More About 18 Passenger Minibuses
An 18 passenger minibus hits a sweet spot that full-size charter buses and cramped rideshare vans both miss — it's compact enough to navigate Page Mill Road and the tighter drop-off lanes around the Stanford Research Park, yet roomy enough that your group actually has space to breathe. Whether you're coordinating a team shuttle from the Caltrain station on University Avenue to a corporate campus off Sand Hill Road, running a group of conference attendees between the Palo Alto Marriott (4000 Fabian Way, Palo Alto, CA 94303) and the Convention Center in Santa Clara, or organizing a wine tour down to the Santa Cruz Mountains, an 18 passenger minibus can help keep everyone on the same schedule and in the same vehicle. You set the itinerary.
You plan the stops. You enjoy the ride! And through this network, you can compare multiple 18 passenger minibuses from transportation providers serving Palo Alto side by side — so you can compare beyond a single company's listed availability on your date.
