Minneapolis Charter Bus Rentals

A charter bus is a large, privately rented motorcoach designed to transport groups of people together on a schedule and route of their choosing. Unlike public transit or scheduled intercity buses, a charter bus operates entirely at the direction of the client—making it ideal for events, tours, corporate outings, or any situation where group travel requires flexibility, comfort, and coordination. Modern charter buses typically seat 40 to 56 passengers and offer amenities for long or short-distance travel.

Charter Bus Company Minneapolis offers a full fleet of vehicles that includes 15- to 35-passenger minibuses, 40- to 56-passenger full-size charter buses, and several 18- to 30-passenger party buses. Available models include Van Hool CX45 and TX40, Prevost H3-45, MCI J4500 and D4505, Setra S417, Temsa TS30, Grech Motors GM40/GM36/GM33, and Turtle Top VT3/VT4. Most vehicles can be ordered in black, white, silver, or custom colors. Many of the larger coaches are ADA-accessible and can be equipped with custom amenities upon request.

Most modern charter buses include reclining seats with headrests, individual reading lights, powerful air conditioning, overhead parcel racks, and underfloor luggage bays. Entertainment options typically feature flat-screen monitors, DVD/Blu-ray players, and a PA system with microphone. Many coaches offer onboard Wi-Fi, 110V power outlets or USB ports at each seat, and at least one full-size restroom. Larger coaches may have up to three video monitors, Bluetooth audio, and optional leather upholstery. Additional amenities can include card tables, tinted windows, and custom lighting.

Yes, all full-size charter buses and most mid-size coaches have generous luggage space. There are large undercarriage luggage bays that can hold suitcases, equipment cases, or bulky items, as well as overhead parcel racks inside the cabin for smaller bags and personal items. The standard guideline is one large suitcase per passenger in the baggage bays plus one carry-on-sized bag in the overhead rack. For trips requiring extra luggage—such as sports teams with gear or airport transfers with multiple bags per person—additional storage can be arranged.

Yes, Charter Bus Company Minneapolis can provide ADA-accessible buses of all sizes, including 15- to 35-passenger minibuses and 40- to 56-passenger full-size coaches.

Several factors influence the cost of a charter bus rental: the size and type of vehicle, the distance traveled, the duration of the trip, and the time of year. Additional expenses may include tolls, parking fees, and driver lodging for overnight trips. Special events such as major concerts, sporting events, or festivals can also impact pricing due to increased demand and traffic congestion. Requesting premium amenities or an ADA-accessible vehicle may result in a slightly higher rate.

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 peak seasons due to school trips, sports, and weddings, so advance booking is especially important during these times. For large events or custom itineraries, booking 6 to 12 months ahead is recommended. Last-minute bookings can often be accommodated, but selection may be limited and rates may be higher.

Yes, a deposit is required at the time of booking to secure your reservation. The deposit amount is typically 20–30% of the total trip cost. The balance is due 7 to 14 days before the departure date. For bookings made less than two weeks in advance, full payment is required upfront. Payment can be made by credit card, ACH transfer, or company check. Flexible payment plans are available for large or complex trips.
