Types of Buses Available
Below are some of the most commonly available vehicle types. Vehicle photos show representative examples — exact make, model, color, interior, features, and availability vary by provider and trip.
14 Passenger Sprinter Limo
The 14-passenger Sprinter limo is the go-to for bridal parties getting photos at Balboa Park before a ceremony in La Jolla, or a small executive group needing a polished ride between San Diego International Airport and a hotel in the Gaslamp Quarter. Amenities typically include premium leather seating, mood lighting, and tinted privacy windows — all in a footprint that handles Hillcrest side streets and beach-area drop zones without the clearance headaches of a full-size bus. Weekday hourly rates run $200–$325; weekend hourly rates run $225–$350.
Call 858-944-5640 for exact pricing on your date.
Common features may include:
- Climate Control
- Bluetooth Sound System
- Wraparound Limo Seating
- Built-In Bar Area
Sprinter Van Rental with Driver
The Sprinter Van Rental with Driver is the practical pick when the priority is clean, comfortable transport — not a party setup. Corporate teams shuttling between UTC offices and the Del Mar Fairgrounds, or medical conference groups moving between Kearny Mesa hotels and the convention center, love this vehicle for its compact footprint and straightforward seating. Weekday hourly rates run $200–$275; weekend hourly rates run $225–$375.

15 Passenger Party Bus
A 15-passenger party bus is sized right for a birthday group heading from Pacific Beach to a concert at Pechanga Arena, or a wedding party making its way from a Coronado hotel to a North Park reception venue without splitting into a three-car caravan. Most 15-passenger party buses come with perimeter seating, LED lighting, and a sound system — enough setup for the celebration to start before you arrive. Weekday hourly rates run $200–$350; weekend hourly rates run $250–$350.

18 Passenger Party Bus
When the guest list pushes past 15 but a larger bus feels like overkill, an 18-passenger party bus hits the sweet spot. It's a smart fit for bachelorette groups working a Gaslamp Quarter bar crawl, or a sports group heading up I-15 to Snapdragon Stadium for an SDFC match. The extra three seats make a real difference when everyone actually shows up.
Weekday hourly rates run $275–$350; weekend hourly rates run $275–$400. Call 858-944-5640 for a quick quote.
Common features may include:
- LED & Fiber Optic Lighting
- Bluetooth Sound System
- Wraparound Leather Seating
- Privacy Tinted Windows
20 Passenger Party Bus
A 20-passenger party bus handles the mid-size group that's too big for rideshares and too small to justify a full charter bus — think a quinceañera party heading from a National City venue to a reception in Chula Vista, or a corporate happy hour group shuttling from a Sorrento Valley office park to Little Italy for dinner. Perimeter seating, flat-panel TVs, and Bluetooth sound are common on this size. Weekday hourly rates run $250–$350; weekend hourly rates run $275–$350.

25 Passenger Party Bus
A 25-passenger party bus is one of the most commonly requested sizes in San Diego — versatile enough for a craft brewery tour through Miramar's beer corridor, a prom night for a mid-size class at a Chula Vista high school, or a wedding guest shuttle between a Rancho Bernardo hotel block and a ceremony venue in the hills. The ride itself becomes part of the experience. Weekday hourly rates run $250–$350; weekend hourly rates run $275–$375.

28 Passenger Party Bus
The 28-passenger party bus picks up where the 25-passenger leaves off — ideal for larger bachelor parties running from Ocean Beach bars through the Gaslamp, or company team-building groups needing a single vehicle to move everyone from a Kearny Mesa office to a PETCO Park suite event. Three extra seats matter more than people expect when the group is confirmed at 27. Weekday hourly rates run $250–$350; weekend hourly rates run $275–$375.

30 Passenger Party Bus
A 30-passenger party bus is a strong match for larger wedding guest shuttles looping between Mission Valley hotel blocks and a ceremony in Del Mar, or a school group heading from an El Cajon campus to Balboa Park's Fleet Science Center. At this size, onboard amenities like climate control and overhead storage start to matter a lot more for longer rides up the I-5 corridor. Weekday hourly rates run $300–$375; weekend hourly rates run $325–$425.

40 Passenger Party Bus
When the headcount climbs toward 40, keeping everyone in a single vehicle pays off fast — especially on San Diego's event nights when rideshare surge pricing along the Embarcadero or outside Viejas Arena after a sold-out show can hit 3–4x normal rates. A 40-passenger party bus is one vehicle, one pickup point, and one flat rate covering the whole group. Weekday hourly rates run $300–$350; weekend hourly rates run $325–$500.
Call 858-944-5640 to check what's available on your date.
Common features may include:
- LED & Fiber Optic Lighting
- Bluetooth Sound System
- Wraparound Leather Seating
- Privacy Tinted Windows
50 Passenger Party Bus
A 50-passenger party bus is the right call when the group is large enough that splitting into multiple smaller buses creates a coordination problem — two different pickup times, two different drop zones, two different bills. Corporate groups doing a year-end event at a Sorrento Mesa venue and large bachelorette weekends moving through multiple stops across San Diego County both benefit from consolidating into one vehicle. Weekday hourly rates run $300–$450; weekend hourly rates run $325–$500.

15-35 Passenger Minibus
The 15-35 passenger minibus is the workhorse vehicle for San Diego groups that need to move efficiently through tighter corridors — think Old Town's narrow surface streets, the loading zones around the San Diego Convention Center, or the drop-off lanes at San Diego International. Reclining seats and solid climate control make it a guest fave for airport transfers and multi-day conference shuttles. Weekday hourly rates run $200–$250; weekend hourly rates run $200–$275.
Call 858-944-5640 for availability.
Common features may include:
- Climate Control
- Bluetooth Sound System
- PA System
- Overhead Luggage Racks
40-56 Passenger Charter Bus
For the largest groups — sports teams traveling up the coast for away games, company shuttles during Comic-Con week when every surface parking lot in downtown San Diego is commandeered, or school groups making the run to the San Diego Zoo — a 40-56 passenger charter bus carries everyone in a single vehicle with undercarriage luggage bays, onboard restrooms, and overhead storage built in. Weekday and weekend hourly rates both run $200–$350; per-day rates run $1,350–$2,850. Call 858-944-5640 or use the quote form to compare options instantly.
