How Much Does A 18 Passenger Minibus Rental in San Marcos Cost?
An 18-passenger minibus rental in San Marcos generally costs $145–$404 per hour, $1,300–$3,000 per day, or $4.00–$7.00 per mile depending on your exact itinerary and package. You’ll pay toward the higher end of that range during busy seasons (spring break, summer weekends, major event days) or if your trip covers a lot of ground—like multiple stops across North County or an airport transfer down to SAN or LAX. Shorter local shuttles (weddings, corporate, or campus loops) will land closer to the minimum. For the most accurate price, call our team at 760-682-6910 with your headcount, schedule, and must-have features.
