What does an 18 Passenger Minibus rental cost?
Start with your pickup date, passenger count, and San Mateo pickup location, and Sanmateocharterbus.com's 30-second online quote tool will show you provider pricing from a network of bus companies serving the Bay Area, instantly, without creating an account. For reference, 18 passenger minibus rentals in San Mateo typically run $190 – $330+ per hour, $1,210 – $1,990+ per day, and $5.00 – $7.25+ per mile depending on the vehicle, the provider, and the specifics of your trip.
