18 Passenger Minibus
Charter Bus Rental Cedar Rapids has a full fleet of 18-passenger minibuses available for rent in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and the surrounding region. This is a great mid-size option for any group that needs something larger than a van but smaller and more maneuverable than a full-size 56-passenger charter bus. We regularly dispatch 18-seat mini-coaches to Linn County schools, corporate campuses, wedding venues, sports facilities, construction sites, and event centers across Eastern Iowa. Available models include Grech Motors GM28, Turtle Top VT3, Federal Spirit, Champion Challenger, and Glaval Universal—all built on reliable Ford E450, F550, or similar chassis.
