restroom on minibus

Onboard Restrooms

Several of our 18-passenger minibus models can be equipped with a full-size onboard restroom, located at the rear of the cabin for easy access. This amenity is essential for longer trips—such as sports team travel to games in Wilkes-Barre or Stroudsburg, corporate shuttles stuck in I-81 traffic, or wedding guests coming from out of town—minimizing unscheduled stops and keeping your schedule on track. The restroom is fully enclosed for privacy and includes hand sanitizer or a small sink area. Be sure to request a minibus with a restroom when booking, as availability may vary by exact vehicle type.

onboard tv on minibus

Onboard TVs

Our 18-passenger minibuses can be fitted with multiple flat-screen TVs—either ceiling-mounted or integrated into the front bulkhead—supporting DVD playback and HDMI input for laptops or gaming consoles. Ideal for showing training videos during corporate transfers, screening movies on school trips to Lackawanna Coal Mine or Montage Mountain, or reviewing game footage for traveling sports teams. Larger screens (up to 32") are available on select models, and Bluetooth audio lets you connect sound directly to the bus speakers. Entertain your group with custom content or let everyone unwind with a favorite film—just ask about screen configuration when you book.

Power outlets on minibus

Power Outlets

Stay powered up on the road with multiple 110V AC outlets and USB-A/C ports conveniently located throughout the cabin. Our minibuses are equipped with at least four 110V outlets—perfect for charging laptops and larger devices—and additional USB ports at every seating row for phones and tablets. Whether your group needs to keep devices charged during a corporate shuttle to downtown Scranton, a school trip to the Steamtown National Historic Site, or a longer journey down I-81, you’ll have ample power options. Never worry about running out of battery before you reach your destination—every device stays fully charged from departure to arrival.

air conditioning on minibus

Climate Control with Personal Air Vents

Scranton weather can be unpredictable, but your ride will always be comfortable thanks to advanced climate control. Each minibus features powerful heating and air conditioning systems with individual air vents above every seat, allowing passengers to adjust airflow and temperature to their liking. This is especially important for groups traveling in formal attire to weddings at venues like the Scranton Cultural Center, or for athletes cooling down after a game. The driver can fine-tune the overall cabin climate, ensuring a consistent and pleasant environment from the front to the back of the bus, regardless of the season.

Leather seats on minibus

Leather Seating

Arrive in style and comfort with plush, high-back seats upholstered in premium leatherette or optional full-leather trim. The seating is designed for ergonomic support on longer journeys, with reclining backs, padded headrests, and optional fold-down armrests. Leatherette upholstery offers a sophisticated appearance while being easy to clean—ideal for wedding guests, business travelers, or sports teams. Seating can be configured in forward-facing rows or arranged for extra legroom, ensuring everyone has a comfortable spot to relax, read, or catch up on emails while on the move.

luggage compartments on a minibus

Overhead & Undercarriage Storage

Bring all your gear along with generous storage options both inside and outside the cabin. Overhead parcel racks run the length of the seating area, perfect for stowing backpacks, jackets, and smaller bags within easy reach. Larger items can be stored in rear luggage compartments or, on select models, in undercarriage bays accessible from outside the bus. This setup is ideal for airport transfers to AVP with rolling suitcases, school trips with project materials, or sports teams carrying duffel bags and equipment. All storage areas are secure and spacious, making it easy to keep the aisle clear and the cabin organized.
