Amenities Commonly Found on 18 Passenger Minibus Rentals
What makes the 18-passenger minibuses available through the network so great for a Gainesville trip is the range of amenities you can actually choose from! Every model comes with air conditioning and climate control — a must when Florida summer heat kicks in between stops — and many builds run a secondary rear AC system so the back row stays as cool as the front. Seats are high-back reclining in leather or cloth depending on the model, with extra legroom so nobody arrives stiff after a long ride.
Overhead compartments handle carry-ons and day bags (one bag per person), and a rear luggage area fits roller bags and duffels for groups with more gear. You'll also find power outlets and USB charging ports, flat-screen monitors with DVD or HDMI input, a PA system with wireless mic for tour guides or group leaders, and Bluetooth/AUX stereo so you can run your own playlist from Gainesville to wherever the trip takes you. WiFi is available on many models — great for the team that wants to stay productive on the road.
Onboard restrooms are available on select models, and ADA-accessible vehicles with rear or side wheelchair lifts are available on request. Just mention it when you fill out your quote!
