How much is an 18 Passenger Minibus rental?
One quick form is all it takes to unlock pricing for an 18 passenger minibus rental in Watsonville, California, no account needed, No waiting for callbacks to get pricing, no guesswork. As a general reference, 18 passenger minibus rentals typically run $190 – $330+ per hour, $1,210 – $1,990+ per day, and $5.00 – $7.25+ per mile, depending on the vehicle, the date, and how long you need it. A short event shuttle around Watsonville will land at a very different number than a full-day excursion to the Elkhorn Slough National Estuarine Research Reserve (1700 Elkhorn Rd, Watsonville, CA 95076) or a round trip to Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk (400 Beach St, Santa Cruz, CA 95060).
At the Boardwalk, buses unload in the street loading zone between Neptune’s Kingdom and the Main Entrance, then proceed to the River Lot (100 3rd St, Santa Cruz, CA 95060). Bus parking there is limited and not guaranteed, so your group can share a drop-off but cannot count on a River Lot space.
