Charter Bus Rentals in Maple Grove, Minnesota

A charter bus is a large motorcoach rented by a group for private transportation to and from specific destinations on a custom schedule. Unlike public transit or pre-scheduled tours, a charter bus operates exclusively for the hiring party—such as schools, businesses, sports teams, or event attendees—with routes, stops, and timing tailored to the group’s needs. Modern charter buses typically seat 40 to 56 passengers and offer amenities like reclining seats, climate control, onboard restrooms, Wi-Fi, and luggage compartments.

Charter Bus Company Maple Grove offers a wide range of buses in Maple Grove, including full-size 56-passenger motorcoaches, mid-size 25- to 35-passenger minibuses, and several models of 18- to 28-passenger minibuses. Our fleet includes vehicles from top manufacturers like Van Hool, Prevost, MCI (J4500, D4500), Setra (S417), Temsa, Grech Motors (GM33, GM36), Turtle Top, and Champion. We can also provide party buses, sprinter vans, and ADA-accessible coaches. Most vehicles are available in multiple exterior colors (black, white, silver, custom) and can be wrapped or branded for your event.

Most full-size charter buses include reclining seats, individual reading lights, powerful HVAC/climate control, onboard restroom, luggage bays, overhead parcel racks, 110V/USB outlets, flat-screen monitors, DVD/Blu-ray player, PA system, and optional Wi-Fi. Many newer coaches offer leatherette upholstery, forward/rear-facing seating, card tables, and Bluetooth audio. Minibuses typically have cloth or vinyl seats, strong A/C, overhead storage, 12V/USB power, and optional sound system. Larger coaches may feature Wi-Fi, HDMI inputs, and premium seating. Additional options include custom exterior wraps, headrest covers, window shades, and upgraded sound/video packages.

Yes, all full-size charter buses and most minibuses have dedicated luggage space. Full-size coaches (40–56 passengers) feature large undercarriage baggage bays that can hold one large suitcase per passenger, plus carry-on items. Overhead parcel racks inside the cabin accommodate backpacks, duffel bags, or smaller roller bags. The standard allowance is one full-size bag below and one carry-on above per person. Minibuses (20–35 passengers) have smaller rear cargo areas or limited underfloor storage, suitable for one medium bag per rider. For trips with extra gear—such as sports equipment, band instruments, or trade show materials—additional baggage space can be arranged in advance.

Several factors influence the cost of a charter bus rental in Maple Grove: the size and type of vehicle (minibus vs. full-size coach), length and distance of the trip, time of year, duration of the rental (hourly, daily, or by mileage), and any additional amenities requested (Wi-Fi, DVD monitors, etc.). Seasonal demand can also impact pricing—rates may be higher during peak travel times such as spring and fall for school trips, or when major events like Maple Grove Days or large sports tournaments are happening in the Twin Cities area. Additional costs may include tolls, parking, and driver lodging for overnight trips.

It’s best to book your charter bus as early as possible—ideally 3 to 6 months in advance—to ensure availability and get the best rate. Spring and fall are especially busy due to school trips, weddings, and sports events, so advance booking is crucial during these seasons. For large events or multi-bus rentals, booking 6 to 12 months ahead is recommended. Last-minute rentals are possible but may be more expensive and limited in vehicle selection.

Yes, we require a deposit to secure your reservation. The deposit amount is typically 20–30% of the total rental cost and is due at the time of booking. The remaining balance is due 30 days before the date of your trip. For bookings made less than 30 days in advance, full payment is required upfront. We accept credit cards, ACH payments, and corporate checks. Payment terms will be clearly outlined in your contract.

Your quote includes the rental of the bus, driver’s wages, fuel, insurance, and any standard amenities (A/C, restroom, PA system, etc.). Additional expenses such as tolls, parking fees, and driver lodging or meals are not included and are the responsibility of the customer. For example, parking passes at venues like Target Field or U.S. Bank Stadium can range from $30 to $100 depending on the lot. Any optional add-ons (Wi-Fi, DVD monitors, etc.) will be itemized in your quote. Gratuity for the driver is not included but is appreciated.
