More About 18 Passenger Minibuses
An 18 passenger minibus is compact enough to navigate downtown Bakersfield's surface streets — including the congestion that stacks up along Chester Avenue and around the Kern County Fairgrounds (1142 South P St, Bakersfield, CA 93307) on event weekends — but can offer more room than a convoy of personal vehicles. These minibuses are listed for up to 18 passengers, with luggage space varying by vehicle, making them a natural fit for birthday outings, rehearsal dinner shuttles, corporate team travel, and day trips out to Hart Memorial Park or the Kern River. Through this website, you compare 18 passenger minibuses from different transportation providers serving Bakersfield and the surrounding Central Valley, so you're not locked into whatever a single company happens to have available on your date!
Mixing an 18 passenger minibus with a larger charter bus for a bigger group? That works too. Call 661-840-5290 and a live agent can help you build a multi-vehicle package around your exact headcount and itinerary.
