More about our 18 Passenger Party Bus
This is easily one of the best “small” party buses in Oceanside because it packs full-size-bus features into a super manageable package. You get two big LCD screens (one front, one rear) plus smaller monitors along the sides, all hooked to a DVD/Blu-ray player and HDMI input for gaming consoles or video playback. The sound system is built around a powerful amp driving multiple speakers and subwoofers, with inputs for Bluetooth, AUX, and USB so you can run playlists straight from a phone. There’s a full-length bar area with dual ice chests, glassware racks, and counter space for mixing drinks, plus additional coolers under the seats. Lighting includes multi-color LEDs along the ceiling, floor, and side panels, plus fiber optic strips and optional laser effects. Climate control is handled by dual AC units strong enough for midsummer, and there’s a PA mic up front for announcements. Optional WiFi hotspot and 110V power inverter available on request.

Frequently Asked Questions About our 18 Passenger Party Buses
What Amenities Come Standard on Your 18 Passenger Party Buses?
Every 18-passenger party bus comes standard with perimeter leather seating, dual flat-screen TVs (32” front/rear), Bluetooth/DVD sound system, color-changing LED lighting, mirrored ceiling, hardwood floors, wet bar/cooler, and full climate control. Additional features include a PA microphone, tinted windows for privacy, USB charging ports, and under-seat storage. This is a midsize coach with full-size amenities, designed for groups who want to ride in comfort and style.
How Much Does a 18 Passenger Party Bus Rental Cost, and What Factors Change the Price?
Hourly pricing is $150 to $300+ on weekdays, $150 to $320+ on weekends, and $1,000–$2,200 per day. Final cost depends on total hours, mileage, and exact location—beach cities and downtown runs may be higher. Contact us with your trip details for a fast, accurate quote.
How Does a 18 Passenger Party Bus Compare to Our Other Bus Types?
The 18-passenger party bus fills the gap between smaller sprinter-style coaches and larger 22–30 seat models, offering many of the same entertainment features in a more compact footprint that’s easier to maneuver and park. Compared to a 14–16 passenger sprinter, this bus has significantly more interior space, bigger sound system, and a true wraparound seating layout that encourages socializing. It’s less expensive than renting a 20+ seat bus but still delivers a full “nightclub on wheels” experience. For groups larger than 18, we recommend stepping up to a 22 or 28-passenger option; for smaller outings, a sprinter or executive shuttle may be more cost-effective.
How Far in Advance Should I Book a 18 Passenger Party Bus?
We recommend booking your 18-passenger party bus at least 3 to 6 months in advance, especially if your event falls during peak wedding season (spring/summer), prom season (April–June), or around major holidays like New Year’s Eve or Fourth of July. Availability can be limited during these times due to high demand across San Diego and Riverside Counties. Large events such as Comic-Con, Del Mar races, or concerts at Snapdragon Stadium will also impact fleet availability. Last-minute reservations are possible if we have open inventory, but securing your date early ensures the best selection and pricing. Once you confirm the reservation with a signed contract and deposit, the vehicle is guaranteed for your event.
