Charter Bus Rentals in Minneapolis

A charter bus is a large, comfortable vehicle rented by a group for private transportation to and from specific destinations on a schedule they choose. Unlike public buses or pre-sold tours, a charter bus operates entirely at the direction of the group that hires it. These buses are commonly used for events such as corporate outings, school trips, sporting events, weddings, or multi-day excursions, offering amenities like reclining seats, air conditioning, onboard restrooms, and entertainment systems.

Many newer coaches offer optional onboard Wi-Fi, upgraded sound systems, HDMI inputs, and USB charging at every seat. Minibuses typically have high-back cloth or vinyl seats, A/C, PA system, and luggage space but may not have video monitors or restrooms.
