                              18 Passenger Minibus Rental
The 18-passenger minibus is the smallest shuttle bus option available from Durham Coach Bus Service in Durham—perfect for airport transfers at RDU, hotel shuttles, wedding party transportation, or moving corporate groups between buildings in downtown Durham and RTP. These run on Ford E350/E450 chassis with a 6.8L V10 gas engine making 305 hp/420 lb-ft and a 5-speed TorqShift automatic transmission. You get forward-facing high-back vinyl or cloth seats (optional leatherette), LED lighting, rear HVAC, tinted windows, USB/110V outlets, Bluetooth sound system, PA mic, and rear luggage area behind the last row. Exterior width is 94” so it fits tight urban streets. Operators include Executive Coach, Carolina Livery, and On Demand Transit.
20 Passenger Minibus Rental
The 20-passenger minibus adds an extra row over the 18P but keeps the same Ford E350/E450 chassis and powertrain for maneuverability. This is ideal for moving slightly larger groups such as sports teams heading to the Durham County Memorial Stadium, wedding guests to venues like The Cotton Room, or university shuttles around Duke and NCCU campuses. Seating configurations include forward-facing high-back seats with optional upgraded fabrics or leatherette, and there is rear storage space for luggage. Interior amenities feature LED lighting, rear HVAC, tinted windows, USB/110V outlets, Bluetooth audio, PA mic, and a rear luggage area. The exterior width remains at 94 inches, making it suitable for navigating city streets. Local operators providing this model include Executive Coach, Carolina Livery, and On Demand Transit.
                              
                              25 Passenger Minibus Rental
The 25-passenger minibus steps up to the larger Ford F550 chassis with a 6.7L Power Stroke V8 turbo diesel engine producing 330 hp/825 lb-ft and a 6-speed TorqShift automatic transmission. This is the workhorse for big shuttles: university athletics, band trips, airport runs with lots of luggage, or convention shuttles to the Durham Convention Center. You get forward-facing high-back seats with upgraded fabric/leatherette, LED lighting, rear HVAC, tinted windows, USB/110V outlets, Bluetooth audio, PA mic, and a rear luggage wall. It’s longer but still easier to maneuver than a full-size coach.
56 Passenger Charter Bus Rental
The 56-passenger motorcoach is the largest bus available from Durham Coach Bus Service in Durham and is built on either a Prevost H3-45 or MCI J4500 platform. This vehicle is designed for long-distance and high-capacity transportation needs such as school field trips, collegiate athletic travel, corporate outings, or large group tours. It features reclining seats with adjustable headrests, individual reading lights, overhead parcel racks, multiple video monitors with DVD/Blu-ray capability, a full PA system, Wi-Fi connectivity, 110V power outlets at each row, a rear galley area, and an onboard restroom. The exterior includes underfloor luggage bays capable of holding several suitcases per passenger. Operators running these coaches include Academy Bus, Sunway Charters, and private contract carriers.
