Bus Rentals in Saint Paul, Minnesota

A charter bus is a large motorcoach rented by a group for private transportation to and from specific destinations on a custom schedule. Unlike public transit or pre-scheduled tours, a charter bus operates exclusively for the client’s itinerary—whether that’s a one-way trip, round-trip, or multi-stop journey over several days. Modern charter buses typically seat 40–56 passengers and are equipped with comfortable forward-facing seats, climate control, luggage bays, onboard restrooms, and optional amenities like Wi-Fi or video monitors.

Charter Bus Company Saint Paul offers a full range of buses in Saint Paul, including 15- to 35-passenger minibuses, 40- to 56-passenger full-size motorcoaches, party buses for 10 to 50, and several specialty vehicles. Our fleet includes vehicles from top manufacturers like Van Hool, Prevost, MCI (J4500, D4505), Setra (S417), Temsa, Grech Motors, Turtle Top, and Champion. We can also provide school buses (up to 47 passengers), sprinter vans (11–15 passengers), and custom vehicles for oversized groups or special events.

Most modern buses include reclining seats, individual reading lights, powerful HVAC, luggage bays, overhead parcel racks, and a clean onboard restroom. Standard amenities include reclining high-back seats, strong air conditioning, overhead parcel racks, underfloor luggage bays, and a full-size onboard restroom. Most larger coaches offer free Wi-Fi, 110V power outlets or USB ports at every row, and up to six flat-screen video monitors with DVD/Blu-ray input. Many coaches now support HDMI hookups for laptops or gaming consoles and Bluetooth audio through the cabin speakers. Newer models feature LED aisle lighting, three-point seat belts, and upgraded sound systems. Optional upgrades include leatherette upholstery, custom headrest covers, or exterior branding for your group.

Yes. Every full-size charter bus has generous luggage space both above the seats and below the floor. Each passenger can bring one large suitcase (up to 50 lbs.) for the undercarriage bay plus a smaller carry-on bag or backpack for the overhead rack—similar to airline baggage allowances. The underfloor bays easily fit bulky items like coolers, band instruments, or athletic gear. Minibuses have smaller rear cargo areas but still accommodate one mid-size bag per person. If you’re traveling with extra-large items—such as skis, trade show cases, or AV equipment—just let us know in advance so we can assign a coach with maximum storage capacity. For oversized cargo, we can dispatch a second bus or arrange a separate support vehicle.
