More About 18 Passenger Minibuses
With an 18 passenger minibus rental in Santa Barbara, your whole group stays together, without splitting into separate cars or coordinating a caravan down the Pacific Coast Highway, on the way to Santa Barbara Harbor (132 Harbor Way, Santa Barbara, CA 93109). For minibuses over 22 feet and up to 33 feet, designated oversized-vehicle parking is available in five marked stalls each at Leadbetter, Harbor West, Garden Street, and Palm Park, for $7 per hour up to $40 per day, with no overnight parking. This gives your group designated options for parking during a daytime harbor visit.
These mid-size minibuses hit the sweet spot between a cramped SUV and a full-size charter bus, making them ideal for groups that are too big for rideshares and too small to need a 56-passenger coach. From wine country day trips through Foxen Canyon Road to group transfers in and out of Santa Barbara Airport (500 James Fowler Rd, Santa Barbara, CA 93117), airport ground-transportation pickups and drop-offs are in front of the terminal, where vehicles can stop briefly to load and unload. That gives your group a clear curbside meeting point to board together before your minibus continues on.
For trips along Santa Barbara's winding coastal roads and through its narrow downtown streets, an 18 passenger minibus is a mid-size option. Compare your options and find the right fit for YOUR group today!
