How Does a 18 Passenger Party Bus Compare to Our Other Bus Types?
The 18-passenger party bus hits the sweet spot between size, comfort, and affordability, making it one of the most popular choices for mid-sized groups who want something more upscale than a sprinter van but don’t need a full-size coach. Compared to smaller options like sprinter limos or executive minibuses, this model offers significantly more headroom, wraparound seating, and space to stand or dance while the bus is moving. You’ll also get larger TV screens, a more powerful sound system, and dedicated areas for coolers or carry-on bags. While bigger party buses (30+ passengers) do offer additional amenities and seating capacity, they can be harder to maneuver on narrow streets or tight driveways and may cost more to rent and operate. If you’re looking for a vehicle that’s easy to book, fun to ride, and versatile enough for any occasion, the 18-passenger party bus is hard to beat.
How Far in Advance Should I Book a 18 Passenger Party Bus?
We recommend booking your 18-passenger party bus at least three to six months in advance to ensure availability and lock in the best rates—especially if your event falls during peak seasons like spring weddings, summer festival season, or homecoming and graduation weekends in the fall. Lafayette’s busiest times include Mardi Gras, Festival International, and major UL sporting events, when demand for party buses often exceeds supply. If you’re planning a trip on short notice, we’ll do our best to accommodate you, but advance reservations give you the widest selection of vehicles and departure times. Once you know your date, put down a deposit to secure your bus; final headcounts and itineraries can be adjusted later.
