18 Passenger Minibus
For groups of 18, the minibus is a great mid-size option that can handle anything from a corporate shuttle to a wedding party transfer across Hayward or the East Bay. This is a forward-facing, single-door model with comfortable high-back seats and a luggage area in the rear. It’s popular for airport runs to Oakland or SFO, hotel shuttles, and small-team sports travel because it’s big enough for people and bags but still easy to maneuver and park. We can get you this bus in Hayward, San Leandro, Castro Valley, Union City, or anywhere else you need it—just ask when you get your quote.

Onboard Restrooms
Many 18-passenger minibuses in Hayward come equipped with a compact onboard restroom, ideal for longer trips or routes with limited stopping options. This amenity is especially useful for groups traveling to destinations like San Francisco or San Jose, reducing the need for unscheduled breaks. The restroom is typically located at the rear of the bus and includes basic facilities for passenger convenience.

Onboard TVs
Keep your group entertained with multiple flat-screen TVs placed throughout the cabin. You can play DVDs, connect a laptop via HDMI, or stream content directly over Wi-Fi. This is great for sports teams reviewing game footage, corporate groups watching presentations, or kids’ groups staying occupied with movies on longer trips.

Power Outlets
Every row of seats has access to either 110V power outlets or USB charging ports, so passengers can keep phones, tablets, and laptops powered up for the entire trip. This is essential for business travelers heading to meetings in downtown Oakland or San Francisco, as well as for event attendees who need to stay connected on the go. Just bring your charger, plug in, and you’re set.

Climate Control with Personal Air Vents
Our 18-passenger minibus offers powerful heating and air conditioning with personal air vents above each seat, keeping everyone comfortable year-round. This is essential for staying cool during hot East Bay summers or warming up after outdoor events in Hayward. The driver can adjust the temperature for the entire cabin, while passengers fine-tune airflow at their individual seats. Whether you’re dressed up for a wedding at Hayward City Hall or coming off the field after a game at Chabot College, you’ll ride in comfort from start to finish.

Leather Seating
Enjoy the ride in comfortable, high-back seats upholstered in durable cloth or optional leatherette. The seats are contoured for support, recline for relaxing on longer trips, and have padded headrests. Armrests and adjustable seatbacks make it easy to get comfortable whether you’re reading, working, or catching a quick nap.

Overhead & Undercarriage Storage
Bring all your gear along with generous storage options both inside and outside the bus. Overhead parcel racks run the length of the cabin for backpacks and smaller bags, while larger items can be stowed in a rear luggage area or underfloor bays on select models. This setup is perfect for airport transfers with luggage, sports teams with equipment bags, or event groups carrying banners and displays.
