Amenities Available on our 18 Passenger Minibuses in Erie
Wi-Fi
Stay connected on the road with fast, reliable Wi-Fi available on every 18-passenger minibus. Perfect for business travelers heading to downtown meetings, students finishing assignments en route to Penn State Behrend, or anyone who wants to stream music and movies on the way to Presque Isle. This is mobile internet that actually works—because nobody wants to stare out the window at I-79 if they don’t have to.
Onboard Restrooms
You won’t find yourself stuck without a restroom on one of our 18-passenger minibuses because they DO come equipped with onboard lavatories. This feature is especially valuable for longer trips out of Erie—whether you’re heading to Pittsburgh for a Steelers game, Cleveland for a concert, or Buffalo for a business meeting—eliminating unnecessary stops and keeping your schedule on track. The restroom is compact but functional, designed for quick use so passengers can travel comfortably without constant interruptions. It’s one more way Bus Rental Company Erie makes group travel convenient and hassle-free.
Onboard TVs
Every 18-passenger minibus comes equipped with multiple flat-screen TVs mounted throughout the cabin, so everyone has a clear view—not just the people up front. Plug in a laptop or USB drive to run a company slideshow, wedding video, or hype reel for your kid’s travel basketball team heading to Erie Insurance Arena. There are auxiliary inputs for streaming content directly from a phone or tablet, and DVD/Blu-ray players are available if requested. Nobody will be asking “Are we there yet?” when you’ve got entertainment rolling from Harborcreek to Fairview and everywhere in between.
Power Outlets
Every seat on the 18-passenger minibus has access to power outlets and USB ports, so you can keep your devices charged no matter how long the trip. Whether you’re heading to a corporate event downtown, a wedding at the Bayfront Convention Center, or a sporting event at Erie Insurance Arena, you’ll appreciate being able to plug in laptops, phones, tablets, or any other electronic device. This feature is especially useful for business travelers who need to stay connected on the go or for families traveling with kids who want to keep their devices powered for the entire journey.
Climate Control with Personal Air Vents
Erie weather is unpredictable, but you’ll always be comfortable inside one of our minibuses thanks to advanced climate control with personal air vents at every row. Stay cool after a summer hike at Presque Isle or warm and dry following a winter event downtown—each passenger can adjust airflow to suit their preference, ensuring a pleasant ride regardless of the season or destination.
Leather Seating
Sink into plush, contoured leather seats that feel more like a luxury SUV than a typical shuttle bus. High backs, adjustable headrests, and optional reclining make even long rides down I-90 or up to Edinboro feel relaxing. There’s plenty of legroom to stretch out, and armrests add extra support whether you’re catching up on email or grabbing a quick nap before your next stop.
Overhead & Undercarriage Storage
Storage won’t be an issue on your next trip with our 18-passenger minibuses, thanks to both overhead compartments and spacious undercarriage bays. Overhead bins are perfect for keeping backpacks, purses, and smaller personal items easily accessible during the ride—ideal for quick trips around downtown Erie or out to local venues. For larger luggage, sports equipment, or even band instruments, the undercarriage storage provides ample room to stow everything securely out of the way. This means you can bring everything you need for the day—whether it’s a corporate event at the Bayfront Convention Center, a wedding at Presque Isle, or a school trip to the Erie Zoo—without cluttering up the aisle or cramping your seating area.
