18 Passenger Minibus

We offer 18-passenger minibuses in a variety of standard colors—including black, white, silver, gray, blue, red, navy, and even yellow—to suit any type of event or branding need. If you require something more customized, we can arrange a full or partial vehicle wrap with your logo, school colors, or other graphics. Just let us know what you’re looking for when you request a quote, and we’ll match you with a minibus that fits your style.

Every 18-passenger minibus comes equipped with forward-facing cloth or vinyl seats, powerful front/rear air conditioning, overhead parcel racks, and either rear luggage space or exterior storage compartments for baggage. Entertainment options include flat-screen monitors, DVD player, Bluetooth-enabled sound system, and PA microphone for announcements or group sing-alongs. Stay connected with onboard WiFi, USB charging ports at each row, and optional 110V outlets for laptops or other devices. Additional amenities can include wood-look flooring, LED accent lighting, tinted windows, and custom branding or signage upon request. If you need something specific—like leather upholstery, folding tray tables, or a beverage cooler—just ask when you book. We’ll make sure your minibus has exactly what you need for a comfortable, hassle-free trip.

Our 18-passenger minibus is a popular choice for small- group transportation because it offers many of the same amenities as larger vehicles while remaining easy to maneuver and budget-friendly. Compared to a full-size charter bus—which can seat up to 56 passengers—a minibus is more compact, making it ideal for navigating city streets, tight parking lots, and short-distance shuttle routes. While it doesn’t have onboard restrooms or as much luggage space as a larger coach, it still provides comfortable, forward-facing seats, strong air conditioning, and optional entertainment features like WiFi and video monitors. This minibus is well-suited for corporate shuttles, airport transfers, wedding parties, and sports teams traveling to local games. If you need something smaller, we also offer sprinter vans; if you need more capacity, our larger minibuses can accommodate up to 35 passengers. No matter which option you choose, you’ll get a modern vehicle backed by 24/7 support from our experienced team.

We recommend booking your 18-passenger minibus at least three to six months in advance to ensure availability—especially if your trip falls during a busy season or coincides with major local events. In La Mirada, demand tends to spike around school graduations, holiday performances at the La Mirada Theatre, and regional sporting events, which can make it harder to secure a vehicle on short notice. If you’re planning travel during the spring or summer—when weddings, festivals, and family vacations are common—it’s best to reserve your minibus as early as possible. That said, we understand that not every trip can be planned months ahead of time. If you need a minibus on short notice, give us a call and we’ll do our best to accommodate your request. Just keep in mind that last-minute bookings may have limited vehicle options and could be subject to higher rates due to increased demand.

An 18-passenger minibus can comfortably accommodate one carry-on-sized bag per passenger using the overhead parcel racks inside the cabin. Larger items such as roller bags, duffel bags, or equipment cases can be stored in the rear cargo area or in an exterior luggage compartment if the minibus is equipped with one. If your group is traveling with extra baggage—such as coolers, folding tables, or sports gear—please mention this when booking so we can assign a vehicle with sufficient storage space or make alternative arrangements. While the minibus offers ample room for typical travel essentials, storage space is more limited compared to a full-size charter bus, so packing efficiently is recommended.
