restroom on minibus

Onboard Restrooms

This 18-passenger minibus includes an onboard restroom, making it easy to manage longer trips without unscheduled stops. Perfect for school field trips to Badlands National Park, corporate outings to Deadwood, or wedding shuttles between venues and hotels, the restroom helps keep your itinerary on track. Passengers will appreciate the convenience during drives across western South Dakota or through downtown Rapid City traffic. If you’re planning a route with limited access to public facilities, having a restroom onboard ensures everyone stays comfortable until the next scheduled break.

onboard tv on minibus

Onboard TVs

Every 18-passenger minibus comes with at least one flat-screen TV mounted at the front of the cabin, perfect for keeping passengers entertained on longer drives across South Dakota or through the Black Hills. These monitors support HDMI input so you can play movies, training videos, or custom slideshows directly from a laptop or media player. Upgrade packages include additional screens installed mid-cabin or ceiling-mounted units visible from every row. Built-in speakers deliver clear audio even at highway speeds, and there’s an AUX input for connecting external sound sources. Whether you’re shuttling a corporate group to a conference at The Monument or taking students on a field trip to Mount Rushmore, onboard TVs make the journey fly by.

Power outlets on minibus

Power Outlets

Keep your devices charged and ready with multiple power options at every seat. This minibus features both standard 110V outlets and USB ports, so passengers can plug in laptops, tablets, phones, or other electronics without sharing adapters. Perfect for business travelers catching up on email between meetings, students finishing assignments on the way to class, or anyone who wants to stream media during longer trips across Pennington County or into the Black Hills. No more fighting over limited outlets—everyone stays connected and powered up from departure to arrival.

air conditioning on minibus

Climate Control with Personal Air Vents

Stay comfortable in any weather with powerful dual-zone climate control and personal air vents at every seat. Rapid City winters can be harsh, but the high-output heater keeps the cabin warm even during early morning pickups or trips into the Black Hills. In summer, the rooftop A/C unit delivers cool air throughout the cabin, with adjustable vents allowing each passenger to direct airflow as needed. Forward-facing vents ensure consistent temperature distribution from front to back, while tinted windows help block out heat from the midday sun. Whether you’re heading downtown via Omaha Street or making a loop around Canyon Lake Park, everyone stays comfortable from pickup to drop-off.

Leather seats on minibus

Leather Seating

Upgrade your ride with plush leatherette seating that combines comfort, durability, and easy maintenance. Each high-back seat is contoured for support and features thick foam padding, making even longer trips to Mount Rushmore or Badlands National Park feel relaxing. Armrests and headrests come standard, while optional upgrades include reclining backs and fold-down footrests for added comfort. The leatherette material resists spills and stains, ideal for shuttling wedding guests in formal attire or transporting corporate clients between meetings at Rushmore Plaza Civic Center. Choose from classic black, neutral gray, or custom colors to match your event’s aesthetic—this interior looks sharp whether you’re pulling up to a hotel on Mount Rushmore Road or loading passengers curbside at Rapid City Regional Airport.

luggage compartments on a minibus

Overhead & Undercarriage Storage

Bring all your essentials along with generous storage options for bags, backpacks, and equipment. Overhead parcel racks run the length of the cabin, providing space for smaller items without cluttering the aisle—perfect for gym bags, purses, or boxed lunches on a trip to Sioux Park Complex or Roosevelt Ice Arena. Larger luggage can be stowed in the rear cargo area, accessible through double doors at the back of the bus. This compartment easily fits roller suitcases, coolers, or even folding tables for events at Main Street Square or Robbinsdale Park. If your group is traveling with extra gear—like musical instruments for a performance at Performing Arts Center of Rapid City or sports equipment for a tournament at Star of the West Sports Complex—undercarriage storage compartments are available on select models to accommodate bulkier items. No matter where your itinerary takes you, everyone boards with hands free and aisles clear.
