Amenities Available on our 18 Passenger Minibuses in Highland
Wi-Fi
Stay connected on the road with 4G/5G Wi-Fi available on most 18-passenger minibuses in Highlands. Perfect for checking email during corporate trips to the Highlands Performing Arts Center, sharing photos from a wedding at The Farm at Old Edwards, or keeping kids entertained with streaming video on longer routes to Asheville or Atlanta. Ask your reservation specialist to confirm Wi-Fi availability and data limits when booking, as coverage and speed can vary in mountainous areas around US-64 and NC-28.
Onboard Restrooms
Many of our 18-passenger minibuses offer an onboard half-bathroom (toilet and hand sanitizer), ideal for longer trips out of Highlands or events where quick access is needed. This amenity is perfect for wedding guests, sports teams, or corporate groups traveling between Asheville, Atlanta, or remote mountain venues. Ask your reservation specialist to confirm restroom availability, as it varies by minibus model. Even without a restroom, your driver will gladly make regular comfort stops at convenient locations along US-64, NC-28, or any requested route.
Onboard TVs
Keep everyone entertained with multiple flat-screen monitors placed throughout the cabin, available on most 18-passenger minibuses in Highlands. These screens can play DVDs, connect to a laptop via HDMI for presentations or movie nights, and are perfect for passing the time on longer trips to Asheville, Atlanta, or Charlotte. Sports teams can review game footage, wedding parties can enjoy a custom video playlist, and corporate groups can run slide decks or training videos en route to their destination. Ask your reservation specialist about screen size and input options when booking.
Power Outlets
Never worry about devices running low—our 18-passenger minibuses come equipped with 110V power outlets and USB ports at every row. This is essential for corporate groups heading to meetings at the Highlands Conference Center, wedding guests needing to charge phones en route to The Farm at Old Edwards, or students keeping tablets powered on school trips. Larger devices like laptops can stay plugged in for the entire journey, making it easy to work, stream, or stay connected while traveling through the Highlands-Cashiers Plateau.
Climate Control with Personal Air Vents
Stay comfortable year-round with advanced climate control systems that handle both the summer heat and winter chill of the Highlands area. Each minibus features powerful A/C and heating units, with personal air vents above every seat so passengers can adjust airflow to their liking. This is especially important for groups dressed up for weddings or formal events, ensuring everyone arrives feeling fresh regardless of the weather outside. The system maintains a consistent temperature throughout the cabin, even on routes with frequent stops or steep elevation changes.
Leather Seating
Enjoy the ride in plush, high-back seats upholstered in either leatherette or premium cloth, depending on the minibus model. The seats are designed for comfort on longer journeys, with generous padding, reclining backs, and adjustable headrests. Wide armrests and ample legroom make it easy to relax, read, or catch a quick nap while on the road. The seating layout allows groups to sit together and converse comfortably, making the minibus feel more like a lounge than a typical commuter vehicle. For short trips around town or longer excursions out of the area, the seating provides a comfortable base for any type of outing.
Overhead & Undercarriage Storage
Bring all your gear along with generous storage options both inside and outside the cabin. Overhead parcel racks run the length of the interior, perfect for stowing backpacks, jackets, and smaller bags within easy reach. Larger items can be placed in rear luggage compartments or, on some models, in undercarriage bays accessible from outside the vehicle. This setup is ideal for airport transfers, sports teams with equipment, or event groups carrying banners and displays. All belongings are kept secure during transit, and loading or unloading is quick and efficient at each stop.
