How Much Does A 18 Passenger Minibus Rental in San Diego Cost?
An 18-passenger minibus in San Diego typically costs $145–$404 per hour, $1,300–$3,000 per day, or $4.00–$7.00 per mile depending on your exact itinerary and how far you plan to travel. You’ll pay toward the higher end of that range during major events like Comic-Con, graduations at UCSD/SDSU, or summer beach season. Smaller groups going round-trip within city limits (Downtown, Mission Valley, La Jolla, Pacific Beach) will see lower rates than charters to Temecula wineries, Disneyland, or cross-border runs to Tijuana. For the best price, book at least 3-6 months in advance and have your headcount, schedule, and pickup/drop-off addresses ready when you call.
