Amenities Available on our 18 Passenger Minibuses in Long Island
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 to Melville, streaming music during a wedding trip to East End vineyards, or keeping students entertained on school routes across Nassau and Suffolk County.
Onboard Restrooms
Many of our 18-passenger minibuses can be equipped with a half-bathroom (toilet and hand sanitizer) at the rear of the coach. This is ideal for longer trips—such as sports team travel to East End tournaments, corporate outings to Manhattan, or wedding shuttles between ceremony and reception venues—reducing unscheduled stops and keeping your schedule on track. Please note that not every minibus has a restroom; be sure to request one when booking if this amenity is required.
Onboard TVs
Flat-screen monitors are standard on most 18-passenger minibuses, with optional DVD/Blu-ray players and HDMI inputs. Great for team video reviews on the way to a game in Hempstead, corporate presentations en route to Manhattan, or streaming movies on longer trips up I-495.
Power Outlets
Every 18-passenger minibus comes with multiple 110V power outlets and USB ports—either at every row or integrated into the seats—so passengers can charge laptops, tablets, and phones while on the move. This is especially useful for business travelers heading to meetings in Melville or Hauppauge, students needing to keep devices powered on school trips, or event guests wanting to share photos and stay connected during the journey. Never worry about running out of battery on the road.
Climate Control with Personal Air Vents
Advanced HVAC systems ensure the cabin stays comfortable year-round, with powerful air conditioning for humid summer trips to Jones Beach or Montauk and efficient heating for winter outings. Individual air vents allow passengers to adjust airflow to their liking, maintaining a consistent temperature throughout the bus.
Leather Seating
Enjoy plush, high-back seats upholstered in either cloth or optional leatherette/vinyl. Reclining backs, padded headrests, and folding armrests provide comfort for longer journeys—whether you’re heading to a corporate event in Melville, a wedding in the Hamptons, or a sports tournament upstate.
Overhead & Undercarriage Storage
Store backpacks, coats, and small bags in the spacious overhead parcel racks that run along both sides of the aisle. Larger items—such as athletic gear, luggage, or equipment cases—can be placed in the rear cargo area. While most 18-passenger minibuses do not have full undercarriage bays like a motorcoach, there is ample storage at the back of the cabin for bulky items. This setup is ideal for groups traveling with extra baggage, making it easy to access belongings while keeping the seating area uncluttered.
