18 Passenger Party Bus

Every 18-passenger party bus in our fleet comes standard with wraparound leatherette seating, powerful front and rear air conditioning, and a Bluetooth/AUX sound system with subwoofer and amplifier. The interior features multi-color LED accent lighting along the ceiling and floor with integrated fiber optic displays for a true "party" atmosphere. Additional amenities include dual flat-screen monitors, a large bar console with ice storage, and tinted panoramic windows for privacy.

The cost of renting an 18-passenger party bus ranges from $150 to $300+ per hour on weekdays, $150 to $320+ per hour on weekends, and $1,000 to $2,200 per day. Pricing depends on factors like the length and mileage of your trip, especially if you're traveling out of Thousand Oaks to somewhere like Santa Monica or downtown Los Angeles. Availability of buses at the time of booking, and the season or local events affecting demand (like major concerts or sporting events) also affect your price. Your quote includes gratuity but does not cover additional expenses like parking passes at venues, tolls, or a driver hotel on overnight trips.

An 18-passenger party bus hits the sweet spot between a smaller sprinter-style minibus and a larger full-size charter bus, making it ideal for groups that need both seating capacity and a true "party" atmosphere. Unlike a standard minibus, it offers wraparound seating with upgraded leatherette upholstery, integrated bar areas, and a full sound/lighting package typically only found on larger vehicles. Compared to a full-size charter bus, it's more affordable, easier to maneuver through Thousand Oaks' tighter streets or neighborhood venues, and still offers plenty of space for passengers and equipment. A critical advantage over standard minibuses is the immersive entertainment experience-you get multiple flat-screen TVs, a premium sound system with subwoofer, and fiber optic lighting throughout the cabin.

For the best availability and pricing, we recommend booking your 18-passenger party bus at least three to six months in advance. This is especially important if your event falls during peak season (April-June) or coincides with major local events in Thousand Oaks, Ventura County, or Los Angeles, when demand for party buses and other transportation options increases significantly. Booking early guarantees you lock in the exact vehicle you want and avoid last-minute price increases due to limited inventory. While we can accommodate last-minute requests, advance planning ensures a smooth reservation process and gives you time to coordinate all your trip details without pressure.
