Amenities Available on our 18 Passenger Minibuses in Berkeley
Wi-Fi
Every 18-passenger minibus comes standard with high-speed 4G/5G Wi-Fi, perfect for passengers who need to work, stream, or stay connected while on the road. This is especially useful for corporate travelers heading to meetings in downtown Oakland or San Francisco, students on academic trips, or event guests coordinating plans online. The network supports multiple devices simultaneously, ensuring smooth connectivity even when crossing the Bay Bridge or traveling through areas with spotty cell service.
Onboard Restrooms
Our Grech Motors GM33 and Glaval Universal minibuses can be equipped with a full-size onboard restroom located at the rear of the cabin. This amenity is invaluable for longer trips—such as athletic or corporate outings to San Francisco, Walnut Creek, or San Jose—reducing unscheduled stops and keeping the schedule on track. The restroom is fully enclosed for privacy and regularly serviced to maintain cleanliness throughout the journey.
Onboard TVs
Flat-screen TVs are mounted throughout the cabin and support DVD playback as well as HDMI input for laptops or gaming consoles. This feature is popular with sports teams reviewing game footage, wedding parties sharing slideshows, or corporate groups watching presentations. Audio can be routed through the bus’s sound system for full-cabin viewing.
Power Outlets
Each seating row includes multiple 110V power outlets and USB-A/C ports, allowing passengers to charge laptops, tablets, and smartphones during the trip. Business travelers can keep devices powered for remote work, while other guests stay charged for entertainment or communication. Reliable power access ensures everyone arrives with fully charged devices.
Climate Control with Personal Air Vents
Advanced HVAC systems maintain a comfortable temperature year-round, with powerful air conditioning for hot East Bay summers and efficient heating for cooler months. Individual air vents above each seat allow passengers to adjust airflow to their preference, ensuring consistent comfort throughout the cabin regardless of weather conditions outside.
Leather Seating
All 18-passenger minibuses feature plush, high-back seats upholstered in premium leather or leatherette. Ergonomically designed for comfort, the seats include adjustable headrests, armrests, and optional recline functionality. The upscale seating is ideal for formal events, corporate travel, or any group seeking a comfortable ride.
Overhead & Undercarriage Storage
Carry-on bags, backpacks, and smaller items can be stored in spacious overhead racks running the length of the cabin. Larger luggage, equipment cases, or athletic gear can be placed in exterior undercarriage bays accessible from outside the bus. Ample storage ensures the aisle remains clear and all belongings are safely stowed.
