What does an 18 Passenger Minibus rental cost?
Through a network of independently owned transportation companies serving San Mateo, 18-passenger minibus rentals cost $200–$345+ per hour, $1,260–$2,065+ per day, and $5.20–$7.45+ per mile — and the exact number your trip comes back at depends on your date, your route, and the specific vehicle you choose. A Saturday wedding shuttle running between a Hillsborough venue and a downtown San Mateo hotel will price differently than a Tuesday airport transfer to SFO, and a handful of Bay Area dates — Cal home football Saturdays, San Jose Sharks playoff runs, and peak prom season in April and May across San Mateo County school districts — see higher demand and tighter availability across the whole region.
