18-Passenger Minibus Rental in Richmond
Richmond Coach Bus Service offers one of the largest fleets of 18-passenger minibuses in Richmond, with vehicles available across the city and surrounding counties. These midsize buses are perfect for smaller groups who want something bigger than a van but smaller than a full-size coach. Each bus comes loaded with amenities like WiFi, power outlets, leather seats, TVs, and even an onboard restroom—making them ideal for local shuttles, corporate transportation, wedding parties, and more. If you’re looking for a comfortable, modern, and affordable way to move 15 to 18 people anywhere in Central Virginia, we have the right minibus for you!
How Much Does A 18 Passenger Minibus Rental in Richmond Cost?
The cost to rent an 18-passenger minibus in Richmond typically ranges from $125 to $275 per hour, depending on factors like the exact size of the bus (we offer both 15- and 18-passenger models), the length of your trip, and the time of year. For example, a four-hour local shuttle within downtown Richmond or Short Pump might cost between $500 and $1,000 total, while an all-day rental for a wedding in Goochland or a corporate outing to Kings Dominion could run $1,200 to $2,000 or more. Multi-day trips—such as taking a youth sports team from Chesterfield to Virginia Beach for a weekend tournament—will be priced based on daily rates plus mileage and any required lodging for the driver. The best way to get an accurate quote is to call our team at 804-773-7155 with your exact itinerary; we can usually provide a custom price in less than 30 seconds. Remember, all quotes include the bus, driver, fuel, and standard amenities like WiFi and TV monitors; tolls, parking fees, and optional gratuity are extra.

Amenities Available on our 18 Passenger Minibuses in Richmond
Wi-Fi
Stay connected on the road with free WiFi on every 18-passenger minibus. Whether you’re checking email on I-95, streaming music through Shockoe Bottom, or sharing photos from your field trip to the Science Museum of Virginia, you’ll appreciate having reliable internet access throughout your journey. This feature is perfect for keeping productive during a morning commute from Midlothian or entertaining kids on a long drive to Busch Gardens.
Onboard Restrooms
Every 18-passenger minibus in our fleet comes equipped with an onboard restroom—an amenity that sets us apart from most other Richmond bus companies. Having a bathroom on board means fewer unscheduled stops, faster travel times, and greater comfort for everyone, especially on longer trips outside the city. If you’re shuttling wedding guests from downtown hotels to a vineyard in New Kent or taking a youth group to Washington, D.C., you’ll be glad you chose a bus with this essential feature.
Onboard TVs
Keep your group entertained with multiple flat-screen TVs located throughout the cabin. These monitors can play DVDs, Blu-rays, or content from a USB drive—ideal for showing training videos during a corporate shuttle to Innsbrook or screening movies for students on a field trip to Monticello. The audiovisual system also includes a PA microphone, so you can make announcements or narrate points of interest as you pass through historic neighborhoods like Church Hill or Jackson Ward.
Power Outlets
Never worry about running out of battery on your phone, tablet, or laptop. Our 18-passenger minibuses feature individual power outlets and USB ports at every seat, allowing passengers to charge their devices while in transit. This is especially useful for business travelers heading to meetings in the Fan District, students working on assignments en route to VCU, or anyone who wants to stay connected during a long ride down I-64.
Climate Control with Personal Air Vents
Richmond weather can be unpredictable, but your ride will always be comfortable thanks to advanced climate control systems on board. Each row of seats has adjustable air vents, so passengers can direct cool or warm air as needed. Whether you’re braving summer heat at a Flying Squirrels game or staying cozy during a winter wedding in Carytown, you’ll appreciate the ability to set your own comfort level.
Leather Seating
Ride in style with plush, high-back seats upholstered in black leather or premium vinyl. The seats are generously padded, recline for added comfort, and feature armrests and headrests for support. With seating for up to 18 passengers, these minibuses offer a level of luxury and refinement that’s perfect for executive transportation, bridal parties, or any group that wants to travel in comfort and class.
Overhead & Undercarriage Storage
Bring all the bags, coolers, or equipment you need—there’s plenty of room to store them. Overhead parcels racks run the length of the cabin, providing space for backpacks, purses, or small cases. Larger items can be stowed in the rear luggage compartment or, on some models, in an exterior underfloor bay. This makes it easy to keep the aisle clear and the cabin organized, whether you’re heading to a tailgate at City Stadium or packing supplies for a volunteer project in Henrico.
