We used South Bend Party Bus Company for our daughter’s wedding and couldn’t be happier with the experience! From the first call, their team was professional, responsive, and made sure every detail was covered. The bus itself was spotless, comfortable, and perfect for both our out-of-town guests and late-night transportation. We’ll be recommending South Bend Party Bus Company to everyone we know!

We trusted South Bend Party Bus Company with our daughter's bachelorette party and they knocked it out of the park! The driver was professional, the bus was spotless, and everyone had a blast. We’ll definitely use them again for future events!

Another amazing year with South Bend Party Bus Company! We used their party bus for our annual Notre Dame football tailgate, and it was perfect. The bus was clean, spacious, and had an awesome sound system. The driver was super friendly and kept us on schedule. Best company in South Bend!

Thank you very much South Bend Party Bus Company for making our son’s 21st birthday the best day ever! We rented a party bus to take his friends from Notre Dame campus to Chicago for the weekend and it was perfectly affordable, comfortable, and so much fun!

Trips and Events in South Bend a 18 Passenger Party Bus Is Great For

This 18-passenger party bus is perfect for a wide range of events and trips in South Bend, especially for groups who want to travel together and keep the energy high between stops. It’s a top choice for Notre Dame game day shuttles, easily handling tailgating supplies and keeping fans hyped on the way to Notre Dame Stadium or Purcell Pavilion. Wedding parties love it for rehearsal dinner transfers and late-night pickups from venues like the Palais Royale or The Brick. It’s also ideal for brewery crawls through the West Side, bachelor/bachelorette parties hitting downtown bars around Studebaker Plaza, or concert trips to the Morris Performing Arts Center.

 

Corporate groups heading to a team-building event at Four Winds Casino or employees needing airport transfers to SBN will appreciate the efficient seating and optional amenities like Wi-Fi and custom playlists. If you have a small group of 15-18 people and want a fun, reliable ride that keeps everyone together, this is easily one of the best options available in St. Joseph County.

Frequently Asked Questions About our 18 Passenger Party Buses

Every 18-passenger party bus comes standard with wraparound leatherette seating, color-changing LED lighting, and a premium sound system with Bluetooth connectivity. You’ll also get flat-screen TVs, a built-in bar area with ice chests, and powerful air conditioning. These amenities are designed to keep your group comfortable and entertained on the road.

An 18-passenger party bus rental costs between $150 to $300+ per hour on weekdays and $150 to $320+ per hour on weekends, with full-day rates averaging $1,000 to $2,200, though this can vary significantly based on location and demand. The final price is influenced by factors such as the length and mileage of your trip, the time of year (with peak season rates applying to major events like Notre Dame game days), and the specific amenities requested. For example, a short local trip in South Bend during the off-season will be at the lower end of the scale, while a weekend excursion to Chicago or Grand Rapids during peak season will cost more. To get an accurate quote tailored to your itinerary, call our team or use the online quote tool for real-time pricing and availability.

The 18-passenger party bus strikes a perfect balance between capacity, comfort, and cost-effectiveness for mid-sized groups in South Bend. Unlike larger 56-passenger charter buses, it offers a more intimate setting with wraparound seating and custom lighting, making it ideal for social events like bachelor/bachelorette parties or birthday celebrations. Compared to standard minibuses, it provides upgraded amenities such as a premium sound system, flat-screen TVs, and built-in coolers, ensuring the party starts as soon as you hit the road. While it may not have the extensive storage space of a full-size coach, it easily accommodates carry-on bags and small coolers, making it suitable for both local trips and regional travel to destinations like Chicago or Indianapolis. If you need something larger or smaller, we also offer a range of vehicles from sprinter vans to full-size motorcoaches.

We highly recommend booking your 18-passenger party bus at least three to six months in advance to ensure availability and secure the best rate, especially during peak seasons in South Bend. Demand for party buses increases significantly around major events like Notre Dame football Saturdays, graduation season (May and December), and popular wedding weekends in the St. Joseph County area. Booking early locks in your reservation before vehicles sell out or prices rise due to high demand-this is particularly important if your event falls during the busy fall college football season or overlaps with large local festivals. While we can often accommodate last-minute requests, securing your bus several months ahead guarantees you get the exact vehicle you want, along with any custom amenities or wraparound seating configuration your group requires. Deposits are required to confirm all reservations, with flexible payment options available for advance planning.
