18 Passenger Party Bus

Our 18-passenger party buses come standard with wraparound leather seating, color-changing LED lighting, a Bluetooth sound system with subwoofers, flat-screen TVs, and a built-in bar area with ice chests and cup holders. You also get hardwood-style flooring, tinted windows for privacy, and powerful air conditioning.

The cost of renting an 18-passenger party bus in San Francisco ranges from $150 to $300+ per hour on weekdays and $150 to $320+ per hour on weekends, with full-day rentals averaging between $1,000 and $2,200. The final price depends on the length of your trip, the time of year, and the exact pickup location. For example, a trip during peak season or a special event like Outside Lands will cost more than a standard weekday rental. Your quote includes the bus, driver, and gratuity, but you'll be responsible for any parking passes, tolls, or hotel rooms needed for overnight trips.

The 18-passenger party bus is one of the most versatile and affordable options in our fleet, offering a true party atmosphere in a mid-size package that's perfect for navigating San Francisco's narrow streets and tight venues. Unlike larger charter buses, it provides wraparound seating and nightclub-style lighting, making it ideal for social events and bar crawls. Compared to a sprinter van or limo, it offers significantly more headroom, space for standing or dancing, and better amenities for groups of 10-18 people. If you need something larger, we also offer 28-passenger and 40-passenger party buses with similar features, or you can upgrade to a full-size charter bus for long-distance travel.

We recommend booking your 18-passenger party bus at least three to six months in advance to ensure availability and get the best rate, especially if your event is during peak season or on a Saturday. Demand in San Francisco is extremely high, particularly around major events like Outside Lands, Bay to Breakers, or Fleet Week, when buses sell out months ahead of time. Booking early locks in your reservation and guarantees you get the exact vehicle you want. Last-minute bookings are possible if we have availability, but you may have to choose from what's left and pay a higher price.
