More About 18 Passenger Minibuses
Fill out one quick form and you'll immediately see why an 18 passenger minibus rental in San Marcos is the perfect fit for mid-sized groups who want to travel comfortably together without renting a full-size 56-passenger charter bus.

At CSUSM, special-event parking can be arranged in advance by the event planner, making a single 18-passenger minibus an easy way for your group to arrive together.

What’s Typically Included on 18 Passenger Minibus Rentals
One of the biggest reasons groups choose a San Marcos minibus rental over splitting into a caravan of rideshares is the onboard experience, and the amenities offered across the network shape that experience. Air conditioning and climate control keep everyone comfortable whether you're heading to a winery in Temecula Wine Country on a hot August afternoon or shuttling wedding guests to Twin Oaks Golf Course (1425 N Twin Oaks Valley Rd, San Marcos, CA 92069) on a cool December evening. High-back reclining seats (available in leather or cloth depending on the model) offer passengers a place to settle in for rides of any length.
Overhead compartments handle carry-ons and smaller personal items, while a rear luggage area handles roller bags and duffels, so nobody is cramming bags under their feet. Power outlets and USB charging ports keep devices powered up, flat-screen monitors with DVD or HDMI input handle entertainment, and a PA system with wireless microphone makes group announcements easy. Bluetooth and AUX stereo lets you play your own playlist from pickup to drop-off.
WiFi is available on many models, an onboard restroom is included on select vehicles, and ADA-accessible minibuses are available on request — just mention it when you fill out your quote.

How much does an 18 Passenger Minibus cost to rent?
Cross the guesswork off your planning list: 18 passenger minibus rentals in San Marcos, California typically run $190 – $330+ per hour, $1,210 – $1,990+ per day, and $5.00 – $7.25+ per mile, depending on the vehicle, the provider, and the specifics of your itinerary. A quick airport shuttle from San Diego International Airport (3225 N Harbor Dr, San Diego, CA 92101) to a hotel near Discovery Lake will land on a very different number than a full-day winery run through Temecula or a multi-stop school field trip across North County. SAN rules allow charter vehicles to use charter-vehicle parking stalls in terminal parking lots but prohibit waiting at terminal curbs, so your group can ride together to one airport pickup instead of splitting into separate rides.
