18 Passenger Party Bus

Standard amenities on our 18-passenger party buses include wraparound leather or vinyl seating, multiple flat-screen TVs, a powerful Bluetooth-compatible sound system with subwoofers, color-changing LED lighting, hardwood or simulated wood flooring, and a bar area with built-in coolers. Additional features include tinted windows, USB charging ports, a PA microphone, and rear luggage storage. Optional upgrades such as a mirrored ceiling, upgraded audio package, or custom branding are available upon request.

The cost to rent an 18-passenger party bus typically ranges from $150 to $300+ per hour on weekdays and $150 to $320+ per hour on weekends, with daily rates falling between $1,000 and $2,200 depending on the length of your trip and specific itinerary. Your quote will include gratuity for the driver but does not cover additional expenses such as parking passes at event venues, tolls incurred during travel, or hotel accommodations for the driver on overnight trips—these must be arranged separately by the customer. Final pricing is determined by several factors including the total number of hours or days required, distance traveled, current demand, and any optional upgrades or special requests. Because availability and exact rates can vary significantly based on location and time of year, we strongly recommend contacting us directly for a personalized quote. Our team is available 24/7 to provide real-time pricing, answer questions about packages and amenities, and help you find the best option for your budget.

The 18-passenger party bus is the perfect mid-size option in our fleet—larger than a traditional limo but smaller and more affordable than a full-size charter bus—making it ideal for medium-sized groups who want both comfort and a high-energy atmosphere. Unlike our standard minibuses or shuttle buses, the party bus features wraparound seating, upgraded sound systems, LED lighting, and a completely open floor plan that’s perfect for dancing and socializing. It’s easier to maneuver and park than a 56-passenger coach, but still offers plenty of space for luggage and personal items. If you don’t need all the bells and whistles, one of our minibuses or sprinter vans might be a better fit—but for weddings, bachelor/bachelorette parties, or any event where the ride is part of the party, this is the way to go.

We recommend booking your 18-passenger party bus at least three to six months in advance to ensure the best selection and availability, especially if your event falls during peak seasons such as wedding season, prom season, or major holiday weekends. In Concord and the greater Bay Area, high demand periods include spring and early summer for proms and graduations, late summer and fall for weddings, and any time there are large concerts or sporting events at local venues like the Concord Pavilion or Chase Center. Last-minute bookings are possible if we have availability, but you may have fewer options and could pay higher rates due to limited supply. Once you know your event date, it’s best to reserve your bus as soon as possible. A deposit is required to secure your reservation, with the balance due prior to the trip.
