Popular Amenities on 18 Passenger Minibus Rentals
When you rent an 18 passenger minibus in New Orleans, you'll quickly see that 18 passenger minibuses in the network come loaded with the features your group actually wants. Climate control keeps everyone comfortable whether you're riding through the thick August humidity or a cool January evening on the way to Preservation Hall (726 St. Peter St, New Orleans, LA 70116). High-back reclining seats, in leather or cloth depending on the model, give passengers real comfort on longer hauls, like a ride out to Oak Alley Plantation (3645 LA-18, Vacherie, LA 70090) or a transfer from Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (1 Terminal Drive, Kenner, LA 70062).
At Oak Alley Plantation, buses unload in a designated area, and passengers board only in designated bus parking. Your group can plan its arrival and pickup around those separate locations. MSY permits curbside drop-off but prohibits parking or waiting at the curb, so your minibus can drop off your group but cannot wait there for pickup.
Power outlets and USB charging ports keep everyone powered up. Flat-screen monitors with DVD or HDMI input, a PA system with a wireless microphone, and Bluetooth/AUX stereo let you set the mood from the first pickup. Overhead compartments handle carry-ons and smaller bags, while the rear luggage area fits roller bags and duffels — one bag per person as a general rule.
WiFi is available on many models. Select vehicles include an onboard restroom, and ADA-accessible minibus rentals are available on request. Compare amenities across vehicles from a large network of independently owned bus companies — all in one place, all in under 30 seconds. Yes, it's really that easy!

How much does an 18 Passenger Minibus cost to rent?
It's faster than you think to get pricing for an 18 passenger minibus rental in New Orleans — fill out one quick form and compare online rates from a network of independently owned transportation companies in seconds. 18 passenger minibus rentals typically run $190–$330+ per hour, $1,210–$1,990+ per day, and $5.00–$7.25+ per mile — and your exact quote depends on your travel date, the length of your trip, how many stops you need, and whether you're requesting specific amenities like WiFi or an onboard restroom. A quick New Orleans minibus rental for a wedding guest shuttle between the Hotel Monteleone (214 Royal St, New Orleans, LA 70130) and a ceremony at The Elms Mansion (3029 St. Charles Ave, New Orleans, LA 70115) will price very differently than a full-day private tour through Frenchmen Street, the Marigny, and out to the swamps. That's exactly why Coachbusneworleans.com connects you with a large network of independently owned bus companies, so you get competitive pricing that actually reflects YOUR trip, not a one-size-fits-all rate.
