Charter Bus & Minibus Rentals in Richfield, Minnesota

A charter bus is a large motorcoach that is rented by a private group to provide customized, pre-arranged transportation on a schedule and route of the group’s choosing. Unlike public transit or fixed-route services, a charter bus operates exclusively for the client who booked it, making it ideal for group travel to events, tours, corporate functions, or multi-day trips. Modern charter buses typically seat 40–56 passengers and offer amenities such as reclining seats, climate control, onboard restrooms, and Wi-Fi.

Charter Bus Company Richfield offers a full range of vehicles from 15- to 35-passenger minibuses to 40-, 47-, 52-, and 56-passenger full-size charter buses, plus several 18- to 30-passenger party bus options. Available models include Van Hool CX and TX series, Prevost H3-45, MCI J4500 and D4505, Setra S417, Temsa TS30/TS35/TS45, Grech Motors GM33/GM36/GM40, and Turtle Top VT3/VX on Ford or Chevy chassis. Buses come in multiple colors (black, white, silver, custom) and can be wrapped or branded for your group.

Most full-size charter buses include reclining seats with headrests, individual reading lights, climate control, overhead parcel racks, undercarriage luggage bays, PA system, 110V/USB power outlets, flat-screen video monitors, DVD/Blu-ray player, Bluetooth audio, and a restroom with hand sanitizer. Many coaches also offer onboard Wi-Fi, leatherette upholstery, tray tables, and optional forward-facing or conference-style seating. Premium models may feature wood-look flooring, LED accent lighting, and larger video screens. Minibuses typically have high-back cloth or vinyl seats, A/C, PA, and optional luggage area.

Yes, all full-size charter buses and most larger minibuses have dedicated luggage space. Full-size coaches (40–56 seats) are equipped with both overhead parcel racks inside the cabin and large undercarriage luggage bays accessible from outside the bus. As a general guideline, each passenger can bring one full-size suitcase (up to 50 lbs.) for the undercarriage storage and one smaller carry-on bag or backpack for the overhead compartment. This makes charter buses ideal for airport transfers, multi-day trips, or any event where guests need to bring personal items, equipment cases, or display materials. If your group has unusually large, bulky, or additional items (such as band instruments, athletic gear, or trade show displays), please mention this when booking so we can recommend a vehicle with adequate capacity.

Yes, Charter Bus Company Richfield can provide ADA-accessible buses with wheelchair lifts, wider aisles, and accessible restrooms upon request. Many newer 40- and 56-passenger coaches are built to be fully ADA compliant, and several minibus models (20–35 seats) are available with lift-equipped doors. Just let us know your accessibility needs when you request a quote, and we’ll make sure your bus meets all ADA requirements.

Charter bus pricing in Richfield is affected by the size and type of vehicle, the distance and duration of the trip, the time of year, and any special requests such as custom wraps or onboard amenities. Additional factors include whether the trip is local or out-of-town, tolls and parking fees, and driver lodging for multi-day trips. Peak demand periods—such as spring and fall for school trips, summer weekends for weddings, and dates overlapping major events like Minnesota State Fair, Vikings or Twins games, and large conventions at the Minneapolis Convention Center—can also impact availability and rates. Last-minute bookings may incur higher rates, while multi-day or repeat trips may qualify for discounts.

You should book your Richfield charter bus as early as possible—ideally 3 to 6 months in advance for the best availability and rates. Spring and fall are especially busy due to school trips, sports seasons, and weddings, so advance booking is critical during these times. For trips during major events (such as the Minnesota State Fair, Vikings or Twins games, or large conventions), securing your bus 6 to 12 months ahead is recommended. Last-minute bookings are possible but may be subject to limited availability and higher rates.

Yes, we require a deposit at the time of booking to secure your reservation. The deposit amount is typically 30% of the total trip cost but may vary depending on the size of the vehicle and the length of the trip. Full payment is due 14 to 30 days before the departure date. For bookings made less than 30 days in advance, full payment is required upfront. We accept all major credit cards, ACH transfers, and business checks. Payment terms will be clearly outlined in your contract, and our team is available to answer any questions about billing or invoices.

Your quote includes the charter bus rental, driver’s wages, fuel, insurance, and any tolls incurred during the trip.
