Charter Bus & Minibus Rentals in Plymouth, Minnesota

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 runs exclusively for your party—whether that’s a school, company, sports team, wedding, or event—making any pickups, stops, and departures you request. Modern charter buses typically seat 40–56 passengers, offer luggage storage and onboard amenities, and are booked through a full-service company that provides the vehicle, driver, and support.

Charter Bus Company Plymouth offers one of the largest and most diverse fleets of buses in Plymouth and the entire Minneapolis–St. Paul region, with vehicles ranging from 15-passenger minibuses to 56-passenger full-size motorcoaches and several options beyond those standard sizes. Our fleet includes multiple models of each size category—such as the 18, 20, 24, 28, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, and 56-passenger vehicles—so we can accommodate groups of any size and easily dispatch multiple buses for larger parties or complex itineraries. We carry vehicles from all the leading manufacturers in the industry, including Van Hool, Prevost, MCI (Motor Coach Industries), Setra, Temsa, Grech Motors, Turtle Top, and Champion, which are known for their reliability, comfort, and advanced features. Many of our coaches are late-model or even brand-new units, ensuring you get a vehicle with the latest amenities and the best possible ride quality. We also offer several different interior configurations, including standard forward-facing seats, executive layouts with upgraded upholstery and work tables, and party-style setups with perimeter seating and additional entertainment options. If you need something specific—such as a bus with extra luggage space, a particular seating arrangement, or a vehicle wrapped in custom graphics—we can provide it. Just let us know what you’re looking for, and we’ll match you with a bus that meets your exact requirements.

Most modern buses in Plymouth come standard with reclining seats, individual reading lights, powerful air conditioning, luggage bays, and onboard WiFi and 110V/USB power outlets. Additional amenities often include flat-screen monitors with DVD/Blu-ray players, a quality sound system with PA microphone, and a full-size restroom. Many coaches feature upgraded interiors with leatherette or fabric upholstery, adjustable headrests, and optional amenities like seatback tray tables, Bluetooth audio, or even hardwood-style flooring. Larger groups can request multiple video screens, while smaller minibuses typically include forward-facing seats, A/C, and basic AV options. Specific amenities vary by bus size and model, but most requests can be accommodated.

Yes, and it’s one of the biggest advantages of traveling by charter bus. Full-size motorcoaches (40–56 passengers) have large undercarriage luggage bays that can hold one full-size suitcase per person—perfect for airport transfers, multi-day trips, or groups with bulky gear. Inside the cabin, overhead parcel racks run the length of the bus and are ideal for backpacks, duffel bags, or carry-on items. The general rule: each passenger can bring one large bag for the luggage bay and one smaller bag for the overhead rack. Minibuses (15–35 passengers) don’t have underfloor bays but offer generous interior storage, rear cargo areas, and overhead shelves for smaller items. If your group has special equipment—like skis, band instruments, or sports gear—just ask. We can usually accommodate it, and for oversized items, some buses are equipped with rear luggage doors or exterior racks.

Absolutely. Charter Bus Company Plymouth is committed to providing accessible transportation for all passengers, and we offer ADA-compliant buses of every size—from 15-passenger minibuses to 56-passenger full-size coaches—anywhere in Plymouth or the Twin Cities region. Our ADA-accessible vehicles are equipped with hydraulic lifts that can accommodate standard power or manual wheelchairs, securement areas inside the cabin, and wider aisles for easy maneuvering. On a full-size coach, the lift is typically located mid-ship or at the rear door, while minibuses have lifts at the main entry. Each accessible bus includes at least one wheelchair tie-down area (with four-point restraints), and larger models can accommodate two or more mobility devices. The securement areas are integrated into the main seating area so that passengers using wheelchairs or scooters can travel comfortably with the rest of their group. In addition to the lift and tie-downs, our ADA-compliant buses feature low entry steps, grab handles, and accessible restrooms on larger coaches. If you have specific accessibility needs—such as multiple mobility devices, extra space for boarding, or assistance from the driver—just let us know when you book. We regularly provide accessible transportation for schools, senior groups, medical appointments, and special events, and we’ll make sure you get a vehicle that meets all ADA requirements. Need an ADA-accessible bus? Call us at 612-509-2120 anytime.
