How Does an 18 Passenger Party Bus Compare to Our Other Bus Types?
The 18-passenger party bus is one of the most versatile vehicles in our fleet, offering a perfect balance between capacity and maneuverability. It’s larger than a sprinter limo or minibus, allowing for more guests and a bigger dance floor, but smaller than our 30+ passenger buses, making it easier to navigate tight city streets and park at smaller venues. Compared to a traditional charter bus, the party bus has a more open interior layout with perimeter seating, advanced lighting, and entertainment features tailored for social events rather than point-to-point transportation. It’s ideal for groups who want to travel together and celebrate en route, but don’t need the full size or higher price point of a larger bus. This model is especially popular for mid-size weddings, corporate outings, and multi-family trips.
How Far in Advance Should I Book an 18 Passenger Party Bus?
We recommend booking your 18-passenger party bus at least 3-6 months in advance, especially if your event falls during peak season or coincides with major local events like University of South Carolina football games, graduations, or popular wedding dates. Columbia’s busiest times include spring and fall weekends, homecoming and prom season, and large festivals or sporting events that can quickly limit availability across all providers. If you’re planning a trip that requires multiple vehicles, a specialty bus, or travel over a holiday weekend, securing your reservation even earlier will ensure you get the exact vehicle you want. Last-minute bookings are possible if we have availability, but selection may be limited and prices can be higher due to increased demand. Once you have your date set, locking in your transportation should be one of your first priorities.
