How Much Does A 18 Passenger Minibus Rental in Novato Cost?
The cost of renting an 18-passenger minibus in Novato typically ranges from $145 to $404 per hour, $1,300 to $3,000 per day, or $4.00 to $7.00 per mile, depending on the specifics of your trip. Final pricing depends on factors like trip duration, mileage, and time of year. Peak demand periods—such as spring/fall weekends for weddings at local venues like Stonetree Estate and Peacock Gap, or summer dates overlapping with events like BottleRock Napa Valley—can increase rates due to limited availability. Additional expenses may include tolls for crossings like the Golden Gate Bridge, parking fees, and optional onboard amenities.

Amenities Available on our 18 Passenger Minibuses in Novato
Wi-Fi
Stay connected on the road with onboard WiFi available on every 18-passenger minibus! Perfect for checking email, streaming music, or sharing photos from your trip, this amenity keeps you productive and entertained between stops. Whether you’re heading to a corporate event or exploring downtown Novato, you’ll appreciate having internet access at highway speeds.
Onboard Restrooms
Our 18-passenger minibuses feature onboard restrooms—a critical amenity for longer trips across the Bay Area. This means fewer unscheduled stops on Highway 101 or during weekend traffic, keeping your itinerary on track whether you’re headed to SFO, a Giants game, or a wine country wedding.
Onboard TVs
Entertainment comes standard thanks to multiple flat-screen TVs mounted throughout the cabin. You can screen-share presentations, play a custom video playlist, or just put on a movie to pass the time while traffic crawls past the Robin Williams Tunnel. It’s a simple perk that makes even short rides feel shorter.
Power Outlets
Every row includes dual USB ports and 110V outlets so passengers can charge laptops, phones, and tablets without fighting over plugs. Combined with the WiFi, this effectively turns the minibus into a rolling workspace—ideal for shuttling employees to the SMART station or students to College of Marin.
Climate Control with Personal Air Vents
A powerful HVAC system keeps the cabin comfortable year-round, backed by personal air vents at each seat so riders can fine-tune airflow. Leather upholstery resists stains and adds a touch of class, while vinyl flooring stands up to muddy boots after a hike on Mount Burdell.
Leather Seating
Our 18-passenger minibuses feature plush leather seating with ergonomic contours, adjustable headrests, and optional reclining backs for superior comfort on long rides. Perfect for executive travel, wedding parties, or any group that demands first-class amenities.
Overhead & Undercarriage Storage
Overhead bins provide space for backpacks and jackets, and there’s a rear luggage compartment big enough for roller bags or sports equipment. You won’t have to wedge suitcases into the aisle like on some cut-rate shuttles. Additional undercarriage storage is available for larger items, making it easy to transport everything your group needs.
