More About 18 Passenger Minibuses
Rather than cramming your group into a caravan of personal vehicles and spending the whole trip worrying about parking on Iowa Avenue or navigating the one-way streets around downtown Iowa City, an 18-passenger minibus keeps absolutely everyone together in one comfortable, climate-controlled cabin from the very first pickup to the very last drop-off. These compact minibuses are nimble enough to handle Iowa City's tighter corridors near the University of Iowa campus and the Pentacrest, while still delivering the modern amenities your group actually wants on a trip. Compare pictures, packages, and pricing from a large network of independently owned transportation companies — all in one place, in seconds!

Amenities Commonly Found on 18 Passenger Minibus Rentals
You don't have to compromise on comfort just because your group is on the smaller side! The 18-passenger minibuses available through the network come loaded with air conditioning and climate control, high-back reclining seats with extra legroom in leather or cloth depending on the model, and overhead compartments for carry-ons and smaller personal items — one bag per person — plus a rear luggage area for roller bags and duffels. You'll also find power outlets and USB charging ports so nobody's phone dies before the night is over, flat-screen monitors with DVD or HDMI input, a PA system with a wireless microphone for group leaders and tour guides, 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 needs to stay productive on the ride between Iowa City and Cedar Rapids. Onboard restrooms are available on select models, and ADA-accessible vehicles with wheelchair lifts are available on request — just mention it when you fill out your quote!

How much does an 18 Passenger Minibus cost?
If you want pricing for your specific trip in under 30 seconds, the online quote tool on this page is the fastest way to get it! 18-passenger minibus rentals in Iowa City 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 night out during a Hawkeye home football weekend will price differently than a Tuesday afternoon airport run to The Eastern Iowa Airport (CID) — and Iowa City's calendar fills up fast around University of Iowa events, graduation weekends, and the University of Iowa fall semester. The earlier you lock in your date, the better your options and pricing will be.
