Charter Bus Rentals in Minnetonka, Minnesota

Charter bus rentals in Minnetonka typically cost between $1,300 to $3,400+ per day depending on the size of the vehicle, length of your trip, and any additional amenities requested. You can get an instant quote by calling our team at 507-366-1210 or using our online quote tool. We’ll need details like your travel dates, passenger count, and itinerary to provide accurate pricing.

We calculate your price based on several factors: the size/type of vehicle (seats 15–56), how long you need it (hourly, daily, multi-day), mileage, and seasonality (peak rates apply for summer/fall). Additional charges may include driver lodging for overnight trips, tolls, parking fees, and special amenity requests. Once we have your full itinerary, we’ll send a detailed quote showing exactly what’s included so there are no extra charges later.

Yes, we require a non-refundable deposit to secure your reservation. The deposit amount will be specified in your contract and must be paid before we can confirm your booking. This deposit is applied toward the total cost of your rental, with the balance due prior to your trip. Final payment deadlines and accepted payment methods (credit card, ACH, wire transfer) will be outlined in your agreement. We cannot hold buses without a signed contract and deposit.

Final payment is due prior to the start of your trip—typically 30 days before departure. If you book less than 30 days in advance, full payment is required at signing. We accept major credit cards, ACH transfers, and wire payments. Your reservation isn’t confirmed until the deposit is received; if the balance isn’t paid on time, your trip may be canceled and you’ll forfeit the deposit. Payment terms will be clearly outlined in your contract.

Our charter buses come standard with cushioned reclining seats, powerful air conditioning, overhead parcel racks, reading lights, and either a PA system or wireless microphone for announcements. Most larger coaches include flat-screen video monitors, DVD players, and at least one onboard restroom. Every vehicle has Bluetooth-compatible speakers so you can play music directly from your phone.

If you need something specific—like luggage bays, a beverage cooler, or a custom seating layout—just ask when you book.

We recommend booking your charter bus at least 6 to 9 months in advance, especially if you’re traveling during peak seasons like spring and fall. This lead time gives you the best chance of securing the exact vehicle and amenities you want, and allows us to accommodate any special requests. Last-minute bookings are possible but availability may be limited and prices may be higher. As soon as you have your trip dates and headcount, contact us to get a quote and lock in your reservation.

Yes, if your trip requires an overnight stay, you are responsible for providing and paying for the driver’s hotel accommodations. The hotel should be a minimum of 3 stars and located within a reasonable distance of the group’s lodging or event venue. If you prefer, we can arrange the driver’s lodging and add the cost to your invoice. For longer trips, drivers are required by law to take mandatory rest breaks; failure to provide proper accommodations may result in service delays or cancellations.

No, your quote does not include tolls, parking fees, or other incidental expenses incurred during the trip. These additional costs are the responsibility of the customer and must be paid separately. Tolls will be billed after the trip based on actual usage. Parking fees at hotels, venues, or event sites must be paid directly by the customer either in advance or on-site. Please budget accordingly and ask your representative if you have questions about potential extra charges.

Finding legal and convenient charter bus parking in Minnetonka can be challenging due to local restrictions and limited lot sizes. Many private venues—including hotels, schools, and corporate campuses—require advance permission to park a full-size coach on their property. Public options are scarce, but Ridgedale Center (the area’s largest shopping mall) may allow short-term bus parking in designated sections of their expansive surface lots; always call ahead to confirm current policies. For longer stays or staging between pickups, consider contacting nearby park-and-ride facilities operated by Metro Transit, such as the Hopkins or Minnetonka Boulevard lots, which sometimes accommodate oversized vehicles by arrangement. If your destination lacks suitable parking, coordinate curbside drop-off and pickup while the bus waits offsite. Downtown Minneapolis is just 20 minutes away via I-394 and offers several commercial lots that accept charter buses for a fee. When you book with Charter Bus Company Minnetonka, our dispatch team will help you identify the best available parking options based on your exact itinerary and ensure compliance with all local regulations.

Minnetonka is served by Metro Transit buses and Southwest Prime, but routes are limited, schedules can be infrequent, and transfers are often required for regional travel. Public transit doesn’t serve many business parks, schools, or residential areas directly, making it inconvenient for large groups or those with tight itineraries. A private charter bus offers door-to-door service on your schedule, with no transfers or missed connections. It’s faster, more comfortable, and ideal for groups traveling to destinations not easily reached by public transit—such as downtown Minneapolis, MSP Airport, local schools, corporate campuses, or event venues across the Twin Cities.
