Onboard Restrooms
Many of our 18-passenger minibuses can be equipped with an onboard half-bathroom (toilet and hand sanitizer), making them ideal for longer trips down I-90 to Albany or up the Northway to Saratoga. This amenity is especially popular with youth sports teams, wedding parties, and corporate groups who want to minimize unscheduled stops. If a restroom is important to your group, please mention it when requesting your quote—some models include it standard, while others offer it as an upgrade. Either way, we’ll make sure you get a minibus that meets your needs.

Perfect for showing training videos, movie favorites, or game highlight reels on longer trips.
