18 Passenger Minibus
At Charter Bus Rental Grand Junction, we offer several models of 18-passenger minibus for rent in Grand Junction, Fruita, Palisade, and anywhere your group needs to go. This is a great mid-size option for any team, crew, or party that needs something bigger than a van but smaller and more affordable than a full-size 56-passenger charter bus. We regularly dispatch 18-seat minibuses to school events, corporate trainings, construction sites, winery tours, wedding shuttles, and airport transfers across Mesa County and beyond. Available exterior colors include black, white, silver, and champagne—perfect for matching any event or branding.

You’ll pay by the hour for local trips (usually with a 4- or 5-hour minimum), by the day for longer single-destination charters, or by the mile for multi-day or out-of-town runs.

Amenities Available on our 18 Passenger Minibuses in Grand Junction
Wi-Fi
Stay connected on the road with 4G/5G Wi-Fi available on most 18-passenger minibuses, perfect for checking email, streaming music, or sharing photos during longer trips to Denver or Moab.
Onboard Restrooms
Many of our 18-passenger minibuses can be equipped with a half-bathroom (toilet and hand sanitizer) at the rear of the coach, ideal for longer trips over mountain passes or across the Utah state line. This is especially useful for youth sports teams, wedding guests, or corporate groups making the 4-hour run to Denver International Airport, the 2-hour trip to Glenwood Springs, or custom itineraries that include remote stops with limited facilities. The restroom is compact and designed for emergency use between scheduled breaks, helping keep the schedule on track while minimizing unscheduled stops along I-70 or rural highways.
Onboard TVs
Our 18-passenger minibuses can be fitted with one or two flat-screen monitors mounted at the front and mid-cabin, supporting DVD playback and HDMI input for laptops or gaming consoles. These screens are perfect for showing training videos, replaying game footage, or keeping passengers entertained with movies during longer trips to destinations like Powderhorn Mountain Resort or regional tournament venues. Bluetooth audio allows sound to be routed through the bus speakers for a full-cabin viewing experience.
Power Outlets
Keep devices charged with multiple 110V outlets and USB ports located throughout the cabin, essential for business travelers and students heading to events at Colorado Mesa University.
Climate Control with Personal Air Vents
Advanced HVAC systems ensure the cabin stays comfortable year-round, with personal air vents above each seat so passengers can adjust airflow to their liking—crucial for summer trips to Palisade or winter runs to Powderhorn.
Leather Seating
Upgrade your ride with plush leather or leatherette upholstery, available in several of our minibus models for a more professional and comfortable appearance.
Overhead & Undercarriage Storage
Store backpacks, jackets, and small bags in the spacious overhead parcel racks running the length of the cabin, while larger items like sports equipment, musical instruments, or roller duffels can be secured in the rear luggage area. For groups with additional gear, select minibus models offer exterior undercarriage storage bays accessible from outside the vehicle, accommodating bulky items such as coolers, banner cases, or trade show displays. This flexible storage setup is ideal for teams, performing arts groups, or conference attendees traveling with extra baggage.
