18 Passenger Party Bus

Our 18-passenger party buses come standard with wraparound leather seating, powerful sound systems with Bluetooth/AUX inputs, flat-screen TVs, and full LED color-changing interior lighting. They also include automatic climate control, tinted windows for privacy, and built-in coolers or bar areas with cupholders. You'll get everything you need to keep your group comfortable, entertained, and ready to celebrate between stops-all included in the base package.

An 18-passenger party bus rental in San Mateo costs $150 to $300+ per hour on weekdays and $150 to $320+ per hour on weekends, with full-day packages averaging $1,000 to $2,200. The final price depends on trip length, mileage, and location specifics-for example, a local trip to a venue like Vin Vino Wine Shop will cost less than a full-day tour up Highway 101 to Napa Valley. Prices may be higher during peak season or if demand is high, so we recommend calling for real-time quotes based on your exact itinerary.

The 18-passenger party bus hits the sweet spot between size, comfort, and cost for groups too large for a sprinter van but smaller than a full charter bus. Unlike a standard minibus, it comes loaded with premium entertainment features like wraparound seating, LED lighting, and upgraded sound systems-making it perfect for social events and nightlife. While it doesn't have an onboard restroom like some larger motorcoaches, it's nimble enough for urban environments and still offers plenty of space for small coolers or overnight bags. If you need something bigger or smaller, we also offer everything from sprinter vans to 56-seat coaches with similar amenities.

We recommend booking your 18-passenger party bus at least three to six months in advance to ensure availability and lock in the best rate, especially if your trip falls during peak season or coincides with a major local event in San Mateo or the Bay Area, like a festival at the San Mateo County Event Center (1346 Saratoga Dr, San Mateo, CA 94403). Demand for party buses increases significantly during weekends in spring and summer, and prices will be higher if you wait until the last minute. Booking early guarantees you get the exact vehicle you want on your chosen date and gives you time to finalize all your plans without worrying about sold-out inventory. We can accommodate last-minute requests if we have availability, but advance reservations are always recommended to avoid disappointment.
