Leather seats on a Charter bus

Leather Seating

Upgrade your ride with optional leather or leatherette upholstery for a sleek, professional look.

Leather is available in black, gray, or custom colors to match your organization’s branding.

Storage space on a charter bus

Overhead & Undercarriage Storage

Store carry-on items in overhead bins above the seats, similar to an airplane. Larger bags, suitcases, and equipment can be loaded into the undercarriage storage bays beneath the main cabin.
