Amenities Available on our 18 Passenger Minibuses in South Bend
Wi-Fi
Stay connected on the road with onboard WiFi! Our 18-passenger minibuses can come equipped with wireless internet access so passengers can check email, stream music, or browse the web while traveling between South Bend and destinations like Chicago or Indianapolis.
Onboard Restrooms
For longer trips out of town, having a restroom onboard makes a big difference. Some of our 18-passenger minibuses include a small lavatory at the rear of the cabin—perfect for avoiding unnecessary pit stops when heading to places like Purdue University or downtown Chicago.
Onboard TVs
Keep everyone entertained with flat-screen TVs and DVD players built into the bus. Great for showing training videos during corporate outings or letting kids watch movies on school field trips to the Potawatomi Zoo or Studebaker National Museum.
Power Outlets
Every row has access to power outlets or USB charging ports so phones, tablets, and laptops stay fully charged throughout your journey. Ideal for business groups needing to work en route or students keeping devices powered up during long rides.
Climate Control with Personal Air Vents
Enjoy a comfortable ride year-round thanks to advanced climate control systems. Passengers can adjust personal air vents above each seat for customized airflow—important during hot Midwest summers or chilly winter days crossing Lake Michigan snow belts.
Leather Seating
Most 18-passenger minibuses feature high-back leather or leatherette seats that recline slightly for added comfort. The upholstery is easy to clean and gives the interior a professional look suitable for executive travel or VIP guest shuttles.
Overhead & Undercarriage Storage
Store backpacks, coats, and small bags in overhead racks running the length of the cabin. Larger items like suitcases, coolers, or sports equipment can go in an undercarriage compartment—freeing up aisle space and keeping the cabin clutter-free.
