Charter Bus & Coach Bus Rentals in St. Louis Park, Minnesota

A charter bus is a private, pre-arranged vehicle rented by a group to travel together on a schedule and route of their choosing. It is not a public or fixed-route service like a city bus or intercity carrier (e.g., Greyhound). Instead, the entire vehicle is reserved for the exclusive use of the party that books it, whether for a one-way, round-trip, or multi-day itinerary. Charter buses are commonly used for corporate outings, school trips, sporting events, weddings, and other group functions where participants need to arrive and depart together. Modern charter buses typically seat 20 to 56 passengers and offer amenities such as reclining seats, climate control, onboard restrooms, Wi-Fi, power outlets, and luggage compartments. The rental price usually includes the vehicle, driver, fuel, and insurance, but may exclude tolls, parking, and driver gratuity.

Charter Bus Company St. Louis Park offers a full fleet of buses in St. Louis Park, Minneapolis, and across Hennepin County. Our lineup includes 15- to 35-passenger minibuses, 40- to 56-passenger full-size motorcoaches, and several party bus or specialty coach options. We carry vehicles from top manufacturers such as Van Hool, Prevost, MCI (J4500, D4505), Setra (S417), Temsa, Grech Motors, Turtle Top, and Champion—so you can always get the exact size and style you need. Most models are available in multiple exterior colors (white, black, silver, custom), and many feature upgraded interiors with leatherette seating, wood-look flooring, or executive layouts. If you need something even larger, we can dispatch multiple buses at once for big events or complex moves.

Our St. Louis Park charter buses come standard with reclining seats, individual reading lights, strong HVAC, and overhead parcel racks. Most larger coaches (40+ seats) include an onboard restroom, flat-screen video monitors, DVD/Blu-ray players, and a PA system with wireless microphone. We also offer 4G/5G Wi-Fi, 110V power outlets at every row, USB charging ports, and Bluetooth audio. Many newer models feature vinyl or leatherette upholstery, wood-look flooring, and optional forward-facing tables or card tables. For longer trips, ask about coaches with six-video screens, HDMI inputs for laptops or gaming consoles, and forward-facing tables. Minibuses typically seat 15 to 35, with forward-facing seats, strong A/C, and optional Wi-Fi and USB ports. Full-size motorcoaches (40 to 56 passengers) add reclining seats, flat-screen monitors, DVD/Blu-ray players, PA system, onboard restroom, 110V outlets, and Wi-Fi. Premium models include leatherette upholstery, wood-look flooring, and forward-facing tables. We can also provide party buses (with wraparound seating and sound system), sprinter vans, and custom vehicles for any size group.

Yes, all our St. Louis Park charter buses have ample luggage space. Full-size motorcoaches (40 to 56 passengers) offer both overhead parcel racks inside the cabin and large undercarriage baggage bays accessible from outside the bus. As a rule of thumb, each passenger can bring one full-size suitcase (roller bag) for the undercarriage and one smaller carry-on or backpack for the overhead compartment. The baggage bays can accommodate oversized items such as sports equipment, band instruments, or trade show materials. Minibuses (15 to 35 passengers) have overhead racks and limited rear cargo space, but no underfloor bays. If you have bulky or extra luggage, let us know in advance so we can assign a larger vehicle or add a trailer. Party buses and sprinter vans have limited luggage space but can handle carry-ons and small bags. If you’re traveling with oversized items such as skis, bikes, or equipment cases, let us know in advance so we can assign a vehicle with extra capacity or add a luggage trailer. We recommend one large suitcase plus one carry-on per person for smooth loading and unloading.

Yes, we offer ADA-accessible buses in St. Louis Park and across the Twin Cities. Several of our minibuses (25 to 35 passengers) and full-size motorcoaches (up to 56 passengers) can be equipped with a wheelchair lift, wider entry doors, and designated securement areas inside the cabin. These buses also feature handrails, slip-resistant flooring, and accessible restrooms (on larger coaches). Just let us know your accessibility requirements when you request a quote, and we’ll make sure you get a vehicle that meets all ADA guidelines. We regularly serve passengers with mobility devices, so our team is experienced in coordinating curb cuts, lift operation, and securement procedures at schools, hospitals, event venues, and hotel loading zones. If you need an ADA-accessible bus on short notice, we can often dispatch one within hours.

Several factors affect the price of a charter bus rental in St. Louis Park: the size and type of vehicle (minibus vs. full-size coach), the total duration of the trip (hours or days), the distance traveled (local vs. out-of-town), and the time of year. Additional variables include the number of days, mileage, fuel costs, tolls, parking fees, and whether the trip spans multiple days or requires overnight driver accommodations. Special events such as Vikings, Twins, or Gophers games, concerts at Target Center or U.S. Bank Stadium, and summer wedding season can also impact availability and rates.

It’s best to book your charter bus at least 3 to 6 months in advance, especially if your trip falls during the busy spring or fall travel seasons. Large events such as graduations, weddings, and sports tournaments can quickly fill up the available fleet. For trips during peak times—such as spring break, summer weekends, or major events like the Minnesota State Fair or Twin Cities Marathon—booking 6 to 12 months ahead is recommended. Last-minute bookings are possible but may be limited in vehicle selection and subject to higher rates. Once you have your date and headcount, secure your bus early to lock in availability and pricing. You can always adjust the details later if needed.

Yes, we require a deposit at the time of booking to secure your reservation. The deposit is typically 30% of the total rental cost but may vary depending on the size of the vehicle and the length of the trip. Full payment is due 30 days before the departure date. For bookings made less than 30 days in advance, the entire balance is due at the time of reservation. We accept all major credit cards, ACH transfers, and corporate checks. Payment schedules and terms will be clearly outlined in your contract. If you need special arrangements, such as split billing or purchase orders, please contact our accounting department.

Your quote includes the bus rental, driver’s wages, fuel, insurance, and any standard amenities (Wi-Fi, power outlets, A/V system).

If your trip requires bridge tolls, airport fees, or hotel parking, those will be billed separately. Driver accommodations (hotel room) are not included for overnight trips.
