How Does a 18 Passenger Party Bus Compare to Our Other Bus Types?
The 18-passenger party bus is smaller than most of our other options but still offers many of the same amenities found on larger vehicles. It’s more affordable and easier to maneuver through city streets, making it ideal for downtown events or trips with multiple stops. Compared to a standard charter bus or minibus, the party bus has a more open layout and better entertainment features, but less storage space for luggage. If you need something bigger, we also offer 24-, 30-, and 40-passenger party buses with similar amenities.
How Far in Advance Should I Book a 18 Passenger Party Bus?
We recommend booking your 18-passenger party bus at least 3–6 months in advance, especially if your event falls during peak season or on a holiday weekend. In Austin, spring and fall are the busiest times due to wedding season and major events like SXSW, ACL Fest, and UT football games. If you’re planning something during these periods, the earlier you reserve, the better your chances of getting the exact vehicle you want. Last-minute bookings are possible if we have availability, but options may be limited and prices could be higher. Once you know your date and rough itinerary, it’s best to lock in the reservation as soon as possible.
