Onboard Restrooms
Many of our 18-passenger minibuses include a compact onboard restroom, located at the rear of the coach for easy access. This facility is ideal for longer trips between Tyler and cities like Dallas or Shreveport, or when traveling with children or seniors who may need frequent breaks. The restroom is equipped with a toilet, hand sanitizer dispenser, and ventilation fan to maintain cleanliness and comfort. While it's designed for quick convenience rather than extended use, having a restroom on board helps reduce unscheduled stops and keeps your trip running on schedule.

Onboard TVs
Our 18-passenger minibuses can be equipped with multiple flat-screen monitors mounted throughout the cabin, allowing passengers to watch movies, display presentations, or view live TV during the journey. DVD players and HDMI inputs are available for connecting laptops or gaming consoles, making it easy to entertain sports teams, school groups, or corporate travelers. Screen a favorite film on the way to a tournament, share a wedding slideshow en route to the reception, or review training videos before a business meeting. The integrated sound system ensures clear audio, and larger monitors are available on request for groups with specific viewing needs.

Power Outlets
Keep all your devices charged with convenient power outlets and USB ports located at every seating row on our 18-passenger minibuses. Whether you're heading to a corporate event at Green Acres Baptist Church, a wedding at Villa di Felicita, or a game at CHRISTUS Trinity Mother Frances Rose Stadium, you can plug in laptops, tablets, and phones to stay powered up throughout the trip. The combination of 110V outlets and USB-A/C ports ensures compatibility with all modern devices. Never worry about running out of battery on longer trips to Dallas or Shreveport—there’s ample power for everyone on board.

Climate Control with Personal Air Vents
Beat the East Texas heat with advanced climate control systems that keep the cabin cool and comfortable year-round. Each minibus features powerful air conditioning with personal vents above every seat, allowing passengers to adjust airflow to their liking. Heading to an outdoor event at Bergfeld Park or the Texas Rose Horse Park? You'll arrive refreshed even on the hottest summer days. The system also provides efficient heating during colder months, ensuring a pleasant temperature regardless of the weather outside. Consistent climate control makes the journey comfortable for everyone, whether you're dressed casually or in formal attire.

Leather Seating
Travel in comfort with high-back, reclining seats upholstered in durable cloth or optional leatherette for a more upscale feel. The ergonomic design provides excellent support for longer journeys, and padded armrests add to the overall comfort. Perfect for relaxing on the way to a wedding at The Villa Tyler or a business meeting downtown, the seats can be configured with or without headrests depending on your preference. Easy-to-clean materials ensure the cabin stays looking fresh, even after a full day on the road. Spacious seating arrangements allow groups to sit together and converse easily during the trip.

Overhead & Undercarriage Storage
Bring all your gear along with generous storage options both inside and outside the cabin. Overhead racks are perfect for stowing backpacks, jackets, and smaller items within easy reach. Larger bags, coolers, or equipment cases can be stored in rear cargo area, freeing up legroom in the seating area. Traveling with luggage for a trip out of Tyler Pounds Regional Airport, or bringing sports gear to a game at Rose Stadium? There’s space for everything. Efficient loading and unloading make it easy to access your belongings at any stop along the route.
