Every 18-passenger minibus includes multiple 110V power outlets and USB ports throughout the cabin. Passengers can charge laptops, tablets, and phones from any seat, making it easy to stay powered up during longer trips or busy event schedules.
Climate Control with Personal Air Vents
Advanced climate control keeps the cabin comfortable year-round, with powerful air conditioning for hot summer days and heating for cooler evenings. Individual air vents allow passengers to adjust airflow at their seat for personalized comfort.
Leather Seating
Choose between standard cloth upholstery or upgraded leatherette seating for a more upscale look and feel. High-back seats with headrests provide excellent support, and optional reclining backs add extra comfort for longer journeys.
