How Much Does A 18 Passenger Minibus Rental in Lake Forest Cost?
The average price to rent an 18-passenger minibus in Lake Forest is $145–$404 per hour, $1,300–$3,000 per day, or $4.00–$7.00 per mile depending on your itinerary and how long you need the bus. You’ll pay less if you’re booking outside of peak spring/fall months, staying local to Orange County, and only need the bus for a few hours. Multi-day packages, long-distance charters (like to Las Vegas or San Diego), and last-minute reservations will be on the higher end. Every quote includes driver pay, standard amenities, mileage, tolls, and dispatch support. For the best rate, call us early with your headcount, schedule, and must-have features—we’ll find the right minibus at the best price.

Amenities Available on our 18 Passenger Minibuses in Lake Forest
Wi-Fi
Stay connected on the road with free onboard WiFi—great for checking email, streaming music, or sharing photos while crossing the 5 or 405. Your group can use the internet to look up directions to Whiting Ranch Wilderness Park, catch up on work during a corporate shuttle to Irvine Spectrum, or keep kids entertained with YouTube videos on the way to Pretend City Children’s Museum. If you need high-speed WiFi for video calls or large downloads, let us know when you book so we can match you with a bus that has extra bandwidth. No matter where your itinerary takes you—from Foothill Ranch to El Toro—we’ll keep everyone online and happy throughout the ride.
Onboard Restrooms
Most of our 18-passenger minibuses include a clean, enclosed restroom at the rear of the cabin—ideal for longer trips down I-5 or I-405, especially with kids or seniors aboard. Having a restroom onboard means fewer unscheduled stops when heading to LAX, Disneyland, or downtown LA. The facility is best for quick, emergency use (liquids only) and helps keep your itinerary on track during busy charter schedules. For major events like weddings at Heritage Hill Historical Park or tournaments at Lake Forest Sports Park, this feature adds comfort and convenience for everyone onboard.
Onboard TVs
Our 18-passenger minibuses come equipped with flat-screen monitors at the front and mid-cabin, plus a DVD/Blu-ray player and HDMI input for streaming movies or slideshows from a laptop. You can play training videos during a company shuttle to Spectrum Center, show highlight reels for a youth sports team heading to Lake Forest Sports Park, or screen family-friendly movies on the way to Knott’s Berry Farm or Universal Studios Hollywood. For custom content—like looping a wedding slideshow en route to a reception at Wedgewood Vellano—just bring your media on a USB drive, DVD, or connect via HDMI. Everyone stays entertained whether you’re stuck in rush hour on the 405 or cruising down PCH for a coastal tour.
Power Outlets
Every row of seats has access to either standard 110V power outlets or USB charging ports, so passengers can keep phones, tablets, and laptops fully charged throughout the trip. This is especially useful for business travelers heading to meetings in Irvine, students working on assignments en route to UCI or Saddleback College, or families keeping devices powered during a day trip to Disneyland or Angel Stadium. No more fighting over a single charger—everyone stays connected and productive from pickup to drop-off. If your group requires extra outlets for equipment like cameras or medical devices, let us know and we’ll make sure your minibus is properly outfitted.
Climate Control with Personal Air Vents
Stay cool in summer and warm in winter with powerful dual-zone climate control, plus individual air vents above each seat so riders can adjust airflow to their liking. This system keeps the cabin comfortable even during hot August days at OC Great Park or chilly December evenings touring holiday lights in Newport Beach. For large groups with varying preferences—like bridal parties in formalwear or athletes cooling down after a game—we recommend setting the main thermostat and encouraging everyone to use their personal vent for fine-tuning. Your driver will monitor conditions and can make adjustments upon request to ensure everyone arrives refreshed and ready.
Leather Seating
Enjoy plush, leather-upholstered seats that recline for relaxation, with adjustable headrests and armrests for added support during longer journeys. The seating layout offers generous legroom—more than you’ll find on most commuter vans or airport shuttles—making it comfortable for adults of all sizes traveling to destinations like Honda Center, South Coast Plaza, or LA Live. Whether you’re dressed up for a gala at Soka University or dressed down for a hike at Whiting Ranch Wilderness Park, you’ll appreciate the comfort and quality of our interiors. For premium upgrades like captain’s chairs or two-tone finishes, ask about available options when you call.
Overhead & Undercarriage Storage
Store backpacks, jackets, and small parcels in the overhead racks above each row, while larger items like suitcases, coolers, or sports gear fit easily into the spacious undercarriage compartment. This setup keeps the aisle clear and maximizes seating capacity—perfect for airport transfers to John Wayne or LAX, band equipment for gigs at FivePoint Amphitheatre, or picnic supplies for a day at Laguna Beach. If your group is traveling with oversized items such as surfboards, bicycles, or trade show displays, please provide dimensions in advance so we can assign a minibus with extra-large storage bays. We’ve moved everything from golf clubs to PA systems—if it fits, we’ll haul it.
