We’ve talked a lot about the Joy Rider but let me also introduce Junior….JOY RIDER JR. that is!

Joy Rider Jr. is a 6 passenger mini bus with executive seating, all set up for the same entertainment as the larger Joy Rider….party lights, Bluetooth speaker, and endless fun!

But the Jr doesn’t have to be a party bus. Think transportation to the airport, dinner with friends, fishing trip, golf trip, girls day out….whatever your needs, this little bus is versatile!

Interested? Give us a call for pricing and availability! 419-910-9017
