18 Passenger Minibus

We offer 18-passenger minibuses in a wide range of colors to suit any preference or event style, including black, white, silver, grey, blue, red, navy, and yellow. If you need something truly unique, we also provide custom wrap options that allow you to display company logos, wedding graphics, or other personalized designs along the entire exterior of the bus. This is an excellent choice for corporate branding, sports teams, or special occasions that require a cohesive look.

The color options ensure that your vehicle will match the tone and formality of your event—whether it’s a sleek black shuttle for executive transport or a brightly colored bus for a youth outing. If you have specific requirements, please let us know at the time of booking so we can accommodate your request.

Our 18-passenger minibuses come equipped with a full suite of standard amenities designed to keep passengers comfortable and entertained for the duration of their trip. Each bus features high-back reclining seats upholstered in either cloth or vinyl, dual-zone air conditioning and heating systems, and LED lighting throughout the cabin. Overhead parcel racks provide convenient storage for backpacks, purses, and small carry-on items, while rear luggage compartments can accommodate larger bags and equipment cases.

For entertainment, the bus includes multiple flat-screen monitors connected to a DVD player, as well as an AM/FM radio and PA system for announcements. Additional amenities such as WiFi, power outlets, and USB charging ports are available upon request. Tinted windows offer privacy and help block out the Arizona sun, making the ride more enjoyable for everyone on board. If you require specific features like upgraded audio systems or custom branding, please let us know when booking and we will do our best to accommodate your needs.

The cost to rent an 18-passenger minibus in Marana typically ranges from $150 to $430+ per hour, $1,520 to $3,255 per day, or $4.00 to $7.95 per mile. Several factors can influence the final price, including the total duration of the rental, the distance traveled, and the time of year. During peak seasons such as spring break, graduation weekends, or major sporting events, rates may be higher due to increased demand. Additional costs may apply for trips that require overnight stays, multiple pick-up locations, or special amenities such as Wi-Fi and entertainment systems. For the most accurate and up-to-date pricing, contact our team directly with your trip details, and we will provide you with a customized quote tailored to your specific needs.

The 18-passenger minibus strikes a balance between capacity and maneuverability, making it larger than our 15-passenger models but smaller and more agile than 20-, 23-, or 25-passenger buses. Compared to larger options, it’s easier to navigate through tight spaces and requires less space for parking, while still providing ample seating and storage for mid-sized groups. Unlike sprinter vans or smaller shuttles, this bus offers stand-up headroom, wider aisles, and additional luggage space, making it more comfortable for longer trips. While it doesn’t have the full restroom facilities or extensive underfloor storage of a 47-passenger charter bus, it does include many of the same comfort features such as reclining seats, climate control, and entertainment systems. This makes it an ideal choice for groups who need something bigger than a van but don’t require a full-size coach.

We recommend booking your 18-passenger minibus at least 3 to 6 months in advance to ensure availability and secure the best rates, especially during peak seasons or around major events in the Marana and Tucson area. High-demand periods such as University of Arizona graduation weekends, Tucson Gem Show dates, and spring break can significantly impact fleet availability and pricing. Last-minute bookings are possible, but options may be limited and prices higher. By reserving early, you’ll have access to the full selection of vehicles and the flexibility to choose specific amenities or colors. If your plans are less than three months out, contact us as soon as possible—we’ll do everything we can to accommodate your group’s needs.

An 18-passenger minibus typically offers limited luggage capacity compared to larger coaches, with space for approximately one small carry-on item per person in the overhead compartments and additional room for 5-10 medium-sized suitcases in the rear storage area. If your group is traveling with more than one bag each or carrying bulky items such as sports equipment, musical instruments, or trade show displays, you may need to reserve additional storage space or upgrade to a larger vehicle. It’s important to discuss your specific luggage requirements with our team when booking so we can ensure there is adequate room for all belongings. For trips involving airports or extended travel, consider how much baggage each passenger will bring and plan accordingly.
