18 Passenger Minibus

We offer 18-passenger minibuses in a wide range of colors to suit any event or personal preference. Standard options include black, white, silver, gray, blue, red, and navy. For something more unique, we also have yellow and other specialty colors available. If you need specific branding or want the vehicle to match a particular theme, custom wraps are available upon request. This flexibility makes it easy to get you a minibus that fits perfectly with your wedding, corporate event, or private gathering.

Every 18-passenger minibus comes standard with high-back reclining seats upholstered in either cloth or vinyl, individual LED reading lights, USB charging ports at each row, a Bluetooth-capable sound system with PA microphone, overhead luggage racks, and full climate control (A/C and heat). Additional features include tinted windows for privacy, hardwood-style flooring, and WiFi upon request. These amenities ensure that passengers stay comfortable and connected throughout the journey, making this vehicle suitable for everything from corporate events to wedding shuttles.

The cost to rent an 18-passenger minibus in Mount Vernon typically ranges from $150 to $430+ per hour, $1,520 to $3,255 per day, or $4.00 to $7.95 per mile. Final pricing depends on several factors including the length of your trip, time of year, exact pickup location, and current vehicle availability. Busy seasons like spring weddings or fall sports will see higher rates, while off-peak times may be less expensive. Your quote will always include gratuity but does not cover parking fees at venues, tolls, or driver lodging on overnight trips—those are additional. The fastest way to get exact pricing is to call our team with your full itinerary; we’ll give you a custom quote in minutes that fits your specific needs and budget.

The 18-passenger minibus is one of the most versatile vehicles in our fleet, sitting comfortably between smaller sprinter vans and larger 25– 35 passenger minibuses. Compared to a 15-passenger van, this minibus offers significantly more headroom, aisle space, and onboard amenities like overhead storage and PA systems—features you won’t find in standard vans. It’s easier to maneuver and park than a full-size coach bus, making it ideal for trips into downtown areas or events with limited parking. While larger minibuses and coach buses provide more seating and underfloor luggage bays, the 18-passenger model is perfect for shorter trips, tight budgets, or groups that simply don’t need a bigger vehicle. You still get all the comfort and professionalism of a larger bus, but in a more compact and cost-effective package.

To guarantee the best selection and pricing, we recommend booking your 18-passenger minibus at least three to six months in advance—especially if your trip falls during peak season or coincides with major local events. Spring and summer dates fill up quickly due to wedding season, school graduations, and corporate outings, while fall weekends are busy with sports schedules and holiday preparations. If you’re planning travel around high-demand times like New York Fashion Week, the NYC Marathon, or regional college commencements, securing your reservation six months ahead is wise. Last-minute bookings are possible if we have availability, but you’ll have more options and likely get a better rate by reserving early. As soon as you know your event date and rough headcount, it’s smart to lock in the vehicle—we can always adjust details later if needed.

An 18-passenger minibus has limited luggage capacity compared to larger buses, but it can still accommodate the essentials for most short trips. There are overhead storage racks inside the cabin suitable for backpacks, tote bags, or briefcases—typically allowing each passenger one smaller carry-on bag. Additional space at the rear of the bus can fit larger items like duffel bags, small suitcases, or equipment cases. For airport transfers or overnight trips where everyone has full-size luggage, storage will be tight; you may need to limit each person to one carry-on and one medium checked bag, stacked carefully in the rear cargo area. If your group is bringing coolers, folding chairs, or athletic gear, it’s a good idea to mention this when booking so we can confirm everything will fit. For groups with heavy luggage needs, upgrading to a larger minibus with dedicated rear storage or an exterior luggage compartment may be necessary.
