How Does a 18 Passenger Party Bus Compare to Our Other Bus Types?
The 18-passenger party bus is one of the most versatile vehicles in our fleet, offering a perfect balance between capacity, comfort, and affordability. Unlike larger charter buses—which are designed for long-distance travel and have forward-facing seats—this mid-size party bus features a fully customizable interior with wraparound leather seating, color-changing LED lights, and a state-of-the-art sound system. It’s ideal for small-to-medium groups who want to stay together and celebrate on the road, whether you’re heading to a wedding, concert, or corporate event. Compared to a standard minibus, the 18-passenger party bus offers significantly more headroom, legroom, and entertainment options, including flat-screen TVs, Bluetooth connectivity, and optional beverage stations. If you need something larger, we also offer full-size party buses that can accommodate up to 40+ passengers; if you need something smaller, check out our sprinter vans and executive minibuses.
How Far in Advance Should I Book a 18 Passenger Party Bus?
We strongly recommend booking your 18-passenger party bus at least three to six months in advance, especially if your trip falls during peak season or overlaps with a major event. In Rio Rancho, high demand periods include spring break, graduation weekends at UNM and NMSU, summer concert series at Sandia Resort, Balloon Fiesta week, and holiday party season from Thanksgiving through New Year’s Eve. Last-minute reservations are possible if we have availability, but you’ll get the best selection and pricing by securing your vehicle early. A non-refundable deposit is required to confirm your reservation, with the balance due prior to departure. Once your trip is booked, you can relax knowing that your transportation is locked in and ready to go.
