20 Passenger Minibus

Stay connected on the road with free onboard WiFi available on every 20-passenger minibus—perfect for catching up on email during a UCSB campus shuttle, streaming music on a wine country tour, or sharing photos from your Santa Barbara Zoo field trip. This is real high-speed wireless internet that works anywhere your bus goes, including Highway 101, downtown State Street, Isla Vista, Goleta, Carpinteria, and even remote wedding venues in the Santa Ynez Mountains. Passengers can use their laptops, tablets, or smartphones to browse the web, join Zoom calls, upload videos, and keep up with social media without burning through their data plan. If you’re coordinating a corporate event at the Hilton Beachfront Resort or need reliable connectivity for a film production shoot, this feature keeps everyone online and productive from curbside pickup to final drop-off.

Minibuses DO NOT have restrooms. If you need a vehicle with a restroom, please request a full-size charter bus instead.

Keep everyone entertained with multiple flat-screen TVs mounted throughout the cabin—ideal for watching movies, playing video content, or displaying custom messages during your trip. Each screen can be synced together to show the same program or run independently for different viewing zones. Input options include HDMI, USB, DVD/Blu-ray, and auxiliary ports, making it easy to connect a laptop, media player, or game console. Sports teams can review game footage en route to Peabody Stadium; wedding parties can enjoy a slideshow of the happy couple; corporate groups can play a welcome video or training module. Combined with the powerful sound system, these monitors turn your minibus into a mobile theater for trips up and down the Central Coast.

Never worry about running out of battery thanks to multiple 110V power outlets and USB charging ports installed throughout the cabin. Each row of seats has easy access to at least one standard electrical outlet and dual USB ports, so passengers can plug in laptops, tablets, smartphones, or other electronic devices without fighting over limited receptacles. This feature is especially valuable for business travelers heading to meetings in downtown Santa Barbara, students keeping devices charged on a UCSB loop, or anyone who wants to stream video and work on documents during longer trips. The electrical system is robust enough to handle multiple devices at once—including high-draw equipment like CPAP machines or camera chargers—so everyone stays powered up from departure to arrival. If you have specific requirements for charging stations or need to run specialized equipment, let our reservation team know and we’ll match you with a minibus that fits your needs.

Stay cool in the summer and warm in the winter with a powerful HVAC system that keeps the entire cabin comfortable regardless of the weather outside. Each minibus comes equipped with either dual-zone or tri-zone climate control, allowing the driver to set different temperatures for the front and rear sections of the vehicle. Large roof-mounted condensers and multiple evaporator coils ensure rapid cooling even when parked in direct sunlight on State Street or waiting at the Santa Barbara Harbor. In addition to overhead air distribution, many models feature individual adjustable vents for each row of seats, so passengers can direct airflow exactly where they want it. The heating system is integrated with the engine’s coolant loop and supplemented by auxiliary electric heaters for fast warm-up on chilly mornings. Insulated sidewalls, double-pane windows, and tight door seals help maintain consistent temperatures and reduce noise from outside. Whether you’re shuttling wedding guests to a blufftop ceremony, running a corporate loop between office campuses, or transporting athletes after a hard practice, everyone will appreciate arriving refreshed and ready thanks to effective climate control.

Ride in comfort and style with plush leatherette upholstery on every seat—a standard feature on all of our 20-passenger minibuses. This premium synthetic material looks and feels like real leather but offers superior durability and easy maintenance, making it ideal for high-traffic charter service. Available in classic colors like black, gray, or beige, the leatherette gives the interior a sleek, modern appearance that suits everything from corporate transportation to wedding shuttles. Each seat is generously padded with high-density foam, contoured for ergonomic support, and features an integrated headrest for added comfort on longer trips. Optional upgrades include contrast stitching, embroidered logos, or two-tone color schemes to match your organization’s branding. Armrests, reclining backs, and adjustable lumbar support are available depending on the specific model. Whether you’re heading up the 101 to a wine tasting in Paso Robles or down to LA for a concert, you’ll appreciate the upscale feel and easy-clean practicality of leatherette seating.

Bring everything you need thanks to generous storage options both inside and outside the cabin. Full-length overhead parcel racks run along both sides of the aisle, providing space for backpacks, purses, laptop bags, and small cases without cluttering the floor. Larger items can be stowed in the rear luggage compartment, which is accessible via a wide exterior door and offers up to 50 cubic feet of cargo space depending on the model. This area easily accommodates suitcases, coolers, folding tables, or athletic equipment, making it perfect for airport transfers, team travel, or group outings. Additional storage includes seat-back pockets for personal items and optional underfloor compartments on certain chassis configurations. Wedding parties can stash decorations and gift bags; corporate groups have room for briefcases and presentation materials; school trips can pack extra supplies and boxed lunches. Whatever your itinerary calls for—whether it’s a day trip to Channel Islands Harbor or an overnight excursion to San Francisco—there’s plenty of room for everyone’s gear.
