Lakeville Charter Bus Rentals from Charter Bus Company Lakeville

A charter bus is a large motorcoach that can be rented by private groups to provide customized transportation for events, trips, or recurring shuttles. Unlike public transit or scheduled intercity buses, a charter bus operates on your itinerary, making as many stops as you need. These vehicles typically seat 40 to 56 passengers and are equipped with comfortable reclining seats, strong air conditioning, onboard restrooms, luggage bays, and optional amenities like WiFi and power outlets.

Charter Bus Company Lakeville offers a wide range of buses in Lakeville and across Minnesota to accommodate groups of any size. Our fleet includes full-size charter buses (motorcoaches) that seat 47, 52, 54, 55, or 56 passengers—popular models include the Prevost H3-45, Van Hool CX45, MCI J4500, Setra S417, and Temsa TS45. We also have 15-, 20-, 24-, 25-, 28-, 30-, 32-, 35-, and 40-passenger minibuses from manufacturers like Grech Motors, Turtle Top, and Starcraft. For smaller groups, we offer sprinter vans (10–14 seats) and classic school buses (up to 47 children or 36 adults).

Most Lakeville charter buses include reclining seats, climate control, overhead parcel racks, underfloor luggage bays, a PA system, and an onboard restroom. Many vehicles also feature flat-screen monitors with DVD/Blu-ray players, WiFi, 110V or USB power outlets at every row, and hardwood-style flooring. Some newer models offer additional options such as HDMI inputs for gaming consoles, LED accent lighting, tray tables, or even galleys with coffee makers and refrigerators. Minibuses typically have similar seating and A/C but may lack restrooms or large baggage compartments.

Yes, full-size charter buses have substantial luggage capacity. There are two main storage areas: overhead parcel racks inside the cabin for small bags, backpacks, or jackets; and large undercarriage bays beneath the floor that can hold full-size suitcases, equipment cases, or even musical instruments. As a general guideline, each passenger can bring one carry-on for the overhead rack and one larger item for the baggage bay. If your group has extra-large or unusual cargo, please let us know when booking so we can assign an appropriate vehicle.

Yes, we can provide ADA-accessible charter buses in Lakeville and throughout Minnesota. These vehicles are equipped with a wheelchair lift, extra-wide center aisle, designated securement areas, and handrails. Please specify any accessibility requirements when requesting a quote so we can dispatch a bus that meets all your needs. We recommend booking at least 72 hours in advance for ADA service, but we will always do our best to accommodate last-minute requests.

Additional costs may apply for tolls, parking, driver lodging on overnight trips, or custom wraps. Providing a detailed itinerary upfront helps us give you the most accurate estimate.
