How Much Does A 18 Passenger Minibus Rental in West Hartford Cost?
Local minibus rentals in West Hartford typically start at $145–$404 per hour, $1,300–$3,000 per day, or $4.00–$7.00 per mile. Your exact price will depend on the pickup location, length of the trip, time of year, and any custom amenities or vehicle requests. Peak rates apply during spring and fall weekends when school, wedding, and event travel is busiest. For example, a simple round-trip rental from West Hartford to downtown Hartford for a corporate event might fall at the lower end of the range, while a full-day wedding shuttle with multiple stops could be toward the higher end. Ask your reservation specialist for an exact quote on the minibus model that fits your trip—it’s fast, easy, and absolutely free.

Amenities Available on our 18 Passenger Minibuses in West Hartford
Wi-Fi
Stay connected on the road with optional 4G/5G Wi-Fi available on all 18-passenger minibuses. Perfect for business travelers heading to downtown Hartford, students needing internet access for school trips, or wedding guests sharing photos en route to venues like The Pond House Café. Ask your reservation specialist to include Wi-Fi when booking—coverage is strong, supports multiple devices, and keeps everyone productive or entertained between stops across I-84, Route 9, or local West Hartford routes.
Onboard Restrooms
Many of our 18-passenger minibuses can be equipped with a half-bathroom (toilet and hand sanitizer) at the rear of the cabin. This is a popular option for longer trips—such as sports or casino runs to Mohegan Sun or Foxwoods—or any itinerary where restroom breaks are limited. If you need a minibus with a restroom, just let our team know when you request your quote. We’ll make sure you get a vehicle that keeps your passengers comfortable and on schedule.
Onboard TVs
Keep everyone entertained or informed with flat-screen monitors mounted throughout the cabin. You can play DVDs, connect a laptop via HDMI, or run a video presentation for your audience. This feature is popular with athletic teams, school groups, and corporate travelers who want to pass the time with movies, training videos, or game footage review. Larger monitors are typically mounted at the front, with additional screens along the aisle for easy viewing.
Power Outlets
Never worry about devices running out of battery—our minibuses offer multiple 110V AC outlets and USB charging ports throughout the cabin. Business travelers can plug in laptops and tablets, while everyone else keeps phones and other electronics powered up for the entire journey. Staying charged is essential for productivity, entertainment, and staying connected on the go. Just ask your reservation specialist about outlet placement and availability.
Climate Control with Personal Air Vents
Stay comfortable year-round with advanced climate control systems featuring personal air vents above each seat. Whether it’s a hot summer day or a chilly winter evening, the temperature inside the minibus remains consistent and adjustable. Passengers can fine-tune airflow to their liking, ensuring a pleasant ride regardless of the weather outside. Reliable heating and cooling make every trip more enjoyable.
Leather Seating
Travel in style and comfort with plush, high-back seats upholstered in either cloth or easy-to-clean leatherette/vinyl. The seats recline for relaxation, feature padded headrests, and are arranged to allow groups to sit together comfortably. Wide aisles make it easy to move about the cabin, and the seating is designed for both short shuttles and longer journeys.
Overhead & Undercarriage Storage
Bring all your gear along with generous storage options both inside and outside the passenger area. Overhead parcel racks are perfect for backpacks, jackets, and smaller items you want within reach. Larger bags, equipment cases, or coolers can be stowed in rear cargo bays or undercarriage compartments. There’s ample room for luggage, sports gear, or event materials.
