More About 18 Passenger Minibuses
Make your group transportation easy on the Peninsula with an 18-passenger minibus — the right size for a corporate team heading to a client meeting in Palo Alto, a wedding party shuttling between the Marriott in San Mateo and a venue in Burlingame, or a group of friends catching a Giants game across the Bay. These buses are compact enough to navigate the tighter streets around downtown San Mateo and handle hotel loading lanes without the oversized-vehicle headaches that come with a full 56-passenger motorcoach. You get a climate-controlled cabin, high-back reclining seats, and enough room that nobody is sitting on a lap.
Compare 18-passenger minibuses from a network of providers serving San Mateo and the entire Bay Area — with instant online pricing and vehicle photos, no account needed!

How much does an 18 Passenger Minibus cost to rent?
Find pricing for your San Mateo trip in under 30 seconds using the online quote tool — no account required, No waiting for callbacks to get pricing, no guessing. 18-passenger minibus rentals cost $190–$330+ per hour, $1,210–$1,990+ per day, and $5.00–$7.25+ per mile depending on the provider, the date, and the specific vehicle. A weekday shuttle between San Mateo and San Francisco International Airport will price differently than a Saturday wedding run, and a handful of Bay Area dates — Giants home games at Oracle Park, Warriors nights at Chase Center, and peak prom season across San Mateo County school districts in April and May — drive demand across the whole region at once, which means earlier booking and higher rates. Enter your date, group size, and pickup location to land on a results page showing vehicles, photos, and pricing from a network of bus companies serving San Mateo and the surrounding area.
