Each row includes multiple 110V outlets and USB-A/C ports, ensuring that laptops, tablets, and phones stay charged throughout the trip. This is essential for business travelers working en route, students attending academic events, or guests needing to power devices on longer journeys.

Leather Seating

Our 25-passenger minibuses feature plush, high-back seats upholstered in premium leatherette or optional real leather. Available in black, gray, or custom colors, the seats recline up to 45 degrees, include adjustable headrests and armrests, and offer three-point seatbelts for comfort and safety. The upholstery is durable, easy to clean, and gives the cabin a professional, upscale appearance—perfect for executive, athletic, or formal event travel. Optional upgrades include full-grain leather, contrast stitching, and embroidered logos for a truly custom interior.

Carry-on bags, backpacks, and coats can be stowed in spacious overhead racks running the length of the cabin.

This maximizes interior space and keeps aisles clear.
