18 Passenger Party Bus

Every 18-passenger party bus in our fleet comes standard with wraparound seating, color-changing LED lighting, multiple flat-screen TVs, a powerful sound system with Bluetooth and AUX inputs, and at least one wet bar or beverage station. You’ll also get hardwood or vinyl flooring, tinted windows for privacy, and optional features like WiFi, USB charging ports, and PA microphones. Additional amenities include DVD/Blu-ray players, HDMI inputs for gaming consoles, and storage cabinets for personal items. If you have specific needs or requests, just let us know—we can customize the package to suit your event.

The cost to rent an 18-passenger party bus in Columbus 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 depending on the length and details of your trip. These prices include standard gratuity but do not cover additional expenses such as parking passes at venues (which you will need to purchase separately), tolls incurred during travel, or hotel accommodations for the driver on overnight trips. It’s important to note that these are estimated rates; actual pricing may be significantly higher depending on factors like availability, exact location, time of year, and specific requests for your event.

The 18-passenger party bus hits a sweet spot between capacity, comfort, and cost, making it one of the most versatile options in our fleet. Compared to a standard 15-passenger sprinter or minibus, you get more headroom, wider aisles, and full wraparound seating instead of forward-facing rows—perfect for socializing. It’s easier to maneuver and park than a 30+ seat coach but still offers serious amenities: dual wet bars, upgraded sound system, multiple screens, and custom lighting. For midsize groups who want something bigger than a van but don’t need a full-size charter bus, this is the best value. You get all the “wow factor” of a larger party bus in a package that’s easier to book, budget, and run for any event.

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 that could affect availability. In Columbus, peak times include spring and fall wedding seasons, high school prom and homecoming weekends, and large regional gatherings such as college football games or citywide festivals. Because demand for party buses often exceeds supply during these periods, waiting until the last minute can make it difficult to secure the vehicle you want at a reasonable price. If your trip involves an overnight stay or requires multiple buses, it’s even more important to reserve early so we can accommodate all of your needs. Once you have your date set and a rough itinerary, contact us right away to lock in your reservation with a deposit; final details and payment can be arranged closer to the event.
