The cost to rent an 18-passenger party bus in Berkeley typically ranges from $150 to $300+ per hour on weekdays and $150 to $320+ per hour on weekends, with daily rates between $1,000 and $2,200. Your quote includes the base rental fee and gratuity, but does not cover parking passes at venues, bridge tolls, or hotel accommodations for the driver on overnight trips—those are extra. Final pricing depends on the exact pickup location, destination, total hours or mileage, and time of year. Major events like UC Berkeley graduation, Bay Area sports playoffs, and summer concert season can affect availability and rates.

Our 18-passenger party bus offers a unique blend of comfort, entertainment, and versatility compared to other bus types in our fleet. Unlike standard minibuses or charter buses, this party bus is specifically designed for social events and celebrations, featuring wraparound seating, advanced sound systems, and vibrant lighting. It’s smaller and more maneuverable than larger coaches, making it ideal for navigating urban areas like downtown Berkeley while still providing ample space for guests to stand, dance, and interact. While it doesn’t have the sleeping accommodations of a full-size motorcoach or the compact efficiency of a sprinter van, it excels in creating a lively, mobile venue for mid-sized groups. Perfect for those who want more amenities than a minibus but don’t need the capacity of a 30+ passenger bus.

We recommend booking your 18-passenger party bus at least three to six months in advance, especially if your event falls during peak season or coincides with major local happenings. In Berkeley, demand spikes around UC Berkeley commencement, homecoming games, and large-scale events at the Greek Theatre or Downtown Arts District. Spring and summer weddings, as well as Bay Area festival weekends, also fill up the calendar quickly. Booking early not only secures your preferred date and vehicle but also locks in the best rates before last-minute pricing kicks in. If you have less lead time, we’ll do our best to accommodate, but options may be limited and rates higher.
