Amenities Available on our 18 Passenger Minibuses in Gilroy
Wi-Fi
Every 18-passenger minibus comes standard with high-speed 4G/5G Wi-Fi supporting 25+ devices—perfect for business travelers heading to Silicon Valley meetings, students streaming video on school trips to Gavilan College, or wedding guests sharing photos en route to Fortino Winery. The network covers all of Gilroy, plus rural routes toward Hollister, Watsonville, and San Jose.
Onboard Restrooms
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 out of Gilroy. This is perfect for school groups heading to outdoor venues, corporate travelers on Highway 101, or wedding guests returning from vineyard events. The restroom is ventilated, easy to clean, and accessible while the bus is moving.
Onboard TVs
Flat-screen HD monitors are mounted throughout the cabin—typically one up front and one mid-aisle—supporting DVD playback and HDMI input for laptops or game consoles. Great for sports teams reviewing footage, corporate groups watching presentations, or kids’ groups enjoying movies on longer routes.
Power Outlets
Each seating row includes multiple 110V AC outlets and USB-A/C ports, so passengers can charge laptops, tablets, and phones simultaneously. Essential for business groups heading to Silicon Valley meetings, students on academic trips, or event attendees keeping devices powered.
Climate Control with Personal Air Vents
Advanced HVAC system maintains a comfortable temperature year-round, with personal air vents above each seat for individual adjustment. Whether it’s a hot summer day during the Garlic Festival or a chilly evening return from a coastal outing, everyone stays comfortable.
Leather Seating
All 18-passenger minibuses feature plush, high-back seats upholstered in premium vinyl or optional leatherette. Reclining backs, padded headrests, and flip-down armrests make it easy to relax or nap. The upholstery is durable, easy to clean, and comfortable for short or long trips.
Overhead & Undercarriage Storage
Carry-on bags, backpacks, and jackets can be stowed in spacious overhead racks running the length of the cabin. Larger items—such as sports equipment, luggage, or presentation materials—fit in exterior undercarriage bays accessible at each stop. There’s ample room for all your gear.
