Our Gary charter buses include amenities like reclining seats, climate control, onboard WiFi, power outlets/USB ports, flat-screen TVs with DVD players, Bluetooth audio, PA systems, and hardwood-style flooring. Larger buses (40+ passengers) feature forward-facing cloth or leatherette seats, individual reading lights, and spacious luggage bays. Many models offer optional leatherette upholstery, folding tray tables, and advanced sound systems. 56-passenger coaches include a full audio-video system, multiple monitors, and a powerful PA for group announcements.

Yes, all our Gary charter buses have ample luggage space. Full-size coaches (40+ passengers) feature large undercarriage luggage bays that can hold one full-size suitcase per passenger, plus carry-on items. Overhead parcel racks inside the cabin accommodate backpacks, briefcases, and smaller bags. For smaller groups, minibuses (up to 35 passengers) offer interior luggage storage behind the rear seats or in dedicated compartments. If your group has extra baggage—such as sports equipment, musical instruments, or trade show materials—let us know when booking, and we’ll recommend a vehicle with sufficient storage capacity. As a general guideline, each passenger can bring one large bag for the luggage bay and one smaller item for the overhead compartment.

Yes, most of our Gary charter buses are equipped with 110V power outlets and USB charging ports. These are typically located at each seating row, either below the window or between seats, allowing passengers to charge phones, tablets, laptops, and other electronic devices during the trip. Larger motorcoaches (40+ passengers) usually have at least one outlet per pair of seats, while newer models may offer individual USB ports for every passenger. If reliable access to power is essential for your group—such as business travelers or students—please mention this when booking, and we’ll ensure your vehicle has the necessary amenities.

Yes, most of our larger Gary charter buses (40-56 passengers) come with a restroom located at the rear of the coach. The onboard restroom includes a toilet, hand sanitizer dispenser, and small sink or vanity area. It’s designed for quick, emergency use rather than extended visits. Smaller minibuses (under 35 passengers) typically do not have restroom facilities due to space constraints. If having a bathroom on board is important for your trip, please confirm availability when booking, and we’ll assign a vehicle that meets your needs. For longer journeys, the driver can also schedule regular rest stops at convenient locations along the route.
