18 Passenger Minibus

Our 18-passenger minibuses are available in a variety of colors including black, white, silver, grey, blue, red, navy, and yellow. We also offer custom wraps if you want to display your company logo, school mascot, or event branding on the exterior of the bus. This is a great option for corporate clients who want a professional look or organizations participating in parades and public events. If you have a specific color preference, let us know when booking and we’ll do our best to accommodate your request based on current availability.

Standard amenities on our 18-passenger minibuses include plush reclining seats, individual reading lights, and powerful air conditioning to keep passengers comfortable in any weather. Each bus is equipped with a PA system for easy communication, overhead storage racks for small bags, and either a rear luggage compartment or underfloor storage space for larger items. Entertainment options include flat-screen monitors with DVD players, Bluetooth-capable sound systems, and optional WiFi routers for internet access on the go. Additional features like USB charging ports, tinted windows, and custom lighting are available upon request to ensure your group has everything they need for a pleasant journey.

The cost to rent an 18-passenger minibus in Middletown typically 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 exact model, amenities, and length of trip. Your quote will always include gratuity, but please note that tolls, parking passes at venues, and driver hotel accommodations for overnight trips are not included and will be billed separately. Final rates depend on factors like trip duration, total mileage, time of year, and whether the bus needs to return empty after drop-off (deadhead). For the most accurate pricing, call our team with your exact itinerary details—we’re available 24/7 and can provide a custom quote in minutes.

An 18-passenger minibus strikes a balance between capacity and maneuverability, making it larger than a standard van but significantly smaller and more agile than a full-size charter bus. This size is ideal for groups that are too large to fit comfortably in a 15-passenger van but don’t require the seating or luggage space of a 47- or 56-passenger coach. Compared to our larger buses, the 18-passenger minibus is easier to navigate through city streets and tight parking areas, while still offering many of the same comfort features. It’s a versatile option that can handle both short local shuttles and longer regional trips at a more affordable price point than bigger vehicles.

It’s best to book 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 like weddings, concerts, or sporting events. Middletown sees high demand for charter buses in the spring and summer months due to graduation ceremonies, beach outings, and festival season. Last-minute bookings are possible if we have availability, but reserving early gives you the widest selection of vehicles and the best chance of securing your preferred dates and amenities. Once you have your itinerary finalized, contact us right away to lock in your reservation.

An 18-passenger minibus offers moderate luggage capacity, typically allowing each passenger one smaller carry-on bag in overhead compartments or under-seat storage areas. Larger suitcases and equipment cases may be accommodated in a rear luggage area or by utilizing underfloor storage if the vehicle is so equipped, though space is limited compared to full-size charter buses. For trips requiring substantial baggage—such as airport transfers or overnight excursions—it’s important to discuss your needs with our team in advance to ensure there is adequate room for all items. In some cases, a trailer or additional support vehicle may be recommended for excess cargo.
