18 Passenger Minibus
Choose a 18-passenger minibus in Porterville is perfect for any mid-size group that needs something larger than a van but smaller and more nimble than a full-size charter bus.

It’s also frequently used for airport transfers to Fresno or Bakersfield, multi-day corporate events, and brewery or winery tours into the Sierra foothills. Each bus is backed by 24/7 support, flexible rental terms, and optional custom branding or wrapping.
