North Carolina Party Bus Company Reviews
Natalie M
We booked the 10-passenger shuttle for our trip from Cary to RDU. The driver arrived 15 minutes early and handled all our bags efficiently. The ride was smooth, making our early morning flight completely stress-free. So much better than coordinating multiple rideshares!
Faye D
Fantastic service for our wedding transportation in Asheville! The driver, Chris, was incredibly accommodating with our last-minute schedule changes. Our 20-person group arrived at the venue safely and on time. Highly recommend for any big event.
Emily P
NC Party Bus saved our event when another company canceled. We booked the 30-passenger bus last-minute for our corporate outing in Charlotte. Driver Mike was professional, on time, and helped us manage our three different drop-off locations efficiently.
Venus T
Rented a party bus for a birthday celebration in Raleigh. The vehicle was spotless and exceeded expectations. Our driver, Sarah, was flexible and friendly, ensuring we enjoyed our night out without any worries. We'll definitely be repeat customers next year!

Trips and Events in North Carolina a 18 Passenger Party Bus Is Great For
An 18-passenger party bus in North Carolina is perfect for any occasion that requires moving a mid-size group quickly and efficiently while keeping the energy high. It's ideal for wedding parties at venues like The Maxwell in Raleigh or The Terrace at Cedar Hill in Charlotte, bachelor/bachelorette crawls through Uptown or Glenwood South, and game-day fan trips to Bank of America Stadium (Panthers) or PNC Arena (Hurricanes). You can also book one for corporate outings, concert shuttles to Red Hat Amphitheater or PNC Music Pavilion, birthday bar crawls, or even comfortable airport transfers to RDU or CLT with a built-in pregame atmosphere. With seating for up to 18, you get a versatile vehicle that's easier to park than a full-size charter bus but still offers plenty of room to celebrate on the move.

How Much Does an 18 Passenger Party Bus Rental Cost, and What Factors Change the Price?
The cost of your rental depends on several factors, including your location, time of year, trip duration, and the type of vehicle you choose. Hourly rates range from $150 to $300+ on weekdays and $150 to $320+ on weekends, while full-day packages fall between $1,000 and $2,200. Your quote will include the base rental, driver, fuel, and standard gratuity, but will not cover venue parking passes, tolls, or hotel accommodations for the driver on overnight trips. For the most accurate, real-time pricing, call our team at 980-280-1290 or use our online quote tool—we’re available 24/7/365 to help you find the perfect bus at the right price.
How Does an 18 Passenger Party Bus Compare to Our Other Bus Types?
The 18-passenger party bus strikes a perfect balance between capacity and maneuverability compared to other options in our fleet. It's significantly more spacious and luxurious than a standard minibus or sprinter van, offering full wraparound seating and custom lighting, but it's still compact enough to navigate urban areas and tight venues that a full-size charter bus (seating 40-56) might struggle with. Unlike a traditional charter bus, which prioritizes forward-facing seats and overhead storage for long-distance comfort, the party bus is built for socializing and entertainment with a focus on high-end audio, video, and a fun interior atmosphere. You get the feel of a "limo-style" vehicle with room for a larger group, making it ideal for events where both comfort and celebration are priorities.
How Far in Advance Should I Book an 18 Passenger Party Bus?
We recommended booking your 18-passenger party bus at least three to six months in advance to ensure availability and lock in the best pricing, especially during peak season. In North Carolina, spring and fall weekends are extremely busy due to wedding season, college graduations, and major sporting events, while summer months see high demand for concerts, festivals, and beach trips. Booking early guarantees you get the exact vehicle you want and avoids last-minute price increases caused by limited inventory. If you’re planning a multi-day trip or a special event during a major holiday, book even further out. Once you know your date and rough headcount, call us—we can always adjust the details later, but securing that reservation early makes all the difference.
