18 Passenger Party Bus

This bus includes wraparound leather seating, color-changing LED accent lighting, and a Bluetooth-capable sound system with ceiling-mounted speakers. You also get hardwood-style flooring, a built-in bar area with ice chests and glassware racks, and flat-screen monitors for music videos or slideshows. The cabin is fully insulated with powerful air conditioning, and there’s rear cargo space for luggage or coolers.

An 18-passenger party bus rental in Tacoma costs $150 to $300+ per hour on weekdays and $150 to $320+ per hour on weekends, with full-day packages averaging between $1,000 and $2,200. The final price depends on several factors: the length and mileage of your trip, the time of year (with peak season rates applying to major events like graduations or Seahawks games), and pickup location. For example, a Saturday night rental during the wedding season will cost more than a midweek corporate shuttle. Your quote includes the vehicle, driver, fuel, and gratuity; additional expenses like parking fees at venues or tolls on the highway are not included.

The 18-passenger party bus strikes a perfect balance between capacity and maneuverability compared to other options in our fleet. It’s larger and more spacious than a traditional limousine or sprinter van, offering standing room and wraparound seating for easier socializing, but it’s still compact enough to navigate urban areas and tight venues where a full-size charter bus might struggle. Unlike a standard minibus, the party bus comes equipped with premium entertainment features like LED lighting, a powerful sound system, and optional beverage coolers, making it ideal for celebratory events rather than simple point-to-point transportation. If you need something larger, we offer party buses up to 50 passengers; if you prefer forward-facing seats or require ADA accessibility, one of our minibuses or full-size charter coaches might be a better fit.

We recommend booking your 18-passenger party bus rental at least three to six months in advance to ensure availability and secure the best rate, especially if your event falls during Tacoma’s peak season. Demand for party buses in the Puget Sound area is highest from April through October, particularly on weekends due to wedding season, graduation events for University of Washington Tacoma and local high schools, and major concerts or sporting events in Seattle. For trips during holidays like New Year’s Eve or Fourth of July, or for large group travel to popular destinations like Washington wineries, book even earlier. Reservations can be made up to a year in advance, and a deposit is required to hold your date. Planning ahead guarantees you get the vehicle you want and avoids last-minute price increases due to limited availability.
