18-Passenger Minibus Rental in Asheville
Asheville Coach Bus Service offers one of the largest selections of 18-passenger minibuses in Asheville and across North Carolina! These mid-size vehicles are perfect for groups who want something bigger than a van but smaller—and more affordable—than a full-size bus. You’ll find models from leading manufacturers like Grech Motors, Executive Coach Builders (ECB), Tiffany, LGE, and more, each with a unique floor plan and amenity package to suit your needs. Whether you’re planning a corporate shuttle between Biltmore Park and downtown, a wedding at The Ridge or Chestnut Ridge, or a brewery tour through South Slope, we have the right minibus for your group.

Amenities Available on our 18 Passenger Minibuses in Asheville
Wi-Fi
Stay connected on the road with free WiFi on board every 18-passenger minibus! Perfect for checking email during a morning commute from Arden to downtown, streaming music on a Blue Ridge Parkway sightseeing tour, or sharing photos from your bachelorette party in West Asheville. If you need extra bandwidth for video calls or large uploads, ask about upgrading to a dedicated hotspot.
Onboard Restrooms
Most 18-passenger minibuses do not have restrooms due to their size, but we can provide a model with a rear lavatory upon request. This is ideal for longer trips—like taking I-26 east toward Hendersonville or US-70 west to Waynesville—where bathroom breaks are less frequent. The restroom is compact but functional, with a toilet, sink, and running water.
Onboard TVs
Keep your group entertained with multiple flat-screen TVs throughout the cabin. You can play movies, TV shows, or presentations via DVD/Blu-ray player, HDMI input, or USB drive. Great for showing a welcome video to wedding guests en route to The Crest Center, or watching the Panthers game on a Sunday charter to Bank of America Stadium.
Power Outlets
Never worry about dead batteries thanks to abundant power outlets and USB charging ports at every row. Your passengers can charge phones, tablets, laptops, or medical devices while in transit. This is especially useful for business travelers working between meetings in Biltmore Village and Pack Square, or students keeping devices charged on a field trip to UNC Asheville.
Climate Control with Personal Air Vents
Stay comfortable in any season with powerful roof-mounted HVAC units that heat or cool the entire cabin quickly. Each seat has an adjustable air vent so riders can control airflow to their preference. Essential for staying cool during humid summers in the French Broad River Valley, or warming up after a winter hike in Pisgah National Forest.
Leather Seating
Ride in style with plush leather seats that recline, slide, and feature armrests and headrests for maximum comfort. The layout typically includes forward-facing rows with a center aisle, but some models offer perimeter seating for a more social atmosphere. Either way, your group will appreciate the upgrade over standard cloth upholstery, especially on longer journeys to Charlotte or Atlanta.
Overhead & Undercarriage Storage
Store backpacks, coats, and small bags in overhead parcel racks above the seats, while larger items like suitcases, coolers, or AV equipment can go in the rear luggage compartment. If your group has extra gear—such as musical instruments for a gig at The Orange Peel, or sports equipment for a tournament at John B. Lewis Soccer Complex—let us know and we’ll match you with a minibus that has enough storage space for everything.
