus has either a rear luggage compartment, underfloor storage bays, or both, providing space for larger items like suitcases, duffel bags, and equipment cases. Overhead parcel racks inside the cabin are perfect for backpacks, briefcases, and smaller personal items. As a general rule, each passenger can bring one standard carry-on bag plus one larger item stored in the rear or underfloor compartment. This makes it easy to transport luggage for airport transfers, out-of-town trips, and events requiring extra gear.
