This minibus seats up to 18 passengers in a modern, comfortable cabin with features that make even short trips feel upgraded. Each seat comes with a high-back recliner, individual armrests, and access to onboard WiFi and power outlets-perfect for staying connected on the drive between Santa Barbara and nearby cities like Ventura or Buellton. Overhead storage bins handle backpacks and small carry-ons while larger luggage fits in the rear cargo area.
