Amenities Available on our 18 Passenger Minibuses in Owensboro
Wi-Fi
Every 18-passenger minibus comes standard with high-speed 4G/5G Wi-Fi supporting up to 30 devices simultaneously—ideal for video calls, streaming, or online work during longer trips to Evansville, Bowling Green, or campus shuttles at Brescia and KWC. The network is secured with WPA2 encryption, offers optional content filtering for schools or youth groups, and can be upgraded to a dual-carrier setup for even faster speeds or stronger rural coverage on routes like US-60 and Audubon Parkway. Guests can easily connect their phones, tablets, or laptops within seconds of boarding, ensuring everyone stays productive or entertained throughout the journey.
Onboard Restrooms
Most 18-passenger minibuses can be equipped with an onboard half-bathroom (toilet and hand sanitizer station) located at the rear of the cabin, making them ideal for longer trips or events where restroom access is limited. This amenity is especially useful for sports teams traveling to away games, wedding guests en route to rural venues, or corporate groups on extended shuttles between Owensboro and nearby cities like Evansville or Madisonville. The restroom is designed for quick, convenient use while the vehicle is in motion, helping to minimize unscheduled stops and keep the trip on schedule.
Onboard TVs
Flat-screen HD monitors are mounted at the front and mid-cabin areas of the minibus, supporting DVD/Blu-ray playback, HDMI input for laptops or gaming consoles, and USB media. Perfect for team video reviews, corporate presentations, or movie entertainment on longer routes, the screens deliver clear visuals visible from every seat, with audio integrated into the vehicle’s sound system.
Power Outlets
Each seating row includes both 110V AC outlets and USB-A/C ports, allowing passengers to charge laptops, tablets, and smartphones simultaneously. The electrical system supports high-draw devices, ensuring that everyone can stay powered up for work or entertainment without tripping breakers or searching for available sockets.
Climate Control with Personal Air Vents
The advanced HVAC system maintains a consistent interior temperature regardless of outside weather, with separate zones for front and rear sections. Individual air vents above each seat let passengers fine-tune airflow, keeping the cabin comfortable during hot Kentucky summers or chilly winter months.
Leather Seating
High-back seats upholstered in durable leatherette or optional genuine leather provide both comfort and easy cleaning. The seats recline, offer adjustable headrests, and include folding armrests, making it easy to relax, read, or nap during the journey. Upholstery color can be selected to match the event.
Overhead & Undercarriage Storage
Carry-on bags, backpacks, and coats can be stowed in the spacious overhead parcel racks running along both sides of the aisle. Larger items such as suitcases, sports equipment, or presentation materials can be placed in the rear cargo area—accessible from inside the cabin—or in optional exterior compartments beneath the floor.
