More About 18 Passenger Minibuses
An 18 passenger minibus can be nimble enough to navigate Santa Monica's beach-grid streets — think 4th Street, Lincoln Boulevard, and the always-packed stretch of Ocean Avenue — while potentially offering your group forward-facing seats and overhead storage for a day's worth of bags. Whether you're shuttling wedding guests between Shutters on the Beach (1 Pico Blvd, Santa Monica, CA 90405) and a reception venue inland, moving a corporate group from a hotel on Wilshire Boulevard to a team event in Culver City, or running a group of 18 out to Topanga Canyon for a private retreat, an 18-passenger minibus can handle the trip without the bulk of a full charter bus.
Through this website, you'll compare 18 passenger minibuses from a network of independently owned companies serving Santa Monica, the Westside, and all of greater Los Angeles — so you're never stuck choosing from whatever one company happens to have available on your date. You can set the itinerary. You can plan the stops.
Your group can enjoy the ride!

Heading to a concert at the Greek Theatre in Griffith Park, or shuttling colleagues from Santa Monica to a conference at the Los Angeles Convention Center (1201 S Figueroa St, Los Angeles, CA 90015)?

How much does an 18 Passenger Minibus cost in Santa Monica?
Santa Monica 18 passenger minibus rental prices vary based on your travel date, how many stops you need, how long you need the bus, and which amenities you want on board. A quick beach-to-venue shuttle on a weekday looks different from a full-day itinerary running from Santa Monica Pier to a winery in the Santa Ynez Valley — and pricing reflects that. The fastest way to see real numbers for your specific trip is to use the online quote tool right here on this website.
It takes about a minute to fill out, and after you submit, you continue to a results page showing available 18 passenger minibuses, vehicle photos, and pricing from a network of transportation companies serving the area — no account needed, without waiting for callbacks.
