The Brute Rental Shuttle Bus is a small travel bus in Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online.
Influence[]
HD Universe[]
The Rental Shuttle Bus, like the Tour Bus, is influenced by cutaway chassis models of the Chevrolet Express (the primary influence for the Burrito) fitted with a low-floor bus body. The Rental Shuttle Bus in particular is likely inspired by rental shuttles offered by rent-a-car services such as Enterprise Rent-A-Car and Hertz. [1][2]
Design[]
Grand Theft Auto V and Online[]
The Rental Shuttle Bus is a minibus with an identical design to the Tourbus, itself being a first generation Burrito with an extended chassis and a large, wide compartment on the back, similar to the Camper. This compartment has eight seats that passengers can use, and what appears to be two access doors (although these are not functional and the occupants simply warp directly to the rear seats). On the inside it says, "Welcome to Los Santos," and it has FlyUS seat covers. The bus also has Light Smoke window tint applied by default.[3]
The van has two liveries, a white/yellow Escalera Rent-A-Car livery, and a blue/white Touchdown Car Rentals livery. While both liveries existed in the game's initial release, the Touchdown livery was removed in the Heists update. The livery can still be seen in the original versions of the game (see Trivia).

Performance[]
Grand Theft Auto V and Online[]
The Rental Shuttle Bus performs poorly in all areas of handling; due to its size and weight, acceleration and top speed are mediocre. Handling leaves much to be desired, as it has a very wide turning radius and it suffers from understeer. Its soft suspension also leads to excessive body roll. Durability is average, as the bus can withstand a fair amount of abuse before its engine fails, and it can ram other cars off the road quite easily. It shares the handling with the Tour Bus.
The bus appears to be powered by a transversely laid, double overhead camshaft Inline-4, which is stated to be a 4500cc (4.5L) Turbo Diesel engine similar to the Ambulance. The sound emitted when at idle and accelerating sounds like a typical low-revving diesel engine, similar to the Burrito and most vans. This would be vital considering how heavy the vehicle is.

Variants[]
- The bus was intended to spawn with or without the rear roof extra, but as the model's extras are forced to be permanent, the van cannot be seen in a roofless condition without the use of trainers or mods.[4]
Locations[]
Grand Theft Auto V[]
- Found parked in parking lots in front of the Los Santos International Airport. The Shuttle Bus is almost never locked or alarmed, meaning it is very easy to steal without any police attention. Care should be taken, as multiple armed policemen are usually patrolling the area.
- Rarely seen driving on roads near the LSIA main runways.
Grand Theft Auto Online[]
- Can be bought for $30,000 from Warstock Cache & Carry.
Oversights[]
Grand Theft Auto V and Online[]
- The front driver and passenger side windows do not spawn. This is due to the shuttle roof being considered a "convertible" roof where the windows should not spawn. As this extra component is forced to spawn at all times, the windows do not spawn.
Trivia[]
Grand Theft Auto V[]
- The van's blue/purple Touchdown livery was removed in the Heists update, but only affecting the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions of the game, meaning it can still be seen on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions of the game. The texture file also still exists in the base game's vehicle texture file, which is unused.[5]
