18 Passenger Minibus

We offer 18-passenger minibuses in a variety of colors to suit any occasion or preference, including classic options like black, white, silver, and grey, as well as blue, red, navy, and yellow. If you need something specific for branding or event coordination, we can also provide custom wraps or graphics upon request. Our diverse fleet ensures that you’ll get you a color that matches your style, whether you’re organizing a formal corporate shuttle, a wedding party transfer, or a team outing with school colors. Just let us know what you’re looking for when you book, and we’ll make sure your vehicle fits the tone of your event.

Every 18-passenger minibus comes equipped with high-back reclining seats, individual reading lights, powerful front and rear HVAC, overhead parcel racks, and large tinted windows for great visibility. Additional amenities include USB ports or 110V outlets at every row, a free WiFi hotspot, flat-screen monitors with DVD/Blu-ray player, PA system with cordless microphone, wood-look vinyl flooring, LED accent lighting, and under-seat storage trays. Some models offer forward-facing or perimeter seating layouts, an upgraded sound system with Bluetooth/AUX input, folding rear luggage shelf, and custom exterior graphics if needed.

Pricing for an 18-passenger minibus rental in Maple Grove 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 details of your trip. Your quote will always include gratuity, but does not cover parking passes at venues (which you’ll need to purchase separately), tolls, or hotel accommodations for the driver on overnight trips. Keep in mind that these are estimated rates and actual pricing may be significantly higher based on current availability, exact pickup location, duration of the rental, and time of year.

Compared to other vehicles in our fleet, the 18-passenger minibus offers a balance of capacity, comfort, and affordability that makes it ideal for mid-sized groups. It’s significantly larger than a sprinter van or 15-passenger van, providing more headroom, aisle space, and onboard amenities like reclining seats, climate control, and entertainment systems. At the same time, it’s smaller and more maneuverable than a full-size charter bus, allowing easier access to tight locations while still accommodating up to 18 riders comfortably.

This model is often chosen for its versatility—it’s big enough for school teams, wedding parties, or corporate shuttles, yet compact enough for neighborhood pickups and quick turnarounds. If you need something bigger, we offer 24, 30, and 35-passenger minibuses; if you need something smaller, ask about our executive vans and SUVs.

We recommend booking your 18-passenger minibus at least three to six months in advance to ensure the best availability and pricing, especially during peak seasons or around major local events. In Maple Grove, spring and summer are particularly busy due to wedding season, school trips, and outdoor festivals like Maple Grove Days, while fall sees increased demand for sports team transportation and corporate shuttles. If you’re planning travel that coincides with large gatherings—such as concerts at the Town Green, regional sports tournaments, or holiday celebrations—you’ll want to secure your reservation as early as possible.

Last-minute bookings are possible if we have vehicles available, but options may be limited and rates could be higher due to short notice. Once you have your event date set, contact us right away to lock in the bus you need.

Luggage capacity on an 18-passenger minibus depends on the exact model and interior configuration, but you can generally expect enough space for each rider to bring one standard carry-on bag and one personal item. Most units have either rear storage compartments or overhead shelves where passengers can stow backpacks, duffel bags, or small suitcases. If your group is traveling with extra gear—such as coolers, musical instruments, or athletic equipment—let us know in advance so we can assign a bus with additional room or recommend an alternative solution.

For airport transfers, business trips, or day excursions, the available storage is usually sufficient; however, for longer journeys requiring full-size luggage, you may need to reserve a slightly larger vehicle to accommodate everything comfortably.
