Mini Bus Rental in NYC — 18 Passenger Van Rental and Mini Bus Rentals NYC

Why an 18 Passenger Van Rental Is Hard to Find in NYC

There is a reason most searches for an 18 passenger van rental in New York City come back empty or expensive. Sprinter-style 15-passenger vans are common; true 18-passenger vans are rare in the rental market because most operators upgrade straight to a 20-or-25-passenger minibus class. What you actually want — what handles like a van but seats your full party of 18 — is the small-class minibus.

Our NYC mini bus rental fits 18 passengers with luggage, drives like a Sprinter, and is permitted for commercial passenger service in all five boroughs. It is the closest practical equivalent to an 18 passenger van rental in New York, and it solves the same problem: moving a group of 18 in a single vehicle without paying for a charter bus you do not need.

All 18 passenger NYC mini bus rentals in our network, much like the 20 passenger and 25 passenger counterparts, are designed for passenger comfort and convenience, and include features:

 Comfortable Seating – Comfy, reclining seats on either side of a center aisle.
Climate Control – Heating and air-conditioning for a pleasant ride in any season.
Luggage Storage – Rear storage and overhead compartments available.
Entertainment Options – Many models include WiFi, power outlets, and TVs.
Picture Windows – Enjoy the city sights that only the Big Apple can offer.

No matter the reason, with Metropolitan Shuttle, you will get the NYC minibus you need.
