Charter bus pricing is based on several factors: the type and size of vehicle, total mileage, number of days or hours, seasonality, and any special requests (like custom wraps or multi-day parking). Additional fees may include tolls, parking, and driver lodging for overnight trips. Once you provide your full itinerary—including pickup/drop-off addresses and schedule—we’ll give you a comprehensive, all-inclusive quote.

Yes, if your trip requires an overnight stay, you are responsible for providing hotel accommodations for the driver. The hotel should be rated at least 3 stars and must offer secure parking for the bus. If you prefer, we can add the cost of the driver’s room to your invoice and handle the reservation. For multi-day trips, drivers are entitled to meal breaks and rest periods in accordance with federal regulations.

No, additional expenses such as tolls, bridge fees, and parking charges are not included in your initial quote and are the responsibility of the customer. These costs can vary depending on your itinerary and destinations. Your reservation specialist can help estimate these fees based on your route, but final amounts will be billed separately or collected during the trip. Please budget accordingly to cover these extra expenses.

Bloomington allows charter bus parking at designated locations near major attractions like the Mall of America and local hotels, but it’s important to check ahead for restrictions. Many private venues—including the Mall of America, hotels, and corporate campuses—require advance permission or reservations for oversized vehicles. For longer stops, coordinate with your destination to secure legal and convenient parking. Contact Charter Bus Company Bloomington at 507-366-1210 for help finding suitable parking.

Bloomington is served by Metro Transit buses and the Blue Line light rail, which connect to downtown Minneapolis, MSP Airport, and regional destinations. However, public transit operates on fixed schedules and routes that may not align with your group’s needs—especially for events at the Mall of America, corporate campuses, or local sports venues. A private charter bus offers door-to-door service, flexible timing, and customized itineraries that keep your entire group together. You’ll avoid transfers, missed connections, and last-mile issues while enjoying comfortable seating, onboard Wi-Fi, and storage for luggage or equipment. For groups traveling to or from suburban areas not well-served by transit, a charter bus provides faster and more reliable transportation.
