18-Passenger Minibus Rental in Detroit
If you’re looking for a compact, comfortable, and affordable way to move a small group around Metro Detroit, Detroit Coach Bus Service has an 18-passenger minibus that will fit your needs perfectly. These midsize buses are great for shuttling wedding guests between venues in downtown Detroit, running corporate commuters from Royal Oak or Birmingham into the city, or getting your youth sports team to away games in Dearborn, Livonia, or Grosse Pointe. With modern amenities like WiFi, power outlets, reclining seats, and climate control, everyone will ride comfortably while staying connected and productive. And with a smaller footprint than a full-size charter bus, these minibuses can navigate tight city streets and park in places larger vehicles can’t—making them ideal for trips to Greektown, Corktown, Midtown, or Eastern Market.
How Much Does A 18 Passenger Minibus Rental in Detroit Cost?
The cost of renting an 18-passenger minibus in Detroit depends on several factors, including the dates of your trip, how many hours you need the bus each day, and whether you’re traveling locally within Wayne, Oakland, or Macomb County or heading out of town to Ann Arbor, Lansing, or Grand Rapids. In general, you can expect to pay between $150 and $300 per hour for a minibus rental, with daily rates ranging from $1,200 to $2,400 depending on the length of your itinerary and the level of amenities you require. The best way to get an accurate price for your specific trip is to call Detroit Coach Bus Service at 313-880-4310 and speak with one of our reservation specialists. We’ll ask you a few questions about your schedule, your pickup and drop-off locations, and any special requests you have, and then we’ll give you a free, no-obligation quote in less than a minute. Our quotes are all-inclusive, so you’ll never be surprised by hidden fees or extra charges—and if you like what you hear, you can book your bus on the spot!

Amenities Available on our 18 Passenger Minibuses in Detroit
Wi-Fi
Stay connected on the road with free onboard WiFi, available on every 18-passenger minibus in our fleet. Your passengers can check email, stream music, post to social media, or catch up on work while riding between destinations in Detroit, Southfield, or Novi. If you’re organizing a corporate shuttle from downtown to the suburbs, your team will appreciate the ability to stay productive during their commute. And if you’re traveling with students or younger riders, WiFi is a must-have amenity that will keep everyone entertained and occupied.
Onboard Restrooms
Most of our 18-passenger minibuses do not come equipped with onboard restrooms, but we do have a few models in our fleet that offer this feature for longer trips or groups with special needs. If having a restroom on board is important to you, please let us know when you call to book your bus, and we’ll do our best to accommodate your request. For shorter trips within the city or between nearby suburbs, the lack of a restroom is usually not an issue, as you’ll never be more than 30-45 minutes from your next stop.
Onboard TVs
Keep your group entertained with flat-screen TVs and DVD players, standard on most of our 18-passenger minibuses. You can play movies, TV shows, or presentation videos during the ride, making it easy to pass the time on longer trips to Flint, Toledo, or Kalamazoo. If you’re traveling with kids, bring along some family-friendly DVDs to keep them occupied. And if you’re organizing a corporate outing or training session, you can use the screens to share important information or company updates en route.
Power Outlets
Never worry about running out of battery on your phone, tablet, or laptop thanks to multiple power outlets and USB ports located throughout the cabin. Your passengers can charge their devices while staying connected and productive, whether they’re commuting to work in Downtown Detroit, Midtown, or New Center, or heading out for a night on the town in Greektown or Corktown. This amenity is especially popular with business travelers, students, and anyone who relies on electronic devices to stay organized and entertained.
Climate Control with Personal Air Vents
Detroit weather can be unpredictable, but your ride will always be comfortable thanks to powerful climate control systems with personal air vents above each seat. Stay cool in the summer, warm in the winter, and enjoy fresh airflow year-round. If you’re planning an outdoor event or festival shuttle, your guests will appreciate having a comfortable place to relax between activities. And if you’re traveling with a group that has different temperature preferences, individual vents make it easy for everyone to customize their own comfort level.
Leather Seating
Relax in plush, reclining seats upholstered in leather or high-quality fabric, depending on the model you choose. There’s plenty of legroom for taller passengers, plus armrests and footrests for added comfort. Whether you’re heading to a Tigers game at Comerica Park, a concert at Little Caesars Arena, or a wedding in Bloomfield Hills, your group will arrive feeling refreshed and ready for the main event. And with seating for up to 18 passengers, these minibuses are perfect for medium-sized groups who want to travel together without renting a full-size coach.
Overhead & Undercarriage Storage
Bring all the luggage, coolers, or equipment you need thanks to generous storage options both inside and outside the bus. Overhead racks above the seats are perfect for backpacks, purses, or small bags, while larger items can be stowed in rear or underfloor compartments. If you’re traveling to Detroit Metro Airport (DTW), Belle Isle Park, or the Henry Ford Museum, you’ll have plenty of room for everything your group needs for the day. And if you’re organizing a sports team, church group, or volunteer organization, you’ll appreciate the flexibility and convenience of having all your gear in one place.
