Amenities Available on our 18 Passenger Minibuses in Bend
Wi-Fi
Stay connected on the road with 4G/5G Wi-Fi available on most 18-passenger minibuses, perfect for checking email, streaming music, or sharing photos during longer drives to Portland, Eugene, or Mount Bachelor.
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 between Bend and destinations like Mount Bachelor, Sunriver, or Redmond, reducing the need for unscheduled restroom breaks. If you need a minibus with a restroom, just ask—our team will make sure you get a vehicle that keeps your passengers comfortable.
Onboard TVs
Most 18-passenger minibuses include one or two flat-screen monitors mounted at the front or mid-cabin. These screens can play DVDs, connect to a laptop via HDMI, or display presentations for corporate groups. Sports teams can review game footage, while school or tour groups stay entertained with movies during longer drives across Central Oregon. Ask about specific video input options when booking.
Power Outlets
Keep devices charged with multiple 110V outlets and USB ports located throughout the cabin. Our Grech and Turtle Top minibuses offer both standard and USB-A/C outlets along the walls, making it easy for everyone to stay powered up on the go.
Climate Control with Personal Air Vents
Advanced HVAC systems ensure the cabin stays comfortable year-round, with powerful air conditioning for summer and efficient heating for winter trips over mountain passes. Many models feature personal air vents above each row so passengers can adjust airflow to their liking. The driver can set and maintain a consistent temperature throughout the cabin, ensuring everyone stays comfortable regardless of the weather outside.
Leather Seating
Enjoy comfortable reclining seats upholstered in durable cloth or optional leatherette/vinyl. High-back seats with headrests provide support for longer rides, and armrests between seats add extra comfort. Seating is typically arranged in pairs on either side of the aisle, allowing groups to sit together and relax during the journey.
Overhead & Undercarriage Storage
Store backpacks, jackets, and small bags in the overhead parcel racks that run along both sides of the cabin. Larger items like suitcases, sports equipment, or musical instruments can be placed in the rear cargo area. While most 18-passenger minibuses don’t have full undercarriage bays like a motorcoach, there’s ample storage space at the back of the vehicle for bulky items.
