Amenities Available on our 18 Passenger Minibuses in Fort Wayne
Wi-Fi
Stay connected on the road with free Wi-Fi available on every 18-passenger minibus rental in Fort Wayne. Passengers can check email, stream music, browse social media, or catch up on work while traveling to corporate events, school functions, or airport transfers at Fort Wayne International Airport. It’s the perfect way to keep everyone productive and entertained during longer trips across Northeast Indiana.
Onboard Restrooms
Our 18-passenger minibuses include onboard restrooms—a critical amenity for longer trips and out-of-town travel. While many smaller shuttles skip this feature, our models offer a compact lavatory with toilet and hand-wash station so your group can avoid unnecessary stops on I-69, US-30, or US-24. Ideal for school field trips, athletic teams heading to Indianapolis or Chicago, and corporate outings that demand comfort over distance.
Onboard TVs
Entertainment comes standard with dual flat-screen monitors mounted at the front of the cabin. Connect devices via HDMI to run video presentations, play movies, or display slideshows during transit. Perfect for keeping youth groups engaged, sharing wedding videos en route to the reception, or running training content for employees headed to a job site.
Power Outlets
Every row of seats includes access to 110V power outlets and USB charging ports. Nobody’s phone, tablet, or laptop has to run out of battery before arriving downtown or at Purdue University Fort Wayne. Combined with our Wi-Fi hotspot capability, passengers can stay fully powered and online from pickup to drop-off.
Climate Control with Personal Air Vents
Ride in comfort year-round thanks to a high-output HVAC system with dashboard controls and additional ducting to the rear. Adjustable air vents let each passenger fine-tune airflow at their seat. Whether it’s a humid summer day or freezing winter morning, the cabin remains cool, warm, and comfortable.
Leather Seating
Upgrade your experience with optional leatherette upholstery in black, gray, or two-tone color schemes. The seats feature contoured padding, integrated headrests, and folding armrests for ergonomic support over longer distances. Aisle space is generous enough for easy boarding but compact enough to maximize seating capacity within the minibus footprint.
Overhead & Undercarriage Storage
Store personal bags and backpacks in the overhead parcel racks running along both sides of the cabin. Larger items like suitcases, athletic gear, or presentation materials fit in the rear luggage compartment behind the last row of seats. This external storage area is accessible via a separate door and keeps bulky cargo out of the main passenger space.
