Amenities Available on our 18 Passenger Minibuses in Independence
Wi-Fi
Every 18-passenger minibus comes with high-speed 4G/5G Wi-Fi as a standard amenity, perfect for staying connected on longer routes between Independence and downtown Kansas City or during airport transfers to MCI. Passengers can check email, stream music, join video calls, or browse social media without using their data plan. The network supports multiple devices simultaneously, ensuring reliable connectivity even when the bus is full. This feature is especially popular for corporate groups heading to meetings, wedding parties sharing photos in real time, or students needing online access during school trips.
Onboard Restrooms
Several models of our 18-passenger minibus can be equipped with an onboard restroom, making them ideal for longer trips or routes with limited stopping options. This amenity is especially useful for groups traveling between Independence and destinations like Columbia, St. Louis, or rural event venues. The restroom is located at the rear of the bus and is regularly cleaned and serviced for passenger comfort. Having a restroom onboard helps keep the schedule on track by reducing unscheduled stops and is a popular feature for sports teams, wedding guests, and corporate travelers.
Onboard TVs
Our 18-passenger minibuses are equipped with multiple flat-screen TVs mounted throughout the cabin. These screens can play DVDs, connect to laptops via HDMI, or display presentations and videos stored on USB drives. This is ideal for entertaining sports teams with game footage, showing a movie to school groups, or running a slideshow during a wedding party transfer. The audio is integrated with the bus’s sound system for clear playback. Having onboard TVs helps pass the time on longer trips and keeps everyone engaged with custom video content.
Power Outlets
To keep everyone’s devices charged, our 18-passenger minibuses feature multiple 110V power outlets and USB ports throughout the cabin. Laptops, tablets, and phones can stay powered up for the entire trip, which is essential for business travelers heading to downtown meetings, students on academic outings, or event guests coordinating plans. Devices can be plugged in at every row of seats so there’s no competition for charging spots. Staying connected and fully charged makes the journey smoother and more productive for everyone on board.
Climate Control with Personal Air Vents
Advanced climate control ensures the cabin stays comfortable year-round, whether it’s a humid summer day or a chilly winter evening. Passengers can adjust personal air vents above each seat to direct airflow as needed. The system quickly cools or heats the interior to maintain a consistent temperature front to back. Staying comfortable in any weather makes the ride more pleasant and is especially important for groups dressed up for special events or coming off athletic fields.
Leather Seating
Comfortable, high-back seats upholstered in easy-to-clean vinyl or optional leatherette provide a relaxing ride for all passengers. The seats recline for added comfort, have padded headrests, and are contoured for support on longer journeys. Armrests and adjustable seating positions make it easy to relax, read, or catch a quick nap while on the road. Quality seating finishes give the interior a professional look and feel, suitable for any type of group outing.
Overhead & Undercarriage Storage
Ample storage space is available both inside and outside the passenger cabin. Overhead racks run along both sides of the aisle for stowing backpacks, jackets, and smaller bags within easy reach. Larger items like suitcases, sports equipment, or presentation materials can be placed in undercarriage compartments accessible from outside the bus. Having plenty of storage keeps the aisle clear and ensures that all gear arrives safely with the group.
