Amenities Available on our 18 Passenger Minibuses in Palm Springs
Wi-Fi
Stay connected on the road with free Wi-Fi available on every 18-passenger minibus. You can check email, stream music, or share photos from your trip—all without using up your data plan. It’s perfect for business groups heading to the Palm Springs Convention Center, wedding guests sharing pictures from a ceremony at The O’Donnell House, or students researching a school trip to the Palm Springs Air Museum. If you’ve got a long drive out to Joshua Tree or need to catch up on work before a meeting, onboard Wi-Fi keeps everyone productive and entertained until you reach your destination.
Onboard Restrooms
Every 18-passenger minibus comes equipped with an onboard restroom located at the rear of the cabin. This feature is ideal for longer trips across the Coachella Valley, such as corporate outings to the Palm Springs Convention Center, wedding shuttles to venues like The O’Donnell House, or day trips to Joshua Tree National Park. Having a restroom onboard minimizes unnecessary stops, keeps your schedule on track, and provides added comfort for passengers of all ages. It’s especially convenient when navigating busy event traffic during festivals or transporting school groups and athletic teams who need reliable facilities on the go.
Onboard TVs
Keep your group entertained with multiple flat-screen monitors mounted throughout the cabin. You can play DVDs, connect a laptop via HDMI, or run a slideshow of event information. It’s great for showing corporate videos on the way to a conference, playing a wedding slideshow for guests, or keeping kids occupied with movies during a long drive. There’s also a PA system so you can make announcements or give a guided tour as you roll through downtown Palm Springs.
Power Outlets
Each row of seats includes dual USB ports and standard 110V outlets so everyone can keep their devices charged. No more fighting over a single plug—there’s enough power for phones, tablets, laptops, and even small medical equipment. Business travelers can finish a presentation before arriving at the convention center, while vacationers recharge cameras and portable speakers for a day at the pool.
Climate Control with Personal Air Vents
Advanced climate control systems maintain a comfortable temperature in any weather, backed by powerful AC compressors designed for desert conditions. Individual air vents let passengers adjust airflow to their liking. When summer temperatures soar past 100°F, you’ll appreciate having one of the best cooling systems available on any shuttle bus.
Leather Seating
Passengers ride in comfort on high-back seats upholstered in either vinyl or upgraded leatherette, depending on the model. Contoured cushions provide support for longer trips, and optional headrests add an extra touch of luxury. Armrests and reclining backs make it easy to relax while someone else handles the driving.
Overhead & Undercarriage Storage
Storage options include overhead parcel racks for backpacks and jackets, plus a rear luggage compartment that holds larger bags and equipment. There’s room for everyone to bring a carry-on plus a personal item, making this minibus suitable for airport transfers to PSP as well as local charters. School groups and sports teams can stow gear out of the way and keep the aisle clear.
