Amenities Available on our 18 Passenger Minibuses in Franklin
Wi-Fi
Stay connected on the road with free, fast Wi-Fi available on every 18-passenger minibus—perfect for checking email, streaming music, or sharing photos of your trip whether you’re headed to a Titans game, a corporate event in Cool Springs, or a wedding downtown. Passengers can use the free WiFi to catch up on emails, stream videos, or check social media during longer rides. It’s also handy for navigating maps or looking up local attractions while en route.
Onboard Restrooms
While most trips around Franklin are short enough that you won’t miss having a restroom onboard, our largest minibuses (and all full-size coaches) do come equipped with a clean, fully functional lavatory for longer journeys out of town. Perfect for school trips, sports teams, or corporate outings heading beyond city limits, this feature helps keep your schedule on track by minimizing unscheduled stops.
Onboard TVs
Each minibus comes equipped with multiple flat-screen monitors mounted throughout the cabin, allowing everyone onboard to enjoy movies, training videos, or live TV fed from a central DVD player, Blu-ray, or HDMI input. It’s a great way to keep sports teams entertained on the way to a tournament, run through a presentation with your sales staff en route to a meeting, or simply put on a favorite film for younger passengers during a school outing.
Power Outlets
Keep your devices charged and ready to use with convenient power outlets and USB ports located at every row of seats. There’s no need to worry about running out of battery during a long drive—everyone can stay plugged in and powered up for the entire journey. This feature is especially useful for business travelers who need to work on laptops or tablets while on the go.
Climate Control with Personal Air Vents
Every minibus is equipped with a powerful climate control system that keeps the cabin comfortable no matter what the weather is like outside. Passengers can adjust individual air vents to direct airflow exactly where they want it, ensuring a pleasant ride for everyone onboard. Whether you’re traveling in the heat of summer or the chill of winter, you’ll always be able to relax in comfort.
Leather Seating
Relax in style with plush, leather-upholstered seats that offer plenty of cushioning and support for longer rides. The high-back design provides excellent head and neck support, while adjustable armrests and reclining backs allow you to find the perfect seating position. There’s ample legroom between rows, so even taller passengers will have space to stretch out and get comfortable.
Overhead & Undercarriage Storage
Store backpacks, purses, and other small items within easy reach using the overhead parcel racks that run along both sides of the cabin. Larger bags and equipment can be stowed in the rear luggage area, which offers plenty of space for suitcases, coolers, or musical instruments. This combination of storage options makes it easy to keep the aisle clear and the cabin organized during your trip.
