Blaine Charter Bus Rentals

A charter bus is a large, professionally operated motorcoach rented by a group for private transportation to and from specific destinations on a custom schedule. Unlike public transit or pre-sold tours, a charter bus operates entirely at the direction of the client—whether that’s a school, business, sports team, wedding party, or event organizer. Modern charter buses typically seat 40–56 passengers, offer comfortable forward-facing seats, strong climate control, onboard restrooms, and optional amenities like Wi-Fi and video screens.

Charter Bus Company Blaine offers a full range of vehicles from 15- to 35-passenger minibuses to 40- to 56-passenger full-size motorcoaches, plus several party bus and specialty coach options. Common models include Grech Motors and Turtle Top minicoaches; Van Hool CX45, Prevost H3-45, MCI J4500, Setra S417, and Temsa HD full-size coaches; and custom-built party/limo buses for 18–40 guests. Many vehicles are available in multiple exterior colors (white, black, silver, or custom), and larger coaches can be wrapped with company or team branding on request.

Most Blaine charter buses include reclining cloth or leatherette seats, individual reading lights, powerful HVAC, and overhead parcel racks. Larger coaches (and some minibuses) offer free Wi-Fi, 110V power outlets or USB ports at every row, up to six flat-screen video monitors, DVD/Blu-ray playback, Bluetooth PA systems, and a full-size onboard restroom. Additional options include forward-facing tray tables, six-channel audio, HDMI inputs for gaming or streaming devices, and custom seat upholstery. Exterior luggage bays are standard on all 35+ passenger coaches.

Yes, every Blaine charter bus has dedicated luggage space. Full-size motorcoaches (40–56 seats) feature large undercarriage baggage bays that can hold one full-size suitcase per passenger—perfect for airport transfers, multi-day trips, or athletic equipment. Inside the cabin, overhead parcel racks run the length of the coach for carry-on bags, backpacks, or briefcases. The standard guideline is one large item below and one smaller item above per person, but groups with extra gear (band instruments, sports bags, trade show materials) should mention this when booking so we can assign a coach with additional capacity. Minibuses (15–35 seats) have generous overhead racks and limited rear cargo space but no underfloor bays—best for day trips or groups traveling light.

Yes, Charter Bus Company Blaine can provide ADA-accessible buses with wheelchair lifts, wider aisles, priority seating, and accessible restrooms on request. Many newer full-size coaches are built to ADA specs and can accommodate one or two mobility devices secured safely in the main cabin. Please specify any accessibility needs (lifts, ramps, service animal space, low-step entry) when requesting your quote so we can assign a suitable vehicle. We regularly work with schools, senior groups, and event planners to ensure everyone can travel comfortably.

Several factors influence the cost of a charter bus rental in Blaine: the size and type of vehicle (minibus vs. full-size coach), the length and duration of the trip (local vs. long-distance), the time of year (spring and fall are busiest), and any special requirements like ADA accessibility or luxury amenities. Additional charges may apply for tolls, parking, or driver lodging on overnight trips. Large events at the National Sports Center or TPC Twin Cities can also impact availability and rates due to increased demand.

It’s best to book your charter bus as early as possible—ideally 2–6 months in advance—to ensure the best availability and rates. Spring and fall are peak seasons due to school trips, sports, and weddings, so buses can sell out quickly. For major events at the National Sports Center or TPC Twin Cities, book at least three months ahead. Last-minute rentals are possible but may be more expensive and limited in choice. Once you have your date and headcount, get a quote and secure your bus with a deposit.

Yes, we require a deposit at the time of booking to reserve your vehicle. The balance is typically due 30 days before the trip. We accept major credit cards, ACH transfers, and company checks. For bookings made less than 30 days in advance, full payment is required upfront. Payment terms will be clearly outlined in your contract. Please note that the reservation is not confirmed until the deposit is received.

Your quote includes the bus rental, driver’s wages, fuel, insurance, and any standard amenities (Wi-Fi, power outlets, video screens). Not included are tolls, parking fees, and driver lodging on overnight trips. For example, parking at U.S. Bank Stadium or Target Field can cost $50–$100. You’ll be responsible for those additional expenses. Everything will be clearly itemized in your contract before you sign.
