Bus Rentals in Rochester, Minnesota

A charter bus is a large motorcoach rented by a private group to provide custom, pre-arranged transportation on a schedule and route of the group’s choosing. It typically seats 40–56 passengers, includes onboard amenities (restrooms, Wi-Fi, DVD monitors, reclining seats), and is used for group travel such as corporate outings, school trips, sports team transportation, event shuttles, or multi-day tours. The rental includes the vehicle, driver, fuel, and basic insurance.

Charter Bus Company Rochester offers a full range of vehicles from 15-passenger minibuses to 56-passenger full-size motorcoaches, with several options in between. Available models include Van Hool CX45, Prevost H3-45, MCI J4500, Setra S417, and Temsa TS35E for larger groups, as well as Grech Motors and Turtle Top mid-size coaches. Most vehicles are available in multiple exterior colors (white, black, silver) and can be wrapped or branded for your event.

Most full-size charter buses include reclining seats, individual reading lights, climate control, luggage bays, overhead parcel racks, PA system, 110V/USB outlets, flat-screen monitors, DVD/Blu-ray player, Wi-Fi, and a restroom. Many newer coaches offer optional leatherette seating, forward-facing tables, hardwood-style flooring, and Bluetooth audio.
