Amenities Available on our 18 Passenger Minibuses in Des Plaines
Wi-Fi
Stay connected on the road with 4G/5G Wi-Fi available on most 18-passenger minibuses, perfect for checking email, streaming music, or sharing photos during trips to downtown Chicago or O’Hare. Bandwidth can be adjusted for larger groups or video calls.
Onboard Restrooms
Many of our 18-passenger minibuses can be equipped with a half-bathroom (toilet and hand sanitizer) at the rear of the cabin. This is ideal for longer trips between Des Plaines and downtown Chicago, sporting events, or airport transfers, reducing the need for unscheduled stops and keeping your schedule on track.
Onboard TVs
Our minibuses can be equipped with one or two flat-screen monitors (15”–19”) mounted at the front or mid-cabin. These screens support DVD playback, HDMI input for laptops/game consoles, and USB media, making it easy to show corporate videos, movie entertainment, or team highlight reels during longer trips.
Power Outlets
Every 18-passenger minibus comes with multiple 110V power outlets and USB-A/C ports distributed throughout the cabin. Passengers can easily charge laptops, tablets, and smartphones from their seats, ensuring devices stay powered for business, entertainment, or navigation apps.
Climate Control with Personal Air Vents
Advanced HVAC systems provide consistent heating and cooling across the entire cabin. Ceiling-mounted personal air vents allow each passenger to adjust airflow and temperature to their preference, ensuring comfort during hot summers or cold winters typical of the Des Plaines area.
Leather Seating
Choose between durable cloth upholstery or upgraded leatherette/vinyl seating. High-back seats with headrests and recline function provide excellent support for short city transfers or longer highway journeys, contributing to a comfortable and relaxing ride.
Overhead & Undercarriage Storage
Store backpacks, coats, and small bags in the spacious overhead parcel racks running along both sides of the aisle. Larger luggage, equipment cases, or sports gear can be placed in the rear cargo area, which is easily accessible and separate from the seating area.
