Amenities Available on our 18 Passenger Minibuses in Palatine
Wi-Fi
Stay connected on the road with 4G/5G Wi-Fi available on all 18-passenger minibuses. Perfect for checking email, streaming music, or catching up on social media during trips to downtown Chicago or O'Hare Airport. Ask your reservation specialist about data packages and coverage 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 vehicle. This is ideal for longer trips into Chicago, sporting event shuttles, or any itinerary where restroom breaks may be limited. Be sure to request a model with a restroom when booking.
Onboard TVs
Flat-screen monitors are standard on most 18-passenger minibuses, with options for one or two screens placed at the front and mid-cabin. DVD players and HDMI inputs allow groups to watch movies, display presentations, or connect gaming consoles for entertainment during the journey.
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 trip, making it easy to work or relax without worrying about battery life.
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. Individual air vents above each seat allow passengers to adjust airflow to their liking, maintaining a consistent temperature throughout the bus.
Leather Seating
Enjoy the ride in plush, high-back seats upholstered in either cloth or optional leatherette. Reclining backs, padded headrests, and folding armrests provide excellent support for short shuttles or longer trips. The seating layout allows groups to relax and converse comfortably.
Overhead & Undercarriage Storage
Store backpacks, coats, and small bags in the spacious overhead parcel racks that run along both sides of the aisle. For larger items, some minibus models offer rear cargo areas or undercarriage storage bays. This is ideal for luggage, sports equipment, or presentation materials.
