18 Passenger Party Bus

Standard amenities on our 18-passenger party buses include wraparound leather seating, LED or fiber optic lighting, flat-screen TVs, a premium sound system with subwoofers, Bluetooth and AUX inputs, DVD player, and multiple wet bars or coolers. There’s also a hardwood dance floor, mirrored ceiling, and optional dance pole. Climate control keeps the cabin comfortable, and large tinted windows provide privacy while still allowing you to enjoy the view. Additional features may include USB charging ports, PA system, and under-seat storage for personal items.

The cost to rent an 18-passenger party bus in Bakersfield typically ranges from $150 to $300+ per hour on weekdays and $150 to $320+ per hour on weekends. Daily rates usually fall between $1,000 and $2,200 depending on the length of your trip and overall mileage. Your quote will include the base rate and gratuity for the driver, but does not cover additional expenses such as parking passes at venues (which you’ll need to purchase separately), tolls, or hotel accommodations for the driver if your trip requires an overnight stay. Final pricing depends on several factors including the exact pickup location, destination, total hours or miles, and time of year.

An 18-passenger party bus offers many of the same amenities as larger models but in a more compact and affordable package. It’s ideal for smaller groups who still want a full-featured vehicle with wraparound seating, LED lighting, and a powerful sound system. Compared to a traditional charter bus or minibus, a party bus provides a more social and festive atmosphere, with perimeter seating and open space for dancing. It’s easier to maneuver and park than a 40- or 50-passenger bus, making it suitable for events at smaller venues or in areas with limited access. If you need something larger or smaller, we have party buses available in sizes ranging from 10 to 50+ passengers.

It’s best to book your 18-passenger party bus as early as possible, ideally 3 to 6 months in advance, especially if your event falls during a busy season such as spring wedding season, prom season, or around major holidays like New Year’s Eve. Availability can become limited quickly during peak times, and booking early ensures you get the exact vehicle you want at the best possible rate. Last-minute reservations are sometimes possible, but options may be limited and prices higher. Once you have your event date and details finalized, contact us right away to secure your reservation. A deposit is required to confirm the booking, with the balance due before the date of service.
