Charter Bus & Minibus Rentals in Plymouth, Minnesota

A charter bus is a large motorcoach that’s hired by a private group to provide customized transportation. Unlike public transit or scheduled intercity buses, a charter bus operates on your itinerary—picking up, dropping off, and making stops exactly where and when you want. These vehicles are commonly used for school trips, corporate events, weddings, sports team travel, and multi-day tours because they offer comfortable seating, onboard amenities, and the capacity to move 35-56+ people efficiently over short or long distances.

Charter Bus Company Plymouth offers one of the largest and most diverse fleets in Plymouth and across Minnesota, ranging from 15-passenger minibuses to 56-passenger full-size charter buses and even custom party buses or sprinter vans for smaller groups. Our fleet includes popular models like the Van Hool CX45, Prevost H3-45, MCI J4500, Setra S417, Temsa TS35E, Grech Motors GM40, Turtle Top Odyssey XL, and more. We can accommodate groups of any size with vehicles that seat 15, 20, 25, 28, 30, 35, 40, 47, 50, 55, or 56+ passengers.

Most full-size charter buses include reclining seats, climate control, a restroom, luggage bays, overhead parcel racks, reading lights, power outlets or USB ports, and multiple flat-screen monitors with DVD/Blu-ray capability. Many also have WiFi and PA systems. Minibuses typically have forward-facing seats, A/C, and storage racks; some offer WiFi and AV screens. Party buses feature wraparound seating, LED lighting, Bluetooth sound systems, and space for coolers. We can provide ADA-accessible vehicles with lifts upon request.

Yes, full-size charter buses have substantial luggage space with undercarriage bays that can hold large suitcases, equipment cases, or band instruments, plus overhead compartments inside the cabin for smaller bags. As a rule of thumb, each passenger can bring one full-size suitcase for the baggage bay and one carry-on for the overhead rack. Minibuses have limited storage—usually just overhead shelves or a rear compartment—so they’re best for groups traveling light. If you have extra gear, let us know so we can recommend the right vehicle.

It’s best to book your charter bus at least 3 to 6 months in advance, especially if your trip falls during the busy spring (April-June) or fall (September-November) seasons when graduations, weddings, and sports events peak.
