Amenities Available on our 18 Passenger Minibuses in Birmingham
Wi-Fi
Stay connected on the road with 4G/5G Wi-Fi available on most 18-passenger minibuses, perfect for checking email on a corporate shuttle from downtown Birmingham to the Colonnade, streaming music during a wedding trip to The Barn at Shady Lane, or sharing photos after a game at Protective Stadium. Ask your reservation specialist about data limits and coverage in rural areas.
Onboard Restrooms
Many of our 18-passenger minibuses can be equipped with a half-bathroom (toilet and hand sanitizer) at the rear of the cabin. This is ideal for longer trips—such as school outings to Montgomery, sports-team travel to Tuscaloosa, or wedding shuttles to rural venues—reducing the need for unscheduled restroom breaks. Be sure to request a minibus with a restroom when you book, as availability may vary by model.
Onboard TVs
Flat-screen monitors are standard on most 18-passenger minibuses, with screens mounted at the front and mid-cabin. DVD/Blu-ray players and HDMI inputs allow groups to watch movies, run presentations, or review game footage while traveling. Bluetooth-enabled sound systems let you play audio through the bus speakers, making it easy to share video content or create a custom playlist for the trip.
Power Outlets
Keep devices charged with multiple 110V power outlets and USB ports located throughout the cabin. Laptops, tablets, and phones can stay powered up for the entire journey, making it easy to work on the go, stay connected with friends, or keep kids entertained with electronic devices.
Climate Control with Personal Air Vents
Advanced HVAC systems ensure the cabin stays comfortable in any weather. Powerful air conditioning combats the summer heat, while efficient heating keeps the interior warm during colder months. Individual air vents above each seat allow passengers to adjust airflow to their liking, ensuring a pleasant environment for everyone on board.
Leather Seating
Enjoy comfortable reclining seats upholstered in cloth or optional leatherette/vinyl. High-back seats with headrests provide good support for longer rides, and armrests make it easy to relax or catch a quick nap. The seating layout can be customized for your group, with options for forward-facing rows or a more spacious arrangement if needed.
Overhead & Undercarriage Storage
Store backpacks, jackets, and small bags in the overhead parcel racks that run along both sides of the cabin. Larger items—such as luggage, sports equipment, or presentation materials—can be placed in the rear cargo area. There’s plenty of storage space for all your gear, whether you’re heading to the airport, a sporting event, or a corporate function.
