18-Passenger Minibus Rental in Albuquerque
Albuquerque Coach Bus Service is proud to offer one of the largest fleets of 18-passenger minibuses in Albuquerque, Santa Fe, and across New Mexico! These are some of our most popular vehicles for small group transportation, perfect for local businesses commuting between Downtown offices and Sandia Science & Technology Park, wedding shuttles at Hotel Albuquerque or Los Poblanos, or even private tours through Old Town, Nob Hill, and the ABQ BioPark. With comfortable seating, modern amenities, and plenty of room for luggage or equipment, these midsize buses are built to handle any itinerary from daily commuter routes to multi-day trips along I-25, I-40, or US-550. Whether you’re planning a corporate event at the Albuquerque Convention Center, a school field trip to the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center, or a night out in Uptown or EDo, we have the right 18-passenger minibus for your group.
How Much Does A 18 Passenger Minibus Rental in Albuquerque Cost?
The cost of renting an 18-passenger minibus in Albuquerque depends on several factors, including the length of your trip, the time of year, and the exact route you plan to take. For example, a simple round-trip transfer from the UNM campus to a concert at Isleta Amphitheater will cost less than an all-day wedding shuttle between downtown hotels and a ceremony in Corrales or Santa Fe. In general, you can expect rates to start around $150–$250 per hour, with daily packages ranging from $1,200–$2,000 depending on mileage and duration. We also offer discounted rates for multi-day bookings, such as transporting film crews between locations in the East Mountains or providing continuous service for multi-day conferences at Sandia Resort & Casino. The best way to get an accurate quote is to call our team at 505-510-7450 and provide details about your headcount, schedule, and destination—we’ll build a custom package that fits your needs and budget.

Amenities Available on our 18 Passenger Minibuses in Albuquerque
Wi-Fi
Stay connected on the go with free WiFi on every 18-passenger minibus. Whether you need to check email during a commute from Rio Rancho to Downtown, stream music while cruising down Central Avenue, or upload photos from a hike in the Sandias, you’ll appreciate having reliable internet access throughout your trip. This feature is especially useful for business travelers heading to meetings at Presbyterian Hospital or students working on assignments en route to UNM.
Onboard Restrooms
Many of our 18-passenger minibuses come equipped with onboard restrooms, making them ideal for longer trips outside the city. Avoid unnecessary stops on the way to Santa Fe, Taos, or Acoma Pueblo, and give your passengers the convenience they expect. This amenity is perfect for wedding parties, youth groups, or corporate teams who want to maximize their time on the road without sacrificing comfort.
Onboard TVs
Entertain your group with multiple flat-screen TVs and DVD players on board. Screen a training video for your nonprofit volunteers before a day of service in the South Valley, watch highlights from last night’s Lobos game, or keep kids occupied with cartoons during a field trip to Explora or the ABQ BioPark Zoo. HDMI inputs make it easy to connect laptops or gaming consoles for even more entertainment options.
Power Outlets
Never worry about running out of battery thanks to individual power outlets and USB ports at every seat. Charge phones, tablets, or laptops while you ride, so you arrive at your destination ready to work or play. This feature is essential for tech-savvy commuters, remote workers, or anyone who relies on electronic devices throughout the day.
Climate Control with Personal Air Vents
Beat the New Mexico heat with powerful climate control systems and personal air vents at each row. Set the perfect temperature for your group, whether you’re traveling in July or January, and enjoy consistent airflow from Uptown to Old Town. Tinted windows help block out glare from the sun while providing great views of the Sandia Mountains or downtown skyline.
Leather Seating
Relax in high-back leather seats with ergonomic support and adjustable armrests. The spacious layout allows for easy movement between rows, while the plush upholstery adds a touch of luxury to any outing. Reclining features let you kick back and unwind after a long day at Balloon Fiesta Park or Sandia Casino.
Overhead & Undercarriage Storage
Communicate clearly with a built-in PA system and wireless microphone included on every bus. Make announcements about upcoming stops, share interesting facts about Route 66 landmarks, or lead singalongs during a church retreat to Glorieta. Tour guides will appreciate being able to address the entire cabin without raising their voice.
