You can count on Oaklandcharterbusservices.com to bring you more options than any single bus company ever could! Because Oaklandcharterbusservices.com is not a local bus company and doesn't own any vehicles, you're never limited to just one fleet.

The 18-passenger minibus is compact enough to navigate Broadway, handle the tight turns near Jack London Square, and pull up cleanly at hotel loading zones along Telegraph Avenue, all without the oversized-vehicle headaches that come with a full-size 56-passenger motorcoach. Why limit yourself to one fleet? Compare buses, packages, and pricing side by side and find the vehicle that actually fits your group and your budget!

How much does an 18 Passenger Minibus cost?
What your 18-passenger minibus rental costs in Oakland depends on a handful of key factors — your date, how many hours you need the bus, where you're starting, and any extra stops along the way. As a general range, 18-passenger minibus rentals cost $200–$345+ per hour, $1,260–$2,065+ per day, and $5.20–$7.45+ per mile depending on the provider, the date, and the specific vehicle. A Saturday night run from a Temescal hotel to a concert at the Fox Theater and back will price differently than a Tuesday morning airport transfer to Oakland International Airport (OAK) — and a handful of dates on the Oakland calendar, like events at the Coliseum, Warriors nights at Chase Center across the Bay, and festival weekends in the East Bay, have limited availability across the whole region, which means higher prices.
