Amenities Available on our 18 Passenger Minibuses in Knoxville
Wi-Fi
Every 18-passenger minibus includes fast onboard Wi-Fi, perfect for checking email, streaming music, or joining video calls while stuck in Knoxville traffic on I-40 or Alcoa Highway. Passengers can stay productive on corporate shuttles to downtown offices or the UT Research Park, and students can complete assignments on the way to University of Tennessee campus events. Wedding guests and sports fans heading to venues like The Pavilion at Hunter Valley Farm or Neyland Stadium can share photos and coordinate plans in real time. The Wi-Fi supports multiple devices simultaneously, ensuring everyone stays connected across even the longest routes to Oak Ridge or Sevierville.
Onboard Restrooms
Our 18-passenger minibuses can be equipped with an onboard restroom, making them ideal for longer trips out of Knoxville or events where quick access to facilities is essential. This amenity is especially useful for sports teams traveling to away games, wedding guests moving between venues, or corporate groups heading to regional meetings. The restroom is located at the rear of the bus and is regularly cleaned and maintained for passenger comfort. It helps reduce the number of unscheduled stops, keeping your trip on schedule whether you're heading to Gatlinburg, Chattanooga, or back across town.
Onboard TVs
Flat-screen monitors are mounted throughout the cabin and can be used to play DVDs, stream content via HDMI, or display presentations for corporate groups. Sports teams can review game footage, wedding parties can enjoy a custom playlist, and business travelers can watch training videos en route. The sound system is integrated with the video displays for clear audio throughout the bus. Bring your own media or connect a laptop to keep everyone entertained from departure to arrival.
Power Outlets
Keep all your devices charged with multiple 110V power outlets and USB ports located throughout the cabin. Each row of seats has easy access to power, so laptops, tablets, and phones can stay plugged in for the entire journey. This is essential for business travelers preparing for meetings, students working on assignments, and anyone who needs to stay connected on the go. The electrical system is designed to handle multiple devices at once without overloads or interruptions.
Climate Control with Personal Air Vents
Advanced climate control keeps the cabin comfortable in any weather, with separate zones for the front and rear of the bus. Individual air vents above each seat allow passengers to adjust airflow to their liking, ensuring everyone stays cool in the summer and warm in the winter. The system responds quickly to temperature changes and maintains a consistent environment throughout the trip. Perfect for staying comfortable in Knoxville’s hot, humid summers and chilly winter days.
Leather Seating
Enjoy the ride in plush, high-back seats upholstered in premium leatherette. The seats are contoured for comfort, recline for relaxing or napping, and have padded headrests for support. Armrests and adjustable seatbacks make it easy to get you a comfortable position, whether you're reading, working, or just watching the scenery go by. The upholstery is durable, easy to clean, and gives the interior a professional, upscale appearance.
Overhead & Undercarriage Storage
Bring all your gear with generous storage options both inside and outside the cabin. Overhead racks run the length of the passenger area and are perfect for backpacks, jackets, and small bags. Larger items can be stowed in undercarriage compartments accessible from outside the bus, ideal for luggage, sports equipment, or presentation materials. There’s plenty of room for everyone’s belongings without crowding the aisles or seating area.
