18 Passenger Party Bus

Every 18-passenger party bus in our fleet comes loaded with premium amenities designed to keep your group comfortable and entertained. Standard features include wraparound leather seating, color-changing LED lighting, multiple flat-screen TVs, a powerful sound system with Bluetooth and AUX inputs, and hardwood-style flooring. There’s also a wet bar area with built-in coolers, tinted windows for privacy, and a PA system for announcements. Additional options may be available depending on the specific vehicle.

The cost to rent an 18-passenger party bus in Cary typically ranges from $150 to $300+ per hour on weekdays and $150 to $320+ per hour on weekends, with daily rates falling between $1,000 and $2,200. These prices include gratuity but do not cover additional expenses such as parking passes at venues, tolls, or hotel accommodations for the driver on overnight trips. It’s important to note that these are estimated rates, and actual pricing may be higher depending on factors like availability, location, and the specifics of your event.

The 18-passenger party bus is a mid-size option that offers more space and amenities than a standard minibus but is smaller and more affordable than a full-size charter bus or larger party bus. It’s ideal for groups who want a comfortable, modern vehicle with all the latest features, including advanced lighting, sound, and video systems. Compared to our other bus types, the 18-passenger party bus is easier to maneuver and park, making it a great choice for urban events and venues with limited access. It also offers a better value for smaller groups who still want the full party bus experience.

We recommend booking your 18-passenger party bus at least three to six months in advance, especially if your event falls during a busy season or coincides with major local events. Cary hosts numerous large-scale gatherings throughout the year—such as college graduations, sports tournaments, and music festivals—that can significantly impact vehicle availability. Spring and summer are peak times for weddings and proms, while fall sees increased demand due to football games and homecoming events. The earlier you reserve your bus, the better your chances of securing the exact vehicle you want at a competitive price. Last-minute bookings are possible but may be subject to limited availability and higher rates.
