Bus Rentals in Minneapolis, Minnesota

A charter bus is a large motorcoach rented by a group for private transportation to and from destinations of their choice. Unlike scheduled public buses, charter buses run on custom itineraries set by the client—making them ideal for events, tours, corporate travel, or any situation where groups need to move together. Modern charter buses typically seat 40 to 56 passengers and include amenities like reclining seats, climate control, onboard restrooms, and Wi-Fi.
