Mini Bus Rental — 10 to 25 Passengers
Small group, big night. Our mini-bus tier runs 10 to 25 passengers, chauffeur included — the right size for the inner circle without paying for empty seats.
The Small-Bus Fleet
Mini bus searches usually mean one thing: more than a car, less than a coach. That's this tier — Tornado (10), Thunder (16), Blizzard (22), Wildfire (22) and the 25-passenger trio of Fireball, Hurricane and Volcano.
Every one is chauffeur-driven with the sound system and lighting already aboard — because a 15-passenger group heading to a birthday dinner deserves better than a church van. Need more seats? The 30–40 passenger tier is one click over.

Questions, Answered
What sizes do mini buses come in?
Ours run 10, 16, 22 and 25 passengers. Pick by headcount — you pay for the bus, not per person, so filling the right size is the trick.
Is a driver included?
Always. Every rental is chauffeur-driven, licensed and insured — nobody in your group touches a steering wheel.
15 passenger van vs 16 passenger mini bus — what's the difference?
The van is transportation. The Thunder is a night out that happens to include transportation — sound system, lighting, and room to actually face your friends.
How much does a mini bus rental cost?
