Meet the 18 Passenger Minibus
You'll find the 18-passenger minibus is one of the most versatile vehicles in the entire network — compact enough to navigate the narrow blocks of the French Quarter and Magazine Street, yet spacious enough to seat your whole group comfortably with room for bags and carry-ons. Unlike a full-size 56-passenger motorcoach, the 18-passenger minibus handles the tight turns on Decatur Street and Royal Street without the oversized-vehicle headaches that come with larger coaches. Popular models in the network include the Glaval Universal, the Starcraft Starlite, and the Turtle Top Terra Transit, all with a center aisle and enough roof height to walk to your seat standing up.
Why limit yourself to one fleet? Compare 18-passenger minibuses from a large network of providers serving New Orleans and the surrounding area — all in one place, with instant online pricing and vehicle photos, no account needed!

Common Amenities Available on 18 Passenger Minibus Rentals
Instead of squeezing into separate cars and hoping everyone arrives at the same time, your group boards one comfortable, climate-controlled cabin loaded with the amenities you actually want on a New Orleans trip! Every 18-passenger minibus in the network comes with air conditioning and climate control — a must when August humidity on Bourbon Street hits like a wall — plus high-back reclining seats in leather or cloth with extra legroom so nobody arrives stiff. Overhead compartments handle carry-ons and smaller personal items (one bag per person), and a rear luggage area fits roller bags and duffels for groups with more gear.
You'll also find power outlets and USB charging ports, flat-screen monitors with DVD or HDMI input, a PA system with wireless microphone for tour guides and group leaders, and Bluetooth/AUX stereo so your playlist runs from the first pickup all the way to the last drop-off. WiFi is available on many models, an onboard restroom is available on select models, and ADA-accessible vehicles with wheelchair lifts are available on request — just mention it when you fill out your quote! Amenities do vary by bus, but with a large network of independently owned transportation companies at your fingertips, you can find exactly the features your group needs!

What does an 18 Passenger Minibus rental cost?
The fastest way to know what your specific trip costs is to fill out the quote form on this page — you'll see pricing from a network of transportation companies serving New Orleans in under 30 seconds, no account required. 18-passenger minibus rentals in New Orleans 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 bachelorette night rolling through the Marigny and the Warehouse District will price differently than a Tuesday airport transfer from Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport — and a handful of dates on the New Orleans calendar, like Mardi Gras, Jazz Fest, and French Quarter Festival, see limited availability across the whole metro, which means higher prices and fewer options for groups that wait. The earlier you compare, the better your options!
