18 Passenger Minibus

Our 18-passenger minibuses come in a variety of exterior colors to suit any occasion or personal preference, including black, white, silver, grey, blue, red, navy, and yellow. For corporate branding or special events, we also offer custom wraps that can feature your company logo, team mascot, wedding monogram, or promotional graphics. Whether you want a classic neutral tone for professional use or something bold and eye-catching for a parade or festival, we have options available. Full-color vinyl wraps are available for an additional fee if you want to display corporate logos or event branding on the exterior.

Standard features include high-back cloth seats, strong air conditioning, LED lighting, and a quality sound system. Many models add USB ports, PA mic, Bluetooth audio, and extra luggage space. Options include Wi-Fi, video screens, and upgraded interiors.

The cost to rent an 18-passenger minibus in Manassas 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 length of your trip, time of year, and pickup location. Pricing is always subject to change based on real-time availability, current demand, and specific trip details. Your quote will include gratuity for the driver but does not cover parking passes at venues (which you’ll need to purchase separately), tolls incurred during the trip, or hotel accommodations for the driver on overnight trips.

An 18-passenger minibus fills the gap between smaller sprinter vans and larger 25- to 35-passenger buses. It offers significantly more seating and storage than a 14-seat van while remaining easier to maneuver and park than a full-size coach. Compared to larger minibuses, the 18-footer is more affordable, faster to load/unload, and better suited for short-to-medium distance trips where maximum capacity isn’t required. It’s ideal for groups that are too big for a single van but don’t need the expense or bulk of a 30+ passenger vehicle. In terms of ride quality and amenities, it delivers the same comfort features found in bigger models, just in a more compact package.

We recommend booking your 18-passenger minibus at least three to six months in advance, especially if your trip falls during peak season (spring and fall for weddings, graduations, and school events) or coincides with major events like Washington Commanders games, D.C. festivals, or university move-in weekends. Availability can become limited quickly when multiple large groups are traveling at the same time. Last-minute bookings are possible if we have open inventory, but securing your reservation early ensures you get the exact vehicle and amenities you want at the best possible rate. Once you have your dates and headcount finalized, call us right away to lock in your bus.

Luggage capacity on an 18-passenger minibus varies by model, but generally each person can bring one carry-on plus one small checked bag. There are overhead racks for backpacks and totes, while the rear holds larger suitcases or coolers. For trips requiring extra storage—such as band equipment, tailgating supplies, or multiple days’ worth of luggage—please discuss your needs with our team so we can assign a bus with sufficient space or arrange for an additional support vehicle if necessary.
