A charter bus rental in Minneapolis typically costs between $1,600 and $3,000 per day, or $200 to $375 per hour, depending on the size of the vehicle, length of the trip, and time of year.

Charter bus pricing in Minneapolis is based on several factors: the type and size of vehicle (minibus, full-size bus, sprinter van), the duration of the trip (hourly, daily, multi-day), total mileage, seasonality, and any special requests (e.g., custom wraps, upgraded amenities). Local trips within Hennepin County are often billed hourly, while longer or multi-day trips—such as shuttles to Duluth, Rochester, or out-of-state destinations—are billed by the day plus mileage. Additional costs may include driver lodging, tolls, and parking fees.

Yes, we require a non-refundable deposit to secure your reservation. The deposit amount is typically 30% of the total trip cost and must be paid when you sign the contract. This deposit ensures that your vehicle is reserved for your specific dates and cannot be booked by another party. The remaining balance is due before your trip departs. We accept major credit cards, ACH transfers, wire transfers, and checks for payment.

The final payment for your Minneapolis charter bus rental is due before the start of your trip. You can pay the balance at any time after placing your deposit, but it must be paid in full prior to departure. If you have questions about your payment schedule or need to arrange a payment plan, please contact our billing department at 608-871-8410.

Our Minneapolis charter buses come with a wide range of amenities to keep passengers comfortable and entertained on the road. Standard features include plush, reclining seats with headrests and armrests; powerful air conditioning and heating systems; overhead parcel racks; and spacious undercarriage storage bays for luggage or equipment cases. Most vehicles are equipped with flat-screen monitors, DVD/Blu-ray players, and a PA system with a wireless microphone for presentations or announcements. Wi-Fi and 110V/USB power outlets are available on request, either built into each row or mounted in the aisle. Larger buses may have a rear lounge area with wraparound seating, card tables, or even a small kitchenette with a microwave and coffee maker. Restrooms are available on vehicles over 35 feet long, featuring a flushing toilet, hand sanitizer dispenser, and baby-changing station. Additional options include LED accent lighting, hardwood-style flooring, tinted windows with blackout curtains, and custom branding packages with your company logo or team colors.

We recommend booking your charter bus at least six to nine months in advance, especially if your trip falls during a busy travel period like summer vacation, spring break, or the holiday season. Large events such as the Minnesota State Fair, Twin Cities Marathon, and major sporting events can also impact availability. However, we understand that last-minute trips happen, and we will do our best to accommodate your group even if you need a bus on short notice. Contact us as soon as you know your travel dates to secure the best rates and vehicle selection.

Yes, if your trip requires an overnight stay, you are responsible for providing hotel accommodations for the driver. The hotel should be a minimum of a three-star property and must be located within a reasonable distance of the group’s lodging or event venue. If the driver is unable to return home at the end of the day due to scheduling constraints, an overnight room will be required. For local Minneapolis-area trips that do not involve overnight travel, no accommodation is necessary.

No, your quote does not include tolls, parking, or other incidental expenses incurred during the trip. These additional charges are the responsibility of the customer and must be paid separately. Your quote covers the base rental fee, driver compensation, and fuel, but any toll roads, bridge fees, or paid parking lots encountered along the route will be billed either directly to the client or added to the final invoice after the trip. Be sure to budget for these extra costs when planning your transportation.

Minneapolis has several designated areas where charter buses can load, unload, and park. Downtown curbside zones are available near major hotels, the Minneapolis Convention Center, Target Center, and U.S. Bank Stadium for quick drop-offs and pick-ups. Long-term and overnight parking is permitted at specific surface lots and ramps, including the ABC Ramps (Ramps A, B, and C) and the Hawthorne Transportation Center. Pre-arranged parking is required at venues like Target Field and TCF Bank Stadium. For events at the Minneapolis Convention Center, buses can use nearby surface lots or street parking on adjacent blocks. Always check local regulations and obtain permits if necessary, as some areas restrict idling or have time limits for curbside stops. Contact your destination ahead of time to confirm the best parking options for your itinerary.

Minneapolis is served by Metro Transit, which operates local and express buses, the Blue and Green light rail lines, and Northstar commuter rail. While public transit is affordable and useful for solo travelers or small groups, it doesn’t offer the flexibility, comfort, or door-to-door service of a private charter bus. With Charter Bus Company Minneapolis, your group sets the schedule, avoids transfers, and travels directly between any locations in the Twin Cities region—including suburbs and outlying destinations not easily reached by transit. A private bus keeps everyone together, ensures reliable transportation after hours or during special events, and provides amenities like reclining seats, Wi-Fi, and onboard restrooms that make longer trips more pleasant.

Charter Bus Company Minneapolis provides airport shuttle services to and from Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport (MSP) as well as regional airports including St. Cloud Regional Airport (STC), Rochester International Airport (RST), Duluth International Airport (DLH), and flying cloud airport (FCM). We offer curbside pickup and drop-off at all MSP terminals, making it easy for groups to catch their flights or get home after a long trip. Our airport shuttles are perfect for corporate travel, student groups, sports teams, and families traveling together.

We serve every type of group! That includes K–12 school field trips, college tours, corporate outings, employee shuttles, wedding parties, sports teams, religious groups, senior citizen excursions, nonprofit organizations, and military or government travel. Whether you need a single bus for a small gathering or multiple vehicles for a large-scale event, we’ll help you find the right transportation at the right price. We’ve worked with clients ranging from Fortune 500 companies to local churches and Little League teams, so you can trust us to handle your trip with professionalism and care.

We provide charter bus services for any event or occasion, including weddings, corporate meetings, conventions, sporting events, concerts, festivals, church retreats, school field trips, campus shuttles, airport transfers, and multi-day tours. Popular destinations include the Minneapolis Convention Center, U.S. Bank Stadium, Target Field, Allianz Field, Xcel Energy Center, the State Theatre, Guthrie Theater, Minnesota Zoo, Mall of America, and local colleges like the University of Minnesota and Augsburg University. We also handle out-of-town trips to Duluth, Rochester, St. Cloud, and more.
