There’s Wi-Fi onboard, upgraded storage options, and the best customer support in the industry backing you up 24/7/365. If you’re moving people anywhere in or around Austin—downtown, the Domain, UT campus, Bergstrom Airport, Circuit of the Americas, you name it—this is the minibus you want.

Amenities Available on our 18 Passenger Minibuses in Austin
Wi-Fi
This minibus comes equipped with a fast, reliable Wi-Fi hotspot that keeps your entire group connected anywhere in the Austin area—including downtown, the UT campus, tech corridors, and even outlying venues. Stream music, check email, join Zoom calls, or upload photos in real time while you travel. The wireless router supports multiple devices at once and is powerful enough for both work and entertainment applications. Stay productive and online whether you’re heading to the airport, a corporate event, or a festival.
Onboard Restrooms
Minibuses do NOT have restrooms, so plan accordingly for longer trips around Austin and Central Texas. For short local routes—like downtown shuttles, campus transfers, or corporate moves between office parks—lack of a restroom isn’t usually an issue. But if you’re heading out to Circuit of the Americas, a Hill Country wedding venue, or anywhere that’s more than an hour from the city center, you’ll need to schedule regular comfort stops into your itinerary. Our team can help you identify convenient places to pause along major routes like I-35, US-290, or SH-71. If onboard restroom access is a must-have for your group, ask about upgrading to one of our full-size charter buses instead.
Onboard TVs
Keep everyone entertained and informed with multiple flat-screen monitors mounted throughout the cabin—perfect for streaming video, displaying presentations, or running custom content during your trip. Each screen is positioned for clear viewing from every seat and can be synced together to show the same program simultaneously. Plug in a laptop, media player, or thumb drive using HDMI and USB inputs to play movies, slideshows, or training videos directly through the system. Built-in speakers deliver crisp audio, while optional headphone jacks allow for private listening without disturbing other passengers. Whether you’re hosting a corporate seminar, school outing, or wedding party, these displays ensure there’s never a dull moment on board.
Power Outlets
Stay powered up on the go with multiple 110V AC outlets and USB charging ports installed throughout the cabin—ideal for keeping phones, tablets, laptops, and other devices fully charged during longer trips. Outlets are conveniently located near each row of seats so passengers can plug in without having to share or rotate devices. Whether you’re catching up on work emails, streaming video, or just topping off your battery before arriving at your destination, you’ll have all the power you need right at your fingertips. No more fighting over limited plugs or arriving with dead electronics—everyone stays connected and ready to roll.
Climate Control with Personal Air Vents
Beat the Texas heat with a powerful dual-zone HVAC system that keeps the entire cabin cool and comfortable—even during brutal Austin summers. Individual air vents above each seat allow passengers to adjust airflow to their liking, while oversized compressors and condensers ensure consistent temperatures from front to back. The system also includes heating for chilly winter mornings and rapid defrost settings for foggy windows. Advanced filtration helps remove dust, pollen, and allergens from incoming air, creating a healthier environment for everyone on board. Whether you’re stuck in downtown traffic or cruising down I-35, you’ll appreciate the reliable climate control this minibus provides.
Leather Seating
Ride in style and comfort with plush high-back seats upholstered in premium synthetic leather—offering the look and feel of real leather with added durability and easy maintenance. The contoured design provides excellent lumbar support for longer journeys, while optional reclining backs and fold-down armrests let passengers relax between stops. Extra-thick foam padding ensures a comfortable ride even on rough roads, and wide seat bottoms accommodate guests of all sizes. Integrated grab handles make it easy to stand up and move down the aisle safely when the vehicle is parked. Whether you’re transporting corporate clients or wedding guests, these seats deliver first-class comfort at an affordable price.
Overhead & Undercarriage Storage
Store backpacks, purses, and small bags within easy reach using the full-length overhead parcel racks running along both sides of the cabin. Larger items like suitcases, coolers, or equipment cases can be stowed in the rear luggage area behind the last row of seats—accessible via the main entry door or an optional rear hatch depending on configuration. Additional storage compartments near the driver provide space for personal belongings, paperwork, or emergency supplies. While not as spacious as the underfloor bays found on full-size coaches, these storage options are more than adequate for day trips, airport transfers, and most local charters around Austin.
