Amenities Available on our 25 Passenger Minibuses in Santa Cruz
Wi-Fi
Stay connected on the road with free WiFi available on every 25-passenger minibus! Perfect for checking email, streaming music, or sharing photos of your trip over Highway 17, this amenity keeps everyone productive and entertained from pickup to drop-off. Upgrade packages with additional bandwidth are also available upon request.
Onboard Restrooms
Say goodbye to unnecessary pit stops! Our 25-passenger minibuses come equipped with onboard restrooms, making them ideal for long-distance trips, wine tours through the Santa Cruz Mountains, or shuttling guests to weddings and events without delay. It’s comfort and convenience you won’t find with other local providers.
Onboard TVs
Turn travel time into entertainment time with multiple flat-screen TVs installed throughout the cabin. You can easily hook up a DVD player, laptop, or streaming device to play movies, presentations, or highlight reels during the ride. It’s a great way to keep kids engaged on school field trips or review game footage with your athletic team before a big match.
Power Outlets
Never run out of battery on the road again! Every row of seats includes access to power outlets and USB ports so passengers can charge smartphones, tablets, laptops, and other electronic devices while traveling. This feature is especially valuable for corporate groups heading to tech conferences, students bringing Chromebooks on campus shuttle runs, or anyone relying on GPS and communication apps during transit around the Bay Area.
Climate Control with Personal Air Vents
Beat the Central Coast fog and summer heat with advanced climate control systems that maintain a comfortable temperature inside the cabin year-round. Individual air vents allow each passenger to adjust airflow to their liking, whether you’re navigating coastal breezes along West Cliff Drive or climbing steep grades en route to Silicon Valley. No matter the weather outside, you’ll ride in comfort from start to finish.
Leather Seating
Experience upgraded comfort with leather-trimmed seating available on select 25-passenger minibuses. The contoured seats provide ergonomic support for longer journeys, while adjustable headrests and reclining backs let you relax between stops. Optional bench-style seating in the rear section accommodates larger items or additional passengers as needed.
Overhead & Undercarriage Storage
Storage won’t be an issue thanks to spacious overhead compartments for carry-on bags and undercarriage bays for larger luggage. Bring coolers, backpacks, and equipment onboard without sacrificing legroom. It’s the perfect setup for airport transfers to SFO/SJC, beach outings to Natural Bridges, or weekend retreats in Big Sur.
