18 Passenger Minibus

Our 18-passenger minibus rentals are available in a wide range of exterior colors to match any type of event or group branding. Standard color options include black, white, silver, gray, blue, red, navy, and yellow. If you need something special, we can also provide custom wraps with your logo, school colors, or event graphics—perfect for corporate branding, sports teams, or themed events. Just let us know what you need when you request a quote, and we’ll make sure you get a minibus that looks exactly the way you want it. Interior color options include dark charcoal, tan, or light gray upholstery with matching trim.

Every 18-passenger minibus in our fleet comes standard with forward-facing, high-back seats upholstered in durable cloth or optional leatherette/vinyl, front and rear HVAC for consistent climate control, and either a Bluetooth-enabled PA microphone or integrated intercom system for announcements. Overhead parcel racks run the full length of the cabin, and there’s a rear luggage compartment behind the last row for larger bags. The front bulkhead includes a 22” flat-screen monitor with HDMI/DVD input, and there are 110V/USB outlets in every seating row. Additional options include onboard WiFi, wood-look vinyl flooring, color-selectable LED accent lighting, and custom headrest covers or seat branding. Exterior colors include black, white, silver, gray, blue, red, navy, and yellow, with custom wraps available.

Your quote includes the vehicle, driver, fuel, and a standard gratuity, but does not cover parking passes at venues (which you purchase separately), tolls, or a hotel room for the driver on overnight trips.

The 18-passenger minibus is one of the most versatile and popular vehicles in our fleet—larger than a standard van or sprinter, but smaller and more maneuverable than a full-size charter bus. It’s ideal for medium-sized groups who need something compact, easy to park, and budget-friendly, while still offering plenty of seating and storage. If you need something bigger, we also offer 20-, 25-, 30-, and 35-seat minibuses, as well as full-size 56-passenger motorcoaches with restrooms, reclining seats, and multiple video screens. Smaller groups can opt for a 15-passenger minibus or a sprinter-style van with 10–14 seats. No matter what size or type of vehicle you need, we have one of the most diverse and modern fleets in the industry—so you’ll always get a bus that fits your group and your budget.

We recommend booking your 18-passenger minibus at least three to six months in advance to ensure availability and get the best rates—especially if your trip falls during a busy travel period or coincides with a major event. In the Chicago area, spring and summer are peak seasons for weddings, graduations, and corporate outings, while fall brings increased demand from school sports teams and fans traveling to Bears, Bulls, and Blackhawks games. Large conventions and festivals downtown can also tighten supply. If you’re traveling over a holiday weekend, during spring break, or around a big game or concert, it’s smart to reserve your bus even earlier. Last-minute bookings are possible but may be subject to limited vehicle selection and higher prices. Once you have your dates and headcount, contact us right away to lock in your reservation.

Our 18-passenger minibuses are designed to handle both passengers and their luggage efficiently, making them ideal for airport transfers, corporate travel, and group trips requiring extra storage space. Each minibus features a rear luggage compartment capable of holding approximately 8-10 standard carry-on or roller bags, depending on their size. Additionally, overhead parcel racks inside the cabin provide convenient storage for smaller items such as backpacks, briefcases, or personal items, ensuring the aisle remains clear and accessible. This configuration allows most groups to comfortably bring one medium-sized suitcase plus a personal item per passenger without sacrificing legroom or comfort. If your group has additional baggage needs—such as equipment cases, oversized items, or multiple bags per person—please mention this when requesting your quote so we can recommend the best vehicle option or arrange for additional storage solutions.
