18-Passenger Minibus Rental in Santa Fe
Santa Fe Coach Bus Service has the largest fleet of 18-passenger minibuses in New Mexico, and we can send one anywhere you need it across Santa Fe County, Los Alamos, Albuquerque, or even up to Taos and Española. These compact yet comfortable vehicles are perfect for moving small groups around the city—whether you’re planning a wedding at La Fonda on the Plaza, shuttling corporate guests between downtown hotels and the Railyard District, or organizing a field trip to Museum Hill. Each minibus comes loaded with amenities like WiFi, power outlets, reclining seats, and climate control to keep your group comfortable and connected. If you need something smaller or larger, we also offer sprinter vans, 20- to 25-passenger minibuses, and full-size charter buses—all available 24/7/365!
How Much Does A 18 Passenger Minibus Rental in Santa Fe Cost?
The cost of renting an 18-passenger minibus in Santa Fe typically ranges from $185 to $300 per hour depending on the exact vehicle, time of year, and length of rental. For example, a four-hour rental to shuttle wedding guests between the Cathedral Basilica of St. Francis and a reception at La Fonda will generally fall at the lower end of that range, while an all-day charter to Bandelier National Monument or Ghost Ranch may be higher. We always recommend booking at least six months in advance if your trip falls during peak season (May–October) or coincides with major events like Santa Fe Indian Market, Spanish Market, or Zozobra—demand is highest then and prices reflect that.
