Wi-Fi
Every 18-passenger minibus comes standard with high-speed 4G/5G Wi-Fi, perfect for checking email on a corporate shuttle to the I-270 Tech Corridor, streaming music on a student trip to Bohrer Park, or joining video calls en route to downtown Rockville.

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—ideal for longer trips down I-270, youth sports travel, or wedding shuttles where quick access matters. The restroom is ventilated, easy to clean, and helps cut down on unscheduled stops between Gaithersburg, Bethesda, and Frederick. Be sure to request a minibus with a restroom when you book, as availability may vary by model and build year.
Onboard TVs
Stay entertained or informed with two flat-screen HD monitors mounted at the front and mid-cabin of the minibus, available on most Grech, Turtle Top, and Champion models. These screens can display DVD movies, HDMI presentations from a laptop, or USB video files—perfect for team briefings, training videos, or keeping kids occupied with a favorite film during longer drives. Sound plays through the cabin speakers for clear audio throughout the bus.
Power Outlets
Keep every device charged with multiple 110V AC outlets and USB-A/C ports located throughout the cabin—essential for business travelers heading to Shady Grove Medical Center, students returning from a field trip to Seneca Creek State Park, or guests prepping for a wedding at Kentlands Mansion. Larger devices like laptops can plug in directly, while phones and tablets stay powered up in every row. You’ll never run out of battery before reaching your destination.
Climate Control with Personal Air Vents
Advanced climate control keeps the cabin comfortable year-round, with powerful A/C for humid Maryland summers and efficient heating for chilly winter days. Guests can adjust personal air vents above each seat to direct airflow and set their preferred temperature. The system maintains a consistent environment from front to back, ensuring everyone stays cool or warm regardless of the weather outside.
Leather Seating
All 18-passenger minibuses feature high-back seats upholstered in premium leatherette—available in black, gray, or two-tone finishes. The material is both comfortable and easy to clean, making it ideal for formal events, corporate travel, or groups with children. Optional upgrades include full leather upholstery, reclining backs, and adjustable headrests for added comfort on longer journeys.
Overhead & Undercarriage Storage
Bring all your gear with generous storage options both inside and outside the cabin. Overhead parcel racks run the length of the interior for backpacks, jackets, and small bags, while larger items can be stowed in rear cargo area. There’s room for sports equipment, musical instruments, or luggage for an 18-person group heading to BWI or a weekend tournament.
