More About 18 Passenger Minibuses
The 18-passenger minibus is the sweet spot for groups that have outgrown a standard van but don't need a full-size 56-passenger motorcoach. In St. Paul, that size advantage is real. These buses are compact enough to navigate the tight turns around Rice Park, pull cleanly into loading zones on Wabasha Street near the Ordway Center for the Performing Arts, and handle the one-way grid through Lowertown without the oversized-vehicle headaches that come with a full coach.
You'll find popular models like the Starcraft Starlite, Turtle Top Terra Transit, and Glaval Universal in the network — all with a center aisle, enough roof height to walk to your seat standing up, and a climate-controlled cabin so nobody arrives miserable after a February night in the Twin Cities. Why limit yourself to one fleet? Compare 18-passenger minibuses from a network of providers serving St. Paul and the surrounding metro — all in one place, with instant online pricing and vehicle photos, no account needed!

What’s Typically Included on 18 Passenger Minibus Rentals
The 18-passenger minibuses available through the network come loaded with features your group actually wants on a St. Paul trip! Every model includes air conditioning and climate control — critical when temperatures swing from a humid July afternoon at CHS Field to a January evening outside the Xcel Energy Center after a Wild game. Seats are high-back reclining in leather or cloth depending on the model, with extra legroom so nobody arrives stiff.
Overhead compartments handle carry-ons and day bags (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 mic for tour guides or group leaders, and Bluetooth/AUX stereo so you can run your own playlist the whole way down Summit Avenue. WiFi is available on many models — great for the team that wants to stay productive on the ride from St. Paul to a South Metro client site.
Onboard restrooms are available on select models, and ADA-accessible vehicles with rear or side wheelchair lifts are available on request. Just mention it when you fill out your quote!

What does an 18 Passenger Minibus rental cost?
18-passenger minibus rentals in St. Paul cost $190–$330+ per hour, $1,210–$1,990+ per day, and $5.00–$7.25+ per mile depending on the provider, the date, and the specific vehicle. A Saturday evening shuttle looping between a hotel on Kellogg Boulevard and the Xcel Energy Center during a Wild playoff run will price differently than a Tuesday airport transfer to MSP. A handful of St. Paul dates tighten the whole metro market fast — Saint Paul Winter Carnival in late January and early February, Minnesota United home matches at Allianz Field from March through October, and RiverBash on Harriet Island fill buses early.
Prom season across St. Paul Public Schools and Mounds View, Roseville, and White Bear Lake districts in April and May is one of the busiest stretches of the year. The fastest way to see numbers for your exact trip? No need to fear — 30-second online pricing is here!
