More About 18 Passenger Minibuses
The 18-passenger minibus is a great pick for groups that don't need a full-size 56-passenger motorcoach! In Bend, that matters. These buses are compact enough to navigate NW Wall Street through the Old Mill District, handle the tight approach to Mt. Bachelor's West Village Lodge off Century Drive (OR-372), and pull up cleanly at trailhead lots along the Deschutes River Trail — without the oversized-vehicle headaches that come with a larger coach.
You'll have your pick of popular models like the Glaval Universal, Starcraft Starlite, and Turtle Top Terra Transit. Every one of them gives you a center aisle, enough roof height to walk to your seat standing up, a climate-controlled cabin, and room so nobody's sitting on a lap.
Why limit yourself to one fleet? Compare 18-passenger minibuses from a network of providers serving Bend and the surrounding area — all in one place, with instant online pricing and vehicle photos, no account needed!

Popular Amenities on 18 Passenger Minibus Rentals
The 18-passenger minibuses available through the network come loaded with TONS of great features your group actually wants on a Bend trip! Every model includes air conditioning and climate control — critical when summer temperatures on the east side of the Cascades swing hard between a cool morning departure from Tumalo State Park and a hot afternoon return. Seats are high-back reclining in leather or cloth depending on the model, with extra legroom so nobody arrives stiff after the drive up Century Drive to the mountain.
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, like ski boots and helmets heading to Mt. Bachelor. 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. WiFi is available on many models — great for the team that wants to stay connected on the ride from Bend to a Portland meeting.
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!

How much does an 18 Passenger Minibus cost?
18-passenger minibus rentals in Bend 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 ski shuttle looping between a Bend Old Town hotel and Mt. Bachelor's West Village will price differently than a Tuesday transfer to Redmond Municipal Airport (RDM) — and a handful of dates on the Bend calendar have limited availability across the whole Central Oregon market, which means higher prices.
BendFilm Festival draws crowds to McMenamins Old St. Francis School each October, Mt. Bachelor ski season runs from roughly late November through Memorial Day with peak weekends in February and March filling vehicles fast, and Bend Brewfest at the Hayden Homes Amphitheater (344 SW Shevlin Hixon Dr, Bend, OR 97702) was canceled in 2024.
