When you need quick, simple and affordable transportation for a small group, consider an 18-passenger minibus rental. These compact shuttles are perfect for zipping around Albany, handling tight downtown streets or limited parking at events with ease. Their size makes them ideal for airport transfers, corporate meetings, campus tours, or even a private family outing to the New York State Museum or Empire State Plaza. And because they’re part of our huge fleet of buses, you can easily pair multiple minibuses together or combine one with a full-size charter bus for larger, more complex itineraries.
While smaller than a typical coach bus, our 18-passenger minibuses don’t skimp on comfort or amenities. You can request plush leather seats, individual climate controls, overhead storage for personal bags, and onboard WiFi so everyone stays connected. If you’re planning a multi-stop itinerary—such as shuttling wedding guests between venues or giving students a tour of SUNY Albany—consider adding power outlets and a PA system for announcements. Some models even feature DVD players and flat-screen monitors for on-the-road entertainment, making the ride between destinations as enjoyable as the event itself.
Renting an 18-passenger minibus is cost-effective, too. Rates generally start from $145 – $404 per hour, $1,300 – $3,000 per day, $4.00 – $7.00 per mile depending on your trip details and the amenities you select. This makes it easy to fit comfortable group travel into any budget, especially when compared to coordinating multiple rideshares or reimbursing mileage for several vehicles. Ready to book?
