For the most accurate and up-to-date pricing, call us directly with your trip details. We offer competitive rates and custom packages to fit any budget.
How Does a 18 Passenger Party Bus Compare to Our Other Bus Types?
The 18-passenger party bus is smaller than a full-size charter bus but larger than most standard minibuses, making it perfect for mid-sized groups who want both comfort and entertainment. Unlike traditional charter buses, this model prioritizes social seating and onboard amenities designed for celebration. It offers more headroom and standing space than a minibus, with better sound and lighting equipment. If you need something larger, we also offer full-size party buses with similar amenities. Smaller groups may prefer our executive sprinter vans or mini coaches.
How Far in Advance Should I Book a 18 Passenger Party Bus?
We recommend booking your 18-passenger party bus at least 3 to 6 months in advance to ensure availability and get the best rate, especially if your event falls during peak seasons like summer wedding season, spring break, or major holidays. In San Diego, popular dates like Comic-Con week, Fourth of July, and Memorial Day weekend tend to sell out quickly. Last-minute reservations are possible, but selection may be limited and prices higher due to demand. Once you have your date and rough itinerary, contact us right away to lock in your reservation with a deposit.
Our team is available 24/7 to answer questions, check availability, and guide you through the entire booking process from start to finish.
