Joliet Minibus Rentals

The interior of a minibus is designed for both comfort and functionality, with rows of cushioned seats upholstered in durable fabric or leatherette, wide center aisle, and large tinted windows. Features include overhead lighting, individual reading lights, climate control vents, and storage compartments either overhead or at the rear. The front section includes a driver’s area separated by a partition, and some models offer video monitors mounted on the ceiling or front wall.

A mini bus typically seats between 15 and 35 passengers, depending on the specific model and configuration. Smaller minibuses have around 15–20 seats, mid-size versions offer 21–28 seats, and larger models can accommodate up to 30–35 people. This makes them ideal for medium-sized groups who need something larger than a van but smaller and more maneuverable than a full-size charter bus.

A Joliet mini bus rental includes amenities such as cushioned reclining seats, Wi-Fi, power outlets, USB ports, flat-screen TVs with DVD/Blu-ray players, PA system, overhead luggage racks, individual reading lights, climate control, and tinted windows. Larger models may also feature undercarriage storage bays and onboard restrooms. Additional options like leatherette upholstery, hardwood-style flooring, and custom branding are available upon request. Specific amenities vary by vehicle size and model; let us know what you need when booking.

Yes, most modern minibuses come equipped with power outlets and/or USB ports so passengers can charge their phones, laptops, tablets, and other electronic devices during the trip. Outlets are typically located along the side walls, below the windows, or integrated into the seat backs. If you need a specific number of outlets or USB ports per row, let your reservation specialist know when booking so they can match you with a vehicle that meets your requirements.

Mini buses generally do not have bathrooms due to their smaller size compared to full-size charter buses. However, some larger minibus models (typically those at the upper end of the seating capacity range) may include a compact restroom at the rear of the vehicle. If having a bathroom onboard is essential for your group, please specify this requirement when booking so we can provide a minibus with a restroom or recommend a larger vehicle that meets your needs.

Yes, minibuses offer luggage space either in the form of overhead compartments inside the cabin or external storage areas beneath the floor, depending on the bus model. Overhead compartments are suitable for small bags and personal items, while underbus storage can accommodate larger suitcases and equipment. If you have specific luggage requirements, let us know when booking so we can provide a minibus with adequate storage for your group’s needs.

It’s recommended to book your Joliet minibus at least six to nine months in advance, especially if your trip falls during peak travel seasons such as spring break, summer vacation, or major sporting events. Booking early ensures you get the best selection of vehicles and availability for your preferred dates. Last-minute reservations can be accommodated, but choices may be limited and prices may be higher due to demand.

No, your quote does not include tolls or parking fees, as these vary by location and must be paid separately. You are responsible for covering any tolls incurred during your trip and arranging payment for parking at your destination. For example, if you’re attending a game at Guaranteed Rate Field, plan on a $20 parking fee; Soldier Field lots range from $30–$60 depending on the event. Our team can help estimate these costs and advise on the best way to handle payments, but final responsibility rests with you. Be sure to factor in these additional expenses when budgeting for your trip.

Joliet’s public transit options include Metra commuter rail, Pace suburban buses, and Amtrak intercity service. While these systems provide basic regional connectivity, they operate on fixed schedules and routes that may not align with your group’s specific needs. A private minibus offers door-to-door transportation anywhere in Joliet and the Chicago area, flexible scheduling, and exclusive use of the vehicle for your entire group. It’s the best choice for events with multiple stops, tight timelines, or destinations not served by public transit.
