18 Passenger Minibus

We offer 18-passenger minibuses in a variety of standard and custom colors to suit any occasion or branding requirement. Popular choices include black, white, silver, gray, blue, red, navy, and yellow. If you need something unique, we can arrange for a custom wrap with your organization’s logo, wedding colors, or promotional graphics. Just let us know what you’re looking for, and we’ll get you a bus that matches your vision. Multiple color options make it easy to coordinate with formal events, corporate branding, or school spirit themes.

Standard amenities on our 18-passenger minibuses include high-back reclining seats with armrests, front and rear air conditioning, LED interior lighting, overhead parcel racks for small bags, and a PA system or wireless microphone for announcements. Most models also feature tinted windows for privacy, a Bluetooth-capable sound system, and either vinyl or carpeted flooring depending on the exact build. Additional options such as Wi-Fi, 110V outlets, USB charging ports, flat-screen monitors, and upgraded upholstery packages are available upon request. The cabin layout is typically forward-facing, but some configurations allow for perimeter seating or extra storage space.

Rental prices for an 18-passenger minibus typically range from $150–$430+ per hour, $1,520–$3,255 per day, or $4.00–$7.95 per mile depending on several key factors. The total cost is influenced by the duration of the rental (hourly, daily, or multi-day), the distance traveled, and whether the trip requires out-of-town or overnight service. Seasonal demand plays a significant role; rates are often higher during peak times such as spring break, major sporting events, or festival weekends. Additional costs may include tolls, parking fees at venues, and hotel accommodations for the driver on overnight trips—these are not included in the base quote. The exact location of the pickup and drop-off also affects pricing, especially if the bus must deadhead from another city. To get the most accurate and competitive rate, it’s important to provide a detailed itinerary when requesting a quote.

An 18-passenger minibus is larger than our 15-passenger models but smaller and more maneuverable than the 20- or 25-passenger options, making it a great mid-size choice for groups who want something compact yet comfortable. Compared to full-size motorcoaches, it’s easier to park, quicker to load, and better suited for short trips or routes with frequent stops. However, it offers fewer amenities and less luggage space than larger buses. If you need more seating, consider stepping up to a 20- or 25-passenger minibus. If you need something even smaller, a sprinter van may be a better fit.

We recommend booking your 18-passenger minibus at least 3–6 months in advance, especially if your trip falls during a busy season or coincides with a major local event. In Mansfield, demand tends to spike around spring break, summer vacation, and during large gatherings at venues like Hawaiian Falls or Big League Dreams Sports Park. The earlier you reserve, the more options you’ll have in terms of vehicle color, amenities, and exact pick-up times. Last-minute bookings are possible but may be subject to limited availability and higher rates. Securing your reservation well ahead of time ensures you get the best selection and pricing.

An 18-passenger minibus is designed primarily for short- to medium-distance trips and has limited dedicated luggage space. Most models feature overhead parcel racks inside the cabin, typically allowing each passenger one smaller carry-on bag in overhead compartments or under their seat. If your group is traveling with larger items such as checked suitcases or equipment cases, storage options will be more restricted compared to larger coaches. Some versions do include a modest rear luggage area or exterior-mounted storage boxes, but capacity is generally best suited for light personal belongings rather than full-sized luggage sets. For trips requiring substantial baggage, additional arrangements or a larger vehicle may be necessary.
