Amenities Available on our 18 Passenger Minibuses in Elgin
Wi-Fi
Stay connected on the road with free onboard WiFi, available on all of our 18-passenger minibuses. Your passengers can check email, stream music, or post updates to social media while riding between destinations in Elgin, Schaumburg, or Arlington Heights. If you’re planning a corporate shuttle to Chicago O’Hare International Airport or a field trip to the Gail Borden Public Library, having reliable internet access will keep everyone productive and entertained. Just let us know if you need extra bandwidth for video conferencing or large downloads—we can customize the WiFi package to fit your group’s needs.
Onboard Restrooms
Keep your group comfortable and on schedule with an onboard restroom, available on select 18-passenger minibuses. While most trips within Elgin or nearby suburbs won’t require a bathroom break, it’s a convenient option for longer drives to downtown Chicago, Milwaukee, or Starved Rock State Park. The restroom is compact but functional, with a toilet and hand sanitizer dispenser. If you know your group will need this feature, please request it when booking—otherwise, we’ll assign a standard minibus without a restroom.
Onboard TVs
Entertain your passengers with flat-screen TVs and DVD players, standard on most 18-passenger minibuses. You can play movies, show slideshows, or display safety instructions during the ride. This is especially popular for youth groups traveling to Six Flags Great America, church outings to Willow Creek Community Church, or wedding parties heading to reception venues in Barrington or Crystal Lake. Bring your own DVDs or ask us about streaming options through the onboard WiFi.
Power Outlets
Keep phones, tablets, and laptops charged with multiple power outlets and USB ports throughout the cabin. Each row of seats has access to at least one charging point, so no one has to worry about running out of battery during the trip. This is essential for business travelers commuting to offices in Elk Grove Village, students working on assignments, or anyone who wants to stay connected while in transit. If your group has specific power requirements, such as medical devices or audiovisual equipment, let us know and we’ll make sure the bus can accommodate them.
Climate Control with Personal Air Vents
Stay comfortable in any weather with advanced climate control systems and personal air vents above each seat. Whether you’re traveling during a summer heatwave or a winter cold snap, the minibus will maintain a consistent temperature throughout the cabin. Passengers can adjust the airflow to their liking, ensuring everyone stays happy and relaxed. This feature is especially appreciated on longer trips to Navy Pier, Brookfield Zoo, or Ravinia Festival, where comfort makes all the difference.
Leather Seating
Ride in style with plush leather seats that recline and offer plenty of legroom. The upholstery is both attractive and easy to clean, making it ideal for formal events like weddings, galas, or corporate dinners at The Haight or Grand Victoria Casino. Armrests and headrests add extra support, while wide aisles make it easy to move around the cabin. If you prefer cloth seats for budget or comfort reasons, we have those available as well—just ask when booking.
Overhead & Undercarriage Storage
Store bags, coats, and small items in the overhead racks above each row of seats, freeing up floor space and keeping the aisle clear. For larger luggage, sports equipment, or musical instruments, some models offer undercarriage storage compartments accessible from outside the bus. This makes it easy to transport everything your group needs without sacrificing comfort inside the cabin. Whether you’re packing coolers for a picnic at Lords Park, suitcases for a weekend getaway, or props for a theater performance at Hemmens Cultural Center, there’s room for it all.
