Amenities Available on our 18 Passenger Minibuses in Dayton
Wi-Fi
Stay connected on the road with optional 4G/5G Wi-Fi available on most 18-passenger minibuses, perfect for checking email during a corporate shuttle from downtown Dayton to WPAFB, streaming music on a school trip to the Boonshoft Museum, or sharing photos from a wedding in Greene County. Ask your reservation specialist to include Wi-Fi when you book—coverage is strong and reliable across I-75, I-70, and all major routes in the Dayton region.
Onboard Restrooms
Many of our 18-passenger minibuses come equipped with a compact onboard restroom, located at the rear of the coach, making them ideal for longer trips out of Dayton or events where frequent stops aren’t practical. This amenity is especially useful for sports teams traveling to away games in Cincinnati or Columbus, wedding guests heading to rural venues, or corporate groups on tight schedules. The restroom is designed for convenience and quick access, helping keep your trip on schedule while providing added comfort for all passengers. If a restroom is essential for your trip, be sure to request a minibus model that includes this feature when you book.
Onboard TVs
Keep everyone entertained with multiple flat-screen TVs placed throughout the cabin, ideal for showing a movie during a sports team trip to Cincinnati, running a video presentation for corporate passengers heading to the Dayton Convention Center, or letting kids watch DVDs on a school outing to Carillon Historical Park. Screens support HDMI/DVD input and are mounted for easy viewing from any seat.
Power Outlets
Every 18-passenger minibus comes equipped with 110V power outlets and USB ports at each row, so passengers can keep phones, tablets, and laptops charged throughout the trip. This is essential for business travelers heading to meetings downtown, students working on assignments during a school charter, or event guests needing to power devices en route to venues like the Dayton Convention Center or UD Arena. Larger devices can plug into the standard outlets, while USB ports handle smaller electronics, ensuring everyone stays powered up from departure to arrival.
Climate Control with Personal Air Vents
Dayton weather can be unpredictable, but your ride will always be comfortable thanks to advanced climate control systems on our 18-passenger minibuses. Powerful A/C keeps the cabin cool during humid Midwest summers, while efficient heating ensures warmth in the winter months. Each passenger can adjust airflow with personal vents located above the seats, allowing for individual comfort preferences. Whether you’re stuck in traffic on I-75 or cruising down rural routes in Greene County, the temperature inside the minibus will remain consistent and pleasant from start to finish.
Leather Seating
Our 18-passenger minibuses feature high-back seats upholstered in either cloth or upgraded leatherette vinyl, providing both comfort and durability for longer journeys. The high-back design offers excellent head and neck support, while optional padded armrests add to the overall comfort. For groups seeking a more upscale feel—such as corporate clients or wedding parties—full leatherette upholstery is available and easy to clean. All seats recline slightly to allow passengers to relax or even catch a quick nap during the trip. If you have a specific preference for seat material, let your reservation specialist know when booking.
Overhead & Undercarriage Storage
Bring all your gear along with generous storage options on our 18-passenger minibuses. Overhead parcel racks run the length of the cabin for backpacks and small bags, while larger luggage, sports equipment, or presentation materials can be stowed in rear cargo area. There’s plenty of room for everyone’s belongings without crowding the seating area.
