18 Passenger Party Bus

Our 18-passenger party buses come standard with wraparound leather seating, color-changing LED lighting, a premium sound system with Bluetooth/AUX inputs, flat-screen TVs, and a built-in bar area with ice storage. You'll also get tinted windows for privacy, powerful air conditioning, and a PA system. These features make it easy to pregame, relax, and keep the party going between stops.

The cost of renting an 18-passenger party bus in Santa Maria ranges from $150 to $300+ per hour on weekdays and $150 to $320+ per hour on weekends, with full-day packages averaging between $1,000 and $2,200 depending on your itinerary. Your quote includes the bus, driver, fuel, and gratuity. The final price depends on factors like trip duration, mileage, and time of year-for example, a Saturday night booking during peak season will cost more than a weekday trip booked months in advance. To get an accurate quote, call our team with your exact itinerary so we can give you real-time pricing based on current availability.

The 18-passenger party bus hits the sweet spot between a larger party bus and a sprinter limo or minibus. It offers significantly more headroom, cabin space, and wraparound seating than a sprinter limo, making it much better for groups of 10-16 people who want to stand, move around, and socialize in a nightclub-style environment. Unlike a standard minibus, it comes fully loaded with premium party amenities-including custom LED lighting, upgraded sound systems, and built-in bar areas-so you can keep the energy high on the way to any event. If you have a larger group, need a restroom onboard, or are planning a longer trip, we recommend upgrading to a full-size party bus (up to 50 passengers) for even more space and features. This 18-passenger model is one of the most versatile options in our fleet-perfect for everything from local bar crawls and casino runs to out-of-town weddings and concert trips.

We highly recommend booking your 18-passenger party bus at least 3 to 6 months in advance to ensure availability and lock in the best rate-especially if your event falls during peak season. Demand for party buses in Santa Maria skyrockets during major events like prom season (April-May), graduation (May-June), and local festivals, as well as popular wedding months (spring and fall). If you're planning a trip to a high-demand destination like Santa Barbara wine country or a concert at the Santa Maria Fairpark, buses will book up quickly and prices will increase as your date approaches. Booking early guarantees you get the exact vehicle you want and saves you money by avoiding last-minute rate hikes. A non-refundable deposit is required to secure your reservation, with the balance due prior to your trip.
