How Does a 18 Passenger Party Bus Compare to Our Other Bus Types?
The 18-passenger party bus is smaller than our 20, 24, 28, and 30-passenger options but offers similar amenities and layout features. It’s ideal for mid-size groups who want something more upscale and comfortable than a standard limousine but don’t need the capacity of a larger coach. Compared to a traditional charter bus or minibus, the party bus has a more open interior with perimeter seating and entertainment-focused features like LED lighting and sound systems. It’s easier to maneuver in urban areas and can access venues with tighter parking situations. For larger groups, multiple buses can be booked together.
How Far in Advance Should I Book a 18 Passenger Party Bus?
We recommend booking your 18-passenger party bus at least 3–6 months in advance, especially if your event is during peak season (spring/summer wedding season, prom season, or around major holidays). Availability can be limited on weekends and during times when multiple large events are happening in the same area. Last-minute bookings are possible if we have open inventory, but securing your reservation early will ensure you get the exact vehicle you want at the best price. Once you have your date and rough itinerary, it’s best to lock in the bus as soon as possible.
