18 Passenger Minibus

Our 18-passenger minibuses come in a variety of colors to suit any occasion or personal preference, including black, white, silver, grey, blue, red, navy, and yellow. We also offer custom wraps for events that require specific branding or unique visual presentation. Whether you need a classic white bus for a wedding, a sleek black or navy vehicle for a corporate function, or something more vibrant for a casual group outing, we can accommodate your request. If you have a particular color preference, please mention it when booking so we can match you with the best available option.

Standard amenities on our 18-passenger minibuses include cushioned reclining seats with armrests and headrests, individual LED reading lights, USB charging ports, overhead parcel racks, flat-screen monitors, a central PA system, and onboard WiFi. Climate control is handled by a roof-mounted HVAC unit with adjustable vents at each row. Additional features include tinted windows for privacy, wood-look vinyl flooring, and a rear luggage compartment capable of holding several large suitcases. If you have specific amenity requests, let your reservation specialist know—we’ll match you with the perfect bus!

The cost to rent an 18-passenger minibus in Moorhead typically ranges from $150 to $430+ per hour, $1,520 to $3,255 per day, or $4.00 to $7.95 per mile. Exact pricing depends on factors like the length of your trip, time of year, pickup location, and specific vehicle selected. Your quote will include standard gratuity but does not cover parking passes at venues (which you’ll need to purchase separately), tolls, or the driver’s hotel room on overnight trips. For the most accurate rates, call our team with your itinerary details. We’ll provide a personalized quote in minutes and help you find the right bus at the best price.

The 18-passenger minibus is one of the most versatile vehicles in our fleet, offering a perfect balance between seating capacity, comfort, and affordability. It’s larger than a sprinter van but smaller than a full-size charter bus, making it ideal for mid-sized groups who want to stay together without splitting into multiple vehicles. Compared to our 15-passenger sprinter vans, the 18-passenger minibus offers more headroom, wider aisles, and additional amenities like overhead storage and video monitors. It’s easier to maneuver and park than a 25- or 30-passenger bus, which is useful for events in downtown Moorhead or tight venues like local churches and schools. If you’re not sure what size vehicle you need, our team can walk you through the options and help you choose the best one for your trip.

You should book your 18-passenger minibus at least three to six months in advance—especially if your trip falls during peak season, on a holiday weekend, or overlaps with major regional events like university graduations, marathon races, or summer festival schedules. Demand spikes in spring and fall due to overlapping wedding dates, school athletics, and corporate conference calendars; winter holidays and large sporting events can also limit availability. Last-minute reservations are possible but may face limited vehicle selection and higher pricing. Securing your minibus early ensures the best choice of amenities, color preferences, and departure times while locking in current rates before they increase as inventory fills.

An 18-passenger minibus typically accommodates one standard carry-on bag per person in the main cabin, with additional space for 6–8 full-size suitcases in a rear luggage compartment or underfloor storage bay. Overhead racks handle backpacks, briefcases, or duffel bags, while larger items like coolers, instrument cases, or athletic gear bags fit behind the last row or in dedicated exterior compartments. For trips requiring extra cargo—such as airport transfers with checked baggage or team equipment—stacking options allow for 10–12 roller bags if passengers share space efficiently. If your group has unusually large or numerous items (e.g., ski equipment, PA systems), please specify this when booking so we can confirm the bus meets your storage needs or arrange a trailer if necessary.
